Non-mob entities[]
- Triggered by activator rails
- Crafting recipe is a TNT block on top of a minecart (allowing for creation in the 2x2 inventory)
- When it derails, it explodes instantly, ignoring the usual timer delay
- Explodes even more violently the faster it goes
- In Creative mode when left clicked while moving, the Minecart with TNT explodes
Gameplay[]
- Now includes the cause of death, the player the deceased player was fighting at time of death, and the name of the item used to kill.
- For death messages for fall damage, a complicated system was introduced.
- There are now two types of messages, "[player] <first>" and "[player] <first> and <last>".
- <first> can be:
- fell [off a ladder/off some vines/out of the water/fell from a high place]
- was [shot/pummeled/blown/fireballed/knocked] [off a ladder/off some vines/out of the water/from a high place]
- was [shot/pummeled/blown/fireballed/knocked] [off a ladder/off some vines/out of the water/from a high place] by [player/mob]
- <last> can be:
- into a pool of lava
- fell out of the world
- into a patch of fire
- into a patch of cacti
- got finished off by [player/mob]
- got finished off by [player/mob] using [item]
- got finished off using [item]
- <first> can be:
- There are 352 different death messages for falling. (Technically there are 416 because the verb "blown" exists twice in the en_US.lang file.)
- There are now two types of messages, "[player] <first>" and "[player] <first> and <last>".
Changes[]
This section is missing information about ID changes for empty minecarts and minecart with furnace/chest.
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
Blocks[]
- Improved naming of containers
- Renamed Chests, Trapped Chests, Dispensers, Furnaces, Brewing Stands, and Enchantment Tables will display the new name in their GUI where the normal name used to appear.
- Is now controllable by redstone – Power it to disable item forwarding.
- Added a proper icon.
- Is no longer considered wooden (cannot be used as a fuel in a furnace, etc.).
- New crafting recipe uses iron ingots rather than stone.
- The redstone signal emitted when a redstone comparator is placed against it directly has changed.
- 1 item will give a signal strength of 1, a 1/3 of a stack (21 for items which stack to 64) gives a signal strength of 2.
- The number of full stacks x 3 = Signal strength.
- E.g. 2 stacks of an item/block will give a signal strength of 6, while 2 potions will also give a signal strength of 6 (because a potion occupies one stack).
- Changed textures.
- Flow faster in the nether
- Can be found as single block within netherrack
- Updated texture.
- When fed by containers, they will now start giving out a signal as soon as 1 item is in the container, allowing for empty container detection.
- The final "seamless" stone slab (and, by extension, smooth stone) has been removed as a result of the addition of quartz slabs
- Now in Decoration Blocks in creative mode inventory.
Mobs[]
- General
- Improved naming of spawn eggs
- Mobs spawned from renamed eggs have the name of the egg and the names will appear in the death message.
- Mobs can now display their custom name as nametag using an NBT tag.
- Improved aiming.
- Now shoots from 15 blocks away, instead of 10
- Accuracy changes by difficulty
World generation[]
- Changed the chests to Minecart with chest.
Gameplay[]
- Updated language files.
- Language files can now be updated via the background downloader (no need for a new Minecraft release).
- Changed the missing texture from to
- Is now present in the texture atlases stitched_terrain.png and stitched_items.png
- Textures now use one file per block/item, which are stitched together at runtime – Texture sizes don't need to be consistent.
- Any block and item can be animated by putting the frames underneath each other in the right .png – Use an optional .txt to specify frame order and duration.
- Special rules apply for water, lava, compass, and clock.
- Existing texture packs will "automagically" be converted.
- Vanilla textures will be used if texture files are missing.
