This release is a minor patch for 0.4.0-alpha5 which fixes a number of reported issues. We're currently working on some pretty big changes for the next major release and are pressed for time, so this patch only a small set of issues.

Highlights

• Lag spikes caused by block updates should be significantly improved
• Fog effects now match those introduced in Minecraft 1.18.1
• Fixed a slow memory leak that would occur from fence objects being leaked
• Server view distance is now respected, preventing discrepancies between client/server
• Biome blending effects have been improved slightly
• World rendering bugs/flickering caused by being far away from world center (i.e. near the world border) no longer occurs

Known issues

• Some parts of the world may not load correctly unless the player exits and loads the world file again
