**Velocitab 1.5** is a significant release that adds support for Minecraft 1.20.2, makes it possible to customise nametags displayed above players in-game, and improves the flexibility of the list sorting system.
* Added support for Minecraft 1.20.2 (#99)
- You *must* be running the absolute latest build of Velocity for this to work, as some critical TAB-related issues have only just been fixed!
* The config option for sorting users by now supports placeholders instead of sorting keys, courtesy of @alexdev03 (#94)
- Works with both built-in placeholders and PAPIProxyBridge placeholders
- Will sort alphabetically based on the resolved placeholder
- Note that integer-returning placeholders may not sort correctly; the built-in role weight placeholder will account for this
* Added a few new built-in placeholders:
- Added the `%server_group_index%` placeholder (useful for sorting users by server), courtesy of @StrixG (#88)
- Added the `%role_weight%` placeholder. This placeholder returns a comparable stringified version of the user's role weight
* Added support for formatting above-head nametags, courtesy of @alexdev03 (#84)
- You can now customize the nametag displayed above players heads with additional text and colors.
- [Check the docs](https://william278.net/docs/velocitab/nametags) for more information!
* Added a new option to [`config.yml`](https://william278.net/docs/velocitab/config-file) for turning on/off scoreboard packet dispatching; required for both sorting and nametags.
* Added support for dispatching and sorting teams for Minecraft 1.8.x and 1.12.2 clients, courtesy of @alexdev03 (#87)
* Fixed the DisconnectEvent still being handled even if the login state was not `SUCCESSFUL_LOGIN`, courtesy of @Apehum (#80)
* Fixed Update teams packets not being unregistered when the plugin disabled, courtesy of @alexdev03 (#83)
* Fixed a rare packet encoding error on Minecraft 1.20.1, courtesy of @alexdev03 (#90)
To update, just drag+drop and *regenerate your `config.yml` file for this release* as there have been config changes.
