Thank you, we’ll get someone to take a look.

Could you possibly rename your plugin back to what it was? Its usually not a good idea to rename a plugin.

Try renaming the file Easter_Bedwars_Zero_Build.uplugin to Spy_Bedwars_Zero_Build.uplugin (Alternatively if its ok by you of course. You could try to zip your project and I could try to see if I could fix it.)

First Solution: Same problem

Second Solution: Uefn doesn’t allow you to open compressed files. When you click the “Search” button in File Explorer at the bottom, you won’t see the zipped folders or files.

I meant zip the project and upload it here or in a Direct Message (If you want to of course so I could see the issue for myself). Another question I have could you possibly open the .uplugin file with notepad and share a screenshot/copy the contents from inside it

[Mineblo]

Another Quick Question, I didn’t see you mention it but did you by any chance Also change the plugin name In your .uefnproject file if yes try changing the name there also back to the original name.

Weekend Fix Recap:

Our conversation moved via DM to Discord so that Mineblo could help me fix the corrupted files, which resolved the issue

Thank you for your help
