Parkour updates

Parkour

• 🐛 Fix Map of the Day now comes only from the highest-rated maps, and a map won't be featured again within 30 days.
• ✨ New Party members now share a private Simple Voice Chat group, so they hear each other wherever they are while players nearby don't hear the party.
• 🐛 Fix Duel match prompts and queue join lines now show their buttons, including [REROLL], on servers with older lang files.
• ✨ New Direct duel challenges can now stake cosmetics alongside points: the winner takes the loser's staked cosmetic, and stakes are locked until the duel is settled.
• 🐛 Fix Backpacks now stay hidden while you glide, swim, crawl, spin in a riptide or sleep, and turn with the boat or horse you ride.
• 🐛 Fix Fixed chained parties starting over when a mount was slowly worn down on a cactus at the checkpoint, and hand-out items now follow reloaded removal timers.
• ✨ New Added Tag, a 1v1 minigame: one player chases the other through a generated arena, and the faster catch wins.
• 🐛 Fix Visitors can no longer change a map's mobs with splash potions, lures, their own pets, or by walking into them, and a lectern reader who loses permission to turn a map's page has the view closed.
• ✨ New Added Red Light, Green Light, a group race on parkour maps where you must stop when the light turns red.

Parkour

• 🐛 Fix Runners whose mount keeps getting destroyed at a checkpoint no longer hear a respawn sound every lap or restart their run each time.
• 🐛 Fix Visitors can no longer hit, ride, feed, tame or shove a map's mobs, boats or minecarts; runners are still allowed to.
• ✨ New Browse hotbar is less cluttered: Map options holds favorites, playlists, time trials, spectating and settings; after a run, More holds favorite, time trial and share.

World Guard

• Handle 26.3 poplar boats in boat placement and vehicle checks
• Check EntityPlaceEvent placements (26.3 cushions) as entity spawns

Parkour

• 🐛 Fix fix(protection): a map's powder snow, lily pads, lecterns, armor stands, mobs and vehicles stay as built (#1350)
• 🐛 Fix fix(build): a test run started over a running one ends it first, and build mode's give-back neither despawns nor drops a beacon's payment (#1344)
• 🐛 Fix fix(play): a plugin item can't go into a bundle, and a map's hand-out nobody picks up is removed after 15 s (#1346, #1350)
• 🐛 Fix fix(play): a mount lost in a loop is quiet, leaves nothing on the ground and is logged per map stretch (#1348)
• 🐛 Fix fix(build): the cursor and a crafting table's grid stay with build mode, and leaving build mode during a test run keeps the real inventory (#1342, #1343)
• 🐛 Fix fix(play): what a hand-out bundle holds and what a runner crafts go at a reset too (#1341)
• 🐛 Fix fix(play): nobody may hurt a runner's mount, and a mount the map takes sends the runner back (#1336)
• 🐛 Fix fix(play): a move an ability teleported the runner out of no longer counts plates or portals (#1329)
• 🐛 Fix fix(replay): a new run ends the finished run's save window, and only the move a teleport was made from is dropped (#1325, #1330)
• 🐛 Fix fix(protection): bottles at a cauldron follow "Allow Decoration Use", and more ways to change a map without placing or breaking are refused (#1326, #1328)
• 🐛 Fix fix(cosmetics): a backpack's body turn follows what viewers are sent when they start tracking the wearer afresh (#1331)
• 🐛 Fix fix(modes): the cursor and crafting grid are held aside with the inventory when a mode starts, and discarded when it ends (#1338)
• 🐛 Fix fix(protection): a map's boats and minecarts can't be punched or shot apart by anyone who may not edit it (#1336)
