You're not dreaming! Crucial 2 and Bliss are getting updates in 2023. This is mainly due to the massive step forward the performance mod scene has taken since the last release of these two modpacks.
These versions contain no new content, but are focued entirely on mod updates and performance. As in the Musketeer beta release from yesterday, I have to give a huge thanks to chorb from Luna Pixel for pointing me in the direction of all these new mods and helping me get everything going, thank you very much chorb.
For all of you playing Crucial 2 and Bliss, I hope these updates find you well and that your game runs even better than before. Due to the large amount of performance mod changes here, there's a non-zero chance for things to break here and there, so if anything in either of the packs is not workning as you're used to in the next while, please give me an @ directly on the Violet Moon discord so I can immediately be notified of it.
So, onto the changelogs.
