Additions

Blocks

Minecraft:Deepslate

• Currently only generated in blobs below y=16.
• Has a hardness value greater than that of Minecraft:stone but can be mined with any Minecraft:pickaxe.
• Drops Minecraft:cobbled deepslate when mined.
• Can be obtained only with a Minecraft:Silk Touch pickaxe.
• There are 19 variants in total.

Minecraft:Cobbled Deepslate

• Drops from Minecraft:deepslate when mined with a pickaxe without Minecraft:Silk Touch.
• Can't be used interchangeably with Minecraft:cobblestone and Minecraft:blackstone in crafting recipes of basic tools, furnaces and brewing stands.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
• Can be crafted into respective stairs, slabs and walls, Minecraft:polished deepslate, Minecraft:chiseled deepslate, Minecraft:deepslate bricks and Minecraft:deepslate tiles, which can be used to craft their respective stairs, slabs, and walls (excluding chiseled deepslate).
  • Deepslate bricks and deepslate tiles can also be smelted onto their cracked variants.
• Can now be smelted back into deepslate.

Minecraft:Deepslate ores

• Added deepslate variants of all ores, including iron, gold, copper, coal, diamond, redstone, emerald, and lapis lazuli.
  • Deepslate ore variants for copper, emerald, and coal ore do not generate by default.
• Takes twice as long to mine as normal ores.
• Has the texture of Minecraft:deepslate replacing the normal stone texture.
• Takes place of ores that generate in deepslate.
• Can be used in blasting and smelting recipes like normal ores.

Minecraft:Oxidized Copper and Minecraft:Oxidized Cut Copper

• Can now be waxed.

Mobs

Minecraft:Axolotl

• Axolotls will spawn underground, in water.
• Holding a bucket of tropical fish will cause nearby axolotls to follow the player on both land and water.
  • Axolotls cannot be tamed but they can be bred by feeding them buckets of tropical fish.
• Axolotls will attack fish, squid, drowned, and guardians.
• Axolotls come in a variety of colors, all with an equal chance of spawning except for blue.
  • Blue axolotls have a small chance of spawning as a mutation when breeding 2 axolotls.
• Axolotls can survive on dry land for a few minutes. After that they will start to dry out and take continuous damage until rehydrated.
• When taking damage, there is a chance that the axolotl will play dead. While playing dead, the axolotl will regenerate health and mobs will be unable to target the axolotl.
• When a player kills a mob that the axolotl was attacking, they are rewarded with the regeneration effect, and their mining fatigue is removed if they have it.
• Axolotls can be picked up with buckets, like fish.

Changes
