  • Dear Extraordinary Survivalists
    v1.19.0, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager

    And just like that, we conclude the 9 months long development of 1.19, with over 500 individual features, tweaks and fixes! As always, we are immensely grateful to everyone that play-tested our unstable and preview builds and provided feedback to us. We hope you will enjoy this update! 💚

    "Windows protected your PC"
    When installing 1.19.0 on Windows, Windows Defender Smartscreen might raise a warning when you run the installer and you will have to click "More info" and then "Run anyway" to proceed. There is nothing we can do on our end to address this, unfortunately. It seems the 1.19 install files need to build enough reputation for Microsoft to be recognized as safe.

    Apple Mac version
    Similar to the issues on Windows, on first run of vintagestory.app on macOS you need to Open it and confirm to proceed - see macOS Installation Guide on the Wiki. Talking of which, we have made significant strides into improving support for macOS - please do try!

    Is 1.19 done now?
    At this point, we believe it is complete enough for everyone to play on. Some of the new features will require further fine tuning. We estimate that all the new First-person mode animations will still take about 100 additional man-hours of tuning to fully mature. The cave-in system, Command Handbook and Accessibility tab could also use some visual upgrades and tweaks.

    What's next?
    For 1.20 we would like to build the second main Story Event, following the Resonance Archives. We plan this to be a series of primarily surface-level experiences, involving lots of travel and exploration, along with new travel mechanics.
    Entering speculation territory: Beyond that we have some vague plans on a potential VS Model Creator rewrite, continuing our work with the mini-dimensions system, along with all the benefits that such new system can provide and other features that didn't make the cut for 1.18 and 1.19. Time will tell on how far we will get on these fronts. As always, there are bound to be some juicy new things added along the way...

    Game updates

    • Feature: Overhauled First-person mode: Now a hybrid between the old standard fp mode and the Immersive fp mode. We render the player's hands and arms, their positions and animations depend on current actions and items held.  (A slider is provided in Settings, Interface tab to allow players to adjust the hands position to their preference.)
    • Feature: Added 11 species of deer and moose and elk, each has several antler variants. (Originally based on the assets from the Capreolinae mod, with permission. Thanks Tentharchitect!)
      • Wolves will attack some of the smaller deer species, and all fawns
      • Deer Antlers! These grow on male adults over winter and are shed in spring. Can be picked up by players and placed on 3 variants of wood-typed antler mount
    • Feature: Added 11 types of goats, some are only found at altitude or in warmer climates
    • Feature: Cave-in system in the Wilderness Survival playstyle (and optional in other playstyles). Solid rock and cracked rock now collapses if not supported while being broken/placed. Enabled via world config.
      • Use wooden beams to stabilize mines and tunnels
      • Falling rock from cave-ins can be very painful!
    • Feature: Snowballs! Scoop up snowballs from deep snow and throw them at your friends. There are also some options for those that aren't really feeling the holiday spirit this year.... Can also turn snowballs into water.
    • Feature: Rough implementation of small wild animal trapping using baskets and food as bait. Basket traps are not always successful. Some heavy creatures (e.g. boar) can destroy basket traps.
    • Feature: Ability to catch small tamed animals (generation 5+) with an empty reed chest. Requires one free backpack slot
    • Feature: Added Accessibility tab. Moved View Bobbing and Toggle Sprint settings there. Added 3 new accessibility settings: Camera shake strength, Wireframe thickness and Glitch strength waviness (for times of temporal instability).
      • Tweak: Added experimental minbrightness client config, potential use for YouTubers/streamers to prevent pitch-black areas.
    • Feature: Added Command Handbook. Available in Creative mode through the game pause menu, or type command .chb to open
    • Feature: Visual fine tuning
      • Increased god ray intensity and fine-tuned its shader
      • Fixed god ray ray directions. Before, the rays would not exactly start from the center of the sun
      • Improved frost overlay visuals on creatures/traders - frost now only applies during precipitation or shortly thereafter, improved visual quality and some body parts are no longer completely frosted over, such as the trader's head
      • More haptic menu buttons - the main menu should feel slightly more responsive in actual use
      • Re-worked large trough, small trough and bucket models
      • Crop seeds and grain items now have 3D models
      • Improved SSAO quality - no longer has odd artifacts (thanks to @nug on Discord)
      • Faster storm dust particles
      • Improved seraph idle animation
      • Fixed: Ambient occlusion from stairs, slabs and other non-full cubes was broken in almost all directions
      • Fixed: LOD popping at very short view distances (32 and 64
    • Feature: Added scroll racks. Storage space for scrolls, papers and tuning cylinders
    • Feature: Prospecting pick heatmap: added tabs to the world map
    • Feature: New more medieval looking world map visuals, using the color palette from the Medieval Map mod (by permission from Rangelost, with many thanks). Classic world map visuals can be restored using the commands "/worldconfigcreate bool colorAccurateWorldmap true" server-wide or "/player [playername] privilege grant colorAccurateWorldmap" for each player
    • Feature: Chiseling system upgrades
      • Decor overlay support as well as support for grass covered topsoil block. Can use knife to remove decor layers again.
      • Can now properly add more material to a chiseled block, useful when wanting to create a full block from 2 slabs
      • When using slabs as input material the game did not correctly count already used material
      • Chiseled blocks no longer have their name fixed to the block name first used during creation. If no custom name is set by the player, the chiseled block will now take on the name of the majority material
      • World generation now fully supports chiseled blocks when part of a surface or underground ruin, i.e. chiseled block materials can adapt to local rock types and can get submerged into soil
      • Microblocks, such as the chiselled blocks in ruins, can now be excavated from soil. Cobble microblocks drop stones when broken
    • Feature: Raccoon and Fox pups now spawn in the world
    • Feature: Can now ignite extinct torches on lit torches, firepits, forges, pit kilns, etc.
    • Feature: Improved character selector
      • Players can now select their previously selected skin preferences, in the Create Character dialog via new 'Last selection' button
      • Greatly reduced strange hair combinations when using the Randomize button
      • Updated hair colors. Replaced all purple and pink shades (sorry to those that loved them, but they are not in keeping with the general visual direction in the game; they can be added back using a mod)
      • Added 3 new beards
      • The selector no longer plays the seraph voice when the Create Character dialog first appears (too laggy in the first few frames to do so, can heavily skew sounds)
    • Feature: More streamlined introduction into the game's mechanics (WIP). Instead of a dialog about the Handbook overlaid when the game first starts, now when launching a new game, the player can select their character and 15 seconds after selection a small HUD element will appear on the left side offering help - this will open an Introduction dialog with links to the Handbook and the tutorial
    • Feature: Gameplay balancing tweaks and fixes
      • Tweak: Boars and Sows are now intensely protective towards their offspring. They become highly aggressive if there are piglets nearby. This behavior disappears after generation 3
      • Tweak: Bear spawning generally reduced about 20-25%.  Brown bear lower spawn range moved further north, to reduce black and brown bears spawning in same places
      • Tweak: Terra Preta is no longer generated during worldgen.  High fertility soil will be generated instead.  Terra Preta is now made in the crafting grid, as high fertility soil was previously.  However crafting Terra Preta requires charcoal and bone meal, in addition to compost.  High fertility soil can be included in the recipe, to increase the yield of Terra Preta
      • Tweak: Double-headed drifters and Bells now have a chance to drop Jonas parts/sub-assemblies as loot.
      • Tweak: Double-headed drifters have a little more health now.
      • Tweak: Made arid areas more arid (by further filling up lakes with blocks)
      • Tweak: Being wet de-buffs your warmth 50% more than before, but players now get wet from snowfall 4 times slower than from rain
      • Tweak: Nerfed fur clothing set warmth values, it was circumventing the need for clothing repair
      • Tweak: Bitter bolete now only deals 1 damage. In real life it's not poisonous but it tastes awful...
      • Tweak: Polar bears now cannot climb, but can swim faster than other bears
      • Tweak: Wooden paths can now be made with any type of board
      • Tweak: Plank path recipe now outputs 1 path per 2 boards (25% of previous output)
      • Tweak: Archimedes Screw now only accepts plates of tool metals in its recipe
      • Tweak: Chisel durability cost for recycling a steel anvil increased to match steel chisel durability.  Anvil recycling recipes made shapeless
      • Tweak: Tin bronze falx damage slightly increased
      • Tweak: Tin bronze spear durability reduced, bismuth bronze spear durability increased (in line with typical precedent of other tools and weapons)
      • Tweak: Pickled olives can now be used in pies and the cooking pot.  Peanuts can be used in pies.  Added barrel textures for both.  Soybeans now have a 3d item model
      • Tweak: Pumpkins can no longer be eaten whole, but must be cut into pieces to eat (like pineapple)
      • Tweak: Commodity trader no longer sells square/offset/diamond pattern linen, only normal.  Fancy linen patterns are now a Tailor-exclusive grid recipe using a normal linen sheet, plus sewing kit.  Fancy linen can be turned back into normal pattern by any class via shears, in grid
      • Tweak: Traders now sell linen by the single sheet
      • Tweak: Adjusted prices for a couple of trader goods.
        • Linen now much more expensive, also raised Gambeson armor cost to match.
        • Most tools slightly more expensive
        • Antique armor cost now matches the protective value of the armor slot. Head armor cheapest, leg armor medium cost, chest armor most expensive
      • Fixed: Players not receiving fall damage when touching a wall during the fall
      • Fixed: No fall damage when doing a gliding land while aiming less than 45° downwards, i.e. looking horizontal or upwards would previously negate all fall damage
      • Fixed: Ingot piles were combustible
      • Fixed: Tree seeds were not combustible
      • Fixed: Fuel duration of Night vision goggles was not properly calculated (was only client side)
      • Fixed: Damaged flax crop still giving a full yield of flax fibres
      • Fixed: An upside half slab over a 1-deep hole is now no longer recognized as a cellar
      • Fixed: Sleeping did not accelerate healing. Health and Hunger are now calculated based on in-game time instead of real world time. (Can adjust the heal regeneration speed and the hunger speed using commands /worldconfig playerHealthRegenSpeed 1 and /worldconfig playerHungerSpeed 1)
      • Tweak: A config for player health regeneration speed is also available on world creation
    • Feature: All Treasure chests now have more valuable loot in them
    • Feature: Added one more room to the Resonance Archives. Various tweaks and fixes
    • Feature: Added new Music track "Arctic Winds" for the polar regions
    • Feature: Added new rain ambient sounds to rain-exposed glass (glass windows or glass ceilings)
    • Feature: New Directional Audio setting in Audio Settings, to enable HRTF audio (positional 3D audio for headphones). Most game sounds are now adapted for this, enabling it can make sound positioning immersive and realistic if headphones are worn. Switching it off (the default) may address some players' sound issues (detail: if the Operating System had detected headphones before the game started, the sound system in some cases may have already switched on HRTF without user control, which could previously make some music and environmental sounds strange, now fixed)
    • Feature: New blocks:
      • cracked ashlar blocks (ashlar was previously stone bricks)
      • deadfungi and spotty mold decor layer blocks
      • some book clutter blocks
      • clothing drying rack clutter
      • added 4 variants of aged firepit clutter
      • added another variant of aged tall display case, another variant of a ruined bed
      • added various human and animal skeleton clutter blocks: like other clutter blocks these are rotatable
      • new rock-typed rubble blocks for the new ruins (Creative mode only at the moment)
      • all types of aged polished rock
      • new crystal layer decor block for all crystal types, used in the new Vugs
    • Feature: Added new Tule plant beside lakes (usually spawning in different places from Cattails, more common around high altitude lakes). These drop thatch. Thatch roofing can be made from thatch or dry grass in this version; in the future thatch roofing may be craftable from thatch only.
    • Feature: Added new Brown Sedge plant in wet/marshy areas in warmer climates. They drop dry grass
    • Feature: World generation updates
      • Fully reworked underground ruins
      • Added more comprehensive surface villages
      • Removed legacy blocks from trader outposts
      • Fixed topsoil generating underwater inside structures
      • Should fix ruins generating too deep by default. Modders: Please note, a worldgen structure offsetY now defaults to -1 (used to be 0)
      • Resonance Archives entrance improvements. The prominent sections of the shaft are now not repeated; internal water blocks removed if it happens to spawn in lake/ocean
      • Trader carts no longer spawn in the Arctic (nor in the Antarctic!)
      • Updated underground lakes to match the new ruins style
    • Feature: Added a stack randomizer for all Jonas items
    • Feature: Outdated mods will now be visually marked as outdated in the mod manager, with a warning sign
    • Feature: World Edit upgrades
      • Schematic import (and copying from clipboard) now previews a live version instead of half-transparent blue cubes
      • Major World Edit command rework based on Elvas' suggestions. Air brush placement quantity is now a % value instead of fixed value.
      • New option for Paint brush: Placement %
      • Move, Selection and Repeat tool can now also be operated by "Look direction" instead of N/E/S/W/U/D only
      • New constraint system. "/we constrain selection" constrains all World Edit operations to the current selection only. "/we constrain none" to return to default behavior
      • New flip system: "/we flip (n|e|s|w|u|d|l|x|y|z)" flips selected area in-place in given direction (cardinal, look direction or axis)
      • Fixed chisel brush icon black instead of white
      • Fixed major derps happening on block entities when using undo/redo after certain operations
      • Fixed schematic rotation: don't abort with exception if a block returns an invalid rotation, instead log an error and use unrotated variant
      • Added a couple of aliases to /we marked commands (e.g. /we minfo)
    • Feature: Added capability for server owners to compact savegames
      • /db vacuum: Recreate savegame to minimize disk space  (Note: there is a known issue if this is run from inside a Docker container, it will attempt to use the TMPFS in RAM and will therefore likely run out of disk space unless the TMPFS is sufficiently large)
      • /db prune [threshold] confirm: Deletes chunk columns where there are less than [threshold] player edits (player block placements/breakings) in game versions later than 1.18 - note that this also allows the game engine to refresh (re-generate) the world with latest version worldgen in all these areas (but the number of player edits is only counted since game version 1.18.0 or later was installed, so this feature would need to be used with care in savegames pre-dating 1.18.0, it may be that only recently active chunks, since the world was updated to 1.18.x, would be protected from deletion)
      • A full compact process looks like this:
        • /wgen autogen 0    (disable generation of chunks)
        • /db prune 5 confirm    (delete all chunks with less than 5 edits)
        • /db vacuum         (compact database)
    • Tweak: New main menu background images, most of which showcase new 1.19 content
    • Tweak: Can now shift+left click armor and wearables onto the player when the Character inventory is open
    • Tweak: Cosmetics / Easter Eggs
      • Show appreciation where it's due: new petseraph animation

    • Tweak: Game text fine tuning
      • Add item description for knife blade items, to help new players who might think that knife blades are actually knives
      • Removed the '(Experimental)' suffix to large world sizes. The game engine is now stable enough for large sizes.
      • More immersive "claimed by" error messaging, especially when in the Resonance Archives (simply reworded)
      • Renamed 3 blocks: Crimson King maple => Crimson maple, Green Spire cypress => Mediterranean cypress, Stone bricks => Ashlar blocks
      • Oiled hides mention a bit more on how curing them works
      • When the main menu offers to download a new update, the Confirm Update screen now has a link to the devlog entry
      • In the Main Menu, singleplayer world info hover box now only shows the differences from the default configuration
      • Updated some of the hover text for Settings menu (Resolution, Chunk upload rate limiter, Mouse modifiers locked to Sneak/Sprint)
      • Better hover info text on "landform scale" world config, changed selectable values to 20% increments instead of 10%
      • Add missing hotkey reminders for other interface settings
      • Dead animals now show in their block info if they got electrocuted
      • Omok table top now no longer displays food perish rate in block info

      • Over 200 sound files have been fine tuned for quality by reducing noise, eliminating popping sounds and more
      • Improved soundscape for glider gliding and Creative-mode flying
      • New eating sound for large animals
      • The Resonator Music is now affected by the music slider, instead of the ambient slider
    • Handbook tweaks
      • Handbook search now ignores diacritics in the search text  (and the same change for searching the Creative inventory)
      • Now also displays if an item can be obtained by harvesting a creature
      • Handbook entry for alum gives some details of where to find it
      • Jonas generator room equipment, and Gasifier, removed from the Handbook
      • Lamellar armor has the word 'armor' added to the name, so that it shows up in a search for "armor"
      • Added "Mechanical power part" description to mechanical power blocks to make them more easily findable in the Creative inventory and the Handbook
      • Implement Greenhouses mechanic explanation in the Handbook, and fix its lang strings
      • Fixed: Handbook text for mudbricks was missing the info that it is normal for them not always to drop anything when breaking the block
      • Fixed: Certain handbook links (e.g. for planks) not clickable, this was caused by a mismatched order of attributes set in the recipe and the handbook entry for the block/item, now we sort attributes when building the handbook references
    • Tweak: Improved command help
      • Add client-side .help command
      • Improved formatting of the help output in chat
    • Additional command tweaks:
      • Added commands .debug plrattr [path] and /entity cmd [selector] attr [path] to read player/entity attributes. Might help us narrow down the cause of "Dave" running during broad daylight and blood rain seen outside times of temporal instability
      • In the /entity command, added a new "id" entity selector, e.g. /entity remove e[id=1234]
      • New /entity cmd <entity> birth command to test entities' multiply behavior (could also feasibly be used by a command block)
      • Added command /entity cmd [selector] rmbh [code] to remove a behavior at runtime
      • Add optional kill radius parameter to command /entity wipeall
    • Multiplayer tweaks:
      • Multiplayer server screens: don't show the server password in clear text
      • Reduced default SpawnCapPlayerScaling from 0.75 to 0.5, as multiplayer servers with a large player count got completely flooded with drifters
      • When privilege allowcharselonce was not granted, show the player an error message instead of opening the dialog to reduce confusion
      • Added ability to individually enable world maps (in games where the map is normally disabled) using /player playername grant allowMap
    • Tweak: Removed unused workbench block from game
    • Additional visual tweaks and fixes
      • Tweak: Loose gears when placed now no longer move around visually or shift texture with each added gear past 2

      • Fixed: Aged fancy bed having incongruent bright green bed cover. The bed cover is now faded, aged green
      • Fixed: Water against solid/near-solid Microblocks is now rendered correctly
      • Fixed: Incorrect block breaking overlay on Bamboo
    • Lots of WorldEdit fine tuning
      • Tweak: Flood tool: rename "ignore rocks" to "ignore loose surface items" and include (loosesticks, loosestones, looseboulders, looseflints, looseores, loosegears) to be ignored
      • Tweak: Add /we exp as alias for /we export
      • Tweak: The UI tools no longer focus the first textbox in the tool options dialog when a new tool is selected (therefore, the user can still move normally using movement keys etc.)
      • Tweak: Import tool immediately has "From Clipboard" mode active, when the tool is selected, if there were already blocks in the clipboard: helps workflow
      • Tweak: Schematic placement preview can now be partially transparent, set this using command .clientconfig previewTransparency v where v is the desired transparency level between 0.0 (solid) and 1.0 (clear)
      • Tweak: Add command to disable right settings panel in the worldedit dialog: use command .we rsp on/off
      • Tweak: Delete, fill, and delete-nearby now also removes all entities within the affected area

      • Tweak: Save the FreeMoveAxisLock setting when exiting the game
      • Fixed: Importing of schematics exported from older game versions is now possible, we now remap the blocks and items on import
      • Fixed: Chiselblock and Microblock in schematics now also remap their materials on schematic import
      • Fixed: update temperature and transition state (perishable) for items inside containers and racks when importing schematics [Detail: since a schematic could be imported from an other game where a completely different amount of in-game time had passed]
      • Fixed: Schematics now also import/export the fluid layer
      • Fixed: Pipes, and other clutter blocks, which are rotated in schematics, now have their correct rotations even when the schematic is rotated when imported/placed
      • Fixed: Worldedit undo/redo now properly set blocks with water (when using undo it would leave behind flowing water)

      • Fixed: Multiple issues related to rotations of decors and fluid layer
      • Fixed: Issues with Mirror, Repeat and Move tool with water and decors

      • Fixed: Free floating single rock no longer popping off if AllowFallingBlocks is set to false
      • Fixed: Exception on /we shift shorthands (sms, smn,...)
      • Fixed: /we shift n 2 would always use 1 as the amount

          content: { type: "item", code: "pressedmash-*" },
          ...
          textureCode: "*"
      textureCode will now turn into "content-{domain:pathofcollectible}", so add "contents-pressedmash-blueberry": { base: "block/wood/trough/large/fruitmash" }, to use a custom texture for the content in the trough

      creatureDiet: {
          foodCategories: ["Grain", "Fruit", "Vegetable", "Protein"],
          foodTags: ["fruitmash"],
