Java Edition Beta 1.6.6



Beta 1.6.6 added minor changes and was released to fix some of the bugs and crashes in Beta 1.6.5.

General

 * Options
 * Video Settings
 * Added a Performance section.
 * Can be set to Max FPS, Balanced or Power saver.

Blocks

 * Glowstone
 * Changed the material from "glass" to "stone".
 * This means the player would need a pickaxe to get resources from it.
 * This also means the player can now place redstone, torches, levers, etc. on the block.
 * Made glowstone drop more loot (2–4 glowstone dust).
 * Made the recipe sizes for creating glowstone smaller (2&times;2 instead of 3&times;3).
 * Wool
 * Made the recipe sizes for creating wool smaller (2&times;2 instead of 3&times;3).

Items

 * Bone meal
 * Can grow grass and flowers on grass blocks.

Non-mob entities

 * Boats
 * Boats float up to the surface quicker.
 * Boats falling down into water lose their vertical momentum much faster.
 * Crashing into soul sand on a boat now kills the player, but keeps the boat intact.

Fixes
3 bugs fixed


 * Fixed beds not working very well in Multiplayer.
 * Destroying a boat will no longer spawn the player too low, causing them to sometimes fall through the ground.
 * +clicking a tool into a chest no longer restores it to new.
