Dear Extraordinary Survivalists
v1.19.2/3, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager
This update contains a list of carefully selected fixes and tuning that should not create any new issues. The Cave-Ins system should also work notably better / more intuitively with this update. More to come!
[Edit:] The game will crash when you try to use a 1.19.0 or 1.19.1 game client to connect to 1.19.2 server, updating to 1.19.2 fixes that, sorry!
[Edit2:] Also released 1.19.3 to fix aforementioned issue and some more new minor issues

Game updates
In 1.19.3
Tweak: Water deer males can now have "fangs", these appear seasonally, but drop no item
Tweak: Disable chiseling of cluttered bookshelf (attempts to chisel them would result in ? blocks/texture)
Tweak: Add redwood trunk sections (quarter log) as an additional type of logs in all recipes requiring wood logs
Fixed: In Multiplayer, players with game version 1.19.2 could still connect to 1.19.0 or 1.19.1 servers, leading to errors: 1.19.3 will refuse that connection
Fixed: Game crash when you die with a drawn bow in hands
Fixed: Rare crash (introduced in 1.19.2) with opened gates with chiseled blocks directly above them
Fixed: Goat horns would grow in reverse, starting large but growing smaller each year as the goat aged
Fixed: Water deer antlers were missing, causing log spam if water deer males were nearby
Fixed: Crate inventory info would not update when placed
Fixed: Unable to place knapping surfaces on top of chiseled blocks
Fixed: Goat horns when mounted were wrongly described as "antlers" in the English version of the game
Fixed: Placement failure of a knapping surface showed an error code instead of translated text
Fixed: Linux install.sh not reading the answer for mesa_glthread
Tweak: Smaller deer species, and (for now) Bighorn sheep, should not be able to jump 3-block high walls
Tweak: Falx damage applies 2 animation frames later, so damage strike should look better synced with the animated motion
Tweak: Shift-click now tries to target the most recently opened inventory first, then if it has no space the next most recent etc. (detail: but if there is a partial stack of the same item in another open inventory, shift-click will still prioritise adding into that partial stack first)
Tweak: Drifters can now also spawn on top of loose stones
Tweak: Brown bears were being found a bit too far into the North
Tweak: Basket trap now shows trapped creature info on block HUD info
Tweak: Added basket traps "How to Use" info to the Handbook
Visual tweaks:
Pony tails and side buns/braids given more adaptability to various headwear
Updated clutter bucket to match new bucket model
Sapling grown from seed now shows a smaller selection box in the seed stage, no longer looks like an invisible sapling
Marketeer clothing set mask returned to undermask form, worn on neck
Tweak: Sapling localization in English, "will sprout in 1 day" instead of "1 days"
Tweak: Localization: Localize most remaining unlocalized texts on the Graphics Settings menu, e.g. Low quality shadows
Tweak: Block randomizer can now now place blocks with behaviour "HorizontalAttachable" correctly onto an adjacent wall (toolrack, moldrack, shelf, torchholder, painting,...)
Tweak: Any "leaking memory" warning messages now moved from client-main log to client-debug log, these warnings are info for modders and developers, not for regular players!
Tweak: Added more credits to the Credits screen and removed some repeating lines; the full game credits are now also listed online
Tweak: Linux installation: Clean up install.sh [details: moved default install dir to $HOME/.local/share/vintagestory similar to other applications use for per user installed apps, check for needed tools at the beggining of the script, added mod install and url connect .desktop entries (you can now also 1 click install from moddb), users now can change the default install dir on running install.shm ask if you want to set vm.max_map_count if detected potentially too low (it seems since .NET7 it is not needed anymore but we will still keep it for now), add prompt to remove old installation if there was one at the install location]
Tweak: Linux installation: Allow spaces in paths in the server start script (server.sh)
Fixed: Animals with the ability to jump quite high (for example Bighorn sheep) no longer able to climb out of fenced enclosures if lanterns are above fences
Fixed: Preview Blocks feature in WorldEdit now only visible to the player who is currently using WorldEdit
Fixed: Ghost / duplicate items when using shift+click to move items between inventories, in Multiplayer
Fixed: Bighorn lambs and Goat kids were not trappable in basket traps
Fixed: Dupe glitch when catching tamed animals
Fixed: Reverted shift+click on armor and other wearables to dress the character with them, as it interfered with shift+click moving wearables between inventories
Fixed: In 1.19, while sleeping in a bed, distorted rendering of Mechanical Power components and some shadows

Guides in handbook could crash if clicking on links, if links badly formatted in translated text (GH #3496)
EntityItem loading occasionally hard-crashed clients if the itemID no longer exists (e.g. in some cases when playing a map created in an earlier game version)
Fixed rare crash from RenderDecals if there was a prior exception
Fixed rare client crash in Character menu
Animals added by mods, missing Diet attribute, would cause crashes in 1.19.1, now just logs a warning
If initialising a modded worldgen structure throws an exception, instead of crashing, log it and identify the structure
Fixed: Chute would only push items into the first slot of a crate
Fixed: Cave-In system behavior very odd: free-floating rock will now always collapse.
Fixed: Falling block render jitter, falling blocks not doing damage while falling
Fixed: Quicklime item invisible in inventory because drawn in strange position
Fixed: Water blocks flowing into farmland (e.g. from water block placed above) were invisible
Fixed: Visual z-fighting on windmill sails; and the linen on sails now has some thickness

Fixed: Jonas lamps would not illuminate the area when placed by worldgen
Fixed: When rotating a schematic with a chiseled block multiple times, it would cause an error
Fixed: Signs did not rotate with schematics
Fixed: Rifts not loaded from savegame
Fixed: Microblocks in ruins would be replaced by missing texture if attempt to chisel them some more; chiseling them is now fully disabled
Fixed: Microblocks in ruins were all named "Granite cobblestone" even if in fact a different rock
Fixed: Missing "killed by" localizations for moose, deer, goat, fox
Fixed: Minor typos in en.json English translation
Fixed: Linux: When running multiple servers with the server.sh and a similar SCREENNAME it would kill both servers on stop/restart
Fixed: macOS: Mac M1 and M2 issue, knapping and clayforming gridlines could cause the HUD to disappear
Fixed: macOS: Wrong default GUI size on new Mac installations, and other potential minor GUI scaling issues on Retina displays
API Fixed: DidPlaceBlock() not called on the last block in the stack
Dear Extraordinary Survivalists
v1.19.1, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager
Some kind of house/barn by nebux, shared in #screenshots
Game updates
Tweak: Tall ferns in planters now respect climate and seasonal tints
Tweak: Increased board cost of crate recipe to be closer to old recipes/grid/crate.json
Fixed: Widespread issue in 1.19.0, olive trees in the world would immediately crash the game client with a 'not present in Dictionary' error
Fixed: Other players invisible when in Immersive First Person mode
Fixed: colorAccurateWorldmap privilege could not be granted by command, now it can (use command /player <yourname> privilege grant colorAccurateWorldmap and note it is case-sensitive!)

Fixed: Directional Audio setting changes were not being respected in-game after a player returned to the main menu and re-launched a game
Fixed: A meta block was sometimes found in the trader caravans
Fixed: Eidolon having low health
Fixed: Tule tufts were climate colored
Fixed: Suppress the version string parsing warning in logs when a mod's modinfo.json uses a wildcard * in the Version string of a dependency
Fixed: Wooden crate sometimes not craftable in favour of wooden path (detail: shapeless recipes with a tool have typically 2304 possible perpuations of how the items can be laid out in the grid; one possible permutation of the wooden path shapeless recipe (8 boards in a circle, saw in center, making 4x wooden path) could sometimes override the crate recipe which had the same pattern; and there may be other examples of a shapeless recipe with a surprising permutation which overrides a shaped recipe; so now when crafting in the grid, the shapeless recipes are not checked until after all shaped recipes have been checked)
Fixed: Occasional crash when using Cleaver
Fixed: Butterflies in display cases were slightly askew
Fixed: Treasure chests had old crates
Fixed: Harts Tongue fern lost its seasonal coloring
Fixed: Fox pups now play a death animation
Fixed: Broken transparency in clutter hourglass
Fixed: Missing translation for lung capacity in world config screen
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
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
Entities standing on a rotating Quern now rotate as well
Tweak: Added tarnished steel beams
Tweak: Quartz vugs are more like geodes now!
Tweak: Added visual hints that the Library resonator (in the Resonance Archives) is interactable
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
Fixed: Liquid containers showing only first decimal place and thus rounding the value
Fixed: A 'claimed' error message appearing when igniting the coal pile in the Resonance Archives generator room
Tweak: Audio fine tuning
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
Tweak: Don't show < > buttons on books with only 1 page
Tweak: Improved sieve item textures
Tweak: Added more depth to Dry stone wall textures; visual tweaks
Tweak: Added copper rim to normal and tall display cases. Reduced opacity of aged tall display cases by 50%
Tweak: Replaced Resonance Archives clutter bed with updated model. Added colorful linen textures for mattress sides and pillow. Added shading texture overlay for mattress sides and pillow. Some changes to fancy bed with drapes
Tweak: Malefactor pendant now worn on neck, rather than emblem location
Tweak: Crowns, hoods, and other head-worn clothing are now 3D models. All crowns should be display-case-able
Fixed: Redwood beams: wood grain was in the wrong direction
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: Disabled several /we subcommands using the old naming scheme (mfill, mcopy, ...), use /worldconfigcreate bool legacywecommands true/false to toggle them
Tweak: Added ability to disable first person hands in the WorldEdit Controls Dialog
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]

So now it can be changed in WorldEdit when working with schematics, without affecting worldgen]
Tweak: Refactored most of the player entity related code in EntityShapeRenderer into EntityPlayerShapeRenderer
Tweak: new BlockPos() is now obsolete, please use new BlockPos(int dimensionId) or BlockPos.Copy() - this will help future dimensions code compatibility

Refactor: Block.GetHeatRetention() is now obsolete, please use GetRetention()
Refactor: Added IWorldAccessor argument to OnTransformed() method in IRotatable interface
Refactor: The assets packet that is sent to the client is now built after the server has launched. This creates *much* less headache when loading or modifying assets in code during startup

creatureDiet: {
foodCategories: ["Grain", "Fruit", "Vegetable", "Protein"],
foodTags: ["fruitmash"],
skipFoodTags: ["rice", "parsnip"]
},
Removed: Disabled gltf test object, gltf loading broken due to multi-atlas change (scream in #gamedev if you need this, lel)

Fixed: "Companions" section of entity spawning not behaving as one would expect. Originally had only and 80% chance of spawning the main entity and then 80% chance of spawning one of the companion codes. Now the main entity is always spawned first, and every subsequent entity is selected from the companions list. Also the spawner had an hidden bias towards preferring spawning baby creatures due to their smaller hitbox
Fixed: When on IServerPlayer.Disconnect() is called it would crash the client
Fixed: Multiple instance detection by using a named mutex (since net7)
