Additions
Blocks
- Used for repairing, merging & naming items.
- Three different damage states: "Anvil", "Slightly Damaged Anvil", and "Very Damaged Anvil".
- Anvils cannot only rename tools and armor, but any item.
- Renamed placeable items don't retain their name if placed.
- Anvils can merge enchantments.
- Items with two different enchantments give an item with both.
- Items with the same enchantment increase the level of the enchantment if they have the same level or take only the highest if they don't.
- Some enchantments can be lost during the merging because of incompatibility (ex: Sharpness I + Smite I).
- The first item seems to have the priority (the lost enchantments are on the second item).
- Anvils can also be dropped in a similar manner to sand, gravel, and dragon eggs.
- When landing on a mob, the anvil deals damage relative to the distance it fell.
Mobs
- Now can have custom explosion radius and fuse timer using edited mob spawners and NBT data (
ExplosionRadius & Fuse).
Changes
Blocks
- Potion-like effects given by the beacon now use semi-transparent particles, to be less intrusive.
- Normal potions remain unchanged.
Mobs
General
- No longer forget that they are aggressive against a player in Creative mode after a few seconds.
Gameplay
- Can now be obtained by breeding animals.
- Level-up sound now only plays every 5 levels.
- Sound has been tweaked.
General
- F3 + H now shows tool and armor durability on damaged items – on maps it shows the zoom level.
- Now shows which cardinal direction the player is facing on the "f" value.
- The pie chart on the debug overlay is now shown when opening it using ⇧ Shift + F3 instead of vice versa.
Settings menu
- Renamed "Chat Settings" to "Multiplayer Settings".
- Contains the old chat settings menu.
- Option for cape-owners to hide their capes in game.
Fixes
5 bugs fixed
- When placing the anvil in mid-air in a certain orientation the entity will be sideways until it lands.
- Breaking the block under any anvil resets it to a regular anvil.
- When using the
/killcommand, an error appears. When holding a block, it gives the normal message, but player doesn't die. - When in a multiplayer server and trying to rename an item, the client crashes if an entire name is erased.
- Using Fortune ≥ IV (normally impossible to obtain) on gravel causes a game crash.
