Wilderness Bound Nears Completion with 26.3 Release Candidate

Wilderness Bound Final Push

The 26.3 Wilderness Bound update has entered the release candidate phase, signaling that the full launch is imminent if no major bugs surface. This build focuses on stabilization and resolving critical combat interactions.

Detailed Tweaks & Features

• Shield Mechanics: Axes no longer disable shields, reversing a recent controversial combat change.
• Exploit Fixes: Patched a specific angle exploit that allowed X-ray vision via Ender Pearls.
• Component Logic: Resolved conflicts between weapon blocking and block attack components.

Miscellaneous stability improvements and loot predicate fixes have also been applied. The return of functional shield blocking is a massive win for survival gameplay.
