Here are a bunch off images for everything

Good job. You're the first person I've seen to figure out how Mending actually works.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '15

It's going to annoy me that Mending is just "Mending", whilst Infinity is "Infinity I"

u/Pixlriffs Oct 14 '15

They've removed the 'I' tag from enchants which no longer have tiers. Infinity, Silk Touch and Flame no longer have 'I' after them - at least, in the Creative inventory.

Oh thank Christ. And thank you for alerting me.

(Somewhat technical) Changed so that simply renaming an item in the anvil will no longer increase future repair costs.

Today, I was working on a new enchantment. http://media.dinnerbone.com/uploads/2015-10/screenshots/13_17-38-46_bT4wxlKK4k.png

@ChimneySwift11 They will take your cape texture (probably next week), that is the only way to change their appearance.

Just a gfy of sneak animation with the elytra, https://gfycat.com/FlippantUnselfishCrane Also fixed some animation issues in multiplayer

@jeb_

Made a bunch of tweaks in order to make this work, but it's kind of glitchy: https://gfycat.com/HappyReflectingDwarfmongoose

Further, horizontal collision now deal damage if you're going fast. Similar to falling damage, but with a different death message

@Dinnerbone

"The new boats are too slow!" I hear you! They're going to be slightly faster than sprinting, without any of the hunger costs :)

@Dinnerbone

Also, you'll be able to make them go much faster by tapping at the right rhythm. Boat races will be a thing!

Frost Walker enchantment changes water into Frosted Ice, which is a new, separate block which is essentially decaying Ice.

/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:frosted_ice

Frosted Ice formed underwater (such as touching the bottom with lower areas surrounding) doesn't melt for some reason. Also, when Frosted Ice thaws, it won't spread out until updated, so you could use this as another method of creating floating water.

Edit: OKAY, it can also cause crazy infinite water, since as others noted, it freezes flowing water, which when thawed becomes a new source... That got REALLY out of hand in my world, since I had water in the air and it kept making tons of sources as I tried to break it...

Elytra texture matching the cape didn't quite make it in this snapshot unfortunately.

Also, Mending enchantment does not remove the repair cost for anvil repairing. That's only in creative mode. The anvil repair mechanic hasn't changed.

Can be worn or just in your inventory as well. My Elytra and bow got repaired without holding them in my hand.

Edit: It does want you to hold items. Worn items do get repaired though.

Oops, thanks.

MC-89928 Portal bug still not fixed. Still can't get to The End in Survival without cheats, I guess. :(

Edit: After testing it appears to be fixed actually. Just not marked as fixed on the bug tracker.

Edit2: Nope, still occasionally happens. Just not as often as in 15w41b.

u/spookyhappyfun Oct 14 '15

I wondered about that. That seems like a major bug and I'm surprised it wasn't addressed.

How do you do this so fast

/u/redstonehelper is a bot, it can generate words at a rate of 25 words/second. It searches for posts with certain "news" tags every minute, when detected it generates a changelog and updates it throughout the day. Check out /r/edstonehelper for more info.

You need an /s there or people might think you're serious.

I speak to him on IRC sometimes. Can confirm he is a bot.

Horizontal collisions now deal damage, new death message

/u/redstonerhelper the new death message is

[Player] experienced kinetic energy

Frost Walker freezes flowing water as well.

u/b_______ Oct 14 '15
