It is time for the October 2024 Stable Update.

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. Once again this month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers.

One major contribution we'd like to highlight this month is work by alueck that enables Mac and Linux users to contribute directly to tModLoader. If you are a Mac or Linux user and have been wanting to contribute a new feature to tModLoader, it should now be possible and we are willing to help on Discord if you run into any roadblocks.

As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on GitHub[github.com] or reach out to us at our Discord[discord.com].

The following is a list of the most noteworthy changes made for this release. As a reminder, modders should consult the Update Migration Guide[github.com] to see how to adapt to the new changes after running tModPorter.
