Happy to announce that TheCritic has rejoined the development team. He is currently taking a focus in helping out with the New Player Experience While we still got a lot of work to do with this 1.15 update, we're still trying to make advancement on features now that bugs are starting to stabilize. While my time is still going to be super busy fixing the server, hoping between the rest of the team we can get features back going here now. We've been hard at work, sorry if I've not bee as active on forums, but anyone who follows me in the developer community (I know some of you do) know it's been a wild ride fixing all the things. Thankfully, I'm working with Mojang and helping them identify the issues my peers and I have with the game. Thankfully Mojang has informed us they have hired some new people to really focus on performance and improving the game. So far 1.16 doesn't sound like it's going to be as big of an update for us... So here's hoping for that. Stay tuned for more news as it's ready!
Great news, both that TheCritic is back and the rest you said! Welcome back Critic, good luck and have fun!
Welcome back! And big thanks to the dev team, I've noticed the TPS has been great lately. Big thanks to all!
