   Upgrading from Soul Grinder 2.0.1

1. Back up your world and complete server or modpack instance.
2. Remove the old Soul Grinder JAR. Do not load 2.0.1 and 3.0.0 together.
3. Install `soul_grinder-3.0.0-forge-1.20.1.jar` and keep the required Forge 1.20.1 dependencies.
4. Test a copied world first and inspect existing machines, hatches, jars, inventories, Potatomancers, and stored fluids.
5. Explore new chunks to find newly added Guild structures.
6. Keep your backup until the upgraded world has been saved, restarted, and checked again.
