Release 6.46.0

Caution

Your configured rewards for winning a match will no longer work if you install this update. You need to reconfigure it using the description in the changes sections. The arena files are compatible but the rewards section is ignored.

Changes

• #494 Replaced reward options with command options. You can now execute commands when a player joins, leaves, wins, looses, ends in draw, scores a goal. Delete your arena_sample.yml to let it get recreated. The file includes examples at the line joinCommands.
• #494 This feature is also very useful to move players to certain permission groups during BlockBall games and remove them after the game. (e.g. only showing them a scoreboard if they are in a certain permission group)
• #494 Removed support for BungeeCord gamemode. These days bigger server use the server software Velocity and a dedicated gamemode is no longer neccessary. You can achieve the same thing with minigame mode.
