Hey everyone! Back again with another update. This one is a bit different from the previous ones. Instead of working on a bunch of different stuff over several updates, I decided to focus on getting the most requested feature by far done. You have probably figured out, that I am talking about Steam workshop support. Modding has always been a thing I wanted to support. But for modding to work, a game needs to have a decent playerbase and with that, modders. With the recent growth, we are definitely on the right track. You can already do a lot of stuff with modding, and it's only going to get better over time as support gets expanded. To kick off the workshop, I decided to create a small mod. If you subscribe to it, it will show up the next time you launch the game: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2824816332 If you're interested in modding, that's awesome and the documentation can be found on the wiki. I'm going to be expanding it over time, especially within the next few days. I'll also be available on the Official Discord Server, where you can ask questions and post requests on missing modding features. The interface has been a talking point for a long time, and this update is hopefully a step in the right direction. In the spirit of modding, the style of the interface is now completely moddable. With it, I have created a couple of different styles. You can try them out under interface settings. In a future update, one of them may become the default one.
Some of the other features in this update include:

• Updated boat textures.
• You can now lock items in your equipment, making it easy to swap without removing the lock.
• Banner stands can now be placed in arenas.
• Hotkeys for loot all, sort, quick stack and eat food.
• Preset Enchanting scrolls found in chests throughout the game.

And a bunch of other smaller changes and fixes! You can read the full changelog below. There is still a lot of space for improvements in modding and workshop support. Official mod configurations and automatically subscribing to server mods just to name a couple. I'm gonna be expanding this over the coming updates. For the first time in 3 years, I'm going to be taking a break from development. I will still be reading feedback, answering questions, writing down ideas and suggestions, and doing hotfixes. This also means for the first time since EA launch, there won't be an update next month and I will be back in August with the creative batteries fully recharged. I hope you have a great summer! - Fair
