PATCH AT A GLANCE

Quick take

A small bug fixing patch for today, vikings! Due to some internal restrictions, the patch will require a few days to get uploaded to all platforms. Despite this, however, crossplay will still remain functional, so you can keep playing with your friends regardless of what platform you’re on.

Main focusPatch Notes
  • Fixed a rare bug that could erase all objects in parts of the world when one large world save chunk file was split into smaller ones.
  • Fixed invalid item types (most importantly invalid shield of root variant that was available in 1.0.15 on PlayStation®5) causing buggy behaviour. Now invalid styles just reset to the default style and continue functioning normally.
  • Updated some placeholder text.
