QUALITY FOF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS

• Lowered the brightness of the Lava
• Reduced the intensity of the Bloom FX slightly
• Slowed down the spawning of objects that get dropped by mined objects to improve performance.
• The system for Saving and Loading chunks has been overhauled for better performance and prevention of bloated saves. This will help reduce heavy frame drops and stuttering during chunk loading.

• Updated the Loading Screen Gameplay Tips.
• Applied the Unity Security Update Patch.

THE DEMO
