Chaos Cubed Content v1.9-SNAPSHOT

This major snapshot shifts our networking paradigm to drastically improve performance and player security.

🚀 New Features

• Full Client-Side Friends List: Overhauled the friends layout to be entirely client-side. Game servers are no longer required to process your social interactions!
• Easy Local & Direct Hosting: Added native support for hosting worlds directly over your home network or via direct internet connections through our memory-only WebSocket network relay.
• Smart Skin Storage System: Player skins are now securely cached directly in our backend infrastructure.
  • Fallback Handling: If a skin cannot be found in the backend, the client gracefully falls back to the Mojang API.

⚙️ Changes & Backend Upgrades

• Backend API Upgrade: Completely updated our custom backend API architecture to handle faster data syncs.
• 🔒 Severe Security Patch: Successfully patched a critical vulnerability that previously risked leaking player IP addresses. Your data is now fully anonymized through our socket system.

⚠️ Current Limitations

• Invite Only: The "Join World" feature is currently restricted. Players cannot request to join manually yet; you can only connect if you have been explicitly Invited by the host.
• Connection Constraints: Direct joining is currently limited to players on the same local home network or those using direct internet connection setups.
