Water physics

Oops, we spilled a bit.

• You can place water in the following blocks: stairs, slabs, fences, walls, iron bars, glass panes, chests, trap doors, ladders, signs
• Water can flow out these blocks, but can not flow into them
• When full of water, they will count as water blocks for all gameplay (such as swimming)
• This isn't final and more blocks may contain water in the future
• Water will not flow through solid faces (such as backs of stairs)
• We have removed the blocks flowing_water and flowing_lava
• We have removed the block tags water_hacked and waterlogged
• All of the above blocks now have a state waterlogged
• Blocks such as bubble column or kelp will always count as a water source

Buried Treasure

We found this cool stuff! Let's hide it.

• Can be found... somewhere?
• Maps found in Underwater Ruins can lead you to them
• Will contain a very cool treasure... which isn't added yet

Tropical Fish

We found nemo! And all his friends!

• They come in many colours!
• They come in many patterns!
• Like other fish, you can catch them up in a bucket
• You can find them in warm and lukewarm oceans

Map markers

You are here. Or there. I'm not sure, it's somewhere here.

• Right click on a banner with a map to add it to the map
• Right click on the same banner again to remove it
• That map will show the colour of the banner at that spot
• Named banners will show their name on the map too
• If a banner is destroyed, it'll disappear when you get close and are holding the map

Phantom

"Less derpy" - Jeb

• Now despawn during the day
• No longer spawn in The End
• They have a new model! And texture! Pretty neat.
