Per usual, no changes were actually needed to work on 1.17. If you're seeing this in the future, download and give it a shot before asking for an update to a newer version of Minecraft!
I took the time to modernize and improve the build tooling of WorldBorder which has simplified development and improved the ability to contribute. I welcome sensible feature suggestions and contributions!
New Feature:
- Ability to bypass the worldborder via permission "worldborder.allowbypass" as an alternative to the bypass list (thanks @pop4959 and @Prof_Bloodstone)
Bug Fix:
- An incompatibility between Java 8 and Java 9+ was resolved (thanks @pop4959)
All functionality was tested as fully working on 1.17.
