Additions

World generation

Minecraft:World boundary

• Now exists at 32,000,000 blocks.
  • The stone wall "far lands" are inaccessible without the use of modification as a result.

Gameplay

Minecraft:Daylight cycle

• Re-implemented the Minecraft:daylight cycle, but its duration is shorter than it was in Minecraft:Indev.
  • One cycle lasts around 16 minutes. Both daytime and nighttime are 8 minutes long.

Minecraft:Light

• Re-added working light.
• Re-added dynamic lighting.

Changes

Items

Minecraft:Diamond axe, hoe, pickaxe, shovel, and sword

• Diamond tools' durability has been increased from 257 to 513.

Gameplay

Minecraft:Controls

• Pressing Template:Keys now reloads chunks too instead of just hiding them behind a fog.
  • Fog is now further from the player.
  • Fog is now slightly blueish.

Minecraft:Hotbar Template:Hotbar

• The player spawns with more items when creating a new world: 999 Minecraft:glass blocks, 999 Minecraft:planks, 999 Minecraft:torches, 999 pairs of Minecraft:flint and steel, 999 Minecraft:diamond shovels, 999 Minecraft:diamond pickaxes, 999 Minecraft:lava source blocks, and 999 Minecraft:water source blocks.

Minecraft:Sky

• Faster brightness re-calculation.

General

• The game now keeps a cyclic buffer of near chunks in memory, so it no longer runs out of memory when players walk for a long distance.
  • However, the game does not yet save anything to the disk, so players lose data from chunks they unload.<ref name="Word of Notch"/>

Structures

Minecraft:Obsidian wall

General

• The test skybox has been removed; the sky now more closely resembles what it is in modern versions.
