MF v5.7.0 (Faction Management Improvements, Protection Fixes & MC 1.21.11 Support)

Medieval Factions v5.7.0 delivers a substantial set of improvements focused on stability, configuration flexibility, and faction management, alongside updates for the latest Minecraft version.

Protection logic has been tightened with fixes for locked chest hopper bypasses and updated handling for new potion effects and copper golems.

On the technical side, v5.7.0 includes multiple stability and reliability fixes, such as resolving NullPointerExceptions, improving concurrent gate save handling, and removing outdated territory item pickup/drop restrictions. Development and deployment workflows have also been enhanced with automated JAR publishing, improved documentation, and updated SpigotMC source-of-truth content.

• Leaderless faction support with operator management commands
• World-based claim blocking configuration
• Fixed double-chest hopper bypass and protection edge cases
• Improved faction flag commands with force permissions and refactoring
• Test server updated to Minecraft 1.21.11
