Voxels

A developer has ported their botparty project to SvelteKit, with plans to do the same for voxels if the migration proves successful. **Key motivation:** The original Preact/Express codebase was too idiosyncratic for AI coding assistants like Cursor to effectively debug and fix issues. **Additional updates:** - Work continues on avatars at [splat.land](http://splat.land) - Multiple bugs fixed that were previously difficult to debug in voxels - Users can hold 'v' to interact with the AI assistant The move represents a practical shift toward more standardized frameworks that work better with AI development tools, potentially making maintenance and bug fixes more efficient.

**Cryptovoxels multiplayer server is back online** after resolving rate-limiting issues. The problem stemmed from **faulty code that rate-limited all sessions** against a single Digital Ocean proxy IP address. This caused widespread connectivity problems for users. **Key fixes implemented:** - Removed problematic rate-limiting code entirely - Server now running smoothly without restrictions - All multiplayer functionality restored The development team acknowledged the technical oversight and apologized for the disruption to the virtual world experience.

**Major connectivity issue resolved** in Cryptovoxels virtual world after affecting users for an entire year. The blockchain-based metaverse platform announced they identified and fixed the bug that prevented players from seeing other users in the shared virtual environment. - Users can now properly interact with others in the world - Issue had persisted for approximately 12 months - Fix restores core social functionality to the platform This resolves a significant problem that impacted the social experience in the Ethereum-based virtual world where users build and trade digital property.

Cryptovoxels has launched its **new build UI** alongside incoming bug fixes. The release follows recent UI improvements and redesign work merged on October 5th.
