Additions

Items

File:Golden Apple JE1 BE1.png Minecraft:Golden apple

• Restores Template:Hp health, making it the best food in the game at the time.
• Crafted with 8 Minecraft:blocks of gold surrounding an apple.
• It is currently unobtainable in normal gameplay.

World generation

Template:See also General

• Worlds can now generate infinitely.
  • At X/Z +1,024/-512, the skybox around the world stops rendering, giving way to a blank light blue sky.
  • At around X/Z ±65,536 blocks away, the hitbox begins to lose its shape.
  • At X/Z ±131,072, the gaps between chunks begin to become jumpy and distorted. These effects begin to double every exponent of two that the player walks from here.
  • At X/Z ±2,097,152, the effects become so severe that the world seems to not render completely at certain angles.
  • At X/Z ±16,777,216, blocks are no longer solid, allowing the player to fall and hit a layer of lava, however the player can still swim through water.
  • At X/Z ±2,147,483,647 (32-bit integer limit), terrain disappears completely and the game crashes.
• The terrain generates much like it did during early versions of Classic.
• The world now only generates grass, dirt, stone, water and dandelions for the terrain, and bricks and obsidian for generated structures.

File:Brick Pyramid.png Minecraft:Brick pyramid

• Generates at the exact same positions regardless of world seed.
• Top of it is cut off due to height limit being changed from 256 (from earlier in development) to 128, and the maximum height of pyramid generation not being changed to account for this.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref><ref>IRC logs: "(09:49:01) <Wirtualnosc> umm, I thought its pyramid, but it has actually flat roof"</ref>

File:Eyc0bj7pr4w51.jpg Far Lands

• As the world now generates infinitely (or at least to 32-bit integer limit), the world generation breaks at X/Z ±33,554,432, making all terrain go to maximum possible height.
• Are a giant wall of stone blocks that go from sea level to the height limit.

File:Obsidian Wall.png Minecraft:Obsidian wall

• Generate at 0 on X and Z axes.
• Used to mark the center of a world.

General

Minecraft:Sky

Bugs

7 bugs reported

• The Minecraft:player can place a Minecraft:block inside themselves.
• The skybox cuts off after a while.
• Minecraft:Chests and Minecraft:furnaces crash the game when opened.
• Some blocks do not display their textures when placed (fire, gears, torches, crops). (They can still be selected however.)
• Minecraft:Furnaces do not have a face.
• Minecraft:Fire cannot be extinguished normally. Punching the fire instead punches the block behind it. Mining the block below it turns the fire invisible, though it is still there. Placing a block on the fire (replacing the fire with the block) removes the fire.
• Minecraft:Torches cannot be placed on the sides of a block.

Trivia

• An early developer screenshot showed this version marked as "Minecraft:Minecraft Indev".<ref>Template:TWON</ref>
• This is the first time the default world height was changed.
