What's Changed
- In Game Audio Controls
- Realms / Proxy Improvements
- Various Improvements
In Game Audio Controls
The headline feature for this release is in-game audio controls. Supported on all platforms and on both net and no-net packages, you can now control your own audio state, create, join and leave groups, and control the audio of other players, all without ever leaving or alt-tabbing out of Minecraft itself.
This feature is fully supported on both Bedrock and Java servers. On Bedrock, the audio control panel can be opened with /bvc:panel.

Realms + Proxy Improvements
There is a small number of improvements to Realms + Proxy. Bedrock 26.50 per Minecraft Protocol is now technically supported in anticipation of the new release, pending any changes. Feel free to use it to connect to Preview worlds and experiment (it does require a pack version bump) for the manifest.json, which you'll have to do by hand.
The realms + proxy controls now support support explicitly setting the Bedrock game version, letting you continue to run on older versions of Minecraft, rather than being locked to the current version
Other Small Fixes
- Fixes #213, which was causing error log spam then statsd udp ports are explicitly blocked on some servers.
- Generalize code quality improvements to make maintenance easier.
- Adds a new /api/control endpoint. This endpoint facilitates in-game audio control. It's documented in the API spec, however it is locked to the primary API key, and isn't accessible via mTLS. Consider this a private internal API. The structure of this may change at any time.
As always, please
