Hey everyone - it’s that time again!

New Recommended Build 7.2.2 for SpongeForge and SpongeVanilla

We have just released a new recommended build of SpongeForge and SpongeVanilla! Version 7.2.2 is now available for your general usage. We have made one significant change that might affect you if you use a MySQL or MariaDB database.

Updated MariaDB Connector to v2.6.0

We have updated our MariaDB Connector from v2.0.3 to v2.6.0. This is to allow servers to use MySQL 8.0.3+ without having to make it act like a MySQL 5.x server. While we expect there to be no impact on the vast majority of servers and plugins (especially if you use our SQL Service), there has been a minor change that can break code that relies on the name of the driver.

Server Owners

We advise that if you use MySQL or MariaDB databases with your plugins that you throughly test the upgrade and that you backup beforehand. We do say this every time, but it is especially important this time.

Plugin Developers

If you rely on the name of the driver or database type, you will need to update your plugins to account for the changes noted in the links above.

Other changes

  • Fixed issues with inventory querying
  • Rewrote the entity collisions module to resolve issues not involving entity collisions
  • Fixed command functions not executing via command blocks when explict permissions were not set
  • Fixes entities being unable to pick up items after being unvanished
  • Fire SpawnEntityEvent then LaunchProjectileEvent for Projectiles
  • Cancelling Forge’s LivingHurtEvent is now respected by Sponge
  • Fixed Some Sponge data not being persisted when no custom data is present on an entity
  • Added extra check when saving level_sponge.dat to ensure that the file is being saved correctly
  • Lots of performance and memory improvements
