Additions

Items

Shields

• New tool used for blocking incoming attacks.
  • Holding right click while being attacked reduces damage on the player and the durability of the shield.
    • This works when the shield is either in the main hand or in the offhand.
      • The player can hold 2 shields at once, but it does not affect the damage taken.
• Can be combined with banners of the same base color to transfer its pattern.
  • This does not consume the banner.
• The player cannot attack while blocking.
• Crafting recipe: One column of wool (of the same color), one column of planks (any kind), an iron ingot in the middle of the last column.
• Can only be repaired on the anvil.
  • Requires planks to repair.
• Cannot be enchanted on the enchanting table, but can have Unbreaking added via an enchanted book.

Changes

Blocks

Brewing stands

• Can now accept splash potions into the lower slots.

Ender crystals

• New BeamTarget tag for ender crystals.
  • Used to specify a custom target for the beam.
  • Example: /summon EnderCrystal ~ ~1 ~ {BeamTarget:{X:1,Y:2,Z:3}}.

Items

Fire charges

• Now shoot as ender dragon fireballs when ejected from a dispenser, appearing purple and casting dragon's breath.
  • Before this, they had shot as blaze fireballs.
  • This was reverted in 15w44b to shoot as blaze fireballs once again.

Swords

• Can no longer be used for blocking, since shields now serve that function.

Mobs

Ender dragon

• Respawned ender dragons now drop 500 experience.
• Respawning the dragon now regenerates the circle of pillars, including the ender crystals and iron bars.
  • Explosion particles appear at the tops of the pillars as they are being rebuilt.
  • All end gateway portals are left intact.

Creepers, skeletons, & zombies

• Detection range for players wearing the corresponding mob head adjusted to be 37.5% of the normal range.

World generation

End ships

• No longer generate with a pumpkin.
• The middle iron block has been replaced with a hopper.
  • Inside, there is a book written by Searge.
    • It reads: "We will have something else here soon..."

General

Pick block

• Respects the tags of items in item frames while holding Ctrl.
