ApexClan v0.3.8 – Major Rebrand & Core Rewrite
ApexClan (formerly VeldoraClan) has undergone a major internal rewrite.
This update introduces a new architecture, new systems, and a completely modernized plugin structure.

This is not a regular update. Core systems, storage logic, and package structure have changed.

⚠️ Important Notice for Server Owners
The plugin has been rebranded from VeldoraClan to ApexClan.

Before updating it is recommended to:

• Backup your VeldoraClan plugin folder
• Delete the old config.yml and Language folder
• Start the server with the new ApexClan version

During startup, the plugin will automatically migrate clan data from the VeldoraClan folder into the new ApexClan system.

Old configuration files are not compatible with this version.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

This update includes a major internal rewrite and a full plugin rebrand.

While the update has been tested, unexpected issues may still occur depending on server setups.

If you encounter any bugs or migration problems, please report them on our Discord server with the console logs so the issue can be investigated and fixed quickly.
