Changes

Blocks


- New textures that now vary depending on what direction they are placed from, similar to dispensers and pistons.
- It consists of a front, a back and a side texture (looks like arrows), so the orientation can be easily determined.
- The texture is animated - the colored "buttons" in the middle change color.
- The middle panel texture has a black outline.
- 3 modes: impulse, chain, and repeat - color changes based on mode.
- Impulse mode (orange): Command is run once on rising edge.
- Same behavior and color as previous versions.
- Chain mode (green): Command is run whenever another command block pointing into it executes, and the command block in question is powered.
- Repeat mode (blue): Command is run every game tick while powered.
- Like a minecart with command block but faster.
- Each new mode has its own block id and is obtainable with
/giveand pick block.
- Impulse mode (orange): Command is run once on rising edge.
- Power received is now a data tag, allowing command blocks to have such a state under control, independent of any nearby redstone signal.
- Command block contraptions from earlier versions still work.
- The "Done" button is now always available to press, even when the command line is empty.

- Their power state is controlled through a tag, and can, therefore, be controlled independently on any redstone signal.
Items

- Now start at a wider zoom level (1:4 instead of 1:1).
- New recipe for zooming in on a map: shears and a map together in any shape.
- Zooms in on the lower-right quadrant of the original map.
- This causes the shears to lose durability.
Mobs

Zombies and zombie pigmen

- Now lift their arms slightly when becoming hostile.
Non-mob entities

- The "Done" button is now always available to press, even when the command line is empty.
