Additions

Blocks

Concrete

• Comes in the 16 traditional dye colors
• Created when Concrete Powder comes into contact with still or flowing water

Concrete powder

• Comes in the 16 traditional dye colors
• Gravity affected (like sand and gravel).
• When it touches water, it turns into a Concrete block.
• Craftable. Crafting: 4 sand, 4 gravel and one of any dye to get 8 concrete powder blocks. The recipe is shapeless.

Glazed terracotta

• Comes in the 16 traditional dye colors
• Smelt any colored stained clay in a furnace to obtain the glazed terracotta of that color (not for regular hardened clay).
• Can be placed in 4 directions: north, south, west, and east.
  • When placed down while facing the right directions, a repeating pattern can be created. For example, the white glazed terracotta will create the pattern of a sun when 4 are placed down correctly.

General

Creative

• Added "Saved Toolbars" tab
  • Save toolbars in Creative Mode with Ctrl+1-9/⌘ Cmd+1-9 and load them with ⇧ Shift+1-9.
  • Can save up to 9 toolbars.
  • If an empty toolbar is saved, it will clear the bookmarked toolbar and put back the 'informational paper' in the respective slot.
