Anvil

  • Used for repairing, merging & naming items.
    • Three different damage states: "Anvil", "Slightly Damaged Anvil", and "Very Damaged Anvil".
    • Anvils cannot only rename tools and armor, but any item.
      • Renamed placeable items don't retain their name if placed.
    • Anvils can merge enchantments.
      • Items with two different enchantments give an item with both.
      • Items with the same enchantment increase the level of the enchantment if they have the same level or take only the highest if they don't.
      • Some enchantments can be lost during the merging because of incompatibility (ex: Sharpness I + Smite I).
        • The first item seems to have the priority (the lost enchantments are on the second item).
    • Anvils can also be dropped in a similar manner to sand, gravel, and dragon eggs.
      • When landing on a mob, the anvil deals damage relative to the distance it fell.

Creepers

  • Now can have custom explosion radius and fuse timer using edited mob spawners and NBT data (ExplosionRadius & Fuse).

Beacons

  • Potion-like effects given by the beacon now use semi-transparent particles, to be less intrusive.
  • Normal potions remain unchanged.

General

  • No longer forget that they are aggressive against a player in Creative mode after a few seconds.

Gameplay

[edit | edit source]

Experience

  • Can now be obtained by breeding animals.
  • Level-up sound now only plays every 5 levels.
    • Sound has been tweaked.

General

[edit | edit source]

Debug screen

  • F3 + H now shows tool and armor durability on damaged items – on maps it shows the zoom level.
  • Now shows which cardinal direction the player is facing on the "f" value.
  • The pie chart on the debug overlay is now shown when opening it using ⇧ Shift + F3 instead of vice versa.

Settings menu

  • Renamed "Chat Settings" to "Multiplayer Settings".
    • Contains the old chat settings menu.
    • Option for cape-owners to hide their capes in game.

Fixes

[edit | edit source]

5 bugs fixed

  • When placing the anvil in mid-air in a certain orientation the entity will be sideways until it lands.
  • Breaking the block under any anvil resets it to a regular anvil.
  • When using the /kill command, an error appears. When holding a block, it gives the normal message, but player doesn't die.
  • When in a multiplayer server and trying to rename an item, the client crashes if an entire name is erased.
  • Using Fortune ≥ IV (normally impossible to obtain) on gravel causes a game crash.
