We hope everyone has been having a fun time with 1.4.4 tModLoader! We are happy to see that a large majority of popular mods have already been updated to work with the latest tModLoader. In fact, over 85% of all mods by subscriber count have made it to 1.4.4 tModLoader already.
Over the last month the tModLoader team and our amazing contributor community have been hard at work fixing bugs and other issues. This months update focuses on bug fixes. We also managed to greatly improve the in-game workshop performance, please check it out.
Modders: Next month tModLoader will add many new exciting features, such as Builders Toggles, Emote Bubbles, World Headers, Rubblemaker support, and a reworked NPC buff immunity system, so modders should take the opportunity this month to experiment with these features on the preview beta branch, preview-v2023.08, prior to their release. You'll need to switch to this new beta branch even if you were previously in preview-v2023.07. In addition, there are other changes that might break your mods, so be sure to test your mods and publish an update on preview before October if needed.
As always, if you encounter any issues, please reach out in our Discord.

Localization

If you are interested in translating these, please get in contact with us on Discord to ask how to contribute translations or visit the tModLoader wiki for instructions.
