  +
; [[Stained glass]]
  +
* Glass can be dyed into all 16 colors.
  +
** This is done by putting a colored dye in the center of a crafting table and surrounding it with 8 pieces of normal glass, yielding 8 stained glass.
  +
* Stained glass can be crafted into stained glass panes using the same recipe as normal glass panes.
  +
** Doing this yields 16 stained glass panes, like normal glass.
  +
* Water, nether portals and other stained glass blocks remain visible when looked at through a stained glass block.
  +
* Looking through a solid wall of glass blocks, is equivalent to looking through a single piece (this does not apply to glass panes of any kind).
  +
** Air blocks make the view blurrier each time.
  +
** Adjacent glass of different colors will ignore each other's colors, and will only render the terrain behind, with the color of the outermost piece of glass.
  +
** Other translucent blocks may have different effects.
  +
* Has ID number 95, which replaces the locked chest's data value.

  +
** Regular spruce trees still grow.
  +
  +
; [[Leaves]] variants

For a guide about all content in this release and the other releases of the Update that Changed the World, see Java Edition guides/The Update that Changed the World.

1.7.2, the first release of The Update that Changed the World,[1] is a major update to Minecraft (Java Edition) released on October 25, 2013, which added many new biomes, new generated structures, new flowers, stained glass, better networking, new commands and more.[2]

A pre-release for 1.7.2[2] was released earlier on October 25, 2013, though the full release of 1.7.2 is identical to this pre-release.

Additions

Blocks

Stained glass
  • Glass can be dyed into all 16 colors.
    • This is done by putting a colored dye in the center of a crafting table and surrounding it with 8 pieces of normal glass, yielding 8 stained glass.
  • Stained glass can be crafted into stained glass panes using the same recipe as normal glass panes.
    • Doing this yields 16 stained glass panes, like normal glass.
  • Water, nether portals and other stained glass blocks remain visible when looked at through a stained glass block.
  • Looking through a solid wall of glass blocks, is equivalent to looking through a single piece (this does not apply to glass panes of any kind).
    • Air blocks make the view blurrier each time.
    • Adjacent glass of different colors will ignore each other's colors, and will only render the terrain behind, with the color of the outermost piece of glass.
    • Other translucent blocks may have different effects.
  • Has ID number 95, which replaces the locked chest's data value.
Wood Varieties
  • Acacia wood
    • Silver outside with orange inside.
    • Makes up the acacia tree; found in Savanna biomes.
  • Dark oak wood
    • A darker version of the oak wood.

Saplings
  • Acacia and dark oak saplings added.
    • Dark oak saplings require a 2x2 configuration to grow, much like big jungle trees.
  • A 2x2 configuration of spruce saplings on the ground, can create the large spruce trees from mega taiga biomes.
    • Regular spruce trees still grow.
Leaves variants
  • Acacia and dark oak leaves.
    • Both visually identical to regular oak leaves.
Packed ice
  • When broken, it does not turn into water, like normal ice blocks do.
  • Does not melt.
  • Opaque, rather than translucent like normal ice.
Podzol
  • Dirt variation that fails to be transformed to it through any method.
  • Only found naturally in Mega Taiga Biomes.

    • Always face East.
    • Can be crafted into 2 yellow dye.
  • Peonies
    • Can be crafted into 2 pink dye.

World generation

Trees
Biomes
  • Mesa
    • Composed of multiple colored hardened clay that are layered in a way that resembles sedimentary rock.
      • There are seven colors including normal, orange, red, yellow, white, light gray and brown.

    • Generate with acacia trees.
    • Horses can spawn in this biome.
    • Villages may generate in here.
    • There is no rain in this biome.
    • Very flat with plateaus and the occasional giant mountain.
  • Sunflower Plains
    • Exactly the same as plains, but can spawn sunflowers.
  • Roofed Forest
    • Generates with giant mushrooms.
      • Aside from mushroom island, it is the only biome to do so.

    • Is about ten blocks deeper than normal oceans; the maximum depth is in the low 30s.
Biome Variants/Technical Biomes
World type
  • AMPLIFIED
    • It scales up all world generation rules, so it uses the entire world height.
      • Almost all biomes can generate huge mountains that can reach well above Y: 200.
        • Extreme Hills biomes frequently reach the world height limit at Y: 256.
        • Swampland and ocean biomes are unaffected by this world type.
    • Extremely resource intensive and requires powerful computer to run.
    • Ravines here can reach down to bedrock.
    • Contains numerous various landforms that are very rare or non-existent in default generation.
      • Some examples include floating islands, overhangs, large water and lava falls and huge indents.
    • Taiga biomes reach such altitudes that snow starts generating (about Y=130).
    • It was created to test a fix, to reduce the number of lighting glitches, but it was kept as a feature on request of Notch.

World generation

Minecraft 1.6 and 1

Comparsion between biome maps of Minecraft 1.6 and 1.7.

Biomes
  • Jungle
    • Melons can now be found in patches similar to pumpkins.
    • Jungle biomes have been made much rarer.
    • Has a jungle edge which has less foliage, but slowly leads into the main jungle.
    • Jungle trees now generate with branches.
  • Swampland
    • Grass is greener and fluctuates more in color, depending on biome temperature.
    • In shallower parts, the coast is covered in staggered dirt block with lily pads between them.
    • Spawn with Blue Orchid flowers.
  • Plains
    • Generates three of the new flowers – azure bluets, oxeye daisies and sometimes tulips.
    • Double tall grass can also generate here.
  • Extreme Hills
    • Snow at high elevations of over y=95.
    • Contain Stone and large dirt patches.
    • Gravel can replace ground cover.
    • Flat valleys near sea level.
    • Can generate up to y=150, slightly above the clouds (previously y=124).
    • Has much more height variation and has flat parts as well, as opposed to the previous extreme hills which forced endless high peaks to generate.
  • Cold taiga
    • Old taiga biomes have been renamed to "cold taiga".
    • The name "taiga" is now used for a variant without snow.
  • Ocean
    • Oceans are smaller and take up much less of the map.
    • Contain only gravel on the floor instead of sand, dirt and gravel.
  • Gravel Beaches
    • Appear more often.
Biome categorization
  • Four main categories based on temperature:
    • Snow-covered, cold, medium and dry/warm.
  • Biomes will attempt to avoid getting placed next to a biome that is too different to itself.
Biome elevation
  • Much greater variation of elevation in general.
  • Most biomes can generate to y=100.
  • Hills technical biomes have been made taller.
Temperature
  • Each biome has a base temperature that determines whether the biome is snow-covered, whether it rains or snows, or whether it rains at all.
  • Biomes are grouped according to their temperature and attempt to generate next to biomes with similar temperatures.
  • Temperature decreases by 0.05 every 30 blocks increase in altitude.
Caverns
  • Are less dense and interconnected.
Witch huts
  • Now generate with a witch inside.
    • They formerly generated empty, with witches spawning inside later.
Bonus chests
  • Can now contain acacia logs.
World boundary
  • All blocks beyond X/Z 30 million (±30,000,000) from origin now act as solid blocks.
    • This includes air blocks.
    • This creates essentially an invisible wall at the boundary.
    • As all blocks function as solid, if the player is moved outside the boundary via external tools, they will be unable to move outside the block space they are within.
      • Despite that, the camera can still move normally.
    • Ghost chunks still generate.

Gameplay

Fishing
Enchanting
  • "Unbreaking" can now be applied to any item with durability.
  • New enchantments for fishing rods that can bias the outcome of fishing.

    • "Luck of the Sea" – increases chance of getting treasure and decreases chance of getting junk.
  • Enchanted books can receive multiple enchantments at once.
Nether Portal
  • Can now have different width and height, to allow for design variations.
    • If the one in the Nether is big enough, ghasts can go through them.
  • Portals can be activated when any fire block appears inside the frame.
    • Before only the bottom-most blocks would work.
  • New nether portal building rules: Any rectangular size from 4×5 to 23×23.

Death Screen
  • If the player dies and selects the 'Title screen' button, a prompt will ask if they are sure they want to quit, and give the player the options to go to the title screen or respawn and continue playing.

Command format

Scoreboard
  • Can now use statistics and achievements to create objectives.
    • Added 744 new objective criteria that were previously tracked only through statistics and achievements.
Commands

      • /summon Pig ~ ~ ~ {Saddle:1,CustomName:"Babe",CustomNameVisible:1}
      • /setblock ~ ~ ~ 397 3 replace {SkullOwner:MHF_Pig}
    • This removes the need to use external tools.

    • Will print renamed items' name by default in chat.
      • The chat will show the corresponding tooltips when hovered over.
NBT format
  • Unbreakable tag.

    • NBT structure consists of the individual parts of each structure, labeled "children," the chunk it originates in, a tag called BB, and an ID for what type of structure it is.
      • The children tags have information on each part of the structure and the type of part it is.
Block/Item IDs
  • Can be referred to by their names, instead of numbers in commands.
    • Will be the only option in the future.
    • Necessary for the Plugin API.
