- “Hence, being in early alpha state, the game runs great and offers a solid feature set to entertain you for countless hours.”

Torches are only visible from a certain distance but disappear when too far away (the distance is like 20-30 blocks, and you can clearly see them disappear). Playing with friends is really complicated as you have to set up the server yourself since the dedicated ones have been shut down.”
