Waystones

🏆 Version 5.2 — 26.2.x port (complete roadmap!)

Waystones now runs on 26.2.x, the current Minecraft version — and now covers every officially supported version, from 1.12.2 to today.

🔧 Adapting to the 26.2 API

• No code changes were needed — Spigot confirms no API breakage since 26.1
• No new JDK change — Java 25 remains sufficient
• Tested and validated under real conditions on a test server (Falix)
• No feature added or changed, hence why the version number stays 5.2

🏷️ Naming

Generated jar: Waystone-5.2-26.2.x.jar

🎉 Full roadmap summary

Twelve distinct jars, a single codebase, zero functional regressions:

Minecraft line	JDK required
1.12.x → 1.16.x	Java 8
1.17.x → 1.19.x	Java 17
1.20.x → 1.21.x	Java 21
26.1.x → 26.2.x	Java 25

Three JDK changes, two build tooling updates (maven-shade-plugin), a handful of block/sound renames fixed along the way — and the language system, bStats, and update checker built in v4/v5 never needed to be touched.
