Alternate Reality X – Development Status
At the time of writing (Sept 2018) of Alternate Reality X is under development, this status is based on the Java Edition. The list below is provided to give an indication of the features that are still to be fully completed or added to ARX. The list below can be searched and sorted by column so you can home in on the areas that interest you. I’ve also tried to indicate statuses of tasks.
