Additions

Mobs

Donkeys, horses and mules

  • Added a UI to control saddle/inventory/armor.
  • Can be accessed by sneaking and right-clicking, or by pressing the inventory button while riding.
  • Some features of the UI are specific to certain mobs:
    • All three mobs have a saddle slot.
    • Only horses have an armor slot.
    • Donkeys and mules have an inventory of 15 slots when given a chest.

General

Attribute system

  • Started to move over various things to a new attribute system:
    • Item attributes using NBT data:
      • Attributes can be additive, subtractive and multiplicative using a set value.
      • Some items have default modifiers in place of previously hard-coded attributes.
      • Examples of possible changes players could make: A bow that slows the holder, a helmet that buffs health, etc.
    • Entity attributes:
      • These properties can now be changed as easily as any other NBT attribute.
      • Entity speed, base health, base attack.
    • Other properties like weapon damage/bow draw speed/sword swing speed are yet to follow.

Internal chat system

  • Lots of messages should be translated now that were not previously.
  • Messages are now better modularized.
  • Server messages can be sent by their code-defined name, allowing the client to utilize the correct translation according to their language settings.
  • Color can be specifically designated, preventing leakage into further messages.

Changes

Items

Horse armor

  • No longer stackable.

Tools

  • Instead of replacing the barehanded damage (1HP♥), pickaxes, shovels, axes and swords now add their damage onto the barehanded damage.

General

Resource packs

  • Lots of work towards a new resource pack system, but not finished yet.
    • Currently still compatible with texture packs.
