2.20.3

DAYLIGHT 2.20.3

• Fixed the Updates panel failing to load release notes in installed builds.
• Release notes and automatic desktop updates use daylight-lancher on GitHub.
• Existing instances and settings are retained.

This fixes a packaged-app configuration error introduced in 2.20.2. It does
not fix the separate Minecraft native graphics crash or Android save issue.

Daylight 2.21

DAYLIGHT 2.21.0

DEFAULT MODS

• Deleted default mods stay removed across launches and Minecraft version changes, including files removed directly from the mods folder.
• Fresh instances still install their default mods. You can reinstall a removed mod explicitly from the Mods page.

INSTANCE CONTROL

• Added a Kill instance button while Minecraft is running.
• Confirmation warns about unsaved progress. Only the Minecraft process launched by Daylight is stopped.
• Intentional stops are no longer reported as crashes.

COMBAT HUD

• Combo Counter now waits for a target's damage response instead of counting every attack attempt.
• Combos reset when you take damage, change targets, die, leave a world or stop hitting for 2.5 seconds.
• Reach Display rounds to one decimal place and hides unnecessary zeroes: 1m, 1.1m, 1.2m, 3m.
• Reach is no longer artificially capped at three blocks. Missed hitbox rays are ignored.

MINECRAFT VERSIONS

• Updated Daylight mod builds for all 32 retained release versions, from 1.18 through 26.3.
• Added exact-version builds for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.3.
• Adapted the 26.3 keyboard and first-person item-rendering APIs.
• Corrected the 26.x time-changer hook and legacy 1.18 version metadata.
• New instances still start at Minecraft 1.19. Existing 1.18 instances retain their older menu.

OFFLINE ACCOUNTS - DESKTOP

• Open the account menu and choose Add offline account.
• Offline accounts are labeled and saved separately from Microsoft accounts.
• Intended for local play or servers that allow offline accounts, not authenticated servers.
• Game files must already be downloaded before playing without internet.
• Microsoft sign-in remains available. This optional feature may change in a later update.

TESTING

• All 32 mod jars compiled and passed Minecraft/Java metadata and combat-code checks.
• All 29 launcher tests passed, along with hidden-window account/Kill button checks and Java combat logic tests.
• These checks do not establish in-game compatibility on every version or device. Test before publishing.
• The combo counter remains a client-side estimate; damage from other players or unusual server feedback can affect it.
• This update does not include a new Android APK or macOS installer.

20.2

DAYLIGHT 2.20.2

• Desktop updates now come from Duckboy121/daylight-lancher on GitHub.
• The launcher's release-notes page uses the new repository.
• The Linux install script points to the new repository.
• Existing instances and launcher settings are retained.

Windows players can install the new setup over their existing Daylight app.
Automatic migration requires a matching bridge release in the old repository.
Linux portable users must download and extract the newer archive manually.

This update changes the repository destination. It does not fix the separately
reported NVIDIA native crash or Android save-and-exit issue, and does not add
Android auto-updates.
