Release notes
- [Plugins] If multiple plugins define the same YAML file (generator, mod element definition, variable, ...), the contents of those files will be merged (lists and maps merged, scalar entries loaded first only), considering plugin order based on weight. Plugins should update their YAML files to contain minimal changes to templates, not contain full overrides, as was the practice so far.

Comments
Item attributes??? Does this mean that in a future version I might not need to make tools give hidden potion effects? If so, thank you for considering that as a potential future feature. (and just thank you in general for creating such a useful and versatile program, whether or not item attributes get added later)
Could you add three simple procedures?
They would be to execute redstone at a certain position with a certain level, make a mob go or follow a certain position [if that's already possible, please let me know], and generate lighting of a certain level at a certain position.
As an extra I wanted to mention, but I doubt you'll be able to add it, is that you could allow us to add mods to our workspace. This way, upon launch, we can do things like render the game better, combine mods [this way the dependency mechanics work better when a mod is an extension of another mod], or facilitate functions or builds. I don't know if I've explained myself completely, but if I have, please tell me if this function can be added, or if it's implemented, please tell me how to use it.
I really don't like how entity generation works, especially in the biome settings, where entities spawn on foliage and spawn in large numbers over time. I don't know about Overworld, but I've had issues with entity spawning in custom dimensions. I would like to see this fixed in the next update.
Another question, will we ever get a fully build-in custom structure map setting so you can find a map that leads you to a certain structure. I was thinking it could be under the custom items advanced properties tab with a checkbox to see if this item is a structure map and which structure is it for underneath that box. Another idea is to just have a separate addition tab to just make a structure map so that not just any item can become a map but it makes it an item so you can use it in loot tables.
This update is awesome, but can we get Armor Attributes, so you can equip a piece of armor and it increases or decreases an attribute, like what you can do with effects.
