A new month means a new patch! Skript 2.8.3 is here and it brings with it many bug fixes. You can report any issues on our issue tracker.
Happy Skripting!
Notices
If, and only if, you have the case-insensitive-variables config option set to false, you may experience slight changes to code behavior in functions. Previously, function parameters did not respect this option. This means that if you relied the bug that made the following code work (despite your config option set to false), your code will no longer work in this update.
function test(TEST: text):
broadcast {_test} # only {_TEST} is set now, not {_test}
broadcast {_test} # only {_TEST} is set now, not {_test}
Changelog
Bug Fixes
- #6233 Fixed an issue where event values for the inventory item move event were mistakenly removed.
- #6309 Fixed an issue that caused some click events to fire multiple times for a single event.
- #6192 Fixed an issue where using the groups expression with LuckPerms would cause an exception.
- #6328 Fixed an issue where multiplying or adding timespans could overflow into negative values.
- #6387 Fixed an exception when trying to get the components of a non-vector.
- #6388 Fixed function parameters not respecting the case-insensitive-variables config option.
- #6391 Fixed plain always getting the same item for aliases representing multiple items.
- #6392 Fixed bucket events returning the wrong event-block.
- #6463 Fixed the at time event failing to property trigger when a world's time was changed.

Skript 2.8.0 110 days, 12 hours and 35 minutes ago
Skript 2.8.0 is here for everyone to enjoy! This release contains many new features and bug fixes to improve the Skript experience.
Below, you can familiarize yourself with the changes. As always, report any issues to our issues page! Per our new release model, we plan to release 2.8.1 on February 1st to continue addressing bugs. In the event of any critical issues, an emergency patch release may come sooner.

⚠ Breaking Changes
- Using players in variable names will soon change from defaulting to names to defaulting to UUIDs. Warnings have been added to help smooth out this transition. See #6270 for more information.
- Removed Projectile Bounce State condition and expression. These haven't done anything for years.
- The target entity of player expression has been improved and now uses raytracing to find the player's target. This should cut down on false positives significantly, but the change in behavior may cause issues for some users who relied on its quirks.
- Parsing players from player names is now a bit more intuitive. Previously, parsing "xyz" as a player would return the first online player to contain "xyz" somewhere in their name. Now, it only returns players that start with "xyz". See #5875 for more.
- Major changes have been made to the on grow event. The grow event now has many more options to specify how you want it to listen. These changes mean that code that uses on grow of x may fire twice as often as expected.
# x -> something
on grow[th] from X
# something -> x
on grow[th] into X
# X -> Y
on grow[th] from X [in]to Y
# x is involved in some way
on grow[th] of X
- The expression durability of %item% now actually returns the durability (a pick with durability 103/160, for example, returns 103) instead of the prior behavior, where it would act like damage of %item% (returning 57 for 103/160).
- When there are multiple valid event-values for a default expression, Skript will now error and ask you to state which one you want instead of silently picking one. See the following example:
on right click on entity:
send "test"
# This will now error, because Skript doesn't know whether to
# send it to the clicked entity or the player doing the clicking.
- Arithmetic evaluation will now return <none> for a whole chain if one of the operations is illegal. Previously, adding 1 + "hello" would treat "hello" as 0 and just return 1. This now returns <none>. However, the behavior of adding things to unset values hasn't changed. 1 + {_none} still returns 1.

2.7.3 156 days, 3 hours and 51 minutes ago
Bug Fixes
- #6123 Fixed a priority issue that could cause the "sets" expression to match over other, better-fitting possibilities.
- #6171 Fixed an issue that caused accessing inventories in death events as well as checking the type of a spawner to be impossible.
- #6205 Location comparisons have been improved to significantly reduce the possibility of false negative results.
API Changes
- #6201 This is a behavioral change for the asynchronous execution API that was added to SkriptEvent (SkriptEvent#canExecuteAsynchronously). The SkriptEvent#check method may now be called asynchronously if the SkriptEvent can execute asynchronously. While we will not typically include behavioral changes like this in patch releases, this change was to address major performance issues that could occur from locking threads.

Skript 2391 days, 19 hours and 25 minutes ago
Skript is a Minecraft plugin for Spigot that enables administrators to create unique and inspiring features for their servers. It is simple to use with no experience necessary. For those who already know how to write plugins, Skript makes it easy to build prototypes that can be later developed into full plugins. Altogether, Skript is more than capable of creating a feature-rich server experience.
About Skript
Originally released in 2011 on dev.bukkit.org by Njol, Skript has always been about inclusive programming. Skript is an easy-to-use language that provides a path for server admins to easily create unique and inspiring features for their Minecraft server with no prior experience necessary. Today, the project lives on GitHub and is completely community made. With thousands of contributions and community hours poured into continued development, Skript is a very powerful plugin for any server owner.
Unlike other scripting plugins, Skript's syntax is easy to understand and follow. The focus is on simple English sentences that can be written and read by anyone. No odd syntax patterns, line breaks, or difficult setups. Plus, a large, helpful, and rapidly growing community exists to provide you with the support and directions you need.
Features
Skript is packed with useful syntax for building both simple and complex creations.
Natural Syntax
Simple-to-use and easy to understand English sentences power Skript to customize your server.
Custom Commands
Define custom commands to integrate your creations or override existing ones to change their behavior.
Functions
No need to copy and paste. Functions allow you to run the same code over and over again with customizable inputs.
Effective Error Messages
While traditional errors can be harder to understand for beginners, Skript focuses on presenting them as simply as possible. If Skript is unable to fix your error for you, it will report back in clear terms what went wrong.
Extendable
The community continues to build addons that further enhance Skript's capabilities. If Skript cannot do something, it is likely that someone has built as an addon that can.
Requirements
Skript requires Spigot to work. Paper, which is a derivative of Spigot, is recommended. Skript supports only the latest patch versions of Minecraft 1.13 and newer. For example, this means that 1.16.5 is supported, but 1.16.4 is not. Minecraft 1.12 and earlier are not supported. When new Minecraft versions are released, we will work as quickly as possible to support them. It is worth noting that the latest version of Skript may work fine on new versions, but without support for any new features.
NOTE: If you must use Skript on an older Minecraft server, Skript 2.6.4 was the final release with support for versions 1.9 through 1.12. Click here to view it on GitHub.

Due to Skript's size and development history, working on the project demands prior Java experience. It can be useful to familiarize yourself with Skript's codebase by exploring many of the addons that have been built for it (see below).
