i will look into it, the compatibility may be added tomorrow (when I wake up).

Edit: patched.

It worked! Wonderful, thank you so much! :D

I was able to update this for 1.6 but I don't know how to share the .dll file so im just going do step by step. download DnSpy. Open the Dispenser.dll -> In the left side there should be a Dispenser.dll in purple -> Open that tab -> Scroll down until you see Startup -> right click edit class -> Paste the following code -> Then compile -> Then File -> Save Module:
