 * Achievements screen can now be zoomed in and out using the mouse wheel.
 * Achievements don't appear on the achievements screen if more than five achievements need to be achieved first (i.e. "DIAMONDS!" doesn't appear until "Getting Wood" is achieved).
 * Data for blocks, items, and mobs don't appear in their respective tab in the Statistics screen unless the player has crafted/placed/mined that block, crafted/used/depleted that item, or killed/was killed by that mob.
 * When a player earns an achievement it is now announced in chat. This can be turned off on servers by changing a line in the server.properties file.
 * Can be hovered over to show an achievement tooltip
 * Cannot be turned off in Singleplayer
 * Scoreboard
 * Can now use statistics to create objectives; anything that statistics can track can be used as an objective (can also track achievements)

 * Commands
 * Can now give items to players with custom names, lore and enchantments

 * Edge of the World
 * All blocks beyond X/Z 30 million (±30,000,000) from origin now act as solid blocks.
 * This includes air blocks.
 * This creates essentially an invisible wall at the boundary.
 * As all blocks function as solid, if the player is moved outside the boundary via external tools, they will be unable to move outside the block space they are within.
 * Despite the above, the camera can still move normally. This reveals that ghost chunks still generate, as the camera can pass through normally solid blocks beyond the boundary.
 * Block/Item IDs
 * Can now be referred to by their names instead of numbers.
 * Will be the only option in the future.
 * Necessary for the Plugin API.
 * Visuals
 * Changed F3+B visuals
