Changes

Minecraft:Observers

• Changed the front (detecting side) texture to be an "observing face".
  • Same texture is used for facing up and down, although facing down: points with the top of the face toward north, and when facing up: points with the top of the face toward south.
  • The texture is a hybrid of the rejected observer texture (File:Observer (front texture) pBE20160502.png) for Minecraft:Pocket Edition, and the previous texture.
• Redstone output side now blinks when it outputs power.

Items

Minecraft:Enchanted books

• Curse of Vanishing, Unbreaking III and Mending now appear in the tools as well as the combat tab of the Minecraft:Creative inventory.

General

• Added a warning message for players using Java 7 or 6.
• Cleaned up translation files to no longer use %d.
