2.7.0

🚀 Skript 2.7.0

📢 We are proud to finally say that 2.7.0 is here!

Our last stable release was 2.6.4 nearly a year ago, and a lot has happened since then. In this release, we have implemented over 80 new features along with nearly 70 bug fixes. Beyond that, a significant portion of this time has been spent on overhauling Skript's codebase. This update includes some of the biggest internal enhancements in years. Almost every part of Skript should run faster, and as we continue to build upon these improvements, the benefits will only grow.

We realize that this update has taken much longer than expected. Our development cycle has been rather flawed, and we are committed to making changes that will result in a clearer release schedule. We will have more to share about that soon when we finalize a new process.

🎉 We are also very excited to welcome a new member, @sovdeeth to our team.

Thank you all again for your continued support. Happy Skripting! ⚡

📢 End of 1.12.2 Support

As mentioned in the previous releases, we have decided to drop support for 1.12 and lower (legacy versions).
This means that this version will only work on versions 1.13 and higher.
Only critical fixes will be backported to 2.6.X.

⚠ Compatibility Warning

Due to the major internal changes within this update, some addons may no longer work properly.
Please be patient as addon developers work to update their addons.
We have published a new release of our AddonPatcher, but be aware that it cannot fix all issues.

⚠ Breaking Changes

Scripts in subdirectories will now load before those in the main directory.
List parsing order has changed to function in a clearer manner:

# Here is an example list declaration
set {_l::*} to "abc", length of "def", "ghi"

# Previous Behavior
Interpretation: "abc", length of ("def", "ghi")
Result: "abc", 3, 3
# New Behavior
Interpretation: "abc", length of ("def"), "ghi"
Result: "abc", 3, "ghi"

Removed the expression for obtaining the numerical ID of an item
The durability expression has changed. Durability now works counter to damage. That is, as the damage of an item increases, its durability decreases. Here is an example:

set {_item} to <some item with 1000 durability>
add 5 to the damage of {_item} # durability is now 995/1000
add 5 to the durability of {_item} # durability is now 1000/1000 again

Full changelog

Notable Additions

📃 All new syntax can be viewed on docs.skriptlang.org.

Language support for French, Polish, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese has been added.
We have significantly overhauled the default examples. The goal of these new examples is to display most of Skript's feature set with a better range of difficulties.
Multiline conditionals has been added. These work on an if-then based structure.

Multiline Conditional Example

# all conditions must pass
if:
  condition 1
  condition 2
then:
  do stuff

# at least one condition must pass
if any:
  condition 1
  condition 2
then:
  do stuff

# it can also be used in else-if statements
if 1 + 1 = 3:
  do stuff that will never actually be done
else if:
  condition 1
  condition 2
then:
  do stuff
else:
  do stuff

Local Functions that can only be used in the script that they are declared have been added.

Local Function Example

# in script1.sk
local function welcome():
  broadcast "Welcome!"
  
# in script2.sk
on script load:
  welcome() # this will error as `welcome()` is only available in script1.sk

The Options section has been expanded to support nesting.

Nested Options Example

options:
  price:
    apple: 1000
	orange: 100
# {@price.apple} and {@price.orange} are now valid options

2.7.0-beta3

46770eb

2.7.0-beta3 Pre-release

Pre-release

Skript 2.7.0-beta3

⚠ BETA Release Warning

This is a BETA release, which means it is not yet meant for production servers. It may contain bugs or unexpected behaviors in its current state.
We recommend you extensively test this release on a local server before taking the risk of using it on a production server (if you truly wish to).
We do have many tests in place to ensure the integrity of Skript remains stable to some degree.

⚠ Compatibility Warning

Due to the major API changes within the 2.7.X updates, some addons may no longer work properly. Please be patient as addon developers work to update their addons. We expect to publish a new release of our AddonPatcher in the near future, but be aware that it cannot fix all issues.

📢 End of 1.12.2 Support

Yet again we mention that we have dropped support for 1.12 and lower (legacy versions) since Skript 2.7.
This means that this (and any 2.7.X) version will only work on Minecraft versions 1.13 and higher.
Only critical fixes will be backported to 2.6.X -- Report any if found.

Additions

Implements proper support for serial (Oxford) comma in lists. (Thanks @Mr-Darth)

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue with the random number expression throwing an ArithmeticException when trying to get a random integer between two numbers with the same whole number but a different decimal.
Fixed a bug where Spigot would throw an exception in 1.16+ when a vector of zero attempts to grab blocks with the BlockIterator.
Fixed a bug when using a direction with a number, the ExprBlocks expression would not respect the value. So for example loop blocks 5 above the player would loop blocks between the player and 100 blocks above because that was the max target block distance. It now properly loops 5 blocks. (Details at #5566)
Fixed ExprVectorRandom to be strictly returning vectors with magnitude of 1 (Thanks @DelayedGaming)
Fixed the delete changer on target entity and added a reset changer. (Closes #2695)
Fixed an issue where condition CondIsPreferredTool would return true when provided with null values like an unset variable. (Thanks @Fusezion)
Fixed a bug where variables that weren't involved with default variables of a script would error while having default variables for that script. (Closes #5647)
Fixed the on falling block land: event being called whenever a block turns into a falling block, when it shouldn't. Only when it lands.
On top of this; on falling block falling has been added, so you can now properly get both falling block state events. (Thanks @DelayedGaming)
Fixed logger level color for messages that don't have a node.
Fixed an IllegalArgumentException from being thrown when attempting to serialize a location with a world that is unloaded.
Fixed an issue where the ExprVersionString expression couldn't be used in the 'server list ping' event. (Closes #5597) (Thanks @DelayedGaming)
Fixed an issue where EventValueExpression classes were checking for super classes of the provided type. They now are minimum class level supertype to the type registered. Example being Egg.class was looking for Entity.class when it should have been just Egg or anything that extends Egg. (Closes #5539)
Fixed a bug where an EntityData's details would not be applied before calling the consumer of a section in EffSecSpawn. (Closes #5711)
Fixed some item comparisons for ItemTypes created through type of <itemtype> (Closes #5693)
Fixed a big issue where Skript would not select the correct type enum. For example Skript would parse fire as a visual effect and due to this, it would not be allowed to be used as an entity or a block. (Closes #2711, #4773, #5497, #5557 and #5675)

Removals

Removed id of %itemtypes% Skript has since supported 1.13+ and we don't use ID values anymore.
Remove hidden files from tab complete. Example being .git/ folder displaying in the tab complete when using git for scripts source control. This was extremely annoying for those that have hidden files but don't want them to display in the tab complete.

Changes

In versions previous to this 2.7.0-beta3 version, the syntax (damage[s] [value[s]]|durabilit(y|ies)) of %itemtypes/slots% would treat damage and durability the same. Now durability is how much durability is left on the tool, and damage is how damaged the tool is, so you can get both sides of the slider now rather than them being the same. (Closes #4692).
Deprecated and marked Math2 class as internal, addons should not be using this class. Math2 is an old class that used to be provided to improve some mathematical calculations, but Java's Math class has since gotten better. (Thanks @kiip1)
Clarified the error about left clicking on an entity which should be a damage event. (Thanks @oskarkk)
Improved performance by switching event triggers to be using Multimap instead of Skript's Pair. (Thanks @sovdeeth)
Switched AliasesProvider.materials set implementation from Java SE HashSet to FastUtil ObjectOpenHashSet, which improved Aliases loading time by ~40%. (Thanks @bluelhf)

Skript API (Addon Developers)

Removed the final modifier on PropertyExpressions. This means you can now properly return multiples when isSingle is to return false. (Closes #5521)
Added the ability to register custom VariableStorage classes. API changes coming in the future with #5646 so the API currently is subject to change. API documentation will be written when that pull request is merged.

New Features

Updated to 1.19.4. New entities are added. Aliases automatically generate for the exact name. Human made aliases not ready yet.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where attacker could not be used in some damage events.
Fixed some comparisons that could fail because of the changes in 2.7 to ItemMeta comparison.
Fixed a bug where the item amount changer wouldn't apply when the type was an itemstack. (Thanks @sovdeeth)
Fixed a bug that prevented usage of variables that were not a default variable when using the default variables structure (Closes #5510)
Fixed a bug where the 'raw string' expression would return the formatted string of a non-literal. (Closes #5515)
Gradle will now apply Java 17 to your build when compiling. This means it won't matter what version of Java your machine has, Skript will always be set to Java 17. Ensure you run gradlew clean build when building for the first time. This is due to Paper 1.17+ requiring Java 17. Skript still targets Java 8 (MC versions under 1.17 can still run Java 8), so your contributions should build target Java 8.
Fixed an issue where the existing experience orb experience was not respected when setting the exp value in EffDrop. (Closes #5490) (Thanks @sovdeeth)
Fixed a bug that happens when the entity changer would update the inventory of players even if there were no items involved with the change, causing unexpected behaviors. (Closes #5270)
The second bug happens when trying to remove an inventory with air items from an entity. (Closes #5237 and #5396)

Skript API (Addon developers)

Added debugging and JProfiler to the gradle tasks. Read more at #5299 (Thanks @kiip1)
Fixed an issue where add-ons would have to update to the newly changed converter package move. Added deprecated methods to support add-ons for the meantime.
Fixed an issue where Skript couldn't be built using gradlew build

Aliases

Changed how shulker boxes are handled to now properly point to all boxes.

normal shulker box = that purple undyed box
down facing shulker box = same as above just in a direction
any shulker box = any coloured shulker box including the uncoloured one
all shulker boxes = all shulker boxes and the uncoloured one, no duplicates

Added beetroot
Fixed ores not working
Changed lapis having two s = lapiss to not.

Skript API (Addon developers)

Added a utility class called EnumClassInfo which is targeted at enums, it automatically creates a language node for the enum, a parser, serializer, default expression and usage for the type, which should make it less tedious to make enum classinfos. (thanks @UnderscoreTud)
You can look at BukkitClasses.class for examples, enum classinfos got converted.
Added support for arrays in event values.
Added a new method for registering a property expression where the type is optional to allow for default expression property

+ PropertyExpression#registerDefault(Class<? extends Expression<T>>, Class<T>, String, String);
property [of %types%]
and
%types%'[s] property

The Converters and Comparators systems have been completely rewritten and relocated. The old classes will continue to function but have been deprecated. Please see their javadoc for details on replacement methods.
ScriptLoader has seen major overhauls, along with ParserInstance. Some methods may no longer be available, but most have replacements that can be determined from deprecation javadocs. Please see #4108 for more details. Also feel free to ask questions in any of the Discord guilds linked in our README.
This update adds the Structure API, a way for addon developers to finally create top-level elements (like commands, functions, and more). We are working hard to bring some tutorials to our website, but please feel free to ask any questions in the Discord guilds linked in our README.
SelfRegisteringSkriptEvent has been deprecated now that the Structure API exists (it is essentially a replacement).

⭐️ Thank You

We saw a large increase in new contributors recently, and we just wanted to thank all who have contributed to this version of Skript. Lots of issues and suggestions arise and we could not have made it here without the help of the community.

🎉 Team Changes

@ShaneBeee has decided to leave the SkriptLang team. We are sad to see him go, but we also want to appreciate all of his contributions over the years. This project would not be where it is today without his dedication, and we are forever thankful.

Please welcome @UnderscoreTud to the SkriptLang team! Their recent contributions have helped us deliver this massive update and we look forward to working with them at a closer level.

Full changelog

Additions / Improvements

Updated to Minecraft 1.19 (closes #4850)
- Added support for all new chested boats aside from mangrove. Spigot forgot to include mangrove boats for now, they're currently working on it. (#4834)
- Added support for the new frogs (#4834)
- Added support for the new particles (#4834)
- Note: Goat Horn variations will not work as expected due to a kind-of bug in Bukkit, they will always return Ponder Goat Horn, see #4882
Cleaned up the visual effect area pattern for area particles (#4851)
Added missing event values for crafting events event-inventory & event-itemtype (#4409)
Added tutorials link in /sk info (they are soon to come) (#4838)

Fixes

Fixed Skript crashing on startup for Spigot only in 1.19 (#4849)
Fixed a major issue with UnparsedLiterals, where sometimes things like items would be incorrectly interpreted as something else, causing parsing errors. (#4776 closes #3465, #4769, #4774 and #4841)
Fixed dropping of air causing an error (#4795 closes #4757) (Thanks @TFSMads)
Fixed a locale issue when converting from lower/upper case (#4822 closes #4712 and #4821)
Fixed an issue where if the visual display range was not defined on a visual effect, the range would default to 1 block radius and not 32 (#4843 closes #4806) (Thanks @kiip1)
Fixed an issue where the event-slot of the prepare crafting event would return the incorrect slot. The initial plan was for event-slot to return the result slot when the user has already placed the ingredients in the grid and the result item is being displayed. Use inventory click event for checking the slots the user used in the recipe (#4852 closes #4747) (Thanks @hotpocket184)
Fixes an IllegalArgumentException from happening when attempting to set the player's experience level to a negative number. (#4805 closes #4804)
Fixes a few issues with the title effect (#4362) (Thanks @oskarkk)
Fixed on preparing craft: event not firing at the right time (#4409)
Fixed some Skript command arguments were case sensitive (#4838)
Updated documentation link in /sk info (#4838)
Fixed looping entities in chunks returning wrong amount of actual entities amount (#4608)
Fixed script command named arguments not working as expected (#4796) (Thanks @TFSMads)
Fixed a CCE when using hanging entity expression in non-hanging-events (e.g. breaking a stone) (#4874)

2.6.2

2c0b88b

Cleaning Up 2.6

It's been some time since our last release, but we're finally ready and able to release Skript 2.6.2 today. This version mainly contains bug fixes and improvements, but there are also a few minor additions. For full details, you can check out the update's full changelog below.

I'd also like to welcome our newest team member, @AyhamAl-Ali! They have become a crucial part of this project with their awesome feature and bug patches, but more importantly, their terrific web experience and contributions. The docs have never looked better! I'm truly looking forward to everything they'll continue to offer this project. Thank you again for your contributions!

End of 1.12.2 Support

As mentioned in the previous releases, we have decided to drop support for 1.12 and lower (legacy versions).
This is likely to be the last 2.6.x release, making this the last version to support 1.12 and lower. If necessary, we will backport critical fixes.

Fixes

Fixed an error with the language expression that could occur on legacy versions (#4616) (Thanks @Matocolotoe)
Improved error messages from the new Pattern Compiler (#4546, closes #4541)
Fixed an issue where hex colors didn't parse where they should (#4529, closes #4527) (Thanks @Sorbon-CH)
Fixed a parsing issue where unrelated errors would be mistakenly printed (#4530)
Fixed an issue where the "no scripts found" error mistakenly displayed with a config file line (#4549)
Fixed an issue where parsing could mistakenly fail with literals (#4242, closes #3465)
Fixed a few issues with function parsing, notably issues with default values (#4244, closes #4049)
Fixes to parsing, also fixing the "all armor stands" expression (#4260, closes #2370, #2723, #4239)
Fixed an issue where the enchantment level expression could incorrectly remove enchantments (#4393, closes #4391)
Fixed an issue with block comparisons (#4390, closes #4340)
Fixed an issue with "type of" expression being used with items/blocks (#4405)
Fixed an issue with looping blocks below y=0 (#4647, closes #4645)
Improved the behavior of or in lists (#4545, closes #4543)

Please note that with this change, or lists will no longer always pick a set value, meaning in something like:
set {_x} to 10
set {_y} to {_x} or {_not-set-variable}
{_y} will be set to 10 or set to nothing (whereas it would always be set to 10 before)

Fixed issues with the saturation expression (#4554, closes #4552)

Please note that this change removes the ability to use saturation as a default expression. This breaks scripts that do something like:
on hunger bar change:
    broadcast "%saturation%"

Fixed the player event value in item pickup events (#4615, closes #1322)
Fixed an error that could occur when creating chest inventories (with ExprChestInventory) above the size limit (#4739, closes #4736)
Fixed an error where aliases data was exponentially duplicated during startup (#4649, fixes #4514)
Fixed the clicked enchantment button expression and improved its documentation (#4688, closes #4686)
Fixed an issue with getting the location of a double chest (#4683, closes #4681)

The filter expression no longer accepts single values/expressions (#4395, fixes #4306)

Re-added all to the indices expression (#4551, closes #4547)
Added an expression to get the protocol version of a player (#4569) (Thanks @bilektugrul)
Addon Developers: Skript will now only accept registrations if enabled. This will make it easier for addon developers to tell if they've accidentally included Skript in their plugin jar (#4575)
Added an expression to get the hanging entity and remover in hanging break and place events (#4592, closes #4359, #892)
EffectCommandEvent is now a Bukkit event, meaning plugins and addons can listen for it (#4532, closes #4360)
Fixed an issue where some syntax elements were missing [the] prefixes (#4604)

⭐️ Organization Stuff

End of 1.12 support

After a lot of discussion, we have decided to drop support for 1.12 and lower, as it stops us from adding a lot of features and focusing on other parts of Skript. 2.6.x will be the last version working with 1.12 and lower. Security patches and other kind of fixes might be ported to this version, but keep in mind that features won't be added.

For addon developers

We've switched to a new maven repository for Skript: https://repo.skriptlang.org/releases! Read more about it in #4506.
We've removed the method Parser#getVariableNamePattern, see the full changelog above for more info.
Introducing parse tags, like parse marks but better! Read more about them here.
Added SkriptEvent#getEventClasses so a SkriptEvent has control over which event class the code is parsed with, see #4195).
(same as in 2.6) Due to the merge of #3924, many addons might be broken by this release. If you want to make them compatible, you may use SkriptAddonPatcher or its plugin version.

We're moving!

Another thing to note for addon developers and people who wish to contribute to the project, we have moved the main discussion area to the skUnity discord. While Skript-chat was good enough we need to reflect our rapidly growing community's needs and we will achieve this by taking it to the largest Skript community in place.

This doesn't mean skUnity documentation/forums are handled by the SkriptLang organization as they take part of their own service. We'll still maintain our own documentation at https://skriptlang.github.io/Skript and support any other services such as SkriptHub/Skript-MC to continue taking part of this community!

As always, if you encounter any issues please report them at https://github.com/SkriptLang/Skript/issues.
If you have any ideas or input for the future development of Skript, you can share those too at https://github.com/SkriptLang/Skript/discussions.
