Gameplay

 * Fishing
 * The Lure enchantment no longer affects the chances of catching things, only the delay.
 * The Luck of the Sea enchantment is broken due to a typo in the new fishing loot table.
 * Fished junk will be less damaged (0%–90% durability remaining) while treasure will be more damaged (0%–25% durability remaining).
 * Ink sacs will now be caught singly with weight 10 (formerly a stack of 10 with weight 1).

General

 * Loot tables
 * The format is updated, so that rather than a 'items' node containing 'item' entries, it is an 'entries' node containing 'type' and 'name' entries.
 * Type entries can be 'item', 'loot_table', or 'empty'.
 * Name entries can either be item identifier for items, or the location and name of the loot table.
 * Example:
 * This allows for easier nested loot tables.
 * This allows for easier nested loot tables.
 * This allows for easier nested loot tables.


 * The fishing tables are now available, along with loot for skeleton horses, zombie horses, and sheep without wool.
 * Added the function 'set_damage', which is used to change the durability of a tool.
 * Fixed some loot tables.
 * Guardians and elder guardians have their rare drop of fishing loot again, though it includes fishing junk and fishing treasure as well.
 * Elder guardians only drop sponges when killed by the player.
 * Horses drop 1 leather. Skeleton and zombie horses drop 1 bone and 1 rotten flesh, respectively.
 * Squids reverted back to dropping 1–3 ink sacs (was changed to 0–2 in 15w43b).
 * Wither skeleton coal drop chance reverted back to earlier behavior: drops −1–1 (i.e. a 66% chance of 0 and a 33% chance of 1) with the amount increased as usual by Looting.
 * Spider and cave spider eye drop chance adjusted, now drops −1–1 (i.e. a 66% chance of 0 and a 33% chance of 1) with the amount increased as usual by Looting.
