Thursday is patch day.
Summary
Players can download mods (custom blocks, skyboxes, custom skins) right from Steam Workshop. Mods are per-world; that means that each world can have different mods active. And that’s not all –every client automatically downloads every workshop mod used by server while connecting. As a bonus; we have also added character animations playable from toolbar, small control panel access block, gyroscope override and more catwalk blocks – enjoy!
Warning: in case you have overwritten core game files on your own in the past, please try to delete all local content + verify your game cache files

No netcode fixes. Doh well. It is, however, funny that these guys have so effortlessly put in mod support while Minecraft STILL hasn't, despite saying they were going to do so for years.
