# The Next Chapter's Foundations
After... 3+ months? Jeez. This took a while, but this update FINALLY lays the foundations for the visual overhaul planned for 2.0.
From here on out, I've chosen to transition from the default BoatCam mod to **_sBoatCam_**, a mod maintained by _**Shizuya**_ (ho51), to include more options like a new algorithm and more options to change how the camera behaves.
> The old BoatCam algorithm is default. **To regain your settings, please subtract your old _Smoothness_ setting number from 100, and set that as your _Smoothing_ option. The strength at 50 is equal to the old behavior.**
It's not certain that this inclusion is permanent, but it will provide a more customizable experience for all players!
The other main headlines is reverting back to the Fabric loader, as Quilt was logging too much garbage, the inclusion of ***Early Loading Screen***, to make the game-load process more responsive, ***FancyMenu***, to make all the custom stuff work, and many of it's dependencies to lay the groundwork for 2.0. And of course, that little bit more quality of life and those performance fixes!
> _P.S. Don't like how things look? With Ctrl + Alt + C, a menu will pop up, select the first dropdown, and select "Killswitch all screen customization." This will globally disable any custom screens and buttons!_
### Patch notes:
- Added many, many, *many* new mods - mostly related to the inclusion of ***FancyMenu***
- Fixed excessive logging by changing the modloader from ***Quilt*** back to ***Fabric***
- The current IBRExtras config fails to provide a speedometer metric, to more closely mimick TrackMania's UI look and feel. If you must have one, the BoatHUD config should suffice.
- Added custom buttons to the main menu, game pause screen and official server list menu
- Changed out ***Boatcam*** for ***sBoatCam*** to include more customizability and further improvements to first-person players with the new algorithm and "look back" binds
- Added WIP custom menu to eventually replace the vanilla one. The vanilla menu will always remain accessible. The new menu can consume about 10-15MB more RAM when in use.
- Fixed a crash related to CompleteConfig due to being a version too new for a specific mod
- Changed the position and scaling of the scoreboard and made it more transparent to interfere less with racing
- Added a minimap that provides positions of players while racing, toggleable with Right-Alt
### Server update notes:
- Added custom menu for the official ice boat racing servers, together with their features - This opens up the oppurtunity to add more smaller servers within the normal multiplayer list, provided they're compatible with the modpack!
