Additions

Options

• Volume slider labeled "Voice/Speech" under "Music & Sounds"
  • Intended to be used for voice acting in custom maps

Changes

Commands

• Selector argument m
  • Supports both negation and literal gamemode values, for example:

@p[m=!1], @p[m=c], and @p[m=!spectator]

• /playsound
  • Now accepts a sound <source> as its second parameter
• /help
  • Now outputs various messages prefixed by "Searge says:" when run in a command block.

Blocks

• Bedrock
  • Can no longer drop itself as an item
• Air
  • Now translatable into other languages, for the purposes of superflat customization
• Beacons
  • Now immediately activate when placed on valid pyramids
• Stone buttons
  • Now break faster with pickaxes.
• Wooden buttons
  • Now break faster with axes.

Items

• Changed damage/armor values again to protect armored players against "backstabbing" creepers
  • Reduction in effective defense points due to attack strength will no longer take the effective defense below 25% of the armor points.
  • Max (20) armor points damage reduction increased back to 80% (was 66% since 15w36a).
• Attack cooldown does not have as great an effect on damage: reduction is linear 50%–100% rather than quadratic 0%–100%.

Mobs

• Ender dragons summoned using /summon EnderDragon will now stay in the same position no matter what
  • Unlike summoning a dragon with {NoAI:1b}, it will still flap its wings
  • These dragons do not show their boss health bar, nor do they take damage from any attack other than /kill
• Mobs are now knocked back from non-entity damage sources such as cacti (reverted in 16w03a).

Non-mob entities

• Marker ArmorStands
  • Will now only outline their equipment when glowing
