  • blabber:fake_player draws a (potentially offline) player with custom data

  • stare_at_x/stare_at_y properties have been moved to a stare_at object, which can optionally take an anchor
  • Illustrations in the old format should keep working, but only the new format will be actively supported going forward

• Blabber will now log a warning with some additional details when it detects that a player gets stuck without available choices
• API: DialogueIllustration#parseText can now throw CommandSyntaxException
