Just a small hotfix that fixes minimessage type messages in different configs.

SGReborn 2.5.0 — Major Update: Lobby/Game Split, New GUIs, Redis/Mongo Sync, Achievements & Optimizations

Hey folks! Dropping a huge update here with a clean split between Lobby and Game servers, slick new GUIs, better cross-server sync, and a ton of player-friendly tweaks. Your feedback drove a lot of this—thanks for that!

Server Roles: Lobby vs. Game
Split server roles to keep lobbies fast and games in charge of data:

Why? Cleaner separation means fewer race conditions and safer DB writes.

New Game Selector GUI (Super Configurable)
Fancy new GUI for picking games, with all the bells and whistles:

Cross-Server Sync: Redis or Mongo
Pick your backend for seamless server communication:

New /sg Command
Simple, player-friendly command for lobby use:

Note: Permissions match your existing setup. Don’t want these commands? Skip registering them and use your own menus/NPCs to open the GUIs.

New Achievements (Toggleable)
Bunch of new achievements—enable whichever you like in the config:

Fixes & Optimizations
Squashed bugs and boosted performance:

Thanks for sticking with SGReborn!

Fixed a bug with players instantly dying on map teleport on some maps.

Added new config options to completely disable built in chat system.

Just a quick hotfix caused some errors when parsing regular color codes because of the new minimessage support system

Made some improvements to the general code
Improvements to the sitting behavior (packet entities are now invisible)

After countless hours of development and community testing, we are proud to deliver this comprehensive update. Enjoy SGReborn 2.0 and all its new enhancements!

Added a new system that will allow you to execute any commands from console when a killer kill a victim. When a game starts. When a deathmatch starts. When a player wins a game.

For elimination you can use built in placeholder (%killer% & %victim)
For win, deathmatch and start you can use %player% placeholder to get all players for that event.

I also fixed some issue with xmaterial.

Just a simple hotfix for items not loading properly due to the new XMaterial system on 1.8.8

Hey guys,

in this update I added a lot more configurable messages for new systems (air drop, elo). It's what customer requested.

Fixed the bug with cross version compatibility and packet rabbit entity not working properly on 1.8.8. Fixed it with some reflection magic. And block breaking/placing bug using material id instead of names on 1.8.8 version. Now we're incorporating XMaterial that should allow for cross versions compatibility of materials.

I've removed some obsolete dependencies and reduces the file size quite a bit.

In case you're using the plugin on 1.8.8 I'd recommend regenerating config since a lot of things have changed internally.

All the features are toggleable in the config, so if you don't like them simply turn them off.

Thank you for your time and have a good day!

New animated titles when the game starts, lmk if you like them

Customers requested, I delievered. New ELO system is here. Also the assist system and new sg sub commands where you can change state of you match.
Also new api events!

Added a few new placeholders for users, extended the API for more extensive usage and fixed a few bugs that customers encountered.

Fied a few things around BlockState and /sg replacer command where the correct rotation of ender chests wasn't saved for chests
and some other things.

New Discord webhooks and base for achievement system.

In this update I've added webhooks (which are disabled by default), but can be enabled in the config.
Current webhooks offer 2 different events, onGameStart and onGameEnd.
You can modify both to your liking.
I've also optimized various parts of the plugin to be less resource intensive.
Fixed the /sgreborn reload command so it actually works and load changes directly from the config without the need of restarting the plugin.

Added Chest Holograms (they requires Decent Holograms plugin as dependency.)
They can be toggled on and off in the config.

Fixed an issue with mysql not updating properly due to added async functions.

Bug with mysql with modern drivers fixed.
Fixed a bug where killer didn't receive extra points.
Bug with color codes fixed.
Forgot to shade XSeries into the plugin.
Any other bug? Report them in discord server

My apologies, I've uploaded the past version of the plugin.

Added full support for PlaceholderAPI and Vault. Including both receiving papi placeholders in messages and placeholders you can use in other plugins from SG:Reborn. Vault support is also added and now you can use points for whatever you'd like them to use.
Also big update is on the way that includes completely changing disguise system and introducing new elo and leveling system which can be turned on and off depending on the server owner!

Quick fix for Vault and PlaceholderAPI

Buyer reported a bug that occurs when using common deathmatch. It happens when index is out of bounds (if more players are entering the common dm than there are setup locations for common dm spawns).
I've made a simple hotfix so players are teleported to the same locations of previous players if there are too many players joining the dm.

Hello everyone,
in this update some things were changed:

1. Code optimization.
2. Added kill/win precentages instead of the the old system that used random between two integer values. This system can be configured in the config and resembles MCSG better.
Recommended config options (add this under misc config block):

Win precentage uses the system that combines points of all players that have played that game at the start and then rewards the precentage of that points to the winner.

That's all, if you have any other suggestions leave them in the discord

Plugin now works on all supported versions.
Currently 1.8- 1.19.4

1.) New Cross Version support is here!
This update was tested on latest version of Spigot (1.19.2). If any problems occur, be sure to report them on my discord support server.

2.) Base for leveling system!

Fixed a few bugs:
1.) In some cases deathmatch didn't start if spectator joined the existing game.

2.) Players could join over max player count in some occasions.
