Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6

Beta 1.9-pre6 is the sixth pre-release for 1.0.0.

Additions

 * Added (currently useless) dragon egg.
 * Added the following to /title/ in minecraft.jar:
 * credits.txt
 * earlyplayers.txt
 * win.txt
 * Added "Particles" setting in Video Settings
 * Has three possible states:
 * "All", rendering all particle effects
 * "Decreased", rendering half of all particle effects
 * "Minimal", rendering no particle effects (except for those created when breaking blocks).
 * Added ending titles and credits.
 * Ender Crystal added
 * Is an entity which sits atop of a block of bedrock.
 * It is diamond shaped, with 2 cubes spinning on their axis with a point at the center that fires a healing beam at the Enderdragon when within range, and can be destroyed with a melee or hit with an arrow, causing an explosion.
 * They appear on all obsidian spikes in The End.

Changes

 * Revised beds
 * Attempting to sleep in a Bed while hostile mobs are nearby will display "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby".
 * Several block's tool weaknesses have been fixed, such as Crafting Tables now mining faster with an Axe and rails now mining faster with a Pickaxe.
 * Mined stairs of any materials will drop a stair block now instead of a block form of its material.
 * Changes to the mining time of many blocks, including Redstone Ore, stone brick, Nether Brick, iron bars, doors, Monster Spawners and obsidian, making their mining times much faster.
 * 'Efficiency' enchantment now affects all blocks for any item enchanted with it.
 * Tools not suited to digging a certain block can be faster than digging by hand, e.g. a pickaxe can dig dirt faster than by hand, but not faster than by shovel.
 * More minor changes to textures, this time to:
 * Side texture of grass, adhering to dirt texture change in previous pre-release
 * Sand
 * Sun and Moon are square again.
 * Downward flowing water now creates flowing water once more.
 * More finished Enderdragon boss fight.
 * "Boss Health" Meter appears on the middle top part of the screen in the same purple hue as the Enderdragon.
 * Leaves behind a fountain like bedrock structure with the Enderdragon Egg sitting on top and has another Ender Portal to return to the players spawn point/ bed.
