🚀 New Features

🔌 Extended Developer API

    .disableMessaging()
    .build();
  • Global Messaging Control - Master switch to silence all MatrixGliders messages 
    api.setGlobalMessagingDisabled(true);
  • Update Checker Control - API method to disable update notifications 
    api.setUpdateCheckingDisabled(true);

🎮 Gliding Improvements

v3.0.0

🚀 Major Update

This release focuses on stability, compatibility, and developer experience. We've completely overhauled the gliding system to provide a smoother, more reliable flight experience.

✨ New Features

🔌 Developer API Improvements

  • New Builder Pattern API - External plugins can now configure MatrixGliders with a clean, fluent interface
  • Message Control - Developers can now suppress all MatrixGliders messages when integrating with their own plugins
  • Better Event System - Added new causes for tracking why gliding ends (death, world change, gamemode change, etc.)

🛡️ Better Error Handling

  • Friendly Dependency Messages - If PlaceholderAPI is missing, you'll see a clear, formatted message instead of confusing error traces
  • Graceful Shutdown - Plugin now disables itself cleanly when dependencies are missing

🔧 Improvements

🎮 Gliding Experience

  • Smoother Movement - Completely reworked gliding physics for more natural flight
  • Better Teleportation Support - Players can now teleport while gliding without any issues
  • Seamless World Changes - Gliding properly stops when changing worlds
  • Vehicle Compatibility - Entering boats, minecarts, or riding horses now properly ends gliding

🌊 Better Detection

  • Waterlogged Block Support - Gliding now correctly stops when entering waterlogged blocks (slabs, stairs, etc.)
  • Improved Landing Detection - More reliable ground and liquid detection

🔄 Automatic Cleanup

  • Death Handling - Gliding properly stops when player dies
  • Respawn Safety - Clean state on respawn
  • Disconnect Cleanup - No more orphaned visual gliders when players disconnect
  • Server Reload Safety - All gliding players are cleaned up on plugin reload/restart

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed players not actually starting to glide on Paper 1.21.9+

  • Fixed visual glider (armor stand) sometimes staying after gliding ends
  • Fixed jerky/unnatural movement during flight
  • Fixed gliding continuing in restricted situations
  • Fixed potential memory leaks from player tracking
