Beta 3.5.0 was a major update to the Betweenlands for Minecraft 1.12.2 that was released on November 4, 2019. It was known as the Mud 'n Sludge, Embers 'n Censers update as it added the Sludgeon and its many layers and encounters, as well as a variety of blocks and mobs related to the new structure, Emberlings, Censers, new items and equipment, Gallery Frames to showcase fan art, massive loot table changes, and several other changes and bug fixes. It is the largest update to the mod to date.
