Description

It appears that after a restart, some slimefun items become unusable. The items themselves replace all color code characters with a ? character and therefore remove all their correct coloring. E.g. Slimefun Guide (Book GUI) turns into ?aSlimefun Guide ?7(BookGUI). I ASSUME this is why the items stop functioning.

I have had reports of this happening even when a restart hasn't happened, but majority of reports happen after a restart occurs.

Still affects dev versions. Updated versions in main issue.

Can you also try updating your Paper version?
If all is up to date and the issue is still persisting, I will gladly reopen it.

Understood. I'll update that and get back to you as soon as I get reports of it

Confirmed this still happens on the latest paper build.

No longer requires re-opening. Only just had a report on it happening to items other than slimefun.

Thanks for your time.
