RDQ 6.0.0 Beta Build 4 Update Notes

Release artifact version: 6.0.0-BETA-Build-4 Last updated: 2026-11-07 This build integrates quest kill objectives with RCore's managed entities and improves compatibility with older server APIs. Back up the RDQ database and custom content before upgrading.

Changes since Beta Build 3

- Added attributed quest kill credit from RCore's confirmed managed-entity death events. RDQ skips the corresponding native death event so one managed death advances the objective once. A managed death without player attribution does not grant player progress; ordinary native kills keep their existing path. - Preserved tab-name formatting on engines without the newer player-list ordering API. Those engines retain native ordering instead of failing the rank-tablist update or its cleanup. - Updated bounty menus and names, machine items and menus, quest sidebars, command feedback, and titles to use the shared Adventure compatibility helpers. - Made additive command-route upgrades tolerate engines without YAML comment-parsing support while retaining the existing root validation, backup, and merge behavior. - Added Java 17 compatibility packaging and shared fixes for menu creation, plugin metadata, dependency downloads, and Paper/Folia command registration. Refreshed shared database/runtime dependencies and dependency security minimums. Free and Premium remain separate edition JARs.

Upgrade notes

- Install RCore 2.0.0-BETA-Build-4 before RDQ and keep exactly one RDQ edition JAR installed. Restart after replacing artifacts. Use the Java version required by your Minecraft server; the adapted release JAR's Java 17 baseline does not lower the server's own requirement. See the [Suite support and artifact contract](https://github.com/Antimatter-Zone/RaindropSuite/blob/956… - Keep the RDQ database, custom quests, rank paths, command files, and command backups. Build 3's reward-recovery and command migration guidance still applies when upgrading from an earlier build; see the [Beta Build 3 notes](https://github.com/Antimatter-Zone/RaindropSuite/blob/956… - Existing entity-kill objectives can receive matching managed-entity kills without a new objective type. RCore supplies the entity service; do not install a separate REntity plugin. Managed cleanup and deaths without confirmed player credit do not provide quest progress. - On older engines, expect native tab ordering when the list-order API is unavailable. Rank-name formatting remains active according to your tablist configuration. - Validate a normal kill and a managed kill against your custom objectives, and check bounty, machine, and quest menus on your chosen server version before rollout. Server-specific entities and APIs remain subject to native capability limits.
