💥 Breaking changes

This major release doesn't include many notable changes for end users, as it focuses on upgrading MiniMessage for plugin developers.
However, a few long-term issues with messages have been ironed out by the MiniMessage update.
For example, /plot help all is now clickable.

Additionally, support for 1.20 and 1.20.1 has been added,

If you find something not working, compared to v6, please file an issue on the issue tracker: https://github.com/IntellectualSites/PlotSquared/issues/new/choose

Notable changes for developers
PlotSquared v7 makes use of the latest MiniMessage features and syntax. For more information, check the MiniMessage docs: https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html
In v7, various, previously deprecated methods, have been removed in favor of successors, if available.

We published the following resources to provide additional information about the methods changed, to make the upgrade as easy as possible for plugin developers:

• Javadocs: https://intellectualsites.github.io/plotsquared-javadocs/
• An aggregated overview of all API classes and methods, that changed between v6 and v7: https://intellectualsites.github.io/plotsquared-diff/. Select the module required.
• The maven coordinates changed from com.PlotSquared to com.intellectualsites.plotsquared. Additionally, package names are now lowercased.

🐛 Fixes since RC 4

• Fix an issue with plot grants' message template.
