Changes
Gameplay
- Added chat history and much better chat editing
- Links are now clickable in chat
- When clicked, a warning screen appears that asks players if they want to continue
- Players can copy and paste links in chat
- Mouse wheel can be used to scroll up/down for history
- PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN keys can also be used
- Up/down keys for recently sent messages
- If you start typing a player's name, and press Tab ↹, it'll automatically type the rest of the username for you.
- Copy & paste in chat
- Similarly how §k in chat displays random characters, §l, §m, §n and §o creates bold, striked, underlined and italic text respectively, whilst §r resets any set states
- These cannot be typed using vanilla clients
- Pressing / acts as a command key: it opens the chat with a “/” in place
- Pressing ← or → will move the insertion point (text pointer) in the respective direction, allowing you to edit text instead of using ← Backspace to go back
- Out of Memory Screen
- Added “Back” and “Quit” buttons
- F3 debug screen
- Added a “minimal” debug menu
- The same as the regular F3 menu, except without the graph/profiler
- Accessible by ⇧ Shift+F3
- Re-added armor outlines in the armor slots in the inventory
Blocks & Items
- Slightly removed saturation out of every color
Mobs
- When in standing position, cats will now purposely go and sit on nearby chests, active furnaces, and beds
- This prevents players from using them
