Additions

Items

File:Golden Apple JE1 BE1.png Minecraft:Golden apple

• Restores Template:Hp health, making it the best food in the game at the time.
• Crafted with 8 Minecraft:blocks of gold surrounding an apple.
• It is unobtainable in normal gameplay.

World generation

Template:See also General

• Worlds can now generate infinitely.
  • At X/Z +1,024/-512, the skybox around the world stops rendering, giving way to a blank light blue sky.
  • At around X/Z ±65,536 blocks away, the hitbox begins to lose its shape.
  • At X/Z ±131,072, the gaps between chunks begin to become jumpy and distorted. These effects begin to double every exponent of two that the player walks from here.
  • At X/Z ±2,097,152, the effects become so severe that the world seems to not render completely at certain angles.
  • At X/Z ±16,777,216, blocks are no longer solid, allowing the player to fall and hit a layer of lava, however the player can still swim through water.
  • At X/Z ±2,147,483,647 (32-bit integer limit), terrain disappears completely and the game crashes.
• The terrain generates much like it did during early versions of Classic.
• The world now only generates grass, dirt, stone, water and dandelions for the terrain, and bricks and obsidian for generated structures.

• Generates at the exact same positions regardless of world seed.
• Top of it is cut off due to height limit change.

File:Eyc0bj7pr4w51.jpg Far Lands

• As the world now generates infinitely (or at least to 32-bit integer limit), the world generation breaks at X/Z ±33,554,432, making all terrain go to maximum possible height.
• Are a giant wall of stone blocks that go from sea level to the height limit.

File:Obsidian Wall.png Minecraft:Obsidian wall

Bugs

7 bugs reported

• The Minecraft:player can place a Minecraft:block inside themselves.
• The skybox cuts off after a while.
• Minecraft:Chests and Minecraft:furnaces crash the game when opened.
• Some blocks do not display their textures when placed (fire, gears, torches, crops). (They can still be selected however.)
• Minecraft:Furnaces do not have a face.
• Minecraft:Fire cannot be extinguished normally. Punching the fire instead punches the block behind it. Mining the block below it turns the fire invisible, though it is still there. Placing a block on the fire (replacing the fire with the block) removes the fire.
• Minecraft:Torches cannot be placed on the sides of a block.

Trivia

• An early developer screenshot showed this version marked as "Minecraft:Minecraft Indev".<ref>Template:TWON</ref>
• This is the first time the world height was decreased.
