Changes

Gameplay

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

    • The same as the regular F3 menu, except without the graph/profiler

Blocks & Items
