VoidChest — 6.0.0-beta.4 Release Notes
Hey everyone!
We’re excited to bring you another beta update with important fixes and useful features — including improved file handling, command system overhaul, multi-version glow item support, and more stable item logic for VoidChests.

⚠️ 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 commands and file handling.
2. Test any custom setups or integrations.
3. Once satisfied, move finalized configs to your live server.

❗ Important for Upgraders from < 5.x

• Data from older versions (below 5.x) is not compatible.
• Recommended: start with a clean setup or manually migrate data (playerdata/voiddata).

❗ Important for users using VoidChest addons
Old API is not compatible with the new version. Developers must update addons for compatibility with this beta.
