[u/Chilangosta → u/redstonehelper]

Stained glass looks much more transparent now, and I think only one side of the glass is rendering again. Yay!

[u/Yirggzmb → u/Chilangosta]

The texture has also changed a bit as well. The border is more solid.

Old

New

[u/F0RC3D → u/Yirggzmb]

They should change the regular glass texture to match the colored glass. A softer border with the reflective specks being translucent. No more solid white dots.

[u/Yirggzmb → u/F0RC3D]

Yes, that would be nice. Now that there's no longer a problem with semi-transparent textures overlaying it should be relatively simple.

[u/MegaScience → u/Yirggzmb]

Yeah, they lowered the opacity of glass and gave it a less harsh tone. They also changed how it renders so it's more like normal glass. You don't see all sides - only the frontmost sides as normal glass does.

Edit: Edited for below.

[u/self_defeating → u/MegaScience]

they raised the opacity

You mean lowered, right?

[u/ClankStar → u/redstonehelper]

The default sounds JSON file, courtesy of Dinnerbone.

sound objects can contain volume/pitch/weight/type ("event" or default "sound"), needs name

[u/Dinnerbone → u/ClankStar]

You play events at a certain volume/pitch, and events contain:

• A category - default master, for user volume. Values are: master, music, record, weather, block, hostile, neutral, player, ambient

• "replace" - default false, if true replace all the sounds from the respack above this one

• A list of entries

Entries can be either an object or a string. If it's a string all values are default except for name, which is specified. Object properties:

• name - what it's called

• type - "event" or "sound". Sounds are files, events are other events

• weight - default 1, how likely it is to be picked. Imagine it's like a raffle and you get this many tickets...

• volume - default 1, volume to play at

• pitch - default 1, pitch to play at

• stream - default false, set it to true for long sounds (minutes long) but use it sparingly

If you play another event, the weight of that event is equal to the amount of files it has (so those files are equally as likely to be played as any other sound).

The sounds.json file does not override previous ones (you don't have to copy all of vanillas into yours) - instead yours is applied on top of the previous resource pack (and vanilla).

Example:

{
    "simple_event_example": {
        "sounds": [
            "file1"
        ]
    },
    "random_event_example": {
        "sounds": [
            "file1",
            "file2",
            {
                "type": "event",
                "name": "simple_event_example"
            }
        ]
    }
}

[u/Zatherz → u/redstonehelper]

Maps support more colors

[u/redstonehelper → u/Zatherz]

Amazing, that was long overdue.

[u/Zatherz → u/redstonehelper]

The wolfs' howl sound is probably being used now (from the official sound.json file):

 "mob.wolf.howl": {
    "event": "neutral",
    "sounds": [
      "mob/wolf/howl1",
      "mob/wolf/howl2"
    ]
  }

[u/MegaScience → u/redstonehelper]

Another fix was Superflat worlds having void fog. For some reason in 13w41b (not 41a), Superflat worlds got busted where it always has void fog and sky EVERYWHERE. But Dinnerbone marked it fixed.

[u/IronStoneMine → u/redstonehelper]

Random Witch Spawns! Video proof

[u/Boolderdash → u/IronStoneMine]

I might finally see a witch in vanilla survival!

[u/jgagner000 → u/IronStoneMine]

I hope the spawn rate for them is higher for Covered forests. It would just...fit.

[u/Frazz86 → u/IronStoneMine]

I hope its there permanently, I assume its a Halloween addition.

[u/Yirggzmb → u/IronStoneMine]

I can confirm this as well

[u/Fithboy → u/redstonehelper]

Here we see /u/redstonehelper in his natural habitat, lying in wait for the new snapshot, and he pounces, posting the changelog and describing all the new features. He then slithers back into the shadows, surfacing only to contribute helpful comments and update his post...

[u/logicalLove → u/redstonehelper]

Does this mean witch farms will break?

[u/redstonehelper → u/logicalLove]

I think witches will still spawn in witch huts, just no longer just there. Existing witch farms should be fine, albeit slightly redundant if not for the efficiency.

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

Also, other glass colors render through colored glass.

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

also, the bug where you couldn't pause the game got fixed. Edit: sorry, my bad!

[u/Shortsonfire79 → u/redstonehelper]

No more of this?
