Additions

Gameplay

Bosses

• Added boss names above boss health.

Changes

Blocks

Buttons

• Changed recipes for stone/wood buttons.
  • Now require 1 stone block/planks to craft.

Items

Armor

• Leather and diamond armor textures slightly changed:
  • Leather armor sleeves are extended by one pixel.
  • Their item texture has been changed to match the new texture.
• Diamond armor sleeves now have a notch on the inner side.

Maps

• Now have a zoom level, which was fixed at 1:8 prior to snapshot 12w34a, but now starts at 1:1 and can be increased up to 1:16 by re-crafting an existing map.
• Are no longer numbered on the top-left corner and is labeled through the tooltip.

Mobs

Hostile mobs

• Occasionally, zombies, skeletons, and zombie pigmen will spawn with the ability to pick up items on the ground.
  • Armor will automatically equip. Items will instantly be held, which is not exclusive to weapons. This means these zombies can be found holding items they have come across, such as rotten flesh.
  • This will cause zombie pigmen to drop their sword.
  • This will cause skeleton to drop their bow.
  • The attribute applied to allow them to pick up items is called CanPickUpLoot.

Zombie pigmen

• In the Overworld, zombie pigmen are eager to get back in the Nether Portal (e.g., if the player makes a portal and spawns Zombie Pigmen in Creative, it will run into the portal).

Withers

• When taken down to half health, they will gain Wither armor, making them immune to arrows.

Fixes

2 bugs fixed

• Fixed item frame crashes.
• Fixed some nether portal stuff.
