3. ⚠️ Sulfur Cave Generation Change: Center of Controversy
· One of the biggest changes in this snapshot is the generation method of Sulfur Caves. In addition to sulfur and cinnabar blocks, granite and tuff are now generated.
· However, this change reduces the generation ratio of sulfur and cinnabar, and the commonly found granite and tuff cover the caves, leading to criticism that the unique character of Sulfur Caves has been lost.
· The developer speculates that this change might be an attempt to address mineral generation issues, but the prevailing opinion is that it diminishes the value of exploring Sulfur Caves.
· Additionally, the average height of spikes in the caves has been reduced, making movement slightly easier, yet there is a lot of negative feedback regarding the overall generation changes.

4. 🌍 Language Additions and Fishing Rod Bug Fix
· Swiss French and Shuash have been added to the game in this snapshot.
· A fishing rod bug that existed for over a year has been fixed. Previously, after throwing the fishing rod, scrolling the inventory would briefly show the uncast texture of the rod, but now the texture is replaced by the fishing line moving to the opposite side of the screen before disappearing.

5. 🦠 Slime Cube Related Changes

· The 'Slime Cube Predicate by Type' has been renamed to 'Cube Mob Predicate by Type', allowing it to encompass not only Slime Cubes but also other cube mobs.
· However, it was noted that while Slime Cubes and Magma Cubes have three sizes (including baby), Sulfur Cubes still only have two sizes.
