A dated history
The project news index, as read for this guide, covers updates u43 through u53, the 1.5 sp2 post, and a site rewrite. It does not contain a 26.2 or 26.3 launch post. SalC1’s video is a narrative from May 2024. Treat the video as background and the dated posts as the record.
Last reviewed: . By the Eaglercraft Guide editorial team.
Dated project posts support the timeline. SalC1's video is a third-party account published on 8 May 2024; its upload date is not a date for later client releases or evidence that this site witnessed those events.
- 1.5 sp2: resource packs, FPS, voice, shared worlds, vanilla export, VSync.
- u50: shader effects and WASM heap notes for the 1.8 line.
- u52: Chrome crashes, tab-switch kicks, PBR, TeaVM 0.12.1.
- u53: Intel Chromebook buffering and WebGL context loss.
- 27 August 2025: the project site was rewritten with Next.js. That is a website change, not a client version.
The project credits identify contributors. The 26.2 zeus archive is supported by the download catalog and the archive verification, not by a dated release announcement in the news index.
