Developer note: When we originally announced this update, we mentioned an accompanying limited-time mode. We know some of you have been waiting for it, and we want to be upfront about where things stand.

Over the last year, a significant portion of the team's focus has shifted toward our upcoming MMO server, Skyblock Horizons. As a result, development time for the LTM was limited, and it ultimately didn't meet the quality standards we hold ourselves to. Rather than ship something that doesn't feel right, we decided to hold it back.

We haven't shelved it for good, and we want to revisit it later on down the line. We're sorry it won't be part of this release, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope you still find plenty to enjoy in the update itself!

As always, we'd love to hear your feedback! Be sure to let us know what you think by filling in the dedicated feedback form!
