VoidChest — 6.0.0-beta.3 Release Notes
Hey everyone!
We’re back with another beta update packed with critical bug fixes and powerful new features — including SQL/MongoDB support, improved 1.8.8 compatibility, and major improvements to internal tasks and menus.
⚠️ 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.
