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 update trailer Screenshots / Gifs Snowballs! Frosty-fight friends and foes alike snowballs.mp4 Added indoor rain ambience system Overhauled First-person mode: Now with hands! Cave-in system: Build support beams to prevent getting buried alive (only on by default in the Wilderness Survival mode) Added 11 species of deer and more! Added 11 types of goats Animal catching: Domesticated animals can be picked up with a basket. Wild animals can be trapped, if small enough. Added antlers and horns, which can be harvested and mounted on walls Fully reworked surface ruins Fully reworked underground ruins Reworked crystal vugs: Now with colorful coverage all around New Accessibility settings Added Command Handbook (in Creative mode) Added Scroll racks, also lets you store Tuning cylinders World map tweaks: No longer super revealing by default, but instead it displays your prospecting results Character selector tweaks: More canon hair colors, better randomizer and the ability to use your last selection from another world or server More chisel power: Now supports decors and topsoil Overhauled/new 3D models for troughs, buckets and seeds Added Tule and Sedge plants Added live preview during schematic import Added warning icon to outdated mods 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 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: bed-fency-open clutter block missing textures. 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] 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: Decors now get properly placed/removed with undo/redo Fixed: Multiple issues related to rotations of decors and fluid layer Fixed: Issues with Mirror, Repeat and Move tool with water and decors Fixed: Undo now removes any entities just spawned (note: entities spawn when doing import/place of schematic or copy of selection, but not on redo) Fixed: For schematics with entities, if one entity was not available then no entities were spawned; now it logs an error and spawns the remaining (available) entities 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 Fixed: Tapestries disappearing or changing or becoming rotten whenever a schematic is imported or copied... Fixed: MagicWand selection would cause to insert two historystates upon selection Fixed: WorldEdit selection would not properly update on various tools and undo/redo Fixed: WorldEdit move tool would move by a multiple of the amount set in the tool Fixed: WorldEdit operations (Move,Mirror,Repeat,Undo,Redo) now also include entities Water physics fine tuning Tweak: Water can "heal" slightly more easily if solid blocks placed in water and then removed (details: 2 direct neighbour source blocks + 3 diagonal neighbour source blocks is now enough to heal a position) Fixed: Water continuing to have surface flow after fully healed Fixed: A few edge-cases where water block flow was not updating on the diagonal neighbors Fixed: Block updates near the worldgen-created boundary between fresh water and salt water do not cause catastrophic collapse of water levels Tweak: Sound FX (sfx) fine tuning Feature: Walking through bushes (normal leaves, narrow leaves, berry bushes, fruit tree leaves) will now have a sfx for passing through Feature: New sounds for stepping on sticks (also fixed boulder's missing sfx) Tweak: Cooking pots can no longer be heard from an extreme distance away (could be heard more than 32 blocks away, previously) Tweak: Loose sticks now have a small collision box so that they trigger step sounds correctly Tweak: Leaf rustle and other Inside Block sounds now tied to position and movement with more precision Tweak: Many blocks that were missing sfx now have sfx assigned that fits with other blocks of the same type. Additionally normalized sludge walk sfx Tweak: Glass blocks now have a unique walk sfx Tweak: When sneaking, armor noises will now match with the lower volume of walk and inside sfx. (Sneaking previously only affected walking and inside walking sfx) Tweak: Walk sounds now respect the current block underfoot when walking along the edge of blocks Tweak: Additional wolf howl sfx, plus further cleanup of original wolf howl sfx (same for the pup). Fixed: Hot springs sludge sound not playing Fixed: Water step sound not playing when the liquid block contained other blocks Fixed: Glass slabs that used BlockSlabSnowRemove playing the rain ambient noise all the time Various fixes to the newly added indoor rain ambient sounds Tweak: Perfomance: Worldgen should run on average 33% faster in all games (YMMV, depends on terrain and servermagicnumbers config, less impact on high-end systems). Additional further up to ~20% when enabling multi-threaded worldgen in servermagicnumbers.json by specifying "MaxWorldgenThreads": 4 (or other numbers in the range 1-6 are possible) Tweak: Add a proper maximized Borderless windowed option and fix related weird window behaviour Tweak: Added a warning to serverconfig.json in non-dedicated server installations that edits in this file also affect single player worlds, which is a common source of confusion Tweak: New command .timelapse <interval-in-days> <duration-in-months> for taking a set of timelapse photographs of the same spot over several hours, days or seasons: find the images in folder Pictures/Vintagestory/timelapse (note: as currently implemented the world does not actually change while the photographs are being taken, for example crops will not grow, snow will not fall, this is intended only for seeing the visual changes of the changing time of day or changing seasons) Tweak: In Extended Debug mode (.edi), add the Axis directions to the coordinates HUD Tweak: Added "Color Accurate Worldmap" world config to enable the previous, full color map style Tweak: Slightly increase the chance for hail Tweak: Termite mounds now have some variance in termite drops, and the larger mounds drop more.

For WorldEdit this parameter is now set using /we replace-meta true/false [default false]. During worldgen it is always true. 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 Tweak: Trade items can specify AttributesToIgnore (see Treasure Hunter trader for an example); can also be done using a single wildcard * for the attribute value Tweak: IWorldChunk.ContainsBlock() method for quickly checking whether or not the chunk contains a specific block ID Tweak: Minor Mini Dimensions code improvements: Players now prevented from flying above height y = 20,480 EntityPos now contains rudimentary dimension support Dimensions boundary (when stored in x,y,z coordinate space) increase from 16384 to 32768 Graceful failure with an error message, if the maximum count of 16.7 million Mini Dimensions is exceeded in a save game Fixed startup crash if ImportTool is already active, and TestShip y-position jitter Tweak: Restore previous functionality of BlockPos(Vec4i vec) constructor Tweak: Can now define animation for the firestarter (e.g. via attributes: { igniteAnimation: "startfire" }) and for shield block (create anim called shieldBlock) Tweak: Allow wearables to be eyeprotective, which if worn have the effect that the player does not put hands up to protect the face in strong winds Tweak: Entity hud info box now shows entity code in extended debug info mode Tweak: In IBlockAccessor, position-based methods with BlockPos parameters should be used where possible in place of x, y, z parameters, for future dimension compatibility Tweak: Include OpenTK.Audio.OpenAL.dll and OpenTK.Mathematics.dll in server builds since native libs are already there Tweak: Added possibility for contentConfig to in trough to allow wildcards in content to have custom textures: 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 Tweak: Various tweaks on the new first person animations mode.

Added Collectible.HeldPriorityInteract Refactor: IRenderAPI.GetItemStackRenderInfo new argument: dt Refactor: Method BlockEntity.OnPlacementBySchematic() has now 2 more arguments for the rocktype info Refactor: Fox entity types now in one file instead of six.

This creates *much* less headache when loading or modifying assets in code during startup Refactor: Trough / Creature diet system rewrite. A creature's food preference is now in each entity type, instead of partially in the trough code. Food preference is now detached from specific itemstacks instead it is defined by FoodCategories, FoodTags and SkipFoodTags.

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) Fixed: CollectibleBehavior.OnHeldAttack* methods where not getting called Fixed: Underground ruins would not spawn with decors/overlays Fixed: Loading order issues when modding in new cave art Fixed: Game crash when only partially specifying the held sound set Fixed: Multiple moddability issues in several blocks and items (BehaviorDecor, BlockIngotMold, BlockToolMold, BlockWateringCan, BESign, ItemBow, ItemHoneyComb, ItemStone, ItemWrench, Func<T>, IBlockAccessor.GetInterface() removed, GetHeldInteractionHelp() Fixed: BeginSubs and BeginSubcommands would not add the aliases properly Fixed: WorldReady server startup event not being triggered Changes since 1.19.0-rc.8 (also listed above) Tweak: New main menu background images, most of which showcase new 1.19 content Tweak: Omok table top now no longer displays food perish rate in block info Tweak: Quartz vugs are more like geodes now!

The reason is essentially that this rc1 release is too new for Windows Defender to recognise it: we are working with Microsoft on this and it should improve as time passes. If you get the popup warning, to install the release, please click "More info" and then allow it to continue.) One broken central heating system, one leaking roof due to ice buildup and one appendectomy later (and that's only Tyron!) the team are at long last able to bring you our next major update! As mentioned in the 1.19.0-pre.1 blog post, our goal for this update was the polishing of existing game mechanics and some clean up of the game engine code. As usual, we also added just one or two new features into the game at the same time. In total this resulted in about 450 features, tweaks and fixes. A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who tested the pre-releases of 1.19 - your feedback is very valuable to us! We're glad we could get out the rc.1 release just before christmas, so with that in mind, we wish you Merry Christmas! Can I start playing 1.19 now? We are decently confident that your old (or new) worlds will not break. If you want to be on the safe side though, wait until the stable release. Still unfinished Wild animal trapping needs tuning and we'll likely add re-bindable mouse buttons to the game controls settings before stable. The new first- person mode will also very likely receive further tuning. Game update trailer Screenshots (of new stuff since pre.1) Added 11 types of goats Snowballs! Frosty-fight friends and foes alike snowballs.mp4 All underground ruins fully reworked Added antlers and horns, which can be harvested and mounted on walls Added indor rain ambience system Added Tule and Sedge plant Added warning icon to outdated mods Game updates Everything listed in the 1.19.0-pre.1 devlog post Feature: Added 11 types of goats Feature: Added new Music track "Arctic Winds" for the polar regions 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: Added 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 mounts Feature: Added new rain ambient sounds to rain-exposed glass (glass windows or glass ceilings) Feature: Added new rock-typed rubble blocks for the new ruins (creative mode only at the moment) Feature: Added one more room to the Resonance Archives. Various tweaks and fixes Feature: Rough implementation of wild animal trapping (WIP) Feature: Added 3 new beards in the character selection screen 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 will be craftable from thatch only. Feature: Added new Brown Sedge plant in wet/marshy areas in warmer climates. They drop dry grass Feature: Microblocks, such as the chiselled blocks in ruins, can now be excavated from soil. Cobble microblocks drop stones when broken Feature: Outdated mods will now be visually marked as outdated in the mod manager, with a warning sign 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 Tweak: Gameplay balancing 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: 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.

Fixed: /we shift n 2 would always use 1 as the amount Fixed: Tapestries disappearing or changing or becoming rotten whenever a schematic is imported or copied... Fixed: MagicWand selection would cause to insert two historystates upon selection Fixed: WorldEdit selection would not properly update on various tools and undo/redo Fixed: WorldEdit move tool would move by a multiple of the amount set in the tool Fixed: WorldEdit operations (Move,Mirror,Repeat,Undo,Redo) now also include entities Water physics fine tuning Tweak: Water can "heal" slightly more easily if solid blocks placed in water and then removed (details: 2 direct neighbour source blocks + 3 diagonal neighbour source blocks is now enough to heal a position) Fixed: Water continuing to have surface flow after fully healed Fixed: A few edge-cases where water block flow was not updating on the diagonal neighbors Fixed: Block updates near the worldgen-created boundary between fresh water and salt water do not cause catastrophic collapse of water levels Tweak: Visual fine tuning Feature: Added crystal layer decor block for all crystal types (to be used in a future crystal vug rework) Tweak: Fixed godray ray directions. Before, the rays would not exactly start from the center of the sun. Increased god ray intensity and fine-tuned its shader Tweak: More haptic menu buttons Tweak: Added copper rim to normal and tall display cases. Reduced opacity of aged tall display cases by 50%. Added 4 variants of aged firepit clutter. Tweak: Improved sieve item textures. Added clothing drying rack clutter. Some changes to fancy bed with drapes.

Additionally normalized sludge walk sfx Tweak: Glass blocks now have a unique walk sfx Tweak: When sneaking, armor noises will now match with the lower volume of walk and inside sfx. (Sneaking previously only affected walking and inside walking sfx) Tweak: Walk sounds now respect the current block underfoot when walking along the edge of blocks Tweak: Additional wolf howl sfx, plus further cleanup of original wolf howl sfx (same for the pup). Fixed: Hot springs sludge sound not playing Fixed: Water step sound not playing when the liquid block contained other blocks Fixed: Glass slabs that used BlockSlabSnowRemove playing the rain ambient noise all the time Various fixes to the newly added indoor rain ambient sounds Tweak: Worldgen should run on average 33% faster in all games (YMMV, depends on terrain and servermagicnumbers config, less impact on high-end systems). Additional further ~20% when enabling multi-threaded worldgen in servermagicnumbers.json by specifying "MaxWorldgenThreads": 4 (or other numbers in the range 1-6 are possible) Tweak: Add a proper maximized Borderless windowed option and fix related weird window behaviour Tweak: Added firepit clutter blocks, clothes drying rack clutter block, another variant of aged tall display case, another variant of a ruined bed Tweak: Added various human and animal skeleton clutter blocks: like other clutter blocks these are rotatable Tweak: Add item description for knife blade items, to try to help new players who think that knife blades are knives Tweak: Added a warning to serverconfig.json in non-dedicated server installations that edits in this file also affect single player worlds, which is a common source of confusion Tweak: Added "/dev settranslateable true" command to mark a looked at sign block as translateable Tweak: New command .timelapse <interval-in-days> <duration-in-months> for taking a set of timelapse photographs of the same spot over several hours, days or seasons: find the images in folder Pictures/Vintagestory/timelapse (note: as currently implemented the world does not actually change while the photographs are being taken, for example crops will not grow, snow will not fall, this is intended only for seeing the visual changes of the changing time of day or changing seasons) Tweak: In Extended Debug mode (.edi), add the Axis directions to the coordinates HUD Tweak: new /entity cmd <entity> birth command to test entities' multiply behavior (could also feasibly be used by a command block) Tweak: Don't crash on invalid block entities Tweak: Added "Color Accurate Worldmap" world config to enable the previous, full color map style Tweak: Avoid a crash on an incorrectly created crucible itemstack Tweak: Slightly increase the chance for hail 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 Tweak: Updated some of the hover text for Settings menu (Resolution, Chunk upload rate limiter, Mouse modifiers locked to Sneak/Sprint) Tweak: Better hover info text on "landform scale" world config, changed selectable values to 20% increments instead of 10% Tweak: Add missing hotkey reminders for other interface settings Tweak: Termite mounds now have some variance in termite drops, and the larger mounds drop more.

This creates *much* less headache when loading or modifying assets in code during startup Refactor: Trough / Creature diet system rewrite. A creature's food preference is now in each entity type, instead of partially in the trough code. Food preference is now detached from specific itemstacks instead it is defined by FoodCategories, FoodTags and SkipFoodTags.

One for first person mode, another for third person/shadow pass Tweak: Bows can now define custom aim animations via aimAnimationCode attribute Tweak: Knife can now define custom attack and block break animation via attributes knifeHitBlockAnimation and knifeHitEntityAnimation Tweak: Cleanup XML documentation (mainly missing/old parameter names) Tweak: added "resolveImport" parameter to OnLoadCollectibleMappings to disable resolving on WorldEdit commands [Detail: old method remains but is marked obsolete and redirect to the new method with resolveImport defaulting to true. For WorldEdit this parameter is now set using /we replace-meta true/false [default false]. During worldgen it is always true. 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 Tweak: Trade items can specify AttributesToIgnore (see Treasure Hunter trader for an example); can also be done using a single wildcard * for the attribute value Tweak: IWorldChunk.ContainsBlock() method for quickly checking whether or not the chunk contains a specific block ID Tweak: Minor Mini Dimensions code improvements: Players now prevented from flying above height y = 20,480 EntityPos now contains rudimentary dimension support Dimensions boundary (when stored in x,y,z coordinate space) increase from 16384 to 32768 Graceful failure with an error message, if the maximum count of 16.7 million Mini Dimensions is exceeded in a save game Fixed startup crash if ImportTool is already active, and TestShip y-position jitter Tweak: Restore previous functionality of BlockPos(Vec4i vec) constructor Tweak: Can now define animation for the firestarter (e.g. via attributes: { igniteAnimation: "startfire" }) and for shield block (create anim called shieldBlock) Tweak: Allow wearables to be eyeprotective, which if worn have the effect that the player does not put hands up to protect the face in strong winds Tweak: Entity hud info box now shows entity code in extended debug info mode Fixed: Underground ruins would not spawn with decors/overlays Fixed: Loading order issues when modding in new cave art Fixed: Game crash when only partially specifying the held sound set Fixed: Multiple moddability issues in several blocks and items (BehaviorDecor, BlockIngotMold, BlockToolMold, BlockWateringCan, BESign, ItemBow, ItemHoneyComb, ItemStone, ItemWrench, Func<T>, IBlockAccessor.GetInterface() removed, GetHeldInteractionHelp() Fixed: BeginSubs and BeginSubcommands would not add the aliases properly Fixed: WorldReady server startup event not being triggered Changes since 1.19.0-pre.10 Tweak: Added managed/total memory to /stats and debug screen Tweak: Update community translations Tweak: All neck wearables are now 3d format.

No, there won't be a Vintage Story 2, as there is no need for it. The planned content on the roadmap is enough for 2 decades of a great many content, and none of it is limited by the engine, as far as I can forsee. For what its worth, I am easily annoyed by bad code, so there are component rewrites in most major updates of VS. If you have this concern because we seem to publish bugfix patches notably more often than other gamedev companies - it is because (at least) I follow the RERO principle, and in my opinion, is one of the reasons why we can produce new content faster than other gamedev companies. I don't see how we could possibly end up in a bankruptcy position. Bankruptcy happens when you cannot pay back debt - Anego Studios SIA has no debt. Should we, contrary to the 6 year long trend of growing sales, really end up with a drop in sales, we can quite smoothly scale back development. Before it even gets to that - releasing on Steam would likely also increase sales multifold. And contrary to the usual startup culture, we are not doing stupid financial decisions, grow at breackneck speeds, get millions from investors, take on large liabilities and then sell off the company for billions... When I set out to create the best sandbox survival experience that I can, I not only look at the players in-game experience, but also everything involved in that creating experience, including engine architecture and long term financial viability.

Chopping bug is now fixed in pre.3

should be "/worldconfig blockGravity sandgravelsoilcaveins" Thanks for the feedback, we'll fix those issues, none of it is intentional

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.19.0-pre.1, a preview release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). We are proud to present, our next major update to Vintage Story! The working title for this update was "Dejank Redux" - polishing of existing game mechanics. In fact, it started out with a gigantic list of items from each team member on what they individually felt could need addressing, we then narrowed it down to just a small handful. Those plans included a revisit to the death and reviving mechanics, but that became displaced in favour of a cleanup/upgrades on the game engine itself, as well as many other tweaks that also felt befitting to the title of "Dejank". As usual, some new features always manage to sneakily sneak into our updates As with our previous updates, we continue our tradition of challenging the status quo of what this game engine can do - this time primarily by introducing a new concept we call Mini Dimensions. It is our hope that once this tech has matured, it will enable all kinds of movable multiblock shenanigans. We are excited to explore this new frontier with you, dear Community! Juicy Engine Tech a-plenty This update contains a lot of new and improved engine tech that will enable new types of game play while also ensuring that the engine still has plenty of room for the game to grow. Mini Dimension System: There is now rudimentary support for world chunks to be rendered into the game world independent of their position in the standard map system. In the long term, this should allow for multiblock vehicles and other wicked mechanical shenanigans. As a first proof of concept, when importing schematics (or copying from the clipboard) through World Edit, you can now see a live preview of all blocks, positioned using this system. For technical info, see our documentation file: movchunks public notes.txt Unlimited textures: The textures for blocks, items and entities are no longer limited to a single texture atlas. Therefore, mods which add a lot of new textures should never run out of texture atlas space again! This multi-atlas system was partially included since the game's early days and is now finally complete. New First-person mode: Took a lot of tuning, but visible hands are finally a thing now Wearable animation support: Items that the player wears can now be animated. This is important for some clothing types such as skirts. Animation system v2: A new data format, more compatible to other animation formats, such as the one made with Blender (use with Blender still relies on a community made converter, however) Connected textures: Rudimentary support for this now exists, to allow e.g. a 64x64 texture be mapped onto 2x2x2 blocks Chat commands code rewrite: In v1.18 we introduced a new API for commands - one that would allow for automatic documentation and future capability for a command auto-complete feature. In v1.19 the monumental effort of migrating hundreds of existing commands to this new API is now complete! World Edit commands consistency overhaul: The World Edit system grew organically over time, and it was a prime candidate for a revisit. We introduced a new, consistent command naming scheme and also filled in some gaps in its feature set. More de-jank to come still. Chiseling system upgrades: We continue our efforts towards ever tighter integration of chiseled blocks as a "first class citizen". Chiseled blocks now support decor layers, naturally integrate into the terrain when they are part of a ruin, and can become submerged in soil. Please note 1. This first preview release is an unfinished update, mostly intended for modders and very adventurous players. You will encounter major bugs, incomplete features, possible performance issues and crashes. 2. Further preview releases (including fixes for bugs in pre.1) will only be posted in Discord #news and on info.vintagestory.at and not on this blog. As usual, a new v1.19 blog post will then come when the first full release candidate (rc.1) is ready 3. If testing 1.19 on an old world from 1.18 or earlier, we strongly recommend making a backup copy before loading the world in 1.19. Still planned for rc.1 Many of the new mechanics and game content in this preview are in a rough state, especially the new deer, ruins and new First-person mode. They will require a lot of tuning and tweaking before we can go stable. Also wild animal catching is still unfinished. Screenshots / Gifs Overhauled First-person mode: Now with hands! WIP Cave-in system: Build support beams to prevent getting buried alive (only on by default in the Wilderness Survival mode) Added 11 species of deer and more! WIP (Antlers still missing) Animal catching: Domesticated animals can be picked up with a basket Fully reworked ruins. Very much still a work in progress (WIP), they don't all fully spawn yet. New Accessibility settings Added Command Handbook (in Creative mode) Added Scroll racks, also lets you store Tuning cylinders World map tweaks: No longer super revealing by default, but instead it displays your prospecting results. (WIP) Character selector tweaks: More canon hair colors, better randomizer and the ability to use your last selection from another world / server More chisel power: Now supports decors and topsoil Overhauled/New 3D models for troughs, buckets and seeds Added live preview during schematic import Game updates Feature: Overhauled First-person mode (WIP): Now a hybrid between the old standard fp mode and the Immersive fp mode.

Tweak: Added ability to adjust temporal instability waviness in the new Accessibility tab 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 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 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) Added more depth to Dry stone wall textures.

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 Feature: Ability to catch small tamed animals (generation 5+) with an empty reed chest. Requires one free backpack slot Feature: Raccoon and Fox pups now spawn in the world 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.

Instead of a dialog about the Handbook overlaid when the game first starts, now when launching the game for the first time, 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.

To manually render such meshref, use api.Render.RenderMultiTextureMesh() Refactor: Renamed Block.PriorityInteract to PlacedPriorityInteract. Added Collectible.HeldPriorityInteract Refactor: IRenderAPI.GetItemStackRenderInfo new argument: dt Refactor: Method BlockEntity.OnPlacementBySchematic() has now 2 more arguments for the rocktype info Refactor: Fox entity types now in one file instead of six.

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) Fixed: CollectibleBehavior.OnHeldAttack* methods where not getting called View full record

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.14/15, a stable release, can now be downloaded in the client area. [Edit:] Also released 1.18.15 to fix the game crashing from carving pumpkins. Throughout the month of October you can use your chisel to make Jack'O'Lanterns! As announced some time ago on Discord, the entire VS team will be meeting for the first time in London next week! That means, we might be a bit slow processing support tickets from 12th to 15th of October. But also, if you are in the London area, you can come say hello IRL on October 13th, 2.00 to 3.00 pm, we will gather on east side of Royal Victoria Square! This is adjacent to the ExCeL exhibition centre in London Docklands area, the location of the gaming industry show, EGX. In the morning on this day we will also be hanging around EGX ourselves! In other news, there is a rather significant performance and memory leak in a 1.18 dedicated server due to its nature to slowly accumulate the load over time, this 1.18.14 release fixes this. The next major update - 1.19 - is progressing nicely! There are already over 150 individual changes, tweaks and fixes. You can expect to see a preview version (i.e. 1.19.0-pre.1) this month still. Secret attic research room by anyanana, shared on discord Game updates Fixed: Liquid contents in buckets invisible Fixed: Slow but accumulating RAM and performance leak on dedicated servers, which required daily restarts to prevent overload on Linux View full record

Eh yea, thats not intended. Will be fixed in 1.19

Uh, no idea how we've missed this for 4 months but advocating for piracy in any form on here is not appropriate. The games purchasing and refund options are sufficient. Low income countries is simply something we cannot serve properly at this point in time.

no, this is part of the 1.19 update

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.11/12/13, a stable release, can now be downloaded in the client area. In one of the recent updates we seem to have broken the Windows auto-updater. This version fixes this, but you still will need to update to 1.18.11 manually through the client area. It also fixes a large memory leak in single player when you leave and reopen worlds without restarting the game. [Edit:] Also released 1.18.12 to fix a missing translation entry and also add a new "Direct Mouse Mode" settings for those with mouse speed issues. Also the Windows installer no longer requires admin privileges. [Edit:] Also released 1.18.13 to fix 2 bugs with the Windows installer Screenshot by Jet, shared in #screenshots on Discord Game updates Feature: New "Direct Mouse Mode" setting in the mouse settings, off by default. Switch it on for 1:1 mouse mapping which should by-pass any OS mouse acceleration and speed settings. The effects will vary from system to system depending on how your mouse is set up in your OS for non-gaming use. Fixed: The in-game auto-update from game version 1.18.9 was becoming stuck on Windows Fixed: Very large memory leak when leaving and reopening single player worlds without restarting the game Fixed: Wooden club and spear link not clickable in the Starter Guide Fixed: Creature "Dave" always visible on max view distance and leg movement not in sync Fixed: Removed "experimental voice" hover text in the Create Character dialog, as these voices are no longer experimental!
