Need a Little Catch Up

As several people probably know, I stopped playing pretty much entirely for my last semester of college back in early 2019, but I kept up to date until around May of 2019. I am happy to say I plan on returning to the game!

I was wondering what I’ve missed in terms of content since then, as it’s not always easy to find on the forums. I am aware of Creative and Sovereign Worlds. I could use a gap filler for anything between that and the farming update. Thanks all!

I always look at the Dev Topics to try to see what I may have missed

That’s some hero level work. Nicely done.
