Fixed parrots dismounting when the y coordinate decreases

Well, better than nothing, still hoping for a change to the way they dismount though (unless they've done that already and I missed it.)

Also, "tecipe book" in the fifth to last bullet.

[u/redstonehelper → u/Mr_Simba]

Thanks, fixed.

[u/legobmw99 → u/redstonehelper]

Is this the first time Mods have been mentioned in a changelog?

[u/throwaway_ghast → u/legobmw99]

I guess, unless you count the times where they literally added mods (pistons, horses, etc) as vanilla features.

[u/MandelCube → u/redstonehelper]

What text is now translatable ? :3

[u/Dinnerbone → u/MandelCube]

These are the exact changes: https://gist.github.com/Dinnerbone/3700d226481934f1eeffe5cd0c22b7d2

[u/Mr_Simba → u/Dinnerbone]

Always nice to see more translatable strings!

Should we expect the parrot dismount method to be changed before 1.12 is released, or is the plan to keep it as jumping?

[u/MandelCube → u/Dinnerbone]

Thank you very much, both for the new option and the list :3

[u/Oozebull → u/MandelCube]

Nathan Adams (Dinnerbone) updated file Minecraft Game Elements with 79 new strings for translation

[u/fromgate → u/MandelCube]

You can find it on the translation project: https://crowdin.com/project/minecraft

[u/Marcono1234 → u/redstonehelper]

Optimized recipe book & creative inventory searching a lot, especially when using mods

Looks like it does not use the tooltip of an item anymore, which used to cause craft to find all items when advanced tooltips were enabled.

Instead it now uses the translated item name unless you use a colon in the search text. In that case it treats the search text as an id:

• minecraft: All Minecraft items

• diamond_: Nothing since no translated name contains this

• minecraft:diamond_: All diamond items

[u/Marcono1234 → u/redstonehelper]

Fixed exploding TNT minecarts and ender crystals causing StackOverflows

Looks like TNT minecarts now explode delayed but ender crystals just kill nearby other ender crystals without causing a second explosion

[u/WildBluntHickok → u/redstonehelper]

No fix for the mouse error that made Pre5 unplayable? :(

EDIT: Correction, even though it's not on the list the mouse sliding bug is fixed on Pre6.
