4.0.0

• Added support for 1.17 servers - WARNING: Setting custom world height is NOT supported and will lead to problems with older clients joining!
  • While we took effort to at least make it work with a changed min_y world value, both min_y and and changed height are not and will (most likely) never be fully supported.
  • Old clients will simply not see and not be able to interact with any blocks under y=0 and above y=255.
• Chat component transformation has been moved from Bungee Chat to the more reliable/modern adventure project to fix multiple issues in that regard
