• Updated dependencies

Maintenance Release 1.8 - New Build System

This release switches from Maven to Gradle, the new preferred build system for PaperMC. With that change, we also bumped the required PaperMC API version to 1.19, to make use of some new features (such as included MiniMessage support, logger directly understanding Chat components).

Apart from that, only small changes were made:

• Fixed multiple typos
• Added handling for kills by Potion of Healing (for Zombies and Skeletons)

Release 1.7

Release version 1.7

Remember: The previous release removed compatibility with Spigot, instead this plugin now only targets PaperMC.

Main changes in this version:

• Internal: Lots and lots of quality improvements with the help of Sonarcloud and

Release 1.6

Release version 1.6

This release removed compatibility with Spigot, instead this plugin now only targets PaperMC.
This is due to a move in PaperMC from BungeeCord chat components to Adventure, a modern chat library, which removes the need for a lot of boilercode, especially for Chat hover-actions (like used items).
If actually wanted by anybody, I could add a compatability layer to Adventure, which would allow the use with Bukkit and Spigot.

Main changes in this version:

• Fixed killing spree messages
• Removed unnecessary commands, switched to /tdm as main command (and /mobdeath as alias)
• Breaking: Removed compatibility with Spigot, this plugin is now PaperMC-only
• Rewrote /tdm command to be more user-friendly

Other changes:

• Internal: switched to new config system
• Revamped player config, now with only one value describing the amount of messages a player wants
• Added automatic config-migration to new format (version 3)
• A lot of small, internal code changes and improvements.
