\n**What if there is a major update to a plugin?**
\n– Plugins with major version updates _(according to semver)_ will appear red in `\/updates` and will not be updated when running `\/updater update all`, this is to encourage server admins to take time to read changelogs. You can bypass this by either running `\/updater update all -f` or `\/updater update
\n– PluginUpdater only downloads plugins to the update folder and **does not** modify any plugin jars. If you have an issue with an update, report this to the developer of the plugin with the issue!<\/p>\n
\n– Adding PluginUpdater compatibility to your plugin is super easy and does not require an API. You can follow these instructions to make your plugin compatible!
\n– You can use our shadeable API to easily handle version checking\/update downloading in your plugins. For more information about the API check out the wiki page<\/p>\n
