Mobs
- When in a standing position, cats now purposely go and sit on nearby chests, active furnaces, and beds.

- Similar to how the formatting code §k displays random characters in chat, §l, §m, §n and §o creates bold, striked, underlined and italic text respectively, while §r resets any set states
- These cannot be typed using vanilla clients
- Pressing / acts as a command key: it opens the chat with a
/in place. - Pressing ← or → moves the insertion point (text pointer) in the respective direction, allowing text to be modified.
