Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6

Plantilla:Version nav

Beta 1.9-pre6 is the sixth pre-release for 1.0.0.

Additions

• Added (currently useless) dragon egg.
• credits.txt, earlyplayers.txt and win.txt added to /title/ in minecraft.jar.
• Added "Particles" setting in Video Settings. Has three possible states: "All", rendering all particle effects, "Decreased", rendering half of all particle effects, and "Minimal", rendering no particle effects (except for those created when breaking blocks).
• Added ending titles and credits.
• Ender Crystal added, an entity which sits atop of a block of bedrock. It is diamond shaped, with 2 cubes spinning on their axis with a point at the center that fires a healing beam at the Enderdragon when within range, and can be destroyed with a melee or hit with an arrow, causing an explosion. They appear on all obsidian spikes in The End.

Changes

• Revised beds; Attempting to sleep in a Bed while hostile mobs are nearby will display "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby".
• Several block's tool weaknesses have been fixed, such as Crafting Tables now mining faster with an Axe and rails now mining faster with a Pickaxe.
• Mined stairs of any materials will drop a stair block now instead of a block form of its material.
• Changes to the mining time of many blocks, including Redstone Ore, stone brick, Nether Brick, iron bars, doors, Monster Spawners and obsidian, making their mining times much faster.
• 'Efficiency' enchantment now affects all blocks for any tool enchanted with it.
• Tools not suited to digging a certain block can be faster than digging by hand, e.g. a pickaxe can dig dirt faster than by hand, but not faster than by shovel.
• More minor changes to textures, this time to:
  • Side texture of grass, adhering to dirt texture change in previous pre-release
  • Sand
• Sun and Moon are square again.
• Downward flowing water now creates flowing water once more.
• More finished Enderdragon boss fight.
  • "Boss Health" Meter appears on the middle top part of the screen in the same purple hue as the Enderdragon.
  • Leaves behind a fountain like bedrock structure with the Enderdragon Egg sitting on top and has another Ender Portal to return to the players spawn point/ bed.
