HungerGames

This update brings a few new things along with some bug fixes.

NOTE ON MINECRAFT 26.2 & NBT

NBT-API has not been updated yet, but the current api will work, you just need to set this to true in the HungerGames config:

force-load-nbt-api: true

This will allow NBT stuff to load. But please use with caution.

Requirements:

- Paper (or a fork of) 1.21.11+ - Java 21+

THIS UPDATE ‍:

ADDED:

- Added a confirmation when attempting to delete an arena - Added an option to force load the NBT-API if an unsupported Minecraft version is used - Added an option to add multiple border centres (will randomly pick one to close in on) - Added some config options for player tracking (using the player's tracking bar) <details> <summary>Tracking Config Summary</summary>

## PLAYER TRACKING
player-tracking:
  # How far in blocks players can see each other on the tracking bar
  # Set to -1 to keep default value (whatever the player's current tracking range is)
  # Set to 0 to disable
  distance: 100

  # Represents the color of enemy players
  # Set to 'disable' to keep default color the player is assigned
  # Accepts int color, `#rrggbb` or `r:g:b` (0-255 for r:g:b) formats
  enemy-player-color: '#EB2D07'

  # Represents the color of enemy entities
  # Set to 'disable' to disable

  tracking-stick-uses: 8

  # Minimum number of players required in a game for a tracking stick to work

Welcome back HungerGames!

It's been 4 years since I worked on this plugin... but it's back now!!! This plugin has gone thru a massive rewrite. Most of the changes are internal to clean up old code and make things more efficient.

IMPORTANT:

This is a beta. There is bound to be some bugs.

Please report all issues on the [Issue Tracker](https://github.com/ShaneBeeStudios/HungerGames/issues)

Please see the [Wiki](https://github.com/ShaneBeeStudios/HungerGames/wiki) for setup instructions and config help.

Requirements:

- Paper (or a fork of) 1.21.4+ - Java 21+

Notable changes:

- Complete re-write to the Items/Kits yamls. This includes much easier to write items. - Complete re-write to the Mobs.yml. Not a big change on the yaml side of things but internally it's much nicer. - Rollback has been re-written to better capture block changes.

Things that still need work:

- Chest drops still need some love - Possibility of changing how players TP into the arenas
