 # EndscreenTweaks Changelog
+## v1.4.1
+- Added "Custom Quotes Only" option, by popular demand. (If no custom quotes are found, the mod will fall back to anything enabled from the default set of quotes.)
+- Skip to v1.4.1 for consistency with DeathScreenTweaks.
 ## v1.3.0
 - Add config directory shortcut button.
 - Add "Fluked From %" options for Classic levels. (suggested by [yolodomo](https://discord.com/users/708984489283682327))
