COMPATIBILITY NOTICE

The /vd fix command should resolve all compatibility issues except for the config.yml. If issues persist, try reloading plugin data using /vd reload, and if that doesn't work try reloading the server. For the config file, either delete it and let it regenerate or add the following lines below the languageFile key:

# This is the customEffects.yml version for reference.
# ONLY EDIT ONCE FILE HAS BEEN UPDATED.
customEffects: 1
