• New minigame: TNT Run - A fast paced game where players must keep moving as blocks disappear beneath their feet. Be the last one standing!

• Replaced old setup wizard with complete command-based setup system using /baa (BlueArcade Admin). Legacy setup wizard will be removed in future versions.
• Added comprehensive admin command suite. Some of the new commands include:   

1. Arena management: create, delete, enable, disable, list, info   
2. Arena configuration: setlobby, setname, setmode, setrounds, minplayers, maxplayers   
3. Game management: add, remove, list, enable, disable   
4. Game configuration: bounds, spawn, time, deathblock, finishline, floor, and game-specific settings   
5. Utilities: stick, pos1, pos2, clearselection, goto, teleport, reload   
6. Arena control: forcestart and forcestop commands to manually start or stop arenas

• Arenas can now be easily configured as standalone or party mode via commands instead of manually editing data files.
• Added JSON caching system for data files improving performance and reducing disk I/O.

NOTES:

• The setup wizard has been marked as deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
• Arenas created with the new command system cannot be modified using the legacy setup wizard.
• These changes are necessary to achieve plugin modularity. (https://trello.com/c/k6Fp9xnG/39-make-the-plugin-completely-modular)

• Adjusted minimum player handling: lobby uses config, in-game only stops below 2 players.
• Fixed language key error that caused crashes when there weren’t enough players.

• Added configurable Quick Start system that reduces the countdown when the arena fills up.
• Improved first minigame transition: direct teleport after lobby countdown for a smoother experience.

• Fixed constant console error when loading data files in 1.21.
• Fixed bug in OITC where you could kill yourself with the bow and gain kills.
• Fixed critical bug in TNT Tag where incorrect players were eliminated. The game now properly tracks who has the TNT at all times and between rounds.

• Fully reorganized the language file: player-facing messages are now separated from admin-only ones, making translations easier and more focused.
