FeatherBoard 6.0.2 BETA
Only fully tested for 1.21.3, partially tested on 1.20.4-6

PLEASE USE 5.8.0 AS A STABLE VERSION

Note: This update is a major update and will break existing configurations. It is recommended to delete the "FeatherBoard" directory completely. Also keep in mind that beta updates may reset the configuration. Expect a set of new versions until mid-January to ensure we squashed all the bugs.

Removed features
Some features are removed to facilitate the configuration and to facilitate updating and troubleshooting of issues
- Removed the scoreboard update methods and configuration for these update methods. Instead, the plugin will determine the best option.

- Database is now required and can not be toggled off
- Removed modules, this feature will be reintroduced differently in the upcoming months.

Breaking
- "scoreboards" is the default scoreboard directory and can no longer change this under tweaks. This change has been made to prevent errors related to wrongly placed/moved files.
- Older Minecraft versions (i.e., everything below 1.16) are dropped.
- ProtocolLib is now a required dependency.
- $setting_SETTINGHERE$ is now {{ setting:SETTINGHERE }}
- The FeatherBoardAPI is deprecated and will throw warning messages. It will be removed in future versions. Check https://featherboard.org/api for more info.

Forward-looking statements
I want FeatherBoard to exist for another 10 years, these are my short-term plans to make this a reality

Expected features
- ArcadeBoard games will be moved to FeatherBoard. ArcadeBoard as a plugin will be deprecated, existing buyers (before 27/12/2024) will be moved to FeatherBoard.

Technical
- The scoreboard API, which is now merged with the ArcadeBoard API will be expanded to ensure that developers can easily create scoreoboards and games.
- Currently, modules are unused, the modules server will be open-sourced and games will be added as modules.
- The effect system will be rewritten to be more flexible. This will allow developers to create their own effects.
Currently, effects do not support images, this will be changed in the future.
