🎨 Terraria Patcher v2.0.0 — Full UI Redesign + Independent Patching Bridge
This is a major release combining a complete visual overhaul of the entire interface with the migration away from electron-edge-js to a self-contained .NET 10 patching bridge — making the app lighter, more stable, and ready for future growth.
🖥️ UI Redesign (v2.0.0)
Every page has been rebuilt from the ground up with a unified design language inspired by terminal and developer tooling aesthetics.
- 🎨 New design system — Zinc + Emerald palette, JetBrains Mono typography, zero border-radius throughout
- 🏠 Redesigned Home page — hero section with live system stats, Quick Access panel, System Status, Build Info, and a step-by-step Recommended Workflow
- 📊 Contextual stat cards — accent colors reflect state: blue for informational, green for OK, amber for warnings
- 🌗 Three-mode theme switcher — Light / System / Dark, replacing the old toggle
- 🌐 Automatic language detection on first launch based on system locale
- 🧩 Consistent page headers and section layout across all pages (Patcher, Config, Plugins.ini Editor, Changelog, About, Dev Tools)
- 🔲 Unified badge style — all badges aligned to the active preset with no rounded corners
- 🔤 Full i18n coverage — all visible strings now go through the translation system in both English and Português Brasileiro
- 🛠️ Dev Tools page redesigned to match the rest of the app
⚙️ Independent Patching Bridge (v1.2.0 — v1.2.1)
- 🔌 Removed
electron-edge-js— replaced with a standalone .NET 10 C# subprocess communicating via stdin/stdout JSON-RPC, eliminating native module compilation requirements - 🧱 Self-contained bridge binary —
patcher-win.exe/patcher-linux/patcher-macbundled directly with the app, no extra runtime install needed beyond .NET 10 - 🐧 Fixed Linux/Steam Runtime plugin loading — plugin loader now resolves
Plugins,Plugins.ini, and helper DLLs from Terraria's base directory, avoiding failures when Linux/Steam starts the game with a different working directory - 🔧 FNA loader improvements — skips compilation when no active
.csplugins are present, allowing the game to start cleanly with an empty plugin list - 📦 Dependency updates — Electron 39, React 19, Vite 7, Tailwind 4, ESLint with React Hooks
