Changes in this version:
World generation:
- Warm and lukewarm oceans now have sand floors
- Removed deep warm ocean biomes, warm oceans can only be shallow now
Mobs:
- Added new fish item icons
- Some fish items exist as mobs
- Cod will spawn in moderate oceans (cold/normal/lukewarm)
- Salmon will spawn in frozen/cold oceans and rivers
- Puffer fish will spawn in lukewarm/warm oceans
- Puffer fish expand when near players, give poison on expanding
- They shrink down to their normal size after expanding, 3 sizes in total - Screenshot
- Cod and salmon are sideways when on land
- Cod and salmon are very social and prefer to swim in groups
- Can be caught with water buckets, yields a bucket with water and non-despawning fish inside
- Not complete yet, more changes coming soon (tropical fish, clownfish!)
Gameplay:
- Changed natural water visibility
- Respiration & Water Breathing no longer directly change your visibility underwater
- You can see better the longer you stay underwater
- Maximum visibility is achieved after less than a minute
- If you go back out of water, you'll quickly lose your water vision
- Dried kelp block can now be crafted from 9 dried kelp, and crafted back into 9 dried kelp
- Fixed taking an item out of the output slot of a furnace giving the player the recipe for the item in the input slot
- Fixed the furnace experience rewards depending on the item in the cooking slot, rather than output slot
- Fixed clicking into the first 7 inventory slots canceling the smelting recipe preview
Commands:
- Fixed testing for a score of x or a minimum of x doesn't work in execute if/unless score
- Selectors now tab-complete negated arguments first
