Upgrading from BetterEnderChest 2.5.7 or older, and using MySQL? Read this!

BetterEnderChest now uses an encoding that supports emoji's. However, old installs are not automatically upgraded, so emoji's still won't work. To fix this, you need to run the following MySQL query on your database:

ALTER TABLE bec_chestdata_default CHANGE chest_data chest_data MEDIUMTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL;

If you have world groups, run this query once for every world group, making sure you get the table name ( bec_chestdata_default here) correct. You can use the query SHOW TABLES; to check what tables there are in your database.
