Update 4.0.0-RC11 - Blizzard

We are pleased to announce the eleventh release candidate for CloudNet 4.0. This release includes fixes for reported issues and some improvements. We urge all users to install the update, as we will no longer provide support for RC10. Users who want to switch from 3.4.X to 4.0 can find instructions in the release information for RC1.

Please also see the changelog for RC6, this contains the detailed information about the switch to Dependency Injection in the API.

Cheers!
(Please remember, CloudNet is provided as-is - we are not responsible for data loss or corruption. You are encouraged to back up your files before any updates!)

Upgrading

Due to some changes the upgrading step is a bit more complicated this time.

• CloudNet requires JDK 23 everywhere now.
• Velocity 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT is required now.

After installing JDK 23 download the CloudNet.zip and replace your launcher.jar with the one from the archive.

As announced the CloudPerms module and thus the SimpleNameTags and Chat plugins are not available anymore. Please delete the CloudPerms module before starting.

Changelog

Dependencies

artifact id	usage
driver	When developing plugins or modules, available on all platforms.
node	When developing a module which needs more specific access to node functions than the driver can offer.
wrapper-jvm	When developing plugins which need some more specific access to the service api than the driver can offer.
bridge	When trying to catch player events and/or interacting with players regardless where they are on the network.
bom	When you want to import all dependencies with the same version based on the imported bill of materials.

To add the CloudNet dependency using gradle:

repositories {
  // ensure maven central is added
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  // optional - you can also specify versions directly
  implementation platform('eu.cloudnetservice.cloudnet:bom:4.0.0-RC11')
  compileOnly 'eu.cloudnetservice.cloudnet:driver'

  // without bom
  compileOnly 'eu.cloudnetservice.cloudnet:driver:4.0.0-RC11'
}

To add the CloudNet dependency using maven:

<!-- optional - you can also specify versions directly -->
<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>eu.cloudnetservice.cloudnet</groupId>
      <artifactId>bom</artifactId>
      <version>4.0.0-RC11</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>eu.cloudnetservice.cloudnet</groupId>
    <artifactId>driver</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.0-RC11</version> <!-- only needed when bom is not used -->
    <scope>provided</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

I guess there is a typo in the release notes:

--- Limbo Minecraft servers are not supported 
+++ Limbo Minecraft servers are now supported
