Additions

Mobs

Iron golems

General

Controls

  • Added camera controls.
    • These were accidentally added. Jeb noted them as "deadmau5 camera" controls and would likely be removed again in an upcoming snapshot.[2][3]
    • Pressing F6 causes the player to get "stuck" to the camera until F6 is pressed again. This allows players to appear to phase into blocks.
    • Pressing F9 causes the camera to freeze in its position, allowing to see the player model rotating in third person view.
    • Pressing Y, H, U, O, I, K, J, L, N and M change the camera positioning in a variety of ways. While pressing two functionally connected keys at the same time the camera may be reset (example: Y + H reverts that view back to normal, but U + O does not).

Changes

Blocks

Stairs

  • Can now be placed upside-down.

World generation

General

  • Lava ponds and flat stone areas now generate on the surface more frequently.

General

Languages

  • Removed some Canadian English stereotypes.
