Blockheads PC v0.2.0

Alpha. The big change: the PC client now loads mods, so you can join modded servers and play with cosmetics.

Mods

  • Mod loader. Client mods run inside the launcher's game: Lua and WebAssembly mods, plus native client mods
    (libbhmod host) and JVM client mods (needs Java; switch and Java folder in Settings > Mods).
  • Join dialog. Joining a modded server shows what the server asks for, with a switch per optional mod, a retry
    button, the player count, and the hash of the mods received. If a mod changed, it updates after the game.
  • Mods screen. Browse, install, update and remove mods in the launcher (Mods area and Settings > Mods), with a
    clear install flow, permission and danger badges, and the mods of the servers you play on.
  • In-game mod UI. Join prompt, F9 panel and toasts inside the game.
  • Cosmetics. Hair, clothing and other cosmetics from mods, with auto-wear and hair masks.
  • Weapon skins. Mods can reskin the tool a blockhead holds.
  • Mod items. Items added by mods get names, validity checks and icons made from the mod's pictures.
  • Client and server talk. Mods can call services on the server and the other way round; world events and the
    player position reach client mods, and typed /commands work end to end.
  • Developer tools. Live mod status, developer reload (also for a game running in its own window), live reload,
    and joining localhost.

Launcher

  • Update notice. The launcher tells you when a new release is out; click to install, then "Restart now"
    restarts it. Updates are never installed on their own.
  • Tray icon. Clicking the tray icon while the window is open now hides it (and shows it when hidden).
  • A note left by the game asks the launcher for an update check at its next start.
  • The launcher window follows the window size; new game zoom setting plus a UI scale fine-tune.
  • Russian and Kazakh translations of the launcher and the game's messages; Turkish, Russian and Kazakh wording polish.

Fixes

  • The game view is phone-sized by default.
  • Audio stays silent until the first frame is shown.
  • The setup summary rows show again.
  • Windows drive paths are treated as local mod index files.
  • A mod is compatible with any API version the SDK serves.

Install

Download the installer for your system from the assets below: Linux (AppImage, deb, rpm), Windows (NSIS, MSI),
macOS (dmg), each for x86_64 and arm64. You bring your own copy of The Blockheads; nothing from the game is
included. Installers on macOS are not notarised yet.
