Hello everyone!
It is time for the February 2025 Stable Update. The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors are back in the swing of things working on new features and fixes for tModLoader this month. Notable changes for this month's release include improvements to startup time and various other fixes. We also intend to enable the Steam Runtime this month for Linux users in an effort to make running tModLoader more compatible across different Linux systems. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if this change breaks anything for you.
For mod makers, features of note currently in preview for next month include expanded tree shaking hooks and expanded shimmer recipe decrafting control.
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.
