Updates that are actually 1.8
- u53, 7 July 2025: Intel Chromebook buffer-stream work, fewer WebGL context losses, dynamic-light FPS notes, audio and render fixes.
- u52, 16 June 2025: Chrome crash fixes, a fix for being kicked when you switch tabs, VSync-off buffer swap lag, PBR improvements, TeaVM 0.12.1.
- u50, 23 February 2025: shader effects, subsurface scattering, moon atmosphere, WASM heap work.
The play FAQ also describes the stack as open source and based on TeaVM, with EaglerXServer for multiplayer. That is the X-era architecture, not a promise about every community fork.
Questions
Is EaglercraftZ safe to download?
It is a personal project. It is not a file on eaglercraft.com/downloads, so it does not get the hashes on this site.
