mcMMO/Changelog_2.1.0.md

###### **Version 2.1.0**

##### Please use Spigot or Paper!
    
    mcMMO is now built against Spigot-API instead of Bukkit

New Level Scaling

    mcMMO now features an optional 1-100 scaling mode!
    This is on by default for new installs, if you are upgrading mcMMO you will be put into Retro Mode instead (1-1000) scaling.
    The two scaling modes are the same, the changes are completely cosmetic!
    Skill Requirements in the config file will be multiplied by 10 if you are using Retro mode unless the setting has Retro in its name, keep this in mind if you need to edit anything!

World Guard Support
    
    Added support for Worldguard regions!
        "mcmmo" region flag turns on or off a players ability to use anything related to mcMMO other than commands
        "mcmmo-xp" region flag turns on or off a players ability to gain XP
        These WG flags default to on unless you specify otherwise
        
World Blacklist

    You can now disable mcMMO completely for specific worlds via world_blacklist.txt in /plugins/mcMMO/
    This file appears once mcMMO has been run at least once
    Every line of this file should be the name of a world where you don't want mcMMO to be enabled!
