World Builder changelog

🪛 Fixed

• The Tab menu and H key legend now work when you've joined someone else's world
• The world creator panel no longer squishes its controls together — sections now open one at a time

🧼 Improved

• Joining a world now drops you in gently from above — no more falling through the ground on arrival
• Stopping your server now politely disconnects everyone with a clear message
• Public Worlds browser joins now check build compatibility before connecting

🪛 Fixed

• The Tab menu now reliably opens for players who joined a friend's world
• Typing in the join code box is visible again
• Players who leave no longer linger as motionless bodies in the world
• Reconnecting after a session should no longer require restarting the game (have players leave before stopping your server)
• Removed console log spam

⚠️ Known Issues

• If a join times out on a machine's very first launch, restart Steam once and try again

🎁 Added

• All-new Public Worlds browser — a clean pop-up listing every public world with player counts and one-click Join
• See your friends on the minimap — other players show as rings alongside your dot
• New options: turn name tags on/off and set their draw distance (up to Unlimited)

🧼 Improved

• Name tags now appear when you're near a player (10 m by default, adjustable) instead of across the whole world
• The world overview still shows every player's name marker at any distance

🪛 Fixed

• Joining a world no longer drops you through the ground — your character waits for the terrain to be solid
• The same protection covers mid-session world reshapes for everyone connected
• If you ever end up below the world, you blink back to spawn instead of falling forever
• The Tab menu now works for players who joined by typing a friend code

⚠️ Known Issues

• The s&box main-menu JOIN GAME button may not find freshly created worlds — use a friend code, Steam invite, or the in-game Public Worlds browser

🎁 Added

• Public world browser — find and join public worlds right from the menu, no code needed
• Full menu for joined players — attire, options, invite code, player list, and leave server
• Push to talk (X) and lantern toggle (L) now shown on the key legends

🧼 Improved

• Other players now properly walk, run, and jump instead of sliding around
• The glider now glides automatically as you fall — no need to hold the button
• Balloons and gliders are now held correctly by other players
• Name tags show real player names and sit neatly above the head
• Brush controls are easier to read, and tree planting starts at a lighter density
• The world menu scrolls when it gets tall, and typing a friend code works reliably
• Cleaner status bar when connected to a friend's world, plus assorted text polish

🪛 Fixed

• The lantern (and jetpack flames) now glow in the published game, not just in testing
• The water brush now digs ponds on flat and sloped ground — it previously did nothing
• The smooth brush now actually smooths terrain — it previously did nothing

🚯 Removed

• Removed a confusing status line on the world screen that looked like a broken counter

⚠️ Known Issues

• A doubled player body was spotted once while holding the grapple — this update ships a preventative fix; please report if you ever see it again
• Other players who are swimming may briefly show a standing pose
