@groundbreakingmc groundbreakingmc released this 23 May 09:26

⚠️ Breaking change: the configuration format has been completely reworked and is incompatible with previous versions. Please delete your existing config and reconfigure the plugin using the updated documentation.


What's changed

Dual renderer — support for all client versions

Added a Scoreboard Teams renderer for clients below 1.19.4. The plugin automatically selects the appropriate renderer per viewer: Text Display for 1.19.4+ clients, Scoreboard Teams for older ones.

TAB compatibility

ModernTags now manages Scoreboard Teams internally, eliminating the need to disable TAB's nametag handling.

Tags in separate files

Tags are now defined in dedicated files referenced from config.yml, each optionally containing both modern and legacy sections.

Condition system

Replaced the moderntags.tag.<name> permission model with owner-conditions and viewer-conditions — arbitrary expressions evaluated per owner and per viewer respectively.

Viewer-aware placeholders

Placeholder syntax updated from <placeholder:key> to {owner:key} / {viewer:key}, enabling per-viewer tag content.

Sneak dimming

Tags now dim when the owner is sneaking on 1.19.4+ clients, consistent with vanilla behavior.

Permission changes

Removed moderntags.tag.<name> and moderntags.see.other. Tag selection is now fully driven by the condition system.
