Additions

Intended for adventure maps.
It can run Minecraft:commands when triggered by a redstone signal.
This block is not craftable and is currently not available in the Creative inventory, but can be obtained via the command /give 137.

Would later be known as beacons.
By building a pyramid composed of mineral blocks such as Minecraft:emerald blocks or Minecraft:diamond blocks and placing this block on top, the player gains access to several powers.
- A full pyramid can provide level II powers, should the player select the level I variation in the primary powers section.
It cannot be crafted, although a crafting recipe is planned.
- It can be obtained via the "Miscellaneous" tab in the Creative inventory, or with the /give 138 command.
The minimum range is 16 blocks.
Gives off a light level of 15.
Players within the blocks' range are given the selected effects every 4 seconds.
The best configuration of blocks requires 164 blocks.

Minecraft:Villagers have a chance of turning into zombie villagers after being killed by a Minecraft:zombie on Hard Minecraft:difficulty.
Zombie spawn eggs may spawn zombie villagers.
Zombie villagers can naturally spawn.
Zombie villagers can be cured, becoming normal villagers again.
- To do this, player needs to first use a splash potion of Weakness on a zombie villager. Then, they need right-click the zombie villager with a regular golden apple. After several minutes, it turns back into a normal villager.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

General

Added target selectors to use instead of the Template:Cd field in commands.
- Template:Cd: targets nearest player.
- Template:Cd: targets all players.
- Template:Cd: targets random player.

General

Minecraft:Zombies, Minecraft:skeletons and Minecraft:zombie pigmen sometimes spawn wearing equipment including enchanted weapons and any type of armor, depending on the difficulty level.

Sheep from spawn eggs can now spawn naturally-colored sheep (white, gray, brown, pink, etc.).

Now react positively on performing new trades, and negatively if player hurts them.
- This effect only takes place if the villager recognizes nearby housing, most commonly with naturally spawned villagers.
- There is an unused particle effect added of a villager's face looking angry. File:Angry Villager Particle.png
No longer remove trades, but trading something else may be required to renew the old ones.
Several trades had their quantities altered:
- The farmer's gravel & emerald trade now produces 4 or 5 flint, up from 2 or 3 flint before.
- The librarian's buy paper trade now requires 24 to 35 paper, up from 19 to 29 paper before.
- The librarian's buy book trade now requires 11 to 12 books, down from 12 to 14 books before.
- The farmer's buy arrow trade now sells 9 to 12 arrows, changed from only 5 arrows before. The 5 arrows resulted from a bug in the code where the minimum and maximum values for the arrow trade were swapped.
