  • Players and all mobs make the same bone-cracking sound when taking fall damage.
• Eating and drinking now have sounds.
• Blazes have been given an ambient breathing noise.
• Endermen now have their own sounds instead of using zombie sounds. ^{[more information needed]}

Fixes

7 bugs fixed

• Error with the shadowing of the right side of blocks in the inventory is now fixed, being back to what it was in Beta 1.7.
• Fixed wooden door bug from Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6
• The "Particles" option no longer overlaps the warning when playing on far render distance with a 32-bit Java installation.
• Fixed the bug that caused the player's experience level to revert to 0 again after The End credits are finished from Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6.
• The full names of Scaevolus and Hippoplatimus are now used in the ending credits.
• The player can now chat while entering a portal in multiplayer.
• Obsidian's mining time was increased to 8 seconds from ~3 seconds in 1.9 Prerelease 6.

Trivia

• When RC2 was initially uploaded, the changing of the version number to RC2 was forgotten, causing it to be displayed as RC1. This was later fixed in a reupload.
• As with RC2, RC1 was released on the latest calendar date out of all release candidates, on November 13.
