### Incorrect Version Display<\/p>\n
If the `\/ac status` command or startup messages report an incorrect Minecraft version (e.g., “1.8.8” when the file name says “1.9”):<\/p>\n
* **Reason:** This is typically a display error where the developer forgot to update the version string in the plugin’s internal configuration.
