Aug 7, 2018

Version 1.5.3

Changes

Hotfix to resolve several bugs as well as the lost inventory bug. Some players may have lost their item inventories and character progress after updating to 1.5.0. To recover inventory that was lost, you will need to:
1. Have had a Microsoft account or Nintendo account tied to that player when you last saw the player with its previous inventory. Without this, your data cannot be recovered
2. Do not uninstall/reinstall the game on the machine you last saw your old inventory on - this will destroy the cached data needed to recover your lost inventory. Merely updating the game should be fine.
3. Log in to the same server, which has been upgraded to 1.5.3, from the same machine you last saw your old player/inventory.
4. Be in an area which allows for chests to safely spawn. If you aren't, the game should inform you, and try again the next time you log in to the game.
Without the Microsoft account or Nintendo account and the same device with the original data, the data cannot be recovered.
Xbox One worlds that were not appearing after updating to 1.5 will once again appear on the Worlds screen
Fixed several crashes that occurred during gameplay
Fixed a crash that could occur for the host when another player leaves the game
Fixed a crash that could occur when joining a world that was converted from Xbox One Edition

Apr 3, 2018

Version 1.2.13

Changes

Added the Experimental Gameplay Toggle so that you can test some of the new, no-yet-fully-released features from the Update Aquatic while keeping them safely inside a world file of their own. Please be aware that once you have turned the toggle on, you will not be able to toggle it off as this could cause problems with your world. Please keep in mind that using Experimental Gameplay will make your game more unstable, so we recommend to not do anything you want to be permanent in worlds with this feature switched on.
You can create a new world with Experimental Gameplay on or you can go into a world you already have and toggle it. If you turn on Experimental Gameplay in a world that already exists, a copy of your world will be made with EX in front of the name. Any progress made in this world will NOT carry over to the original world - it will only stay on the EX world. This EX world will now have the new features enabled on it. Other players can join this world just like you can with any other world - the people joining do not have to have a world file themselves saved with Experimental Gameplay on it.
Search feature added to the Store
Owned skin packs now appear at the top of the Skin Picker
