Hi Wilburites, happy Wilbur wednesday!
We've got a ton of new fixes in this week, as well as a new feature update that should make discovering new biomes -- like Clouds -- easier!
This week, we're taking off from the YouTube livestreams, but you can always catch the previous weeks' replays in this playlist! In its place, we've released another new Meet the Devs blog, this time introducing our software engineer, Neriah Benoit! You can read it for free and give us a follow over on Patreon.
