Patch 0.13.2-b2928

Released: 30th November 2021

Due to a fix that was made to the world reset process, saves from the last experimental release (0.13.1) may continue to show old bugs when loaded in the latest version (which are now been fixed). This includes a fix to entities on the overworld being un-interactable. We strongly recommend starting a new save in the latest version and apologize for any inconvenience!
