Update 1.1.2 is now live! This update focuses on quality-of-life improvements, increased view distances, easier server access, and several important bug fixes.
Quality-of-Life Improvements
* Added a Tree Felling mod, making it faster and easier to cut down entire trees.
* Increased the server Render Distance from 12 to 16 chunks.
* Increased the server Simulation Distance from 10 to 12 chunks.
These changes should make the world feel more expansive while allowing mobs, farms, redstone, and other nearby activity to remain active from farther away.
Texture Pack Changes
To help resolve issues players have experienced while joining the server, the official Frontier texture pack is no longer required to connect.
The texture pack is still *highly recommended* for the intended Frontier experience and includes custom textures, names, and other visual changes.
You can manually download and install the latest version from Settler Info. Installing it manually will also prevent the server from needing to force-download the pack every time you join.
Bug Fixes
* Fixed an issue causing horses to randomly disappear.
* Fixed an issue causing arrows to randomly disappear.
* Fixed several other smaller bugs and issues.
Thank you all for continuing to report issues and provide feedback as we work to improve The Frontier.
Happy exploring!
