First of all: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL USERS! :)
A new update is available, which does not bring very much content, but a lot of important changes!
First of all, the game is delivered with an own JVM now. This means that it does not matter anymore which Java version is installed on your computer. Even if no Java is installed at all, that should be no problem.
Please note that this change only affects Windows, on MacOS, you simply need to install the JDK.
Apart from that, we added new LUA objects and events, for example events when players interact with chests. Effectively you can now restrict players to steal items from other players chests now via LUA scripts.
We are also updating our basic area protection script right now (so that objects, constructions and chests are now also protected), it will be available shortly.
This is another important step forward to prevent griefing.
Last but not least this update contains several smaller changes and some important bugfixes. See the full changelog below.
