Any chance we are going to see the hitPart EH locality bug fixed (https://dev-heaven.net/issues/27837)? It would be really nice to have this be in the next stable release so it can be pushed into use with mods and not have to require betas.

Why you so hate the admins?

Definitely not for 1.61 final. If everything goes well, this RC will become a final. If something goes terribly wrong, what went wrong will be fixed, but there will be no more fixes or new features for 1.61 final.
