minecraftologies

• credits.txt, earlyplayers.txt and win.txt added to /title/ in minecraft.jar.
• Added ending titles.
• Added “Particles” setting in Video Settings. Has three possible states: “All”, rendering all particle effects, “Decreased”, rendering half of all particle effects, and “Minimal”, rendering no particle effects.
• Added Dragon Egg; currently seems to serve no practical purpose, however.
• More minor changes to textures, this time to:
  • Side texture of Grass, adhering to dirt texture change in previous pre-release
  • Sand
  • The Sun and Moon have square textures again. The phases of the Moon are also square.
• More finished Enderdragon boss fight.
  • “Boss Health” Meter appears on the middle top part of the screen in the same purple hue as the Enderdragon.
  • Leaves behind a fountain like bedrock structure with the Enderdragon Egg sitting on top and has another Ender Portal to return to the players spawn point/ bed.
• One new entity added, an object which sits atop of a bedrock block that is diamond shaped that has 2 squares spinning on their axis with a point at the center that fires a healing beam at the Enderdragon when within range, and can be destroyed with a melee or hit with an arrow, causing an explosion. They appear on all the Obsidian Spikes in The End.
• Several blocks, such as Obsidian, Redstone Ore and Stone Bricks are mined much faster.
• Glowstone was made transparent, thus it is impossible to place some objects such as torches on them.
• Baby animals from dyed parents are now born dyed as well instead of white.

Bug Fixes:

• Shooting arrows, using items and hitting mobs no longer uses up items/durability in creative.
• Lily Pads are now a solid block.
• Ferns, Tall Grass and Lily Pads are now available in the creative inventory.
• Enchantment Tables now take time to mine, instead of one punch.
  • Unnecessary block versions of Cake and Sugar Cane removed from creative inventory.
• “Mods and Texture Packs” changed to “Texture Packs”.
• Repeater clocks no longer get stuck when unloading the chunk.
• Placing fences under farmland doesn’t stop it from turning back into dirt.
• Minecart with Furnace is able to push empty Minecart at any direction. Texture rotates wrong, though.

Notable Bugs: (Complete bug list)

• Wooden Doors cannot be opened directly, redstone must be used.
• You lose all experience levels/points after the credits.
• Snow Biomes do not generate properly
