v2.8.5 — Forward-Compatibility Hardening

A maintenance release focused on keeping Project Sakura resilient across Hytale updates. No gameplay changes.

Teleporter

• The Sakura Teleporter now mirrors the current base-game teleporter's structure while keeping its pink sakura look. It picks up the same robustness the vanilla teleporter has, so future game updates are less likely to disturb it. It plays exactly the same: right-click to name it and pick a destination, step on to travel, and auto-return to the Grove when no destination is set.

Under the hood

• The teleport code is fully crash-guarded — a future Hytale API change can't bubble an error into your game; it safely degrades instead.
• New release safety net: every vanilla model / texture / hitbox / particle the mod's 700+ blocks borrow is verified present in the game before each release ships. Checked clean against both the current and the upcoming Hytale builds.

Seeing a black-and-purple square where a teleporter used to be?

That happens when an old version of Project Sakura runs on an updated game — the old teleporter is rejected and placed pads show the "missing block" placeholder. Update to v2.8.5 and re-place the pad. (Reinstalling the same old version won't help.)

Compatibility

• Existing player worlds are safe — no terrain changes.
• Runs on Update 5 and is verified against the pre-release build too (ServerVersion: "*").
• Install: drop both the Project Sakura/ folder and SakuraCommands.jar into %APPDATA%\Hytale\UserData\Mods\, then enable the mod in your save's settings.
