Who's ready for another exciting NodePanel update? You are, that's why you're reading this, right? We've split our dev team up so we can focus on the massive upcoming changes while not abandoning the still growing user-base using NodePanel 2. We cant wait to share these details with everyone, but unfortunately that day isn't today, so sit back and enjoy reading our moderately technical changelog for how we're making your online gameplay even easier. If that doesn't sound like your type of blog post, the TL;DR is "We updated Nodepanel to handle updates to several games, added a really cool modding tool to Starbound, fixed a couple bugs, and a few tweaks to the dark mode version of our website".
Shoutout to a Nodecraft Partner
Oh, and before we get to the changelog, we felt it was important to give a shoutout to one of the Nodecraft Partners, Jared for their assistance in bringing ZenScript highlighting to the web-based file manager in NodePanel. What's that, you don't know what ZenScript is? ZenScript is a scripting language for the mod CraftTweaker (and addons) that makes it really simple to provide customization for nearly all modern Minecraft modpacks and is arguably one of the most vital aspects of the Java Edition's modding ecosystem. What's even more impressive is that this open source code is now used on GitHub, one of the most popular developer tools online. So, when Jared isn't making a ton of awesome Minecraft mods, he's busy making the developer, modding, and gaming community a better place. We're happy to support him as a Nodecraft Partner!
