3.0.0 Breaking 2026-10

• AlphaEvent is now a multi-event engine. Text moved to lang/, the Spleef settings to events/spleef.yml and the arena to arenas/spleef/main.yml. The first start converts everything and keeps your 2.x files in backup/2.x/. Message, menu and boss bar edits are not merged. See Upgrading.
• The colours are now the pink AlphaStudio theme instead of gold, and body text is white.
• Spleef players can no longer hit each other unless pvp: true is set in events/spleef.yml.
• %alphaevent_type% returns the plain event name (Spleef, TNT Run, ...).

• Eight more elimination events: TNT Run, Sumo, Red Light, Green Light, Glass Bridge, Color Match, Anvil Rain, Lava Rise and Hot Potato. Spleef gains snowball and bow modes and an optional round time.
• Several arenas per event, a selection-based setup (/aevent select), /aevent check, events, arenas, delarena, region, point, addpoint, removepoint, points and an event menu on /aevent.
• Rewards by console command, a settings file per event, and an update notice for operators.
• Placeholders event, event_id, arena, time and score.
• New keys from a newer jar are merged into your files, with comments, on start.

• The &f and &8 colour codes were printed literally; item names and lore no longer render in italics.
• The Spleef floor-block list and shovel rule could be bypassed by another listener; the game now decides what can be broken.
• Teleporting out of the arena (a pearl or a command) now eliminates, like walking out.
• WorldGuard flags opened for a round are put back to their previous value instead of being forced to deny.
• protection.lobby.prevent-building, prevent-breaking and spectator.teleport-to-alive-on-elimination now do what they say.
• Arenas in worlds that load after the server starts are picked up when the world loads.

2.0.0 Breaking

• The plugin now reports to the AlphaStudio panel and a new server stays disabled until it is approved. See Server approval.

• A panel: section in config.yml with api-url and check-interval-minutes.

1.0.0 2026-06

• Multi-round Spleef with a full state machine: announce, join, waiting, round countdown, active round and results.
• Arena and lobby as WorldGuard regions, in-game spawn setup, automatic block restoration after each round.
• Join and spectate menu, five boss bars, title and action bar countdowns, points per placement.
• Lobby and arena protection rules, an alphaevent.bypass permission, and 25 PlaceholderAPI placeholders.
• Console startup banner matching the other AlphaStudio plugins.

• Colours use the shared &#RRGGBB hex pipeline with gradient upgrades, and the default theme moved to the Alpha-system gold gradient.
• The join menu no longer has a decorative border.
• Text that used to be written into the code now lives in messages.yml.

• Player health is restored correctly across Bukkit versions that name the max health attribute differently.
