Hello my screamers,

today we are going to release new patch release for our handy bedwars plugin. This release mainly adds support for minecraft 1.17 (and possibly 1.18) and some fixes.

Maybe you are asking: WHERE IS BW 0.3.0 AND ALL THAT NEW FEATURES?
Well, Mojang released the Caves&Cliffs Part 1 too early and we are still not prepared for that. Because we want our plugin to run on Minecraft 1.17, we released this patch. We hope we will be able to publish 0.3.0 later in this summer. Now snapshots of 0.3.0 are NOT prepared for Minecraft 1.17 yet! If you wish to use bw 0.3.0 with MC 1.17, you have to wait!

With future versions (0.3.0+) you won't be able to run our plugin without at least Java 11 (btw for MC 1.17 you need Java 16). Also support for MC 1.8.x will be finally dropped (you won't be able to even start Bedwars on MC 1.8.x anymore)
