## New Features

- Updated to GLTF Renderer API 1.0.0-beta.6.

## Notes

This version remains Pre-Beta. Appearance, balancing, and multiplayer functionality are still being evaluated. When using shaders, the API's texture limit may cause materials to render using only base colors.

Clients and the server must use the same version. Back up your world before updating.
