Changes

BlockBall v5.4.0

Developer Notes

Adding support for the new minecraft version (1.13) has been difficult this time as there are many big changes. The spigot-server.jar (and minecraft 1.13 in general in my opinion) is far from being stable for production. Even my development world corrupted several times when working on this update so please be very careful and take precautionary measures!
Please notice, WorldEdit for 1.13 is required to setup arenas in 1.13.
Join the new discord if you have got further questions.
