Making addons work with the newest version

I have figured out how to upgrade plugins and will share how!

Then you change plugin.json. 

Now, it will get tricky. Due to compatibility issues, you have to change the generator from the newest supported version to your version or the closest to your version. 

And now the APIs .yaml

This is a very risky method and ignores all the changes and upgrades needed to be made to plugins to make them actually work.

To any user reading, this is not an actual method of updating plugins and will likely break your work.
