Additions

Blocks

Minecraft:Amethyst Bud

  • Grows from Minecraft:budding amethyst, which is found in amethyst geodes.
  • Starts out tiny, but grows into medium after a while, large after even more time, and eventually becomes an Minecraft:amethyst cluster.
  • Unlike crops, each growth stage is a separate block instead of a block state.
  • Drops only when mined with a Minecraft:Silk Touch pickaxe.
  • There is a total of 3 variants (stages).

Minecraft:Amethyst Cluster

  • The final, mature stage of the amethyst bud, which grows from budding amethyst in amethyst geodes.
  • Drops amethyst shards if broken, in an amount affected by Fortune, but can also be picked up with Silk Touch.
  • Emits a light level of 5.

Minecraft:Amethyst Block

  • A decorative block found in amethyst geodes.
  • Unlike Budding Amethyst, the Block of Amethyst can be obtained when mined.
  • Can also be crafted with 4 amethyst shards.

Block of Raw Metal

Minecraft:Budding Amethyst

  • Generates amethyst buds/clusters on any side that is exposed either to air or a water source block.
  • Cannot be obtained when mined, even with Silk Touch, and does not drop anything.
  • Breaks immediately if pushed by a Minecraft:piston or sticky piston.
    • Cannot be pulled by sticky pistons.
  • Generates in amethyst geodes.

Minecraft:Calcite

Minecraft:Smooth Basalt

Minecraft:Tinted Glass

  • A black variant of glass that is transparent to players, but does not let light through.
  • Can be crafted with 4 amethyst shards and a glass block.
    • Stained glass cannot be used to craft tinted glass.
  • Drops itself if mined without Minecraft:Silk Touch or even by hand, unlike Minecraft:glass.

Minecraft:Tuff

  • A deep grayish stone that can generate in blobs between Y = 16 to Y = 0 of the world.

Items

Minecraft:Amethyst Shard

  • Obtained from breaking amethyst clusters.
  • The amount dropped can be increased with the Minecraft:Fortune enchantment.
  • Can be used to craft tinted glass, blocks of amethyst, and spyglasses.

Raw metal

Minecraft:Spyglass

  • Crafted with 2 copper ingots and an amethyst shard.
  • When used, it zooms in on wherever the player is looking but limits their view to a square.
  • There is a unique animation for using the spyglass, which is visible in a third-person perspective or by another player.

World generation

Minecraft:Amethyst Geodes

  • A new feature found uncommonly underground (can rarely appear exposed to the surface close to sea level).
  • Contains blocks of amethyst and budding amethyst blocks, which are encased in a shell of calcite and tuff.
    • Also generates with a small air pocket nearby which may open into the geode.
  • Most commonly generates at lower levels. (y = 6 to y = 47)
  • Overrides standard caves and ravines, but is overridden by mineshafts.

General

Minecraft:Settings

  • Added "Spyglass Damping" scale option ranging from 0 to 100.
    • Sets the camera movement speed when looking through a Spyglass to make it more comfortable to use.

Changes

Blocks

Minecraft:Azalea Leaves and Minecraft:Flowering Azalea Leaves

  • Now have a chance to drop Azalea or Flowering Azalea when broken.

Minecraft:Blackstone, Minecraft:gilded blackstone, and Minecraft:stair, Minecraft:slab and Minecraft:wall variants

  • Slightly changed the texture.

Minecraft:Block of Copper

  • Copper surfaces now deoxidize in a more random pattern when struck by lightning.
  • Horizontally placed Lightning Rods now interact properly with respect to de-oxidizing Copper Blocks.
  • Copper Blocks struck by lightning now deoxidize even if there's no Lightning Rod present.
  • Added sounds for scrapping off wax and oxidization.

Minecraft:Deepslate Coal Ore, Minecraft:Deepslate Copper Ore, and Minecraft:Deepslate Lapis Lazuli Ore

  • Changed and slightly tweaked the textures of these blocks.

Minecraft:Cobbled Deepslate

  • Can now be used as crafting material for tools, furnaces, and brewing stands.

Minecraft:Glow Item Frame

  • Glow Item Frame textures are no longer inconsistent between Bedrock and Java.
  • Now produces redstone signals.

  • Blocks connected to a Lightning Rod now correctly conduct redstone signal when the rod is hit by lightning.

Minecraft:Moss Block

  • Can now replace Dirt, Podzol, Rooted Dirt, Stone, and Cave Vines.

Minecraft:Pointed Dripstone

  • If a stalactite is hanging from a dripstone block with a water source above, it will slowly grow both the stalactite from above and a stalagmite from below.
    • Growth speed is random but very slow; a single growth step can take several in-game days.
  • A stalactite will only grow up to 7 blocks long.
  • A stalactite will only cause stalagmite growth if the floor or stalagmite below is within 10 blocks.
  • If the stalactite tip is inside water it won’t drip, and therefore will not trigger any growth.
  • If the stalagmite tip is inside water or there is a fluid between the two dripstone blocks, it will not receive the water drops, and therefore will not be grown by a dripping stalactite.
    • A stalagmite or stalactite will never grow when submerged in fluid.

Minecraft:Powder Snow

  • Now available outside the Caves & Cliffs experiments toggle.
  • Powder Snow blocks are now removed by flowing water and lava.

General
