Additions
Blocks
- Slabs for each of the four types of wood added.
- New block IDs
125for double wooden slabs and126for single wooden slabs. - These new slabs no longer act like stone.
- An axe should be used to break them.
- They are no longer immune to fire and lava.
- Wooden slabs created in older versions of Minecraft are still stone-like and fireproof and don't change to the new slabs when placed or mined.
- New block IDs
Items
- Editable books, crafted using a book, feather, and ink sac.
- When a book and quill is made, it can be right-clicked to open a screen that allows player to type in the book.
- Pressing "Done" saves whatever was typed and allows player to edit the book again later, yet does not "sign" it.
- When "signing" a book, it allows player to choose a title up to 16 characters long and disable editing of the book, the book and quill then becomes a written book, with the icon changing along with the label.
- Looks the same as a regular book, but has a shine like an enchantment.
- After being finished, the written book cannot be edited again.
