Hey everyone!
Update 7 is live, including colored torches that you can craft with newly added blue and green flowers, more realistic ore spawning and fixes for crashes.
Colored torches
Two new types of flowers were added to the game, a green flower and a blue flower. These two types of flowers are quite rare, so they are not as easy to find as the existing red and white flowers.
Once you found such a flower, you can collect dye from it with having the hand selected on one controller, overlapping the flower and pressing the trigger button.
Crafting a colored torch works with the same recipe as a regular torch, you just have to add dye on top of it. A colored torch recipe gives you 1 torch in your inventory, not 4 torches like with the regular torch. Currently you can craft a green torch and a blue torch. More colors will be added in future updates. Make sure to tell us in the forums or in the discord what colors you wan't to see!
Also, the radius a torch illuminates was increased, this affects both regular and colored torches.
Adjusted ore spawning
In earlier versions of the game, ores were generated as one big solid area of ore somewhere in the ground. In this new version, ores no longer consist of one big solid area, but instead they are spread out over a slightly bigger area with many regular stone blocks in between the ore blocks.
When you find a piece of coal or copper in the ground and you don't immediately see a second coal/copper block next to it, you can no longer assume that nothing is left - there might just be a stone block in between. This makes mining more exciting and realistic!
Also, iron ore was added to the game. You can't use it for anything yet, it's just preperation for a future update.
Fixes for crashes
In this update a bunch of crashes that were reported in the official forums and the official discord were fixed. If you still see any crashes or other bugs, please make sure to read this thread and report them correctly so that they can be fixed in the next update.
You need to walk into new parts of the world to see the new things
If you are playing with an "old" world, to find the blue flower, the green flower, the new ore spawning or iron ore you need to walk into parts of the world where you have never been before. Existing parts of the world generated with the "older" world generation do not include the new things yet.
