Gameplay

- Protection is no longer as effective as all the other Protection-type enchantments combined.
- Unbreaking can be applied to anything with durability using enchanted books.
General
- Pressing CTRL+Q by default (Or the "Drop" button if changed in controls), the player drops a full stack instead of one item.
Notices
- Added a notice/warning for users still playing on PowerPCs or Java 5 (Java 1.5).
- Mojang plans to drop support for Java 5 by version 1.6.[3] This is due to the most recent versions of LWJGL no longer supporting Java 5, with PowerPC also no longer supported by Apple to be made compatible with Java 6 or newer.[4]
