In reply to Urban_Professional:

 Thank you!

I haven't looked into the code for a while, but I don't think this is easily possible: The lobby and paintball match always clear the player's inventory and replace it with their own contents. I don't think there is an option to bypass this clearing.

You could maybe, via a separate plugin, inject the item into the player's inventory after they have joined the lobby / match. However, this is tricky as well, because during respawns inside the match the player's inventory may get reset again, and there is no easy way to react to those respawns.

If you are able to write a custom plugin (or if such a plugin already exists, however, I am not aware of one; maybe one of the available scripting plugins are able to do this as well): You could react to player teleports, or to the player entering specific regions of the world, or periodically, and then check if they have they already have the item in their inventory, and if not, add it.
This would be quite a hack though, but there is nothing built-in that would enable this, as far as I can see and remember.

Another option that might be easier to implement would be to react to interactions with the team item and use that to trigger the leaving.

Regarding placeholders: I don't think this is possible either. The plugin is quite old already and due to limited time available, I am currently no longer working on new features but only keeping it somewhat working from time to time.

 I haven't tried it yet, but if there are specific problems with the latest version on 1.18, the please report those.

v1.5.4 for MC 1.16.5, 1.15, 1.14.2+

• Removed the outdated TagAPI dependency. The player nametag related features are non-functional currently, but they were not really usable before either.

• Fixed some plugin reload issues.

  • Plugin reloads resulted in a (harmless) warning due to the plugin class loader not being registered anymore during plugin enable.

  • Some recent versions of Paper seem to have issues with the plugin not being able to find resources anymore after the reload.

  • These issues are resolved by no longer performing a real reload of the plugin through Bukkit's PluginManager. Instead, we only invoke our own disable and enable routines.

v1.5.3 for MC 1.16.1, 1.15, 1.14.2+

• Fixed: Egg hatching for grenades was no longer getting cancelled since MC 1.16.
• Fixed: The final airstrike marker was not getting removed during plugin disable.
• Fixed: When not targeting any block while having the airstrike or orbital strike selected, this would cause client side lag. Reducing the max range of the airstrike and orbital strike marker to 120 blocks and only placing it when actually targeting a block has resolved this issue. However, players need to target a block to call in the airstrike or orbital strike now (they can no longer look into the sky to order them).
• Minor internal improvements.

v1.5.2 for MC 1.16.1, 1.15, 1.14.2+

• No changes. The previous version was uploaded with the wrong version number internally. This update should fix the update notifications

In reply to Daycarejr:

 You might be using v1.5.0 (the latest 'release'), but there is a newer v1.5.1 ('beta'). The update check does not differentiate between releases, betas, alphas etc.

In reply to blablubb:

 Actually, I just noticed that the update v1.5.1 was still using the version number v1.5.0 internally.

v1.5.1 for MC 1.16.1, 1.15, 1.14.2+

Marked as 'beta' since this build has not been tested much yet. If you encounter any major issues, let me know

• Updated for 1.16.1.

• Fixed: We ignore LEFT_CLICK_AIR interactions now. Since MC 1.15 we receive interact events with action LEFT_CLICK_AIR under various new situations, not just when the player actually left clicks, but also whenever the player interacts with something or performs some action such as dropping an item.
  We previously reacted to these interaction events and triggered actions such as launching paintballs. This has lead to the situation that a single right click actually launched two paintballs, and other actions such as dropping an item also launched a paintball.
  Since we cannot easily differentiate between the various actions that lead to this LEFT_CLICK_AIR interaction event and a regular left click, we ignore all left clicks now. I.e. it is no longer possible to shoot paintballs with left click.
  The sniper previously used the left click action to toggle between the zooming and non-zooming state. This has been changed and is toggled by sneaking now.

• Fixed: Paintball hits were no longer getting detected. Since MC 1.16 the ProjectileHitEvent is called before the EntityDamageByEntityEvent. We previously used the ProjectileHitEvent to trigger cleanup of the paintball object. Since the paintball object got cleaned up before handling the entity damage event for the corresponding snowball hit, the snowball from the entity damage event got no longer associated with a corresponding paintball and no hit got detected.
  The ProjectileHitEvent provides the hit entity now (this has not been the case originally). We can therefore handle the paintball hit as part of the projectile hit event handler now and thereby avoid this issue.

• Fixed: Since MC 1.16 the movement speed inside the lobby and game is increased. Since MC 1.16 the walk speed is determined by both the player's walk speed value and the movement speed attribute.
  Our code for resetting the attributes to their default values is flawed (there is currently no API to retrieve the player-specific default attribute values). This results in the players having an increased walking speed. To resolve this for now, we always explicitly reset the walk speed. This will then also automatically update the movement speed attribute accordingly.

• Fixed: Splash potions can be thrown now. However, the conversion from legacy damage values to potion types might be broken now, so the shop can likely not be used to give players these potions.

• Changed: We load all plugin classes up front now. This helps with plugin reloads when the plugin jar got replaced.

In reply to scamander1983:

 I think I tried it once while testing this update and it worked fine there.

In reply to scamander1983:

 I can look into it in a few days maybe.

In reply to scamander1983:

 I think being able to kill players by hand is intended. If I remember correctly there is a setting inside the config to configure 'melee attacks'.

I uploaded an update v1.5.1 which should fix the walk speed issue and the paintball hits not getting detected. I also made a few other minor improvements.
I did not test this much yet, so if you encounter any other issues let me know.
