It’s time for Minecraft Oldschool Edition 1.4!

Features (Client):
+ Added multi-language support across the client, including the admin panel, chat-room UI, and new HUD indicators.
+ Brought controller support to Windows and Linux with the ability to customize button icon textures! (Requires Steam Input by launching PrismMC through Steam)
+ Revamped the in-game Player List and Chat Rooms views with speaking indicators, ping icons, kick controls, and hover tooltips.
+ Integrated proximity voice chat and chat-room voice channels directly into the UI, complete with gear icons and moderator tooling.

Features (Server):
+ Chat rooms now persist to disk so communities can build long-lived channels that survive restarts.
+ Voice chat, online-mode, and modern authentication are all enabled by default for new server.properties files.
+ Added dedicated Bukkit permission nodes:
  • uberbukkit.chatroom.create – create/pin/delete rooms.
  • uberbukkit.chatroom.kick – remove members via the participants UI.
  • uberbukkit.voice.chat – allow a player to transmit voice globally.

Notes:
* Controller support currently relies on Steam Input; launch PrismMC through Steam to configure bindings.
* Voice chat respects the mute system—muted players are silenced for both text and voice without touching per-player ignore lists.
