Y19W38a

New school year, new snapshots. We are back for another nine-month’s work on this ultimate project. In this snapshot, we bring you loads of changes, ranging from small, minor tweaks to new features.

Thanks for the features you’ve requested on PlanetMinecraft, as this is very appreciated. You know, you can also send a message to me through PMC for feature requests, or use the bug tracker for reporting issues about the map.

An important feature that needs to be pointed out is that our default hub is now at the new location, rather than the classic. Of course, you can go into settings just by using the new function command (listed below) to gain access to the map preferences to switch to Classic Gameplay (formerly Experimental Gameplay)

An Important Notice Regarding Texture Pack Development
From this snapshot on, all textures that are modified will be used through a Photoshop Alternative known as Acorn, as rumor has it that Adobe Photoshop CS5 no longer supports macOS Mojave (even though it's 32-bit), according to the IT of the laptop being used.
