Additions

Gameplay

Minecraft:Bosses

• Added boss names above boss health.

Changes

Blocks

Template:Animate Minecraft:Buttons

• Changed recipes for stone/wood buttons.
  • Now require 1 Minecraft:stone block/Minecraft:planks to craft.

Items

Minecraft:Armor

• Leather and diamond armor textures slightly changed:
  • Leather armor sleeves are extended by one pixel.
  • Their item texture has been changed to match the new texture.
• Diamond armor sleeves now have a notch on the inner side.

width=32x32 Minecraft:Maps

• Now have a zoom level, which was fixed at 1:8 prior to snapshot Minecraft:12w34a,<ref name="mapinfo">https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://notch.tumblr.com/post/4988431144/the-maps</ref> but now starts at 1:1 and can be increased up to 1:16 by re-crafting an existing map.

Mobs

Template:Animate Hostile mobs

• Occasionally, Minecraft:zombies, Minecraft:skeletons, and Minecraft:zombie pigmen spawn with the ability to pick up items on the ground.
  • Armor automatically equips. Items are held instantly, which is not exclusive to weapons. This means zombies can be found holding items they have come across, such as Minecraft:rotten flesh.
  • This causes zombie pigmen to drop their sword, and skeletons to drop their bow.
  • The attribute applied to allow them to pick up items is called CanPickUpLoot.

width=45x45 Zombie Pigmen

• In the Overworld, zombie pigmen are eager to get back in the Nether portal (e.g., if the player makes a portal and spawns zombie pigmen in Creative, they run into the portal).

width=64x64 Minecraft:Withers

• When taken down to half health, they gain wither armor, making them immune to Minecraft:arrows.

Fixes

2 bugs fixed

• Fixed Minecraft:item frame crashes.
• Fixed some Minecraft:Nether portal stuff.

Trivia

• This snapshot is one of only three snapshots for Template:JE to have its digits consecutively increasing by one. The only other snapshots to have this property are 12w34a and 23w45a.
