Changes

 * Item Frames
 * Items in item frames can now rotate items by 45 degrees (eight possible directions)
 * Item frames can give off a signal detected by comparators, based on the direction the item is facing
 * Signal strength is as follows: 0: empty; 1: item; 2: item rotated once; 3: item rotated twice; ...; 8: item rotated 7 times
 * As long as the frame remains placed, it remembers the orientation of the last item it held, and uses it for the next item it holds
 * Villagers
 * Villagers will now harvest, collect and replant grown potatoes, wheat and carrots
 * Seeds items and harvested items are stored and shared with other villagers
 * Bread is crafted to be shared with fellow villagers as well
 * Village mechanics
 * Doors are now added to the closest village
 * This will not break iron farms, but change them a little, enough to make them "practically pointless"
 * Enchantments
 * Looting now gives an extra 1% chance of getting rare loot per level
 * Iron Golems/Zombie Pigmen
 * Iron golems now drop iron ingots again, zombie pigmen now drop gold nuggets again
 * Iron Golems/Snow Golems/Withers
 * You can now spawn Iron Golems/Snow Golems/Withers with dispensers + pumpkin/skulls respectively
 * Dead Bushes
 * Are now flammable
 * Saplings
 * Are now flammable
 * Buttons
 * Can now be placed on ceiling/floors
 * Moss Stone
 * Now craftable in a shapeless recipe with one Cobblestone and one Vine.
 * Commands
 * Added the ability to filter block types in the command, as long as the filler block is not a tile entity
 * Only if it’s used to fill in replace mode with “normal” blocks.
 * Syntax:
 * F3 Debug Screen Crosshairsindebug14w04a.png
 * The x coordinate line will now be bold when looking east/west, similarly the z coordinate line will now be bold when looking south/north
 * The crosshair will display 3 short colored lines to indicate the direction of each axis: x/red, y/green, z/blue
 * Skins
 * Now displays the right arm's second layer in first person view
 * Skins and capes are now distributed through servers
 * Skins server outages will occur less frequently and have less impact
