Additions

  • Opens with a configurable key binding, by default Template:Keys.
  • Whether a player is hidden resets when re-joining a server.

Changes

Items

Minecraft:Netherite leggings

• Changed the texture of the worn netherite leggings model.

General

Minecraft:Crashes

• More information is now added to the crash log in cases where poor performance causes the server to crash.

Minecraft:Options

• Added "joinedFirstServer" option to options.txt.

Minecraft:Protocol versions

• New network protocol scheme, with a high bit (bit 30) set for snapshots. The protocol version will increase by 1 for each snapshot, but full releases may keep the same protocol version as the previous full release in cases where the network protocols are compatible.

Minecraft:Servers

• When the server and client version are incompatible, a message reading "Incompatible version!" is displayed, instead of "Client out of date!" or "Server out of date!".
