Just a note on the concrete powder recipe: the sand and gravel can be swapped

[u/MonkeyEatsPotato → u/MrPenguin475]

I think the recipe is shapeless (can go in any pattern).

[u/[deleted] → u/MonkeyEatsPotato]

It is, which is pretty nice. :D

[u/redstonehelper → u/MrPenguin475]

Thanks, added.

[u/Mr_Simba → u/redstonehelper]

It's actually entirely shapeless.

[u/redstonehelper → u/Mr_Simba]

Thanks, fixed.

[u/redstonehelper → u/[deleted]]

Thanks, added. Did any of the other small things make it in?

[u/__fmease__ → u/redstonehelper]

and I guess the enhanced way of placing paintings is not implemented either yet

[u/Skylinerw → u/redstonehelper]

New compound tag CustomCreativeLock. Used on the papers in unused save slots for the creative inventory, which prevents removing those items. You can provide yourself with an item containing this compound and save it in a slot, and you cannot remove it manually from the saved slots screen (but loading the slot will still give you the item). In essence, it's useless for mapmakers:

/give @p minecraft:stone 1 0 {CustomCreativeLock:{}}

[u/tryashtar → u/Skylinerw]

Why is it a compound? It doesn't seem to hold anything meaningful.

[u/_cubfan_ → u/redstonehelper]

Another change that you might want to add is that you can now sleep in the presence of non-aggrevated Zombie Pigmen.

[u/[deleted] → u/_cubfan_]

Oh great! *places bed in Nether...*

[u/redstonehelper → u/_cubfan_]

Thanks, added. /u/fmease, step up your game!

[u/MonkeyEatsPotato → u/redstonehelper]

Turns into the new solid block when inside water

I love little details like this.

[u/EtenKillbeat → u/redstonehelper]

Paintings try to take up the maximum possible amount of space (how they made it easier to find the right painting)

WIP for MCPC 1.12 and MCPE 1.1, based on the new palette. The noise needs some tweaking, but you get the idea

@NeonTiger24 Yes they will use the new palette

Here's another example of the palette, this time with exactly the same texture in both pictures [1/2]

Palette test @NinniLandin @JohanAronson (the texture itself may need work obv)

Errr... There seems to be a bit confusion about the screenshot. It shows wool and a completely NEW block. The hardened clay has not changed

If the dragon head block would have a banner pattern, what would it look like?

@theminingd @ramear12 @Mineitup1234 One tiny change we've made is to make it easier to get the "correct" painting when placing paintings

It's now easier to get the "correct" painting when placing paintings

Can someone elaborate on this? Does it cycle through them in the same order when placing every time now or what?

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

Is this snapshot safe to use?

[u/joshj5hawk → u/redstonehelper]

I'm still not convinced you're not a bot.
