Welcome to AlchemicalArrows 2! After 7 months of not updating, this plugin needed some heavy-duty rewriting. This update has been a week in development. I literally created a new project and started completely from scratch. Although I'm glad I did this because the API is much more extensive and actually allows add-on developers to create their own arrows. This has been fully documented on the BitBucket page if you are a developer interested in creating your own custom arrow.

Which brings me to my next point. AlchemicalArrows 2 is now OPEN SOURCE! That's right! You heard me! Open source! Rather than being under the All Rights Reserved license, it is now licensed under the General Public License v3, and free for you to view. Developers are now allowed to view source code on the public BitBucket repository, and if they would like to, create a pull request to further improve the project. I would be more than happy for you guys to help me out and make this project even more better. I had a plan for a couple of new arrows, and I may work on those now. If you'd like to help me, please drop by the repository and feel free to make your own arrows. I may add it into the full version if I think it's good enough. (If you make an add-on, please link it to me! I would be extremely happy to see some add-ons for this plugin. Trust me, it's much easier now)

You should note that this version is in the Beta phase! This is AlchemicalArrows 2 BETA-1. ALPHA versions were already been distributed to other people throughout the past week (Thank you to TripleEz and Dingmamon and friends for being my testers), but I thought that it was ready to be public for a little bit. You have to remember that since it's BETA, that means it's not completed and still missing some features. Please read the "known caveats" down below before creating a ticket!!! Now on to the changelog! I hope you enjoy AlchemicalArrows 2
