Additions

Blocks

Structure void

• It is an intangible block used to indicate to the structure blocks that certain air blocks can be overridden by previously existing blocks in the destination.
  • Intended to be a replacement for the function barrier blocks used to convey (during early development), so they can form part of the structure itself.
• They are invisible and have a small hitbox.
  • They are only visible when they are inside a structure being saved by a save structure blocks and the toggle option "show invisible blocks" is true.
• Allows for empty spaces in a structure.
  • Unlike air, it will not overwrite blocks where it is loaded.
  • Example: If the player loads a 2 block high structure with air at the top and a structure void at the bottom into a 2 block high area of stone, the top block will become air but the bottom will stay stone.

Magma block

• Found in the Nether, generating 4 veins per chunk between Y=27 and Y=36.
  • It has a similar frequency to blocks like andesite in the Overworld.
• Crafted using four magma cream.
• Mobs and players take 1 damage every second while touching it, similar to a cactus.
  • Unlike cactus or fire, this block doesn't destroy items that touch it.
  • Mobs avoid magma blocks that are in the way.
• Most mobs don't spawn on magma blocks. Exceptions are magma cubes, zombie pigmen and squid.
• If the player is sneaking, wearing Frost Walker-enchanted armor, or under the Fire Resistance effect, they do not take damage.
• If the player dies by standing on it, a new death message will appear: "[Player] discovered floor was lava."
  • If the player dies by the block, but after being damaged by a mob or player, the death message will be: "[Player] walked into danger zone due to [Mob or Player]."
• Removes water blocks on top when randomly ticked.
• It produces smoke particles under the rain.
• It emits as much light as it receives from other sources.
  • e.g. A magma block next to a torch will emit light at level 13, as that was the light level it received from the torch.
    • If the torch were to be removed then it will search for the next brightest source of light; if no source is found then it will continue to emit the same amount of light as the torch.
    • It can emit daylight if it was exposed to the sun.

Nether wart block

• Crafted by filling a 3x3 square in the crafting table with nether wart.
• It cannot be crafted back into nether wart.

Red nether brick

• Crafted by placing a 2x2 checkerboard of 2 nether brick and 2 nether wart in a crafting table.

Bone block

• Crafted by filling a 3x3 square in the crafting table with bone meal.
• Placing it in a crafting table yields 9 bone meal back.
• Found underground in desert and swamps as part of the fossil structure.

Items

Spawn eggs

• Polar Bear (new mob): White with gray dots.

Mobs

Polar bear

• Adults and cubs spawn randomly as passive mobs in Ice Plains, Ice Mountains and Ice Plains Spikes.
• When hit, the adults will attack the player, the cubs will run away (very fast, similar to baby zombies).
  • Additionally, adults will always attack the player when their cubs are around.
• Can swim faster in water than the player.
• Cubs will follow their parents.
• Drops 0–2 raw fish (75% chance) or 0–2 salmon (25% chance), each increased by 1 per level of Looting.

Stray

• 80% of skeletons spawned above ground in Ice Plains, Ice Mountains and Ice Plains Spikes biomes will be strays.
  • All spawns where the skeleton does not have a view of the sky will be normal skeletons.
  • Spiders spawned in cold biomes have a chance of having a stray riding them.
• Acts mostly like a regular skeleton.
• Its SkeletonType tag is 2.
• Drops are the same as skeletons, but also have a 50% chance to drop 1 tipped arrow of slowness when killed by the player. With looting, chance increases to ^2×level+1⁄_2×level+2.
• Shoots Tipped Arrows of Slowness (0:30) at the target.

Husk

• 80% of zombies spawned above ground in Desert, Desert Hills and Desert M biomes will be Husks.
  • All spawns where the zombie does not have a view of the sky will be normal zombies or zombie villagers.
• Behaves mostly like a regular zombie
• Its ZombieType tag is 6.
• Does not burn in sunlight.
• Can spawn as a baby or as a chicken jockey.
• Applies hunger when attacking, duration depends on raw regional difficulty.
  • Duration is 7 × floor (RegionalDifficulty) seconds
  • Hunger is only applied if the Husk has an empty hand.
• Visually 2 pixels taller than a zombie, but has the same hitbox.

World generation

Fossils

• Generates 15–24 blocks underground in deserts, swampland and their M and hills variants. Each chunk has a ¹⁄₆₄ chance of generating a fossil.
• Composed of bone blocks and some coal ore, arranged as to resemble the skulls and spines of giant extinct creatures.
  • There are 4 variants of the skull, and 4 variants of the spine sections.

Particles

• A new fallingdust particle has been added.

  • Replaces the IsVillager and VillagerProfession tags.
• ParticleParam1 and ParticleParam2 integer tags for AreaEffectCloud entities.
  • These work just like the two <params> arguments work, in /particle.
  • Example: /summon AreaEffectCloud ~ ~1 ~ {Duration:600,Radius:2.0f,Particle:"iconcrack",ParticleParam1:351,ParticleParam2:3}
    • Summons a cloud of iconcrack particles with the texture of item 351 (dye), and data value 3 (cocoa beans).

  • Every time it is toggled, a message in chat appears.
  • Shows a blue outline for the chunk the player is currently in and a yellow outline for individual air blocks in the vicinity of the chunk.
    • The blue outline in particular, will outline the chunk horizontally on top of the solid blocks on the ground.
    • The outlines extended arbitrarily up, but end at bedrock level.

Changes

Blocks

Structure block

• The intended purpose is revealed.
  • It is to allow the player to save and load different created structures in game, and offer a way to bundle such structures with the world.

  •  Corner, C - for automatic size calculation.
  •  Data, D - for chest markers and other blocks that require data (default).
• Structures can be stored, bundled and loaded per world, in the "structures" folder

• The coordinates used by the blocks are relative to themselves.
• When in use, it shows the outline of the structure it relates to in white
• Can rotate and mirror structures before they are placed on the three axis.
• L and S structure blocks can be activated by redstone.
• Display a name tag above them indicating their mode and structure name.
• By toggling the option to show invisible blocks in save blocks, air blocks and structure void blocks will be made visible.

• Cobblestone is now generated around wells instead of gravel.
• Paths now only replace grass blocks (with air above), water, lava, sand, sandstone and red sandstone, and no longer replace blocks below sea level. All other blocks will be ignored, with blocks below (down to sea level) considered for replacement instead.
  • This allows paths to generate properly under trees.
• Paths are made with different material depending on the existing terrain.
  • If replacing grass blocks, the path is made from grass path blocks.
  • If replacing water or lava, the path is made from planks.
