Feedbacks and Issues

• 😁 Your feedback and reviews are highly appriciated, if you ever find a bug or false-positive in certain modules, you can create an issue in our github repository!
  • Please include the module name, subtype, server version, and what the player was doing so the issue can be reproduced faster. Use /zuri status or /zuri report for comprehensive and detailed reporting.
• 👍 You can also view Frequently asked questions article about common encountered issues to our plugin, be sure to read that before creating an issue!
• This is especially useful for lag-related detections, teleport behavior, and other cases where server conditions can affect the result.

Please wait for the developer response to the issue since we have high amount of task and issue that we to do fix also ;)
