We are thrilled to announce the massive 5.0-BETA update! This version brings a completely new database system designed for maximum performance, a fresh modern look, and heavily improved backend stability.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Because this update completely rewrites internal data handling, it is currently in a testing (BETA) phase. Please make a BACKUP of your plugins/GearEvolution folder before installing!

What's New?​

• Database for Better Performance: We've introduced robust database support (H2/SQLite) to handle your items. This significantly boosts server performance, scalability, and data safety.
• Modern UI Redesign: All in-game GUIs, editors, and chat messages have been beautifully redesigned with a sleek, premium Aqua & Cyan theme.
• Improved Data Safety: Completely rewritten internal reload logic (/gevo reload) to prevent accidental item loss. We've also fixed strict file-locking issues causing previous database disconnects.
• Bug Fixes & Internal Defenses: Added multiple under-the-hood protections against config typos, missing lore errors, and Minecraft 1.21.x block hit exceptions. The plugin will now smartly warn you in the console instead of crashing.

Since this is a BETA build, you might encounter some unexpected behaviors. Please report any bugs or issues you find on our Discord!
