good morning. let's talk optimizations. we all know that essentials is, uh, slow. in fact, it's so slow, that 18.4 isn't even the first release to be at least partially based on making it faster. what is difficult to overstate is just the sheer extent to which this is not necessary. everyone who makes the game knows this. that second meme was a big enough deal that it got me to make another release. after everything i've been through. it was just such a big speedup that keeping it to just the devs actively felt bad. so let's do storytime.

look, i know i said i was never going to do this again. but. we have another version. here's the entire changelog: added a line to the scripts and that's it. that's all we did. it is much faster than 18.3. and it was already fast. and i thought about this for exactly 5 seconds so you know it's gonna be great. please enjoy. the files are still uploading at the time of writing. i'd wait for them to finish, but the sun is coming up and i want to go to bed*. so we are also featuring a patch! you can find it on the downloads page, right
