26.2 — 24/06/2026

Added

• MC-MrBirdy added as co-author for ongoing contributions across multiple releases.
• New version numbering: aligned with Minecraft's new YY.D.H system (Year.Drop.Hotfix).
• Per-track broadcast mode: racing.broadcast-mode accepts global or racers, overridable per track. Contributed by @MC-MrBirdy in #5.
• Per-track lobby configuration: lobby settings can now be set per track for dedicated lobbies. Contributed by @MC-MrBirdy in #5.
• Per-track rewards configuration: rewards can now be overridden per track. Contributed by @MC-MrBirdy in #5.
• Admin -p: target flag: admins/console can target other players for commands by appending -p:<player>. Contributed by @MC-MrBirdy in #5.
• Start lights wand UX: Shift+Left Click a Redstone Lamp with the wand to add it as a start light, Shift+Right Click to remove. Lamp lights up with green particles on add, smoke on remove. Wand lore shows light instructions in all 15 languages.
• Restart command: /boatracing race restart [track] stops any running race, re-opens registration, re-joins previous participants, and force-starts. Auto-detects track if sender is in an active race. Permission: boatracing.race.admin or boatracing.setup.
• Per-track registration time: registration-seconds can now be set per track via /boatracing setup setregtime <seconds>. Configurable in the setup wizard as step 8/8. Displayed in setup show. Reported by @supershootstudions-lgtm in #6.
• Clearlobby command: /boatracing setup clearlobby disables the registration lobby for the current track.
• Debug logging levels: set debug in config.yml to "off" (default), "severe", "warning", "info", "fine", "finer", or "finest". Controls console log verbosity. Also applies on /boatracing reload.
