A big game update, largely built from your feedback. The launcher installs the new version on its own: just restart it.

Highlights

Books

Real books

Every book (Athena tomes, sky notebook, observatory manual, written and enchanted books) opens from its cover with an animation. No more buttons: click a page to turn it, click beside the book or on the ribbon to close it.

Potions

The experience urn

The final reward of the Potions collection: an amphora holding up to 50 levels. Its liquid XP glows, lights up its surroundings and rises behind its windows.

Fishing

Fishing fights

Trophy and legendary fish fight back: click at the right moment in the golden zone to reel them in. If they get away, they come back a little later.

Books

  • Embroidered bookmarks on the side lead to chapters, plans, notes or the notebook’s sections. The binding depends on the kind of book.
  • The text uses a modern, more readable font, with dark ink for everyone (colorblind players included).
  • Book size can be set in the accessibility options.
  • Sky notebook: one celestial body per page, a Deep sky tab, and pages revealed as you observe.
  • Athena tomes: Chapters, Plans (the torn plan pieces itself together before your eyes) and Notes tabs, keeping only what you have discovered.

Experience

  • From half of the Potions collection: crouch with empty bottles in hand to fill them into Minecraft bottles o’ enchanting (7 points each, what a bottle gives back on average).
  • At the end of the collection: the experience urn.
    • Crouch + use: pour your XP in. Use: take one level back.
    • Break it with any tool: it keeps its XP. Placed again, it gets it back. It fits on a shelf.
    • It gives a redstone signal matching its fill (1 to 15), read by dust as well as by a comparator.

Fishing

  • Both the rod and the bucket count for the collection, without counting a released fish twice.
  • Minecraft’s fish now appear in the Notebook.
  • A fish’s size has its class (fry, ordinary, fine, trophy), and the server now keeps each species’ records.
  • The “wait… it’s biting” messages are gone.

Mining

  • The hammers’ Smelting enchantment now cooks everything a furnace would: cobblestone into stone, sand into glass, raw ores into ingots… Blocks a furnace would spoil (bricks, sandstone, terracotta, logs) stay as they are.

Interface

  • BlocInfo shows the redstone signal of dust, levers, buttons, plates, repeaters, comparators, torches and sensors.
  • The held item’s name shows above the health bar, without the big box.
  • The hopper filter only gilds the top of the hopper, and has a new icon.
  • Collections: items shown large, and the “set your base” step shows the map’s icon.

Fixes

  • The telescope’s crosshair is properly centered.
  • The pause menu shows your own skin.
  • Signs and name tags no longer change font while a screen is open.
  • Opening your inventory could crash the game.
  • Comet and altitude explanations are clearer, in game and on the wiki.
