@everyone1.6 Release Announcement
At this time, and after refining our plans for concluding 1.17 + continuing into 1.18, 1.6 for 1.17 has an official confirmed release date of Monday Nov 22nd 2021(Provided nothing goes wrong between now and then)
For 1.18, due to the thanksgiving holidays and much of the team here likely to be unavailable, we do not plan to have a day-one patch for 1.18,
but more so to have things ready to go within the first two weeks of 1.18s official release on the 30th.
(Putting things after Thanksgiving BUT before the winter holiday)
This additional time will prove useful towards polishing the 1.18 port in addition to making sure no bruises occur during porting
(And anything that Mojang breaks can be mitigated safely without users' worlds held in the crossfire -- ie ensuring your Aether data remains as it was in 1.17 for 1.18)
Continued preliminary work is planned to resume over this upcoming weekend, once we are certain 1.6 is ready for deployment!
Thank you for your continued support during this time, and on behalf of the team,
we hope you enjoy the 1.6 update in 1.17 and 1.18 and look forward to bringing Updates 1.7 and 1.8 in 2022 😄
Cheers 👋(edited)
