💻 UI Changes

🖱️ Drag & Drop

Drag in .json, .png, .nbt, and other supported files directly into the UI for fast importing.

🎨 UI Overhaul

The entire interface has been redesigned for clarity and flow.
Menus, fields, and generators are now easier to use and better organized.

🌗 Themes

mDirt now supports custom themes!
Includes built-in Dark and Light themes. Watch the JupiterDev YouTube tutorial to create your own.

🎯 New Icon

A brand new program icon has been added.

⚙️ Settings Menu

⚙️ Backend Improvements

🧩 Jinja2 Templates

All generators now use j2 templates, making future updates more stable and easier to maintain.

📁 Workspaces

Each project now lives in its own folder. You can return to any workspace to continue editing.
This replaces the old Import/Export system.

🔄 Auto-Updater

mDirt now checks for updates automatically and prompts you to install them.
Just click yes, and the update installs and restarts the app for you!

📜 Full Rewrite

Nearly the entire backend has been rewritten from scratch, improving stability, speed, and maintainability.

📦 Behavior & UX

• Prompt before closing with unsaved changes
• Prompt before downloading version data
• Improved status bar messages (e.g., saving, exporting)

👀 What's Next?

This was a massive update. @TheJupiterDev poured over 100 hours into building v3.0, with @JustJoshinDev leading UI and theme design.

With v3.0 shipped, development will slow down for a short break — but don't worry, maintenance updates will continue.

In the background, work has already begun on the next major phase:
Complete support for everything Minecraft datapacks can do.
It’s ambitious, and while there’s no release timeline yet, we're excited (and slightly exhausted) for what’s ahead.
