Additions

Gameplay

Bosses

  • Added boss names above boss health.

Changes

Blocks

Buttons

  • Changed recipes for stone/wood buttons.

Items

Armor

  • Leather and diamond armor textures slightly changed:
    • Leather armor sleeves are extended by one pixel.
    • Their item texture has been changed to match the new texture.
  • Diamond armor sleeves now have a notch on the inner side.

Maps

  • Now have a zoom level, which was fixed at 1:8 prior to snapshot 12w34a,[2] but now starts at 1:1 and can be increased up to 1:16 by re-crafting an existing map.
  • Are no longer numbered on the top-left corner and is labeled through the tooltip.

Mobs

Hostile mobs

  • Occasionally, zombies, skeletons, and zombie pigmen spawn with the ability to pick up items on the ground.
    • Armor automatically equips. Items are held instantly, which is not exclusive to weapons. This means zombies can be found holding items they have come across, such as rotten flesh.
    • This causes zombie pigmen to drop their sword, and skeletons to drop their bow.
    • The attribute applied to allow them to pick up items is called CanPickUpLoot.

Zombie pigmen

  • In the Overworld, zombie pigmen are eager to get back in the nether portal (e.g., if the player makes a portal and spawns zombie pigmen in Creative, they run into the portal).

Withers

  • When taken down to half health, they gain wither armor, making them immune to arrows.

Fixes
