• World.getMinHeight() does not exist in 1.16.4 (only in 1.16.5).

Thanks to Zenya4

• Added support for 1.17
• Migrated from Java 1.6 to 1.8 (Java 1.8 is now required as a minimum version)
• Added new API methods getMinLightHeight and getMaxLightHeight
• Removed mcstats since the project died long ago
• Added the config file to the plugin as a resource
• Suppressed the warning "Could not find ... implementation. Trying CraftBukkit instead"

Thanks to @LOOHP and @Ynohtna (QuentiumYT)

Added support for 1.16.4 (+update 1.16.3)

Added support for 1.16.2

• The format and content of messages has been changed
• The ability to turn off the coloring of the log has been added (parameter "colored-log")

To see new parameter you should delete the old config,yml so that a new one is created at server startup.

Allows to create not only light from block, but also from sky. This is useful if you need to create a light source inside the cave, which will look like light under the open sky. The actual illumination, in this case, will depend both on the set light level and on the time of day.

This is useful if you want to send chunk changes not to all nearby players, but only to a specific list. For example, in plugins, with frequent light changes, a list of ignored players can be configured (due to their slow computers). In this case, players will not see light changes until the chunks reload.

Now all five 1.14 servers are supported:

• CraftBukkit
• Spigot
• Paper
• TacoSpigot
• Akarin

Only CraftBukkit and Spigot are tested. All other server types need to be tested by yourself.

This is global refactoring of LightAPI engine. Interface should be compatible with old versions.

• Added support for 1.14+
• Optimize multi-thread system
• Optimize sending packets

Attention!

1. LightAPI 3.2.8 is for the latest build of spigot 1.13.2 (git-Spigot-140f654-b446cb5) . Update spigot 1.13.2 to the latest build version!
2. Now spigot 1.13.1 and old builds of spigot 1.13.2 is not supported. Use version 3.2.7 with them

Added support for 1.13

Please edit your config.yml and set updater: repo: to Qveshn/LightAPI
This is necessary for correct validation of new versions the next time

Bug: Sometimes plugin with spigot 1.12.2 throws exception IllegalArgumentException on server starts
Fix: Workaround with concurrent calls to definePackage in spigot PluginClassLoader (exception IllegalArgumentException during a call to PluginManager.registerEvents)
Created issue: https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-3734

Edit:
@md_5 has fixed this bug. If you updated your spigot 1.12.2 to last version then you can skip this LigthAPI version and use 3.2.4 X.12.0

There was a little bug when create/remove light above 128 y-coordinate. (usually at 193 and above). There was wrong information for client what parts of chunk must be updated.
I think I fixed it.
It would be nice if somebody will test this
