A holiday update
Skript now fully supports Minecraft 1.15! We expect that future patches for 2.4 will contain only bug fixes and support for future Minecraft versions, while Skript 2.5 is being prepared.
- Added support for 1.15's particles
- Added bees
- Added aliases for new items and blocks from 1.15
- Fixed command reloading not working on 1.15
- Fixed a typo in iron golem name
2.4 is here!
Long-awaited stable release of Skript is here!
We've added new features (see documentation for details), and fixed many bugs. Some highlights:
- Added support for Minecraft 1.14.4
- Fixed many item comparison issues (some still remain)
- 1.12 and older versions are most impacted by this
- Improved performance and reduced memory usage of aliases
Full changes since Skript 2.3.7 are available below, in form of pre-release patch notes.
Since last release, a few things have changed:
Preparing for stable release
A collection of bugfixes has been released for Skript 2.4. A stable release will soon follow, unless significant issues are found. Most development currently goes to Skript 2.5.
- Fixed issues with llamas on 1.14 (closes #2573)
- Fixed potion aliases (closes #2581)
- Fixed (rare) item comparison issues
- Fixed (not so rare) item comparison issues on 1.12 and older versions (closes #2394)

- Fixed coloring items throwing exceptions (closes #2623)
- Fixed WorldGuard regions including blocks outside the region (closes #2617, thanks @APickledWalrus)
A late beta release
This release comes much later than we had originally planned. We were waiting for some further improvements to be finished, but in the end couldn't get them to this release. Stable Skript 2.4 will be released soon if everything goes as planned; development of 2.5 has already started. We may backport a few more bug fixes to 2.4 before that.
PRs merged
This update has merged a lot of pending PRs with new features and bugfixes and hopefully fixed some critical bugs with items.

More fixes for bugs
This one is hopefully more usable than the previous one. Still, because it was apparently unclear: this is not a stable release. Critical bugs may exist, test before using.
