List of Minecraft 2.0 exclusive blocks

  • Etho Slab
  • Torch (Burnt-Out)
  • Block of Coal
  • Tinted Glass

Bugs

  • Tinted glass has a bug where if on fast graphics, the bottom has some texture glitches when placed on any surface except Air.
  • You cannot see water through tinted glass.
  • You walk faster on Etho Slabs.
  • Mooshrooms can spawn regular cows with mushrooms on their back.
  • Coal retrieved from Coal Blocks doesn't stack with normal coal, because it has a different data value (32767 as opposed to 0)
  • Using pick block on Tinted Glass only yields White Tinted glass due to a bug with the itemblock.
  • When the heat is not regulated in a furnace underwater, the furnace will still burn, it will still smoke, it will explode blocks underwater and set things on fire underwater.
  • In the cow horse skin, the horse still has udders.
  • There are no baby Diamond Chickens.
  • Torches can burn out very fast, sometimes burning out right after they were placed.

Trivia

  • At 8:00 New York City Time, the splash text in 2.0 now will be huge and say APRIL FOOLS! in pink letters and obstruct the title menu.
  • Some features that were not noted in the changelog were these 2:
    • Mobs can have a rare chance of escaping fences and thin glass, and smaller mobs have a larger chance.
    • Blocks and mobs can talk using speech bubbles. Quotes include "You punched me!" "You mined me!" and "Mommy?" (Mummy? For people in the UK)
  • Etho slabs (TNT Slabs) have a bigger explosion than TNT, although they are smaller than TNT.
  • Tinted glass uses filters.
  • A new mob, the Friendly Wither, (Sometimes referred to as the Pink Wither) was added. To spawn it, place a pink wool block, put a Flower pot on top, and a rose in the Flower pot. Feed it sugar to grow it some heads.(The Friendly Wither will also follow you if you have sugar in your hand) It is also considered undead, and will be hurt by potions of healing and healed by potions of harming. The reason why it is considered "undead" is most likely because it shares the same Mob ID as the Wither. In addition, it has no health bar.
  • Droppers are renamed to floppers, and will change anything they drop to a fish.
  • Lightning can strike mobs through blocks.
  • The new Slab called Etho Slab is a reference to a YouTuber called EthosLab
  • The Zombie Pigmen carring "Combat Signs" feature is a refrence to a YouTuber called Zisteau
  • You now need to go to The Nether to have a proper light source.
  • The regular Wither does not attack the Pink Wither.
  • Chickens turn hostile when looked at, and will sometimes spawn reinforcements when killed (in the form of more chickens).
  • Blue chickens sometimes spawn, which lay Lapis Lazuli and Diamonds instead of eggs. They do so at a much slower rate than normal chicks lay eggs.
