How to update

This guide shows you how to update without losing your custom items, settings, and configurations

Always backup before updating! You'll lose all your customizations if you skip this step

What to Backup

Always backup these folders:

• _backups/ - Items list backup

• _data/ - Your items and settings

• _hooks/ - Crafting recipes and custom logic

• _images/ - Items images

• _modules - Integration with external scripts

• integrations/ - Some settings

• current_config.json - Settings file

Only if you modified them:

• _images/ - Custom item images

• dist/assets/variables.css - Custom theme colors

• _locales/ - Translations

• dist/menu_translations/ - Menu translations

Update Steps

1. Stop your server

2. Backup your files

   • Copy the folders to backup from the server to a safe location (like your Desktop)

3. Remove the old inventory from server

   • Remove the entire jaksam_inventory folder from your server

4. Install the new version

   • Download the latest version

   • Extract and copy the new jaksam_inventory folder to your server

5. Restore your backups

   • Copy your backup folders back into the new jaksam_inventory folder:

     • Replace _data/ with your backup _data/

     • Replace _hooks/ with your backup _hooks/

     • Replace integrations/ with your backup integrations/

     • Replace _images/ with your backup _images/

     • Replace dist/menu_translations/ with your backup dist/menu_translations/

     • Replace current_config.json with your backup current_config.json

     • Replace dist/assets/variables.css with your backup dist/assets/variables.css

6. Start your server and test
