Stained glass panes

• Crafted the same way as regular glass panes, but with stained glass.
• Comes in 16 different colors.

Splashes

• Added splash screen: "Now contains 32 random daily cats!" in reference to Random_Guy_32 from Twitter.

Glass panes

• Now connect to each other and glass.
• Are rendered differently, and have 2 pixel thick collision boxes.

Ice

• Fixed transparency.
• Is now visible through other ice.

Iron bars

• Now connect to each other and glass.
• Are rendered differently, and have 2 pixel thick collision boxes.

Locked chest

• Removed the block entirely. Its ID is now used by stained glass.

Water

• Fixed transparency.
• Is now visible through other water blocks.

Portal

• Fixed transparency.
• Are now visible through other Nether portals.

Network code

• Rewrite of the network code.^[2]
• Uses Netty now.
• Most packets won't change.
  • Handshake and ping procedure is being redone.
• There is a packet length header.

Server list

• Reworked the list.
• Added server icons.
• Lists the current players on a server when you hover over the player number.
• Added support for multi-line MOTD comments.
• Removed support for MOTD comments going offscreen.
• Reset the protocol version.

Video settings

• Changes to the menu.

Distance effects

• Item frames no longer follow the camera and jitter with camera rotation at extreme coordinates.
• Paintings also no longer follow the camera and jitter with camera rotation at extreme coordinates.
• Fixed a desynchronisation issue that appeared at high coordinates; this varied depending on hardware.
  • In some cases, this simply caused entities, water, ice and the wireframe block outline box to appear slightly desynchronised from the world itself. However, in others, the former grouping would jitter severely.
