Magnificent mob hats now on sale!

It’s getting pretty chilly outside. The wind howls! The rain lashes! No doubt, the snows are soon to follow. We've already had a taste of what winter can do here in Sweden - as you might have noticed from Shoghi's twitter feed!

Changes in 19w11a

• Lots of accessibility improvements!

• Added a new "Globe" banner pattern and item (Currently only accessible from commands or the creative inventory)

• Trading changes

• Added recipe for smithing and fletching table

• TNT and TNT minecart explosions now have 100% drop rate

• Villager changes

Accessibility

• There's a new Accessibility menu which provides a useful place for all of our accessibility features to be toggled

• When the narrator is turned on, buttons will be narrated on focus

• Most screens allow tab and shift+tab navigation through buttons, edit boxes and other UI elements

• Most lists allow up/down arrow keys to navigate through them

• We've added a new option for turning up the background of all transparent text elements, which should help make them more readable for some people

Smithing Table and Fletching Table

• Smithing table is crafted with 4 planks + 2 iron ingots

• Fletching table is crafted with 4 planks + 2 flint

• Villagers use them as a work site

• We've decided not to add the functionality for these blocks for this update as we want to make sure that they're useful for the overall gameplay. We think we have a great use for them with the next major themed update

Trading changes

• Lots of new trades have been added

• Villagers now level up in a new way

• The trading UI is updated (WIP)

• The trading prices now depend on your reputation and on demand

• The villagers will restock up to two times per day (if they can work at their work station!)

• Added visual trading; villagers will display the item they want to trade for your in-hand item

Villager changes

• Villagers now have a daily schedule. They will for example go to work and meet up at the village bell

• Each villager will try to find their own bed and work station

• Each profession has a specific block that works as a work station for them (e.g. lectern for the librarian and cauldron for the leatherworker)

• Village detection is now based on beds, job sites and meeting points instead of doors

• Iron golems will spawn when enough villagers meet
