Blockheads PC v0.3.0

Alpha. A desktop chat, server pages that work like on the phone, and the tablet layout by default.

Chat

  • Desktop chat. The chat opens as a panel on the left. Messages read from the oldest to the newest, at the
    bottom; the input line sits under them with SEND beside it, with a caret, and long messages wrap.
  • Rows. Each message shows the sender's picture at the left, the date small at the top right and the message
    beside the picture, in a smaller font.
  • T opens the chat (like Minecraft; you can rebind it in Settings > Controls).
  • Stays open. After a message is sent the input line stays open for the next one; CLOSE closes the whole chat in
    one press, and the pause menu closes it too.
  • The game no longer pauses itself for being idle while you type.
  • The server's own chat lines show the server's picture (needs Blockheads Server v0.4.0).

Server pages

  • The welcome message and the help pages open in a window of their own, as the phone shows them: their
    pictures and scripts work (so "Show More Info" opens), links open in your browser.
  • The window is a sandbox: it cannot call the launcher, read your files or send requests, and it never leaves the
    page. The launcher's own commands are now behind Tauri's access control list, so only the launcher's windows can
    use them.

Mods

  • Rejoining a modded server with the same mods skips the prompt; it only asks again when a mod changed or for a
    server you have not joined before.
  • Cosmetics on your own blockhead. Hats and other cosmetics from /hat show on your own character and come off
    again with /hat none.
  • Per-mod hot reload and timings in the F9 panel; mod blocks drawn with the mod's texture.

Launcher

  • Tablet layout by default (recommended in Settings > Graphics); a zoom you chose yourself is kept.
  • The UI scale percentage follows the slider while you drag it.

Install

Download the installer for your system from the assets below: Linux (AppImage, deb, rpm), Windows (NSIS, MSI),
