It is time for the September 2024 Stable Update.
The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader.
This month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, various bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers.
One new feature we want to showcase in particular is in-game workshop tag filtering. We hope this new filter will help users find the mods they want more easily in-game. We expect this feature to especially help users find mods that support their native language.
As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on GitHub or reach out to us at our Discord.
