 - Boss names now support color codes.
 - The Root Target ability now uses potion effects (slowness, slow falling, and negative jump boost) instead of repeated teleports. This should make for a smoother root experience.
 - Using `spectate-on-death: true` no longer forces players out to their join location/exit warp before moving them to the spectator area. This should prevent "jumpy" behavior in multi-world setups.
+- Players should now properly respawn at the spectator area rather than at world spawn on servers with plugins that override respawn locations.
 - Config-files with missing `pet-items` nodes no longer errors. A missing `pet-items` node in `global-settings` is treated as empty, i.e. no pet items will be registered.
 - The `player-time-in-arena` setting has been fixed.
 - The `soft-restore` setting has been fixed for blocks broken by players. Note that the functionality is still unreliable for non-trivial blocks.
