1.7.2 (The Update that Changed the World)	October 25, 2013	1.7.2 General Improvements & Changes Resource packs Complete menu overhaul The ability to select multiple resource packs at once. Resource packs at the top take precedence over those below if files appear more than once Allows for non-manual merging of textures from multiple packs, a sound pack and a different texture pack, etc. Servers can offer resource packs Max size increased to 50 MB Sounds You are now able to add new sounds using resource packs Resource packs can now add, remove, supplement, randomize, and group sounds using JSON Sounds and music are now stored together in the new .minecraft/assets/sounds folder Music now pauses when pausing the game Network Code Completely rewritten Uses Netty now Most packets won't change, handshake and ping procedure redone There is a packet length header Lighting Several lighting issues fixed. A lot fewer "black spots" in the terrain generator. Torch bugs in strongholds and abandoned mineshafts have been fixed. The light level actually falls to 7 during thunderstorms now (before it stayed at 12 like normal rain but hostile mobs could spawn as if the light level was 7). The clouds go black and the sky goes much darker. Options Grouped a few options into the Controls section, allowed rebinding of 1-9 hotkeys, screenshot key, cinematic camera toggle (can be rebinded and no longer has a default key), camera switching and added sprint button which will keep re-engaging sprint whenever possible (left control by default) Music & Sounds Now allows separate volume controls for Master Volume, Music, Jukebox/Noteblocks, Weather, Blocks, Hostile Creatures, Friendly Creatures, Players and Ambient/Environment The Resource Pack screen Now a split view to list selected and unselected resource packs - multiple resource packs can now be used simultaneously with higher priority resource packs getting to use eventual duplicate textures/files Video Settings Render Distance is now a slider ranging from 2 to 16 chunks, Max Framerate is now a slider ranging from 10 to 250 fps, Unlimited; Mipmapping can be set to levels 1 to 4 or disabled, Anisotropic Filtering can be set to 2, 4, 8, 16 or disabled Super Secret Settings Plays a random sound when clicked and cycles through various experimental shaders: fxaa, art, bumpy, blobs2, pencil, color_convolve, deconverge, flip, invert, ntsc, outline, phosphor, scan_pincushion, sobel, bits, desaturate, green, blur, wobble, blobs, antialias Language Selection Added 'Force Unicode Font' option which allows you to change whether Unicode font is forced for text or not. Inventory In creative mode, the display item for the Decoration Blocks tab changed from Rose to Peony. Server list Can now be refreshed using F5 Added server icons Lists the current players on a server when you hover over the player number Added support for multi-line MOTD comments which do not go offscreen Hovering over the player count will now show a few online players Logging Now done using Log4j 2 Default logging location is now in logs/latest.logs, older logs are archived in logs/<year>-<month>-<day>-1.lg.gz with the number at the end increasing each startup The way logs are saved can be changed to, for example, html pages, databases, errors only, no logging at all Minecraft Realms Started preparing buying support internally Started offering an option to download the world map Gameplay Additions Commands /setidletimeout Automatically kick idle players after some time Multiplayer-only command, can be used only by server operators Usage: /setidletimeout <Minutes until kick> /tellraw Is written in json to create "buttons" and formatted text (underlined, bold, italics, colored, etc.) in chat. Usage: /tellraw <player> <raw json message> /summon Used to spawn any entity in the game, including Giants, Ender Crystals, Ender Dragons, and primed TNT. Usage: /summon <EntityName> [x] [y] [z] [dataTag] /achievement Used to give a player achievements. Usage: /achievement give <stat_name> [player] /setblock Used to create, delete, or replace a block. Usage: /setblock [x] [y] [z] <BlockID> [data] [method] [dataTag] /testforblock Checks for blocks in specific locations. Usage: /testforblock <x> <y> <z> <TileName> [dataValue] [dataTag] /setworldspawn Sets the world spawn point for all players (even if they have never joined the server or are offline, but will not override beds). Usage: /setworldspawn [x] [y] [z] Particle effects Fishing now has particle effects. Bubbles will show up moving towards your bobber just before you have something on your hook. This has the appearance of a fish swimming towards the hook. Falling now has particle effects. Particle size depends on distance fallen. New achievements Repopulation Breed two cows with Wheat Requires the "Cow Tipper" achievement Diamonds to you! Throw Diamonds at another player or to a zombie that has the CanPickUpLoot NBT tag Requires the "DIAMONDS!" achievement Adventuring Time Discover all Biomes Requires the "The End?" achievement The Beginning? Spawn the Wither Requires the "The End." achievement The Beginning. Kill the Wither Requires the "The Beginning?" achievement Beaconator Create a full beacon Requires the "The Beginning." achievement New statistics Distance by Horse Junk Fished Treasure Fished Mobs statistics Improvements & Changes Fishing Changes to fishing mechanics Items other than fish can be obtained by fishing. Fish: 4 items total, including Raw Fish, Raw Salmon, Clownfish, and Pufferfish.

Junk: 13 items total, including damaged fishing rods, water bottles, rotten flesh, string, leather, bowls, sticks, bones, tripwire hooks, ten stacked Ink Sacs, or damaged leather boots. New enchantments for Fishing Rods that can change your luck when fishing. Lure - reduces wait time to catch an item. Luck of the Sea - increases chance of getting treasure and decreases chance of getting junk. Achievements and statistics Now ties in with the scoreboard system - added 744 new objective criteria that were previously tracked with statistics and achievements Are now per world/server Achievements screen can now be zoomed in and out using the mouse wheel. Achievements don't appear on the achievements screen if more than five achievements need to be achieved first (i.e. "DIAMONDS!" doesn't appear until "Getting Wood" is achieved). Data for blocks, items, and mobs don't appear in their respective tab in the Statistics screen unless the player has crafted/placed/mined that block, crafted/used/depleted that item, or killed/was killed by that mob. When a player earns an achievement it is now announced in chat. This can be turned off on servers by changing a line in the server.properties file. Can be hovered over to show an achievement tooltip Cannot be turned off in Singleplayer Scoreboard Can now use statistics to create objectives; anything that statistics can track can be used as an objective (can also track achievements) This is the reason why statistics/achievements were changed to be stored per world/server Commands /give Can now give items to players with custom names, lore and enchantments Can give items with other custom NBT tags, such as SkullOwner to obtain the Head of a specific player, or even custom mob spawner traits, which removes the necessity to use an NBT editing program to obtain these items. Will now print renamed items' name in chat and show tooltips when hovered over Usage: /give <player> <ID> [quantity] [damage value] [dataTag] /time Now sets the time to 1000 instead of 0 /time Now sets the time to 13000 instead of 12000 Custom NBT data can now be added via commands Works with /give and /summon Syntax examples: /give @p 1 1 0 {display:{Lore:["Hi,","How are you?"],Name:"Nice Stone Block"},ench:[{id:1,lvl:10}]} /summon Pig ~ ~ ~ {Saddle:1, CustomName:"Babe", CustomNameVisible:1} /give @p 397 1 3 {SkullOwner:MHF_Pig} NBT format List tags no longer need to be named No longer crashes when given the wrong type (integer/short) Chat system "Useful to map makers, modders, players and server admins" Added a way to do things when clicking things in chat, like executing a command Other actions include opening a URL and showing an item tooltip when hovered on "Saved screenshot as" messages can now be clicked to open the screenshot, takes you to the .minecraft folder Names can now be clicked to PM people Added /tellraw <player> <raw json message> to send chat messages with custom functionality to players - sender will not appear Syntax example: /tellraw @p {text:"Daytime? ",color:"green",extra:[{text:"Click here!",color:"blue",clickEvent:{action:"run_command",value:"/time set day"}},{text:" Nighttime? "},{text:"Click here!",color:"blue",clickEvent:{action:"run_command",value:"/time set night"}},{text:" Have fun!"}]} Fog Removed the thin fog around the player Fog is only at the edge of the visible chunks now Death Screen If you die and you select the 'Title screen' button, a prompt will ask if you are sure you want to quit and give you the options to go to the title screen or respawn and continue playing Edge of the World All blocks beyond X/Z 30 million (±30,000,000) from origin now act as solid blocks. This includes air blocks. This creates essentially an invisible wall at the boundary. As all blocks function as solid, if the player is moved outside the boundary via external tools, they will be unable to move outside the block space they are within. Despite the above, the camera can still move normally. This reveals that ghost chunks still generate, as the camera can pass through normally solid blocks beyond the boundary. Block/Item IDs Can now be referred to by their names instead of numbers. Will be the only option in the future. Necessary for the Plugin API. Visuals Changed F3+B visuals Block bounding boxes are now completely black instead of dark grey The sky now darkens when inside. Nether Portal Planned to have odd width to allow for design variations, and, if the one in the Nether is big enough, ghasts can go through them. Portals can now be activated from any block within the portal, not just the bottom (when any fire block appears inside the frame) New nether portal building rules: Any size from 4x5 to 23x23, but rectangular Enchanting Unbreaking can now appear on any item without the use of an Anvil Enchanted Books can now receive multiple enchants at once World Generation Additions Trees Acacia Tree Curved trees made of Acacia Wood These spawn in Savanna biomes Dark Oak Trees Very large, short trees These spawn in Roofed Forest biomes Biomes Mesa Composed of multiple colored hardened clay that are layered in a way that resembles sedimentary rock There are seven colours including normal, orange, red, yellow, white, light grey and brown. Has a floor similar to a desert biome, but made of red sand instead of sand Dead bushes spawn in this biome Occasional dying forests spawn on top of the clay mountains There is no rain in this biome Savanna Acacia trees New wood, sapling, and leaf type Horses can spawn in this biome NPC Villages may generate in savanna biomes There is no rain in this biome Very flat with plateaus and the occasional giant mountain Sunflower Plains Exactly the same as Plains, but can spawn Sunflowers Roofed Forest Has dark grass and giant mushrooms Has Dark Oak trees; dark and dangerous under the canopy even during the day New wood, sapling, and leaf type Monsters will most likely be able to spawn during the day and the night Monsters that spawned at night can survive during the day This is the first biome aside from Mushroom Island that naturally spawns with giant mushrooms Birch Forest A forest made entirely of birch trees Flower Forest Forest variant with several of the new flowers, including peonies, orange tulips, white tulips, oxeye daisies, rose bush and allium Very densely packed with the various new flowers Taiga Now generates without snow The previous taiga biomes are now Cold Taiga biomes Mega Taiga This is a very rare biome Contains 2x2 Spruce trees Has a dirt block variant known as Podzol. Currently obtained only by the silk touch enchantment. Contains dirt blocks that do not allow grass to grow. Moss Stone "boulders" are scattered around in this biome. Dead bushes, mushrooms, and ferns spawn in this biome. Extreme Hills+ Contains spruce trees Goes considerably higher than the normal Extreme Hills Ice Plains Spikes Contains giant ice spires similar to upside down icicles made of Packed Ice These ice spikes can reach y=120 from normal ground Lakes of packed ice are dotted around the biome Deep Ocean Is about ten blocks deeper than normal oceans, the maximum depth is in the low 30s Biome Variants/Technical Biomes Over 20 variants for the biomes. M - Biomes with an M variant are much rarer than any other variant. Extreme Hills M, Taiga M, Roofed Forest M, JungleEdge M, Birch Forest Hills M, Cold Taiga M, Extreme Hills+ M, Savanna M, Savanna Plateau M, Swampland M, Jungle M, Mesa Plateau M and Mesa Plateau F M are more mountainous versions of their normal biome counterpart. Desert M has patches of water unlike normal deserts Birch Forest M has taller birch trees than usual Savanna M has grassless dirt and mountains that can generate above the clouds and up to Y: 220 on rare occasions Plateau - Biomes with a Plateau variant are like the hills technical biome, but flattened at the top Savanna Plateau and Mesa Plateau are both plateaus These are landforms which are raised by up to about 30 blocks and have flat tops Mesa Plateau F - A variant of the plateau with trees Mesa (Bryce) - A rare variant of the Mesa biome which works similar to ice spikes with tall clay spikes generating from the sandy mesa floor. Hills - More technical hills biomes have been added to fit with the new biomes. Birch Forest Hills, Cold Taiga Hills, and Mega Taiga Hills can now be generated. Beach - New beaches separate certain biomes from oceans and rivers. Stone Beach is composed mainly of Stone and often generates between an Extreme Hills biome and a body of water. Cold Beach is composed of Sand with a layer of Snow on top. Usually generates between a cold biome, such as Ice Plains, and a body of water. World type AMPLIFIED Amplifies the terrain hugely, using the entire world height Almost all biomes can generate huge mountains that can reach well above Y: 200 Extreme Hills biomes frequently reach the world height limit at Y: 256 Swampland and ocean biomes unaffected by this world type Extremely resource intensive and requires powerful computer to run Ravines here can reach down to bedrock Contains numerous various landforms that are very rare or non-existent in default generation Some examples include floating islands, overhangs, large water and lava falls and huge indents Taiga biomes reach such altitudes that snow starts generating (about Y: 130) This will cause great lag if your computer is slow Improvements & Changes Biomes Jungle Melons can now be found in Jungle Biomes in patches similar to Pumpkins Jungle biomes have been made much rarer Has a Jungle Edge which has less foliage, but slowly leads into the main jungle Jungle trees now have branches Swampland Grass is greener and fluctuates more in color, depending on biome temperature In shallower parts, the coast is covered in staggered dirt block with lilypads between them Plains Now spawns with three of the new flowers - azure bluets, oxeye daisies and sometimes tulips Double tall grass also generates here Extreme Hills Snow at high elevations of over y=95 Contain Stone and large dirt patches Gravel can replace ground cover Flat valleys near sea level Can generate up to y=150, slightly above the clouds (previously y=124) Has much more height variation and has flat parts as well, as opposed to the previous extreme hills which forced endless high peaks to generate Ocean Oceans are smaller and take up much less of the map Contain only gravel on the floor instead of sand, dirt, and gravel Gravel Beaches Appear more often Categorisation of Biomes Four main categories based on temperature Snow-covered, cold, medium, dry/warm Placement of Biomes Biomes will attempt to avoid getting placed next to a biome that is too different to itself Elevation of Biomes Much greater variation of elevation in general Most biomes can generate to y=100 Hills technical biomes have been made taller Modified the temperature system Each biome has a base temperature that determines whether the biome is snow-covered, whether it rains or snows, or whether it rains at all Biomes with a base temperature of 0.15 or less snow instead of rain Biomes with a base temperature of 1.5 or greater don't rain Biomes are grouped according to their temperature and attempt to generate next to biomes with similar temperatures Temperature decreases by 0.05 every 30 blocks increase in altitude Extreme Hills generate snow because of this at about y=95 as their ground base temperature is 0.2 Bonus Chests Bonus chests now also contain Acacia logs Blocks & Items Additions Wood Varieties Acacia Wood Silver outside with orange inside Makes up the Acacia Tree, found in Savanna biomes Dark Oak Wood A darker version of the Oak Wood Makes up the Dark Oak Tree, found in Roofed Forest biomes Acacia Wood Planks Orange in appearence Dark Oak Wood Planks Same texture as normal oak planks but darkened almost black Acacia and Dark Oak Wood Slabs Acacia and Dark Oak Wood Stairs Saplings Acacia Sapling, found in savannas Dark Oak Sapling, found in roofed forests Must have 4 saplings placed in a 2x2 square to be grown, much like Big Jungle Trees 2x2 spruce saplings now create the large spruce trees from Mega Taiga biomes Leaves Acacia leaves Dark Oak leaves Both visually identical to oak leaves Fish Pufferfish Restores If eaten, you will be given Poison IV for 1 minute, Hunger III and Nausea II for 15 seconds Used to brew a water breathing potion Salmon Can be cooked and eaten Uncooked: Restores Cooked: Restores Clownfish Usage still unknown besides being eaten and used to tame Ocelots Restores Packed Ice When broken, does not turn to water like normal ice blocks do Does not melt Opaque, rather than translucent like normal ice Podzol New dirt variation Only found in Mega Taiga Biomes Grassless Dirt Grass can not grow on it Obtainable only through /give Red Sand Generated in the Mesa biome Behaves like normal sand (can be smelted into Glass and crafted into TNT) Flowers Red, Orange, White and Pink Tulips Can be crafted to Red, Orange, Light Gray, and Pink Dyes, respectively Blue Orchid Can be crafted to Light Blue Dye Allium Can be crafted to Magenta Dye Azure Bluet Can be crafted to Light Gray Dye Oxeye Daisy Can be crafted to Light Gray Dye Poppy Replacement for the rose - roses no longer exist All flowers can burn All flowers and grasses are now randomly offset to the sides like tall grass Two blocks tall Flowers Applying bonemeal to them causes them to dispense a flower item that can be collected. Therefore, all two blocks tall flowers are renewable. Sunflowers Typically face East Can be grown, unlike Roses and Dandelions Can be crafted into 2 Yellow Dye Peonies Can be crafted into 2 Pink Dye Rose bush Can be crafted into 2 Red Dye Lilac Can be crafted into 2 Magenta Dye Two block tall grass Double Tallgrass Can be made by applying Bone Meal to Tall Grass. Large Fern Can be made by applying Bone Meal to Fern. New variants of Monster Egg Includes Mossy Stone Brick Monster Egg, Cracked Stone Brick Monster Egg and Chiseled Stone Brick Monster Egg. Added to fix a bug where Silverfish entering Mossy, Cracked, or Chiseled Stone Brick would cause the block to change into regular Stone Brick. Minecart with Command Block Can only be obtained using /give (item ID minecraft:command_block_minecart) or /summon (entity ID MinecartCommandBlock) Activate using activator rails Run their command every 2 redstone ticks when powered (activates once when passing over an activator rail at full speed) Potion of Water Breathing Made by brewing a Pufferfish with an Awkward Potion Enables you to breathe underwater for 3 minutes without oxygen bar depleting The potion is dark blue in appearance Stained Glass Glass can now be dyed into all 16 colours This is done by putting a coloured dye in the centre of a crafting table and surrounding it with 8 pieces of normal glass, yielding 8 stained glass Stained glass can be crafted into stained glass panes using the same recipe as normal glass panes Doing this yields 16 stained glass planes, like normal glass Water, nether portals, and other stained glass blocks remain visible when looked at through a stained glass block The colour of blocks they are placed on are tinted towards the colour of the glass This includes glass of two different colours behind one another Improvements & Changes Wood Wooden logs now have different textures for their top and bottom (with the exception of Oak Logs) Written Books Can now be cloned the same way maps can, but by using Book and Quills instead of Empty Maps. Can clone multiple copies of the same Written Book by putting more Book and Quills in the crafting grid. Can now be stacked (up to 16 per stack) Item Frames Now drop the item inside them when punched, then drop themselves if they are punched when empty Will display the name of the item they hold (if it is custom-named) when looked at up close Maps now display on a full block basis and no longer display player markers Weighted Pressure Plates Now output a signal relative to the amount of entities on them, always starting at 1 signal strength if any entities are present For Light Weighted Pressure Plates, every entity adds 1 strength to the signal For Heavy Weighted Pressure Plates, starting at 1, every 10 entities adds 1 strength to the signal (Example: 11 entities increases signal strength to 2) Sugar Cane Color/shade is now affected by the biome color (similar to leaves, grass, vines, etc.) Flint and Steel Is now a shapeless crafting recipe. Can now be used to ignite Creepers Dead Bushes Can now be placed on Hardened Clay, Stained Clay, and Dirt. Command Blocks Now show what command it ran recently.

Now show colors for Colored Wool and Stained Clay, allowing a wider range of colors visible on maps Each different type of block has a different shading on the map Ice, Portals & Water Now visible through each other If Water is directly adjacent to Ice, when looking through the ice you cannot see the Water. However, you can see the Ice when looking through Water. If Water is not directly adjacent to Ice, you can see the Water when looking through the Ice You can no longer see the Water surface from underwater Iron Bars & Glass Panes Now connect to each other Cauldrons Cauldrons with water in them will now put out burning entities, taking away one water level each time Boats No longer inflict fall damage when running aground - replace existing Boats to fix them Slightly improved boats being broken by Lily Pads Boats have been reverted to the previous WASD controls Note that the A and D keys can be used only while the W key is pressed Players can now "sprint" in boats, which speeds them up slightly Mobs Improvements & Changes Iron Golems Now drop poppies instead of roses Creepers Can now be detonated using a flint and steel. Zombies Reduced the lag that zombies create Spiders, Cave Spiders, & Endermen Don't become hostile when attacking them in Creative Mode Baby Zombies & Baby Zombie Pigmen Can now walk in one block tall spaces, but their hitbox remains the size of that of an adult Witches Can drop a Potion of Water Breathing upon death as a rare drop Now drink a Potion of Water Breathing when they are trapped underwater Have been added to the mix of low light-level hostile mobs, now spawning anywhere where the light level is below 7, including at night in every biome and in caverns They usually spawn in pairs They have roughly the same spawn rate as the Enderman Witch Huts now generate with a Witch inside.
