Compatibility & Config Update – 1.20.1+ Support Restored



✨ What's New in v2.5.0?

A compatibility and config update that restores support for older Minecraft versions and adds a new spawn radius option.
Fully compatible with v2.4.2 – no configuration changes required.

✨ v2.5.0 Updates

Broader Version Support

- Restored 1.20.1+ Compatibility – Plugin now works on 1.20.1 and all newer versions including 26.1.x, 26.2.x and beyond

- Previously locked to 26.1.x only – This is now fixed

New Config Option: ignoreYInSpawnRadius

- ignoreYInSpawnRadius: false (default) – Full 3D distance from spawn is used (X/Y/Z)

- ignoreYInSpawnRadius: true – Only horizontal distance (X/Z) is checked, players can fly at any height within the radius

Requirements

- ✅ Java 21+ – Required for all versions

Installation

Upgrading from v2.4.2

1. Download SpawnElytra-2.5.0.jar from the files section

2. Stop your server

3. Replace the old plugin file in your plugins/ folder

4. Start your server

5. ✅ No configuration changes required

Config Note
If ignoreYInSpawnRadius is missing from your existing config, the plugin defaults to false (old behavior). To use it, either:

- Add ignoreYInSpawnRadius: false manually to your config.yml

- Or delete config.yml and let the plugin regenerate it with all options included

Why Update to v2.5.0?

- All Versions Supported – Works on 1.20.1 through 26.2.x and beyond

- New Config Option – Fine-tune the spawn radius height behaviour

- ✅ Easy Upgrade – Drop-in replacement, no config changes needed

- No Breaking Changes – All existing settings carry over
