Velo Client 0.9.91

Hotfix for 0.9.9 - please update. Hosting and joining worlds need 0.9.91.

World Hosting

• Fixed friends getting "Failed to connect" when joining a hosted world (the world was already open to LAN, e.g. through another mod's hosting, and Velo used the wrong port).
• Velo now checks the connection through the relay before Minecraft connects - problems show a clear message instead of "Failed to connect". The host gets told when someone couldn't get in.
• The mod check before joining only lists mods that add something to the world. Libraries like annotations / kotlin-stdlib and server-side-only mods are no longer listed as "missing".

Name Styles

• Name Styles now show in the tab list even when another mod takes over how tab list names are made.

Partner servers

• HD icons up to 512x512; clients get a sharp copy at the size they draw.
• The owner web panel can now add, edit, remove and reorder partner servers.

Updates

• Launchers from 0.9.91 open the update dialog by themselves when the team marks an update as required.

Velo Client 0.9.8

Please update now - Velo moved to new servers at velo-client.com. The old server shuts down in about a week; older versions then lose friends, parties, cosmetics, the Store and rewards. Your coins, cosmetics and friends moved over with you.

New

• velo-client.com - a brand new website and a web Store: try every pair of wings, cape and aura on your own skin in 3D (with 3D skin layers), buy with Velo Coins, send gifts. Sign in with a code your launcher shows you - valid for 14 days.
• Emoji Chat - emoji show as colour pictures in chat; :shortcodes: turn into real emoji when sent; type :sm for suggestions, Tab completes. On by default.
• Hide Foliage - hide grass, ferns, dry grass, bushes, seagrass, nether sprouts and roots, leaf litter and petals (each group switchable).
• Container Animations - containers pop or slide in and ease out, shift-clicked items fly to their new slot (optional).
• Turbo Block Entities - new Performance Boost slider: far-away chests, signs, banners and heads aren't drawn.

Fixed

• Animated capes in the launcher's Store and Locker no longer cause lag.

Launcher installers (.exe, .deb) are attached automatically in a few minutes.

Velo Client 0.9.7

Velo Client 0.9.7 - the big redesign. A completely new launcher (Home, Library, Store with daily picks, bundles, gifts and a wishlist page, a Locker whose loadouts keep each cosmetic's colours and settings, invite rewards, a guided first start, a new profile page, custom window controls and one-press Relaunch) and the same look in game: a new title screen with Jump back in, a new pause menu, and Store, Locker and Friends that look exactly like the launcher. New Statistics, Advancements and Keybinds screens. Works alongside Essential, Mod Menu and ukulib. Launcher installers (.deb / .exe) are attached automatically by CI.

Velo Client 0.9.5

Velo Client 0.9.5 - a brand new animated title screen: a ray-traced 3D world with a live sword duel that glows in your theme color. Two new themes (Emerald, Sunset), readable text on Monochrome and Nord, faster cosmetics sync, Session Auto Fixer handles more kicks, faster client import, Redstone Mode improvements, and a big Velo+ Addons update. Launcher installers (.deb / .exe) are attached automatically by CI.

Velo Client 0.9.3

Velo Client 0.9.3 - Velo+ Addons install reliably again (with a clear message if they can't), the launcher always installs the newest Fabric API for your Minecraft version, and a startup crash with the Addons is fixed. Launcher installers (.deb / .exe) are attached automatically by CI.

Velo Client 0.9.2

Velo Client 0.9.2 - Velo+ Addons get their own category (40+ new modules for your own worlds and private servers), smoother Fly Boat and Cinematic Camera, a working Auto Eat, and a launcher fix for the Addons version check. Launcher installers (.deb / .exe) are attached automatically by CI.
