	+ All remaining players glow when there's 15 seconds left in the round.
	+ There is now a 30 seconds period before the game start where players can explore the map.
* Added airdrops to SkyZone, which contain the strongest loot available in the game. 4 airdrops spawn each round simultaneously at the 4 islands adjacent to the middle island. Additionally, the border decay has been retimed.
* A new TNT Spleef map layout has been introduced. In addition, the decay is now similar to regular spleef instead of using the world border, and the bow has been enchanted with Punch Ⅰ.
