Additions

General

Chat

  • Added an option to hide matched names.
    • Some servers send chat messages in non-standard formats. With this option on, the game will attempt to apply chat hiding anyway by matching the text in messages.

Fixes

1 issue fixed

From the previous development version

  • MC-202614 – Search function in social interactions screen only finds names that begin with the letters that were typed in.
