v1.14.0: v1.14.0 — Mid-Match Leave, Stop Match & Duels Stats Crediting
13 June 2026
DuelsFlexParty v1.14.0
Mid-Match Leave, Stop Match, Unstuck Guarantees & Duels Stats Crediting
Mid-Match Leave, Stop Match, Unstuck Guarantees & Duels Stats Crediting
✦ New Features
1. Leave a Match Anytime
/fp leavenow works during a live match, not just in the queue- Leaving an active match counts as a forfeit, the player is removed, sent back, and their inventory and XP are restored
- If your leaving ends the match (last player standing on the other side), it wraps up normally
- No more "not in queue" message when you're clearly mid-fight
2. Leaders Can End a Match Early
/fp stopmatchlets the party leader stop a running match midway- Ends with no winner, all players are teleported back and restored
- Works even if the leader already died or is spectating
3. No More Stuck Players
- Even with command whitelist or blacklist enabled during matches,
/fp leave,/fp stopmatch, and/fp spec leavealways go through - Players can never be trapped inside a match by restrictive command lists
4. Optional: Count Results in Duels Stats
- Flip on
duels-statsand a finished FlexParty match credits winners a win and everyone else a loss on their Duels profile - Results now show on your Duels wins/losses leaderboards and in
%duels_...%placeholders - Off by default, opt in via config
- Wins and losses only (Duels has no kills or rating for non-duel matches), and draws,
/fp stopmatch, and server shutdowns credit nobody
✦ New Config

10 June 2026
DuelsFlexParty v1.13.1
Critical Paper 1.21+ Startup Fix
Critical Paper 1.21+ Startup Fix
✦ Critical Bug Fix
- Extension no longer fails to load on Paper 1.21+ the stuck kit item cleanup added in
v1.11.1was throwing an error during startup on newer Paper builds because of a stricter naming rule, which killed the entire extension before it could register commands. That's why/fp createand other commands silently did nothing on affected servers - Use Duels' own toggle instead the redundant cleanup check has been removed, Duels' built-in
protect-kit-items: falsesetting handles the "Kit contents cannot be used when not in a duel" spam properly, so the FlexParty-side workaround was no longer needed
✦ How to Update
- Drop the new jar into
plugins/Duels/extensions/ - Delete the old
DuelsFlexParty-1.12.0.jar(or any earlier version) - Restart the server
- If you're still seeing the "Kit contents cannot be used" message, set
protect-kit-items: falsein Duels' own config
Update now if you're on Paper 1.21+ and FlexParty commands aren't responding.
No config changes needed, drop in the jar and restart.

Smart Config Updates That Preserve Your Customizations
✦ New: Comment-Preserving Config Migration
No more losing your formatting, comments, or custom keys when the plugin updates.

config.ymlandgui.ymlstays exactly as you wrote it on update, even after new keys are merged in - Your customizations stick any keys you've added that aren't in the defaults are kept untouched, no more rewriting them after each version
- New defaults merged in cleanly only the keys the plugin added in this release are appended, with their inline documentation
- Version-aware both config files now track a
config-versioninternally so upgrades from older installs are detected and handled automatically
✦ Changes
- Plugin tracking on bStats the bStats dashboard now tracks the actual FlexParty version, so you can see exactly which versions are running across servers
- Legacy GUI migration hardened the old
gui.*keys-in-config.ymlmigration path runs earlier in the load sequence so nothing gets stripped during the new config update process - Jar size up ~120 KB due to the bundled config library, total now around 663 KB
Update now for safer config updates that respect everything you've configured.
Fully backwards compatible, legacy installs are auto-detected and migrated, all your values and customizations preserved.

v1.12.0: v1.12.0 — Overcrowded Arenas + Stuck Kit Item Fix
09 June 2026
DuelsFlexParty v1.12.0
Overcrowded Arenas + Stuck Kit Item Fix
Combined 1.11.1 + 1.12.0 drop.
Overcrowded Arenas + Stuck Kit Item Fix
Combined 1.11.1 + 1.12.0 drop.
✦ New Feature: Overcrowded Arenas (Stacked Spawns)
Run parties bigger than the arena's spawn point count by stacking players onto shared spawns. Perfect for 30-50 player FFA matches on maps with only 8-15 configured spawns.
How it works
allow-overcrowded-arenas: false(default off) flip totrueto let parties exceed an arena's spawn point count, extra players are stacked onto existing spawns in a round-robinmin-spawns-per-player: 0.5caps how heavily spawns can be stacked
Stack ratio reference
| Value | Stack ratio | Example (10-spawn arena) |
1.0 | No stacking | max 10 players |
0.5 | 2 per spawn | max 20 players |
0.25 | 4 per spawn | max 40 players |
0.0 | Unlimited | only max-players caps |
- Arenas that only fit your party via stacking now show as a yellow warning item in the map picker instead of being blocked
- Lore reads: ⚠ Your party is more than the set locations, there will be overcrowded situation.
- Arenas that exceed even the stack cap still show the barrier block as before
✦ Bug Fix: Stuck Kit Item Cleanup
- Stuck kit items finally cleared resolved a long-running issue where Duels' "[Duels] Kit contents cannot be used when not in a duel" message would keep firing on every interaction, surviving server restarts, on every kit, regardless of the
save-inventorytoggle - Root cause the previous restore was scheduled to run a tick after shutdown, but the server was already stopping the scheduler by then, so tagged kit items got saved into player files and triggered the message forever
- The fix inventory and XP are now written to disk synchronously on shutdown (no scheduler dependency), so
/stop, crashes, and evenkill -9all restore cleanly on the next start - Retroactive cleanup players already stuck before this patch just need to log out and back in once, a join-time scrub strips any lingering stuck items automatically
- Optional toggle
cleanup.scrub-stuck-kit-items: true(default on) controls the retroactive scrub
✦ Changes
- Single source of truth for max players every part of the plugin (arena lookup, GUI builder, preferred-arena gate) now computes "max players this arena can hold" from one place, so all paths agree on overcrowding rules
- FFA single-spawn floor relaxed arenas with just one spawn point can now run FFA matches (teams mode still needs at least two spawns for proper team placement)
- Extension manifest version synced
extension.ymlwas stale at1.9.0, now matches the actual plugin version
✦ New Config
YAML
allow-overcrowded-arenas: false # let parties exceed spawn count
min-spawns-per-player: 0.5 # cap stacking ratio when overcrowding is on
cleanup:
scrub-stuck-kit-items: true # retroactive scrub for stuck playersAuto-migrated on reload, no manual edits required.
✦ Version Breakdown
| Version | Focus |
1.11.1 | Stuck kit item fix, synchronous shutdown restore, retroactive join-time scrub |
1.12.0 | Overcrowded arenas with stacked spawns, yellow warning in map picker, single-source max-players calc, FFA single-spawn allowance |
Update now for massive 30-50 player FFA on small arenas and a permanent fix to the stuck kit item message.
