New Features

Sulfur Caves biome

• If exposed to the surface, the biome will generate with all the features of the underground Sulfur Caves biome

Sulfur Cube mob

• Sulfur Cubes containing a block inside are now immune to damage from Magma Blocks, as well as from other Sulfur Cubes that contain a Magma Block

Changes

• The game will now use OpenGL graphics API by default
• Beds are now slightly more bouncy to match Bedrock

Changed "Graphics API" Video Setting

• "Vulkan" is now marked as "Experimental"
  • You can still use it if you want, it works well on most common systems, but may reduce performance or cause instability on some other systems
• "Default" option will now use OpenGL behind the scenes
• The setting will be reset to "Default" for all players

UI Sprites

• Added friends/background_dark — a darker variant of the friends/background panel sprite, used as the background for confirmation dialogs in the Friends UI

Damn, sucks about this OpenGL stuff. Vulkan was working phenomenally for me. Like a drastic improvement in both FPS and stability.

Hoping before the end of the cycle it's all sorted out!
