Another update is available now! It introduces posters, signs, new crafting stations and several new items.
Posters enable you to upload custom images from your hard drive and place them in the world. Of course this also works in multiplayer, so other players can see these images. And of course you can also change the poster color. In addition to that, the new version also features "decals": they are similar to posters, but they're projected on the surface - this is quite handy if you want to place an image on an uneven surface, for example. You could use that for markings, or smaller details like fallen leaves on the ground etc.
In addition to posters and decals, this update introduces several writable signs. A new features is that you can change both the font and font size, but you can also set an arbitrary font color. Signs support rich text, so you can set a different style or color for parts of your text.
Apart from posters and signs, this update adds a lot more content to the game: There are two new crafting stations - a grinder and paper press. The grinder is used to crush cloth to rags or certain other items (like coal or sulfur) to powder, while the paper press is used to turn rags into paper.
You can now find wheat, which spawns randomly in your world. Collect it and use a grinder to turn it into flour, which can then be used to create dough for bread or cookies. Fittingly, there is now a masonry oven to bake the dough.
Apart from various other new items (e.g. a bow and arrow, bomb etc) and objects (e.g. several new doors), this update finally introduces some headgear: A medieval miner's helmet and two modern helmets with a lamp. The handling for clothes isn't fully ready yet, so to wear them, rightclick on the item and select "Wear". When wearing any of these helmets, press L to enable the light.
Last but not least this update contains several changes and bugfixes. We've reworked the color picker, fixed some multiplayer-related issues, and now the new version should finally work on Apple Silicon hardware again!
In addition to that, we've added new methods and made a lot of changes to the Plugin API - you can find the full changelog here: https://forum.rising-world.net/thread/12721
Stay tuned for the next updates! We'll now put a bigger focus on mounts, aggressive animals and biomes & caves :)
