    • Added a Performance section.
    • Can be set to Max FPS, Balanced or Power saver.

Changes[]

Blocks[]

Glowstone JE1 Glowstone
  • Changed the material from "glass" to "stone".
    • This means the player would need a pickaxe to get resources from it.
    • This also means the player can now place redstone, torches, levers, etc. on the block.
  • Made glowstone drop more loot (2–4 glowstone dust).
  • Made the recipe sizes for creating glowstone smaller (2×2 glowstone dust items instead of 3×3).
White Wool JE1 BE1 Wool
  • Made the recipe sizes for creating wool smaller (2×2 strings instead of 3×3).

Items[]

Bone Meal JE1 BE1 Bone meal
  • Can grow grass and flowers on grass blocks.

Non-mob entities[]

Oak Boat JE1 Boats
  • Boats float up to the surface quicker.
  • Boats falling down into water lose their vertical momentum much faster.
  • Crashing into soul sand on a boat now kills the player, but keeps the boat intact.

Fixes[]

3 bugs fixed
  • Fixed beds not working very well in Multiplayer.
  • Destroying a boat will no longer spawn the player too low, causing them to sometimes fall through the ground.
  • ⇧ Shift+ clicking a tool into a chest no longer restores it to new.
