System.NotSupportedException: Character set 'utf8mb3' is not supported by .Net Framework

Question

I am trying to run a server with a MySQL Database, however I keep getting this huge error and I am not sure why.

Answer 1

There is an update available to the MySQL Connector/NET.

After updating to version 8.0.28 (NuGet package MySql.Data) everything is working again.
