General

Missing content

  • πŸ‘ Image
    Added the missing texture.
    • Used if a texture is absent from the game files.
    • Only visible through modding (including removing an image file from the jar).
    • Previously the game would just outright crash if a texture was absent.

Changes

[edit | edit source]

Blocks

[edit | edit source]

Bed

  • Sleeping in a bed now resets spawn position, though does not work for most users.
    • At the moment the spawn point unintentionally only changes if "Leave bed" is clicked and the function is limited to multiplayer.[3]

Ladders

  • Sneaking while climbing hangs on to the ladder.

Wheat crops

  • Now grow more quickly.

Sheep

  • Can now spawn with pink or brown wool (very rarely, however).

Spiders

  • No longer trample crops.
  • Have their walking sounds removed.

World generation

[edit | edit source]

Monster room

General

[edit | edit source]

Multiplayer

  • Servers can now have a new world seeded with an option in the server.properties file.

Options

  • GUI scale may now be changed in options.txt located in the .minecraft folder.

Statistics

  • Lots of infrastructure for statistics lists have been implemented.

Title screen

Fixes

[edit | edit source]

4 bugs fixed

  • Zombies and spiders now hurt the player in all instances.
  • Client-sided slime spawn on multiplayer has been fixed.
  • Arm no longer swings when player cannot place a block.
  • Opening and closing the inventory quickly while swinging no longer removes the character 'swinging' animation, which previously made destroying blocks faster (Multiplayer only).

Reupload

[edit | edit source]

Beta 1.4 was reuploaded around an hour and a half after its initial release. The later version removed a small unused section of code added in the initial version which tracks the player's walking distance in memory, presumably testing code accidentally left in the game for Beta 1.5, which added statistics – namely, a statistic that tracks how many meters the player has walked.
