Hi folks! It took a long time, but finally the long anticipated water update is available :) You will find water in ponds and lakes, randomly spread over the world, as well in big oceans. Please note that this is only static water, in other words, it does not adapt to the terrain when you dig up the banks of a lake, for example. But it's our intention to implement dynamic water in the long run. There are of course a lot of other new features, like the ability to drink water (key F), or new vegetations and objects, as well as several bugfixes. You find an overview of all changes in the changelog. If you have trouble loading an old world, please let us know.


Have fun :) _______________________________________________
