Hello everyone,
It’s been a long year but despite all the setbacks and craziness going on in the world we are still chugging along with development of Conquest Reforged 1.15.2.
Since our last developer update, Optifine became 1.15.2 compatible which has allowed us to work on testing/improving CTM based textures as well as discovering/fixing various bugs that came with more recent iterations of the vanilla rendering system (of which there are still many). We are also starting to work on new leaf models to replace the functionality from the Better Foliage mod as it appears to have been discontinued (or at the very least not updated for a long time). The new models should provide better performance and aesthetics which will make CR trees even better than they were before.
We still have more to do to provide the best quality and bug free experience on release but we think we are getting closer everyday and hope we’ll get there soon. Thank you all for your support and sticking with us.
Before we sign off here’s our general roadmap for the open Beta:
-branch model overhaul
-last minute block additions and touch ups
-ensuring full compatibility with WorldEdit and WorldPainter
-QA testing for models and textures (including a full block audit)
-general bug fixes
Launcher Notice:
Due to the upcoming Microsoft migration changes to Java accounts, we will be discontinuing the CR Launcher since it does not support the new authentication process with Microsoft. If you are currently using the CR launcher it will continue to work (unless you have recently purchased a Minecraft account) until you are forced to migrate at which point you will have to either use our modpack on CurseForge or manually install the mod using the vanilla MC launcher.
