Release 7.12.0

Changes

• #592 Added support for team displaynames. Each team has now got a displayName property, which is used in all messages via the new placeholders. Execute the /blockball toggle <game> command twice to transfer the property to your existing arena files. You need to manually add &9Team blue, &cTeam red &fTeam referee to the displayName properties. Many language file messages have been changed, you may want to delete/recreate your language files.

• #602 Added new placeholders to display the current amount of goals, ownGoals and totalGoals during a game.

• #597 Extended the /blockball referee setball command to allow setting absolute coordinates.
• #597 Added the /blockball referee setballrel command to spawn the ball relative to the player position.

Release 7.11.0

Changes

• #577 The ball uses the InteractionEntity now to detect clicks on the ball in Minecraft versions greater or equal to 1.19.4. This hitbox replaces the slime hitbox and fixes all unintended player pushing. You can configure the size of this hitbox using the kickPassHitBoxSize property. You can toggle the hitbox visibility using F3 + B keys ingame.
• #599 Removed the internal dependencies aopalliance, guice and gson. This makes the BlockBall jar file a lot smaller and reduces the memory footprint of the application.
• #599 Reworked the placeholder implementation. The %blockball_lang_bossBarMessage% placeholder does no longer exist. Replace it with "&cTeam Red %blockball_game_redScore% : &9%blockball_game_blueScore% Team Blue" in your arena.yml file.

Bugs/Issues

• #596 Fixed a reloading game issue.
