Java Edition Indev 0.31 20091223-1

A version of Indev 0.31 was released on December 23, 2009.

This is the first version of the Indev development cycle of Minecraft.

Mobs

 * Rana.png Rana
 * Has the player's shadows.
 * All other mobs no longer spawn

General

 * Lighting
 * Added dynamic lighting.
 * There are 9 different light levels.
 * Oddly, blocks in the inventory and hotbar are affected by lighting - upon generating a new world they appear dark, then go back to normal brightness after a while.

Gameplay

 * Gamemodes
 * This version, as well as 20091223-2, is in Creative mode.
 * Survival mode can be added back via modding as always, however.
 * Survival mode
 * The player now spawns with 99 stone slabs, stone, water blocks and lava blocks (leftover from an unreleased Indev 0.30 version)
 * TNT was removed from hotbar, and no longer explodes
 * Blocks no longer drop items when mined
 * Arrows can no longer be fired
 * No survival build of this version was released, so these changes go unused, and can only be found via modding.


 * Multiplayer


 * Multiplayer was made partially inaccessible (although the multiplayer code still exists and can be re-enabled).
 * Connecting to a multiplayer server will cause players to spawn in a bedrock cube.
 * The game will act as if it is in Singleplayer – chat is inaccessible and the player list cannot be opened.


 * General
 * New W.I.P level format
 * Level saving/loading no longer works.
 * Dandelion (Item) JE1.png Flowers in the build screen are now shown with both sprites crossed.
