Additions

Command format

General

  • Running "Searge" as the command in a command block (without a preceding "/", also case insensitive) now sets #itzlipofutzli to the previous output.

Gameplay

Enchanting

  • Added a sound for taking damage from thorns.

Weather

  • Rain sounds are now more ambient/less loud and sound more realistic.

Changes

Blocks

Lily pads

  • Bounding box changed again, now 332 block tall and inset 116 from all sides (since 15w49a, was 15256 block tall and only three of the four edges were inset).

Non-mob entities

Boats

  • Now move forward and backwards using the forward and backwards key, and steer left and right using the left and right keys respectively.
    • The boat stays in one place when pressing the left and right keys at the same time, but the paddles are moving.
  • Now faster and stay at a consistent speed, unlike previous snapshots.
  • Now sink when underwater, or within flowing water of any depth.
  • Crafting recipe no longer requires wooden shovel.
  • Riding a boat no longer subjects water-sensitive mobs to being damaged by water, and no longer protects sunlight-sensitive mobs from being damaged by sunlight.
  • The player now is dismounted onto land if possible.
  • Now break lily pads, instead of passing right through them.
  • Now no longer pick up mobs larger than the boat

Minecarts

  • Players no longer board minecarts when used while crouching.
