This update contains 2 major changes:
- Unlimited nametag mode feature and bossbar for 1.8 (which used wither entity) got removed from the plugin as previously announced here.
- On Velocity, the plugin no longer uses bridge plugin to send scoreboard packets. Instead, a new plugin called VelocityScoreboardAPI was created, which will do this job much better with a much better performance.
- If you are using TAB-Bridge with TAB on proxy, update bridge to version 6.0.0.
- Fixed an exploit on Velocity
- Fixed error
As MC 1.21.2 is approaching, this is the final update for 4.x branch. From now on, only 5.x versions will be released, which will no longer have unlimited nametag mode and bossbar for 1.8 servers. This was originally planned to come with MC 1.22 rather than 1.21.2, however, Mojang has decided to rework entity packets in 1.21.2 and I don't see the point in adding support for it just to remove the whole feature soon after. In case you missed it, here is the original (now updated) announcement: https://gist.github.com/NEZNAMY/f4cabf2fd9251a836b5eb877720dee5c
Added 1.21 support. Unlimited nametag mode feature has now been marked for removal for the future. Read more about it and discuss it at https://gist.github.com/NEZNAMY/f4cabf2fd9251a836b5eb877720dee5c
Added support for latest BungeeCord.
Please note that the latest changes introduced a packet encoding bug in features TAB offers that causes <1.13 players to be disconnected immediately on join. This bug is inherited by forks as well, including Waterfall and possibly further forks as well. Considering the bungee update didn't add anything meaningful other than support for some 1.20.3 snapshot, it is better to stay on an older version (BungeeCord #1759 or lower, Waterfall #548 or lower) until this is fixed in BungeeCord. Disabling the plugin for <1.13 players to avoid the disconnect would be a bad solution for many reasons.
