Changes
Blocks
- Now support extra information for the mobs it spawns. This allows unmodified games to have spawners for special variants of mobs, the player still requires external or modified means to set these parameters, though.
- Examples: charged creepers, endermen holding specific blocks, green robe villagers, villagers with custom trade offers.
- No longer drops as an item when broken in Creative mode.
- Monsters can now spawn on upside down slabs.
- Normal and sticky pistons now schedule extensions and retractions rather than executing them as soon as they are updated.
Mobs
- If under the Poison effect, they spawn silverfish from nearby monster eggs more quickly.
Gameplay
Performance
- Performance improvements.
Fixes

- Fixed game crashing when it automatically selects the "Scanning for LAN Worlds" item in the server list and user deletes it.
- Fixed arrow representing the player on the map item not pointing in the right direction.
- Fixed clicking "Save and Quit" or "Disconnect" twice quickly crashing the game.
- Fixed the multiplayer server fairly regularly dropping all players and showing many
NullPointerExceptionsin the console every few hours. - Fixed save files being closed each time world was auto-saved.
