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.

Changes

• #527 The ball now bounces off walls and players in a more realistic way.
• #527 The ball can be configured to allow grabbing and throwing. A sample ball called hand_ball.yml is included in the plugins/BlockBall/ball folder.

• #527 A sample ball called curve_soccer_ball.yml is available to see how to configure such interactions.
• #527 The developer api has changed. You can now spawn balls outside of games and use it for other minigames or purposes on your server.

Changes

• #680 Added throw-ins, corner kicks and goal kicks to BlockBall. This means you can now optionally disable the ball forcefield to automatically trigger a throw-in, corner kick or goal kick when a ball is shot outside of the field. It can be enabled for all game types (hub-game, mini-game, referee-game). Take a look at the updated wiki page The throw-in is a standard "kick" for now because BlockBall does not have any implemented throwing mechanism yet. It is planned for a future update.
• #680 Updated the design of blockball.shynixn.com.
