This release brings some significant performance and I think you'll like to see the Material tab being back. Did I mention that we have almost full 1.16 support?
This is one of the biggest updates for Chunky 2.x so far and it wouldn't be possible without the new contributors that are now working on Chunky. I'm really happy to see the new community based efforts. We are also trying to refactor the codebase so that contributing to it gets easier. If you want to contribute to Chunky and have any questions, our Discord server is a good place to start.
