Another major update, another VanillaCord breaking change. If you're wanting to patch 1.18, you'd better be ready to repackage Minecraft Server Bundles.

That's right. After 10 long years, the format in which the vanilla Minecraft server is distributed had finally been changed, which means we had to change too. In order to patch a 1.18 server, VanillaCord now has to detect, extract, and load the bundled libraries before it can patch the server. It then performs the task of re-packaging the server-bundle to sustain the input/output format VanillaCord users have come to expect.

Naturally, this could have been done with less code than it was, but my focus was on compatibility. Should Mojang change the bundle format in future versions, it should be theoretically much easier for VanillaCord to be updated while still retaining backwards-compatibility for the previous formats.
