Hi folks! A new update is finally available! It took longer than expected, but introduces some interesting features. Most important feature of this update is a map. This should help you to navigate through the world. The map provides a detailed representation of the world, has several levels of zoom and also allows you to place markers.
In order to create a map, you will get in touch with more new content: This update introduces a paper press, which can be used to turn cloths to rags, and rags to paper. To use it, first put some cloths on the press, push the press down to turn it into rags, then add some water to the rags (by using a bucket) and push the press down again.
Of course this update also introduces more things: new dungeons (a desert pyramid as well as a underground maze [if a maze spawns, it will be connected to pyramids]), several new plants (corn, sugarbeet, chili etc), new options for server admins, lots of changes to the plugin/modding API (we will release a separate changelog for this) and much more. And - as usual - we also fixed a lot of bugs, especially some Mac related issues. Find the full changelog attached. The next update will introduce the new playermodels, expect a preview in the near future. Stay tuned :) ______________________________
