MRCL
(Minecraft Replika of Code Lyoko)

The MRCL Changelog allows you to see our progression on features we want to
implement on the server. Be aware that we’ll try to update this list as frequently as
possible.

Features will not be released in any specific order, but it’s safe to assume that
more complex ones will take more time and resources, and will be released
alongside similar features.

It’s likely that we’ll pack features into update groups when they’re closer to release.
