- All-new Public Worlds browser — a clean pop-up listing every public world with player counts and one-click Join
- See your friends on the minimap — other players show as rings alongside your dot
- New options: turn name tags on/off and set their draw distance (up to Unlimited)
- Name tags now appear when you're near a player (10 m by default, adjustable) instead of across the whole world
- The world overview still shows every player's name marker at any distance
- Joining a world no longer drops you through the ground — your character waits for the terrain to be solid
- The same protection covers mid-session world reshapes for everyone connected
- If you ever end up below the world, you blink back to spawn instead of falling forever
- The Tab menu now works for players who joined by typing a friend code
- The s&box main-menu JOIN GAME button may not find freshly created worlds — use a friend code, Steam invite, or the in-game Public Worlds browser
