Additions

Blocks

File:Barrier (held) JE2 BE2.png Minecraft:Barriers

• Act like a solid Minecraft:block but are completely transparent.
  • Can transfer redstone signals and allow blocks to be placed on it.
• Indestructible like Minecraft:bedrock.
• Can only be obtained using Template:Cmd.
• Use the lava texture as its breaking particle.

Gameplay

Minecraft:Spectator

• New game mode.
• Usage: Template:Cmd, Template:Cmd or Template:Cmd.
• No interaction with the world.
  • Player can move through any entity or block without interfering with it (commonly referred to as 'noclip' or as if in the Minecraft:far lands because they have fake chunks).
  • Collecting or using items is impossible, as is placing, destroying or interacting with blocks in any way.
    • A bug in this version allows the selected item from the hotbar to be dropped.
  • Viewing inventories and GUIs is possible, but it is not possible to interact with them.
    • The Minecraft:heads-up display is disabled, except for the cross hair when looking at a mob.
  • Player selectors (in commands) can target spectators.
    • Using Template:Cmd on a spectator causes the item(s) to drop at their location.
  • Spectators are not noticed by mobs, and do not trigger spawners or spawning.
    • A spectator's presence keeps a mob from Minecraft:despawning.
  • Only the Minecraft:void and Template:Cmd can damage a spectator.
• Flying mode.
  • Landing is not possible—the player can fly through the ground.
  • The Template:Mouse, the sprint key, and the Slowness and Speed effects all affect the flying speed.
• First-person view through another player or mob's eyes.
  • Left-clicking an entity locks the player's position and camera to the entity's.
  • The spectator cannot control where the entity moves or looks.
• Certain mobs have a different vision.
  • Creeper applies the new creeper.json shader.
  • Endermen applies the invert.json shader.
  • Spider and cave spider apply the new spider.json shader.
• Viewing oneself using Template:Key shows the entity.
• Pressing the dismount key (Template:Key by default) returns the player to flying mode.
• Viewing privileges.
  • Spectators can see other spectators.
    • Appear as a translucent disembodied head.
    • The selected item from the hotbar is also visible.
  • Invisible players and mobs appear visible, but translucent.

General

Minecraft:Shaders

• creeper.json.
  • Shows the world in pixelated shades of green, similar to green.json.
  • Is applied when the Minecraft:player uses Spectator mode on a Minecraft:creeper.
• spider.json.
  • A segmented-eyes effect.
  • Is applied when the player uses Spectator mode on a Minecraft:spider.

Minecraft:Splashes

  • "Put a little fence around it!"
  • "Throw a blanket over it!"
  • "One day, somewhere in the future, my work will be quoted!"

Changes

Blocks

Minecraft:Activator rail

• Powered activator rails now shake minecarts, causing riders to dismount.

Minecraft:End portal (block)

• Inventory image is now the missing texture instead of the nether portal.

Items

Minecraft:Armor

• No longer gets colored when mobs/players are hurt.

Minecraft:Written books

• Copying written books now marks them as copies/copies of copies.
• The copying status of a book (i.e. original, copy of original or copy of a copy) is denoted in a separate line in the tooltip, beneath the author's name.
• Copies of copies cannot be copied.

General

Minecraft:Debug screen

• Text now has a background.
• Replaced x, y, z, b, bl and other labels with more understandable labels.
• "Light" is now the light levels at feet, not eyes.
• Currently missing LC value.
• Minecraft:Redwood Taiga Hills M biome now shows its name in worlds created since Minecraft:13w49a.
  • Worlds created from Minecraft:13w36a to Minecraft:13w48b that already generated chunks with the biome don't show it in the debug screen, as they show Minecraft:Mega Spruce Taiga instead. In these worlds, Redwood Taiga Hills M generates normaly but it only shows in the debug screen in newly chunks generated since Minecraft:13w49a.

GUI code

• Improvements to allow "cooler things".<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
