VoidChest — May 2025 Beta Release

Hey everyone!
We’re kicking off a new beta release cycle with one of the biggest updates VoidChest has ever seen. This version brings a fully redesigned UI, performance improvements, and tons of quality-of-life upgrades.
⚠️ This is a beta build — bugs may still occur. Please read the warning section before updating!


⚠️ Beta Warning & Upgrade Advice

This version is considered BETA. While tested thoroughly, issues may appear in real-world use.

Backup Before Updating
- Please back up your entire Minecraft server before updating.
- Use this on a test server first:

1. Try out the new menus and configs.
   
2. Reconfigure the plugin to your liking.
   
3. Once satisfied, move finalized configs to your live server.
   

❗ Important for Upgraders from < 5.x
- Save data from older versions (below 5.x) is likely not compatible.
- It's recommended to start fresh with a clean setup or be prepared to manually migrate your data (playerdata/voiddata).

❗ Important for users using VoidChest addons
Old API is not compatible with the new version of VoidChest. Please ask your developer/plugin provider to update to the latest beta one.
