0.2 Major Server Update
For the second time, the entire server has been rewritten in order to lay a more solid foundation that is better suited to the new features we want to integrate.
This update marks an important milestone for Renyland and paves the way for a more stable, richer, and more convenient future for all players and upcoming features.
A full backup was performed on September 22, 2025 to ensure data security and preservation.
Complete server rewrite
The old versions of the code were not designed to support the direction the project is taking today. The decision was therefore made to start from scratch. This rewrite is not just invisible groundwork: it allows for better organization, overall optimization, and above all, the integration of many new features.
Data migration
All essential data has been carefully transferred to this new version: areas, inventories, player profiles, etc. Nothing has been lost during this transition, and you can find your creations and progress.
However, if you encounter any issues with missing items or other problems, please contact us so that we can resolve your issue.
Discord Rich Presence MOD
During the development of V0.2, when we took a short break from server development, we developed a small Discord Rich Presence mod.
The mod is available from the Launcher. It allows you to show your Discord friends that you are connected to Renyland, as well as which world you are in (and how many players are there) and a description of the area.Renyland HTTPS Fix MOD
The game's web browser is outdated, which makes it difficult to browse the internet, as most major websites are not accessible without HTTPS.
We have found a solution to this problem, and this mod will allow you to update your browser.
Renyland Youtube Fix MOD
When you select a Thing that can be used as a screen, you have access to the video feature using YouTube, but this has been broken by platform updates.
We have found a solution to restore it, and thanks to this mod, you will once again be able to display your favorite videos in your Area!
New features
Search Thing Item
A search function has been added to search for “things” from your inventory.
Please note: The server currently uses the name of the “thing” rather than its “tag.” This means that a keyword search will allow you to find a specific item in your lists. If responsiveness issues arise in the future, we plan to migrate to tag-based searching to further improve performance.
Reset your Area
It is now possible to completely reset your area. This operation deletes your current map and replaces it with the original version, which contains only a small base floor.
Please note: this process is irreversible at this time.
However, we are working on a future backup system specific to reset areas, in order to offer greater flexibility and security.
Add/Remove Areas to favorites
You can now add or remove areas from your favorites. All maps marked as favorites appear directly in the Areas list menu, allowing you to instantly find your favorite places.
History of visited areas
A history log now keeps track of the last 100 areas you have visited.
Search Area BY CreatorName
It is possible to search for areas based on their creator name. For example, by typing “by philipp,” you will see all areas created by that user.
Add/Remove Report Area
A reporting system has been set up to flag problematic areas. Whether it's inappropriate content, errors, or bugs, you can now help improve the overall quality of the server by actively participating in moderation.
List of a person’s areas
It is now possible to access a list of areas created by a person. These areas can be clicked on from a player's info, allowing you to visit them immediately without having to search for them manually.
List of the best items by each person
It is now possible to access the list of the best items created by a person by inspecting an item and its creator, or directly from a person's information.
The friends list
The friends list is finally up and running! You can now add and remove friends.
Current limits and behind the scenes
Although many features have been integrated, not all of them could be tested thoroughly. The main reason is simple: several of them require the presence of multiple players simultaneously to be properly validated, which is not always possible during development phases.
We therefore prefer to be transparent: some features may have bugs or unexpected behavior. Your patience and feedback are essential to stabilizing this new version.
Call to the community
We invite all players to report any issues they encounter and share their feedback. Your comments are invaluable in helping us improve the server and quickly fix any bugs. Together, we can refine Renyland and make it more robust with each update.
To help us, you can report any issues you encounter or simply discuss the game on the Discord server, which is now available. This will allow us to better centralize requests and incidents.
Conclusion
Renyland Server Beta V0.2 is now online.
Thank you to everyone who continues to follow the project and contribute to its improvement. This is just one step, but it marks the beginning of a new phase of stability and evolution for Renyland.
