- Distant rifts are now less visible
- Can now do increment time via command in months and years /time add 2 years or /time add 2 months
- Reduced creature aggro sound rate if they cannot find a path. Should mitigate endless drifter growling around your base.
- Gameplay balancing
- Halved produce drop rate on wild crops (they were doubled in 1.16, unintentionally)
- Acacia trees now also spawn resin
- Reduced mushroom spawning during worldgen by 20% and they stay harvestable less longer (30 days -> 20 days)

- The hacking spear can now also be made from bisbronze and tinbronze
- Increased fruit tree cutting growth chance (25% -> 40%)
- Increase resin spawn chance 2.5-fold
- Increased rusty gear drop rate for drifters (normal: 0% -> 1%, deep: 2% -> 3%, tainted 5%->7%, corrupt 7%->10%, nightmare 10%->20%)
- Beds now stack (1 -> 2)
- Avoid game crashing on corrupted chiseled blocks
- More informative fruitpress block info hud text
- Further optimized entity physics simulation for overall improved game performance when lots of entities are loaded (Technical info: Skip loading all nearby block collision boxes if entity didn't move a full block since last tick)
- Scythe rework
- New (default) tool mode: Trim grass. Will leave behind short grass that regrows.
- The 2nd tool mode restores old behavior.

- Free-floating vines now slowly disappear over time
