Hello, Thanks for your patience waiting for this next update. I'd like to give you a quick overview of what's coming up soon... Where are versions 1.17, 1.18 and 1.19? Thrown under the bus. Forget about them. They don't exist. Joking aside, the current goals of the project were initially being split up into smaller updates, these updates would have taken us from 1.16 up to 1.19, however I thought it would be best to combine everything into a larger 2.0 update.

Name your islands Bug fixes and QoL improvements Sneaky Peak! Sneaky screenshot time! In this image you will see the new UI, the island list, new tooltips and rain. That's all for now until the update drops, I still have quite a lot of work to d…
