As we covered earlier than throughout the release Candidate stage, certainly one of the massive options for users in this launch is vastly simpler modding with both small mod packs and total games.

No more downloading one mod, then discovering all the person bits it needs.
The built-in base sport "Minetest Sport" also went by way of a few enhancements. Whereas fairly bare-bones by itself, it does serve as a nice base to exhibit the engine and for extending with mods. With Minetest 5.4.0 it now has a crafting guide, 5 extra wood variants, environmental sounds for lava and active furnaces, new translations and multiple bug fixes. So it continues the sluggish and regular construct-up into something a bit greater out of the field.
Other new features embody the cross-hair changing when pointing at objects, freely bindable mouse buttons, identify-tags for players now have a semi-transparent background, there's a caverns possibility for the flat map era, the 'place' and 'fig' keys are now freely configurable, a lot of modding enhancements and loads of bug fixes general like stopping gamers being able to accessing inventories of others.
