Bukkit

3.5

- Add KCauldron support (Thank you, tpnils1!) - Add setParticleRange method to set default particle visibility range - Particles now use the "long range" flag when range is greater that 16 blocks - The old range of 256 seemed way too high, particles appear to vanish after 16 blocks if not long-range - Add generalized parameter support for Configuration-driven effects You can put variable names that start with "$" in the configuration, e.g. "$radius" Then when starting an effect, you can set $radius to a value in the parameterMap to automatically replace the variables in the config. - Add a DynamicLocation class to encapsulate an Entity or Location. This can be used to create a virtual entity, by controlling the location while the effect is runnning.
