BlockBall v7.41.0 (1.8.9-26.2) (Patreon)

Important

After installing this update and rebooting your server, the ball properties are no longer stored in your arena files.

Executing the /blockball toggle <arena> twice on an arena removes the old properties from your arena files and adds new ones

Previously set ball properties are not converted. If you have changed the ball properties according to your arena size, you need to reconfigure the ball in the plugins/BlockBall/ball/soccer_ball.yml file. Use /blockball reload to see the changed ball.

If you are using different soccer balls for different arenas, you need to create a ball file per arena. Simply copy the default soccer_ball.yml, rename the file, set a new name in the ball file and change the ballNameproperty in your arena file to that name.
