Additions

Non-mob entities

• Re-added block drops and primed TNT.
  • Act different from their Classic counterparts, because instead of falling then spinning while glowing, it instead drops like the entity sign similar to the one in Survival Test.
  • Other entities such as arrows and non-Rana mobs have still not been re-implemented.
  • Removed the "pulse" from hotbar items when new items get added to their stack.
  • Primed TNT no longer flashes white, it instead turns a shade darker.
  • Primed TNT no longer gives off particles.
  • Primed TNT can no longer be diffused.

Changes

Gameplay

Heads-up display

• Hotbar now only contains 99 TNT and bookshelves.

Mushrooms

• Now get placed instead of eaten.^[verify]

Bugs

• Placing an item into an armor slot, then taking it out and dropping it with an open inventory allows you to grab the armor sprite item. (see gallery)
  • Note that placing the sprite down causes it to disappear.
• Dropped items sometimes glitch out creating an item that cannot be picked up, but attempting to causes the player to gain one of that item per tick (see gallery).

Trivia

• This is the last version released in 2009 and in the 2000s decade.
• This is the first version to introduce items that do not correspond to blocks, which initiates the distinction between "items" and "blocks" in the game.
