/UPDATES
Browse Echelon update threads and view section-by-section patch notes in a dedicated in-game update room.
Who Can Use It: Players
Main Use: Open update threads, choose a section, and read it in a rendered map view
What It Does
The /updates feature lets you open the server's update feed and choose a specific update thread, then drill into sections of that thread.
When you pick a section, it is rendered into a readable visual board in the Updates world so you can review patch notes in-game.
How Players Use It
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Run /updates |
| 2 | Select an update thread from the thread list menu |
| 3 | Select a section from that thread |
| 4 | Wait for the render message, then you are teleported to the update view |
| 5 | Use the navigation prompt to return to spawn or open another update section |
Thread And Section Behavior
- Thread titles are shown as selectable entries in a menu.
- Inside a thread, section headings become selectable section entries.
- If a thread has no detected section headings, it still opens under a fallback section so you can read it.
- Each selected section is prepared before teleporting you to the view room.
