  - Separately simulated regions of physics that dynamically merge/unmerge based on chunk loading
 
 Bug Fixes
- - Fix characters stored in db not saving items because the items aren't being stored to db
  - Fix hitbox placement does not scale with entity scale on server
  - Calculate bounding sphere for meshes by deforming vertices with bone default pose instead of no bone deform
  - Fix light cluster mapping for foliage shader
  - Fix flickering when applying yoga signal (may need to rethink arch here)
- - Fix virtual scrollables not working
+ - Fix particles not placing correctly on spawning
 
 Startup Performance
  - Allow texture map to bind multiple model paths to a single set of mesh->textures
