Changes

Blocks

General

• Blocks no longer have bits for metadata, the freed up bits are now used for block ids (dynamically).

Mobs

Minecraft:Slimes

• "Slime sizing was moved to a post-spawn method, so the slime's canSpawn() method would report spawnability based on the initial size, not the final size. There is an added secondary check which fixes the issue."<ref>Template:Tweet</ref><ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

World generation

Minecraft:Caverns

Trivia

• 14w20a was previously removed from the Minecraft:launcher for some time, but was added back in September 2018.
• "Warning! A huge battleship "STEVE" is approaching fast!" is a reference to Darius, a series of games with the same sentence, showing before boss fights.
