Full Recode

This is not a normal update and not just another patch.
SG Reborn 3.0.0 is a full-scale recode.

A massive amount of the plugin was rewritten from the ground up to make it:

• faster
• cleaner
• smoother
• more stable
• more modern
• easier to maintain and expand

Old limitations were removed, outdated logic was replaced, and the entire foundation of the plugin was heavily modernized.
This version is designed to feel far more premium in real gameplay and far more reliable in production.

Gameplay, Teams & Leaderboards Rebuilt

A huge part of the internal gameplay flow has been redesigned.

This includes major improvements to:

• core game handling
• match flow and transitions
• team behavior
• general gameplay consistency
• leaderboard systems

The teams system was rebuilt to be much stronger and cleaner internally, and leaderboards were refreshed to provide a more polished and reliable experience overall.

This update touches the heart of the plugin and it shows.

Quests Fully Implemented

One of the biggest highlights of 3.0.0 is the full quest system.

Quests add an entirely new progression layer to SG Reborn and give players:

• clear objectives
• stronger progression
• more replay value
• better long-term engagement
• reward-driven goals beyond simply winning matches

This is a major feature for servers that want a more complete, modern, and retention-focused Survival Games experience.

New Abilities & Kits

3.0.0 also brings major work to abilities and kits.

New abilities have been added to make gameplay more dynamic, more strategic, and more exciting, while kits were expanded and improved to provide more variety and stronger gameplay identity for players.

This helps SG Reborn offer:

• more unique playstyles
• more strategic variety
• more replayability
• more depth in combat and survival
• a more modern and feature-rich gameplay experience

Abilities and kits are a huge part of what makes a Survival Games experience feel fresh, and this update takes them much further than before.

Party System for Teams

We also implemented a party system to make team gameplay much smoother and more natural.

This is a major quality-of-life improvement for:

• friends queueing together
• team-based communities
• modern server expectations
• servers that want a more premium multiplayer experience

It was highly requested, and it is now finally here.

Simple Voice Chat Integration

SG Reborn 3.0.0 now supports Simple Voice Chat integration.

This adds a much more immersive layer to team gameplay and helps servers deliver a more modern and interactive Survival Games experience.

For servers that want to stand out, this is a very powerful addition.

Refreshed UI/UX

A lot of time also went into making the plugin feel significantly better to use.

The overall UI/UX has been refreshed to feel:

• cleaner
• sharper
• more modern
• more premium

This was not just about adding features.
It was about making SG Reborn feel like a high-end, polished product from top to bottom.

Optimization, Stability & Bug Fixes

3.0.0 is also a huge technical upgrade under the hood.

A lot of work went into:

• optimization
• smoothness
• performance
• internal cleanup
• stability improvements

On top of that, we addressed a large number of bugs and issues reported by customers.
Many older pain points were fixed directly, and many others disappeared naturally as part of the rewrite of outdated systems.

This version is not only bigger.
It is significantly stronger.

More Configurable Than Ever

Another major goal of this update was flexibility.

SG Reborn 3.0.0 gives server owners more control, more customization, and more ways to adapt the plugin to their own style and network needs.

The plugin is now more powerful not only for players, but also for administrators.

Final Words

This update took weeks of serious work.
It is easily the most important update SG Reborn has ever received.

3.0.0 pushes the plugin to a completely new level in terms of:

• quality
• depth
• performance
• presentation
• stability
• overall user experience

To everyone who supported the project, reported issues, suggested ideas, and stayed patient during development:
thank you.

A huge amount of effort went into this release.

Hey everyone,
large update just dropped.

- Added support for Citizens and FancyNPCs, now you can create custom npcs for team sizes and kits similar to how it was on Mineplex.
- Added config options for map voting. Now it can be disable and certain map from setup maps can be forced for players.
- Fixed some issue with lobby mode to guard damage from null profiles.
- Leaderboards holos are now autorefreshed when setup.

This version should fully resolve issues with sitting in deathmatch and glitch issues that happened on slabs and other half blocks

This hotfix brings bug fixes to the reported issues by customers:
1) Spectators are still visible and Blank chat line issue is still occurring

2) /stats: wrong displayed name for target player + permission node unclear

3) Deathmatch: Slab teleport causes floating

A few customer reported bugs were fixed:
1) Deathmatch “Specific” mode is bugged
2) DeathmatchRadius and DeathmatchSpawn settings are not saved / not applied

A few customer suggestions were implemented:
1) messages.yml: Empty string ('') still sends blank chat line
2) MCSG-type end-game fireworks

I also made deathmatch spawns use deterministic unique fill. So you can never spawn in the same location like other player

Hey guys, in this update I fixed some issues reported by customers and further improved database systems. Current mongo implementation should easily support 1000+ players concurrently.

Fixed hikari critical issue that happened due to bad relocation
Removed proxy-support entry in config
Fixed critical achievements error that caused it to not work
Some other errors that have been resolved

Important bugfix with mysql and mariadb was fixed because of bad driver implementation. This fix should offer stable mysql implementation ready for production!

Fixed a few issues that happened on legacy versions. Reported by a customer.

Implemented new /sg command for lobby mode as well.

Today I bring you the 2.7 update of SGReborn. It's quite a large update with lots of new additions, new features, improvements and bug fixes. I will write some of them here, the most noticable ones.

- Database agnostic system. Before SGReborn could only function with Mongo. In this update I bring you MySQL/MariaDB, JSON support and of course Mongo if you want to say with mongo.
- Cross Server Communication system also gets an update where cross-server communication is now possible not only with redis but also with mysql/mariadb, mongo and redis. Of course I still highly recommend doing it with Redis for performance gains.
- Scenarios are now fully implemented with voting guis and setup menus.
- Improved the profiling system, boosters, leaderboards and seasons. They now work much better and work nicely with all databases.
- Sitting on spawns is now working properly across all versions.
- Improved match history logic to fetch data faster and require less resources!
- Fully configurable air drops and coin drops locations in /map command. If not setup it falls back to random location from previous implementation.
- Hardened proxy bridges for Velocity and Bungee!
- Refined boss bar updates.

- Numerous bug fixes and improvements that I forgot to mention.

I mentioned the most important changes, but lots of work went into this update. And thanks to the testers on my discord support server. Without you, this update would be much harder to test out properly.

New patch dropped.
I fixed issues with proxies and velocity/bungee channeling. Plugin is now working correctly on spigot, bungee and velocity. If you're using plugin for this feature you need to enable proxy-support in config on all backend servers.

Improved lobby practice cuboid initialization.

Fixed some error with vaultbridge when vault isn't installed.

/playsgwithme command is now fixed and working properly.

Some other improvements to the cross server compatibility.

There's an issue with velocity messaging, while I find the fix I've implemented custom command execute that you can perform instead of relying on plugin messaging.

Some more improvements to the internal code. Made some possible sync functions async.

New improvements to the cross server communication specifically redis module. It's faster now.
Improvements to the GUIs.
New /sglobby command for lobby server mode.
Some other changes.

Scenarios have been fully implemented! Browse 20 different scenarios and let your players vote for them in the game like they would with maps!

Bug fixes and improvements:
- Smoothed out the sitting and fixed occasional bug that would sometimes block player in place.
- Improved velocity and bungee additions to the plugin
- Improved corpses and their logic
- Improved chunk loading logic and added nice actionbar indicator
- Updated XSeries for 1.21.10

Implemented better pregame/late join flow that should support all current sg reborn systems without causing the game to bug out

Implemented better map world logic that checks if map world folder exists before registering the map from maps.yml

Made bossbar much more configurable

Pushed a hotfix for player sit system that would sometimes malfunction on modern versions

Fixed issues with bossbar on 1.8.8 causing some players to see wither effects

Fixed issue with stats not processing placeholders properly

Fixed issue with hover behavior on 1.8.8

Fixed issue with ImmutableMap usage on 1.8.8

Some other fixes

SGReborn 2.5.0 — Major Update: Lobby/Game Split, New GUIs, Redis/Mongo Sync, Achievements & Optimizations

Hey folks! Dropping a huge update here with a clean split between Lobby and Game servers, slick new GUIs, better cross-server sync, and a ton of player-friendly tweaks. Your feedback drove a lot of this—thanks for that!

Server Roles: Lobby vs. Game
Split server roles to keep lobbies fast and games in charge of data:

Why? Cleaner separation means fewer race conditions and safer DB writes.

New Game Selector GUI (Super Configurable)
Fancy new GUI for picking games, with all the bells and whistles:

Cross-Server Sync: Redis or Mongo
Pick your backend for seamless server communication:

New /sg Command
Simple, player-friendly command for lobby use:

Note: Permissions match your existing setup. Don’t want these commands? Skip registering them and use your own menus/NPCs to open the GUIs.

New Achievements (Toggleable)
Bunch of new achievements—enable whichever you like in the config:

Fixes & Optimizations
Squashed bugs and boosted performance:

Thanks for sticking with SGReborn!

Fixed a bug with players instantly dying on map teleport on some maps.

Added new config options to completely disable built in chat system.

Just a quick hotfix caused some errors when parsing regular color codes because of the new minimessage support system

Added support for newest versions released by spigot

Small update, I've added support for MiniMessage and hex support for all config options (messages.yml, scoreboard.yml, config.yml and kits.yml).

Made some improvements to the general code
Improvements to the sitting behavior (packet entities are now invisible)
Updated all libraries to latest version

A few bugs were fixed:

- Issue with season system causing ClassCastException error and blocking the plugin from loading properly.
- Issue with lunar client apollo api not loading properly for people who don't have it installed.
- Issue with world copying system using NIO that sometimes caused worlds to become corrupted.

After countless hours of development and community testing, we are proud to deliver this comprehensive update. Enjoy SGReborn 2.0 and all its new enhancements!

Added a new system that will allow you to execute any commands from console when a killer kill a victim. When a game starts. When a deathmatch starts. When a player wins a game.

For elimination you can use built in placeholder (%killer% & %victim)
For win, deathmatch and start you can use %player% placeholder to get all players for that event.

I also fixed some issue with xmaterial.

Just a simple hotfix for items not loading properly due to the new XMaterial system on 1.8.8

Hey guys,

in this update I added a lot more configurable messages for new systems (air drop, elo). It's what customer requested.

Fixed the bug with cross version compatibility and packet rabbit entity not working properly on 1.8.8. Fixed it with some reflection magic. And block breaking/placing bug using material id instead of names on 1.8.8 version. Now we're incorporating XMaterial that should allow for cross versions compatibility of materials.

I've removed some obsolete dependencies and reduces the file size quite a bit.

In case you're using the plugin on 1.8.8 I'd recommend regenerating config since a lot of things have changed internally.

Bug fixes around the new boss and air drop system

All the features are toggleable in the config, so if you don't like them simply turn them off.

New animated titles when the game starts, lmk if you like them

Customers requested, I delievered. New ELO system is here. Also the assist system and new sg sub commands where you can change state of you match.
Also new api events!

Added a few new placeholders for users, extended the API for more extensive usage and fixed a few bugs that customers encountered.

Fied a few things around BlockState and /sg replacer command where the correct rotation of ender chests wasn't saved for chests
and some other things.

New Discord webhooks and base for achievement system.

In this update I've added webhooks (which are disabled by default), but can be enabled in the config.
Current webhooks offer 2 different events, onGameStart and onGameEnd.
You can modify both to your liking.
I've also optimized various parts of the plugin to be less resource intensive.
Fixed the /sgreborn reload command so it actually works and load changes directly from the config without the need of restarting the plugin.

Added Chest Holograms (they requires Decent Holograms plugin as dependency.)
They can be toggled on and off in the config.

Fixed an issue with mysql not updating properly due to added async functions.

Bug with mysql with modern drivers fixed.
Fixed a bug where killer didn't receive extra points.
Bug with color codes fixed.
Forgot to shade XSeries into the plugin.
Any other bug? Report them in discord server

Bug with mysql with modern drivers fixed.
Fixed a bug where killer didn't receive extra points.
Bug with color codes fixed.
Any other bug? Report them in discord server

My apologies, I've uploaded the past version of the plugin.

Added full support for PlaceholderAPI and Vault. Including both receiving papi placeholders in messages and placeholders you can use in other plugins from SG:Reborn. Vault support is also added and now you can use points for whatever you'd like them to use.
Also big update is on the way that includes completely changing disguise system and introducing new elo and leveling system which can be turned on and off depending on the server owner!

Quick fix for Vault and PlaceholderAPI

Buyer reported a bug that occurs when using common deathmatch. It happens when index is out of bounds (if more players are entering the common dm than there are setup locations for common dm spawns).
I've made a simple hotfix so players are teleported to the same locations of previous players if there are too many players joining the dm.

Got any other bug reports or suggestions? Join our dev discord and the staff will quickly assist you.

Hello everyone,
in this update some things were changed:

1. Code optimization.
2. Added kill/win precentages instead of the the old system that used random between two integer values. This system can be configured in the config and resembles MCSG better.
Recommended config options (add this under misc config block):

Win precentage uses the system that combines points of all players that have played that game at the start and then rewards the precentage of that points to the winner.

That's all, if you have any other suggestions leave them in the discord

Plugin now works on all supported versions.
Currently 1.8- 1.19.4

1.) New Cross Version support is here!
This update was tested on latest version of Spigot (1.19.2). If any problems occur, be sure to report them on my discord support server.

2.) Base for leveling system!

Fixed a few bugs:
1.) In some cases deathmatch didn't start if spectator joined the existing game.

2.) Players could join over max player count in some occasions.
