Additions

Items

Phantom membranes

  • Dropped by phantoms.
  • Used to repair elytra.
  • Can be used to brew potions of Slow Falling.

Potion of Slow Falling

Arrow of Slow Falling

  • Effects the shot mob with the Slow Falling status effect.

Gameplay

Effects

  • Slow Falling
    • It causes the player to descend at a much slower rate, and not take any damage when hitting the ground.
      • This allows the player to jump further than normal.
        • If the player is sprinting while under the Slow Falling effect, they are able to jump across a gap of over 5.5 blocks, compared to 4 with normal sprinting.
    • Crops don't get destroyed if the player lands on them with the Slow Falling effect.
    • Higher levels do not change the rate of descent.

Advancements

  • Added 4 new advancements:
    • Fishy Business: 'Catch a fish'
    • Tactical fishing: 'Catch a fish... without a fishing rod!'
    • A Throwaway Joke: 'Throw a trident at something'
    • Very Very Frightening: 'Strike a Villager with lightning'
  • Added three new advancement triggers:
    • minecraft:fishing_rod_hooked triggers when a player reels in an item or entity;
    • minecraft:channeled_lightning triggers when a player uses the Channeling enchantment to strike a mob;
    • minecraft:filled_bucket triggers when a player fills a bucket.

General
