Changes in 18w07c

• The game shouldn't crash when opening your inventory!

Phantoms

You look tired. When's the last time you got a decent night's rest? Bad things happen to those who don't sleep... they start to hallucinate, and see what's really there.

• Spawns in the overworld and the end
• Attacks players who haven't slept in a while
• Drops leather, but this may change

Turtles

The turtle moves.

• Spawns on warm beaches, but this is temporary
• Will lay eggs in their home beach
• You can craft pieces of their old shell into one big shell
  • And wear it on your head!
  • Or craft it into a potion!
  • Turtles are known for their strength, not their speed
• Please be kind to turtles. They hold up the world.

Kelp and Seagrass

The green in the blue!

• Seagrass generates in all oceans, but this is temporary
• Kelp doesn't generate in deep oceans, but this is temporary
• Kelp can be smelted to get dry kelp
  • A tasty snack for the ocean adventurer!
  • Or a convenient way to fuel more smelting
  • Or just store it away into a dried kelp block

Bubble columns

Blub blub blub blub.

• Doesn't generate anywhere currently
• Occurs when a magma block is in water
• Watch out, you'll get sucked under!
• A good way to breath without cheating game mechanics ;)

Stripped logs

Go ahead, axe us a question.

• You can strip logs by using an axe on them (right-click)
• Stripped logs act like regular logs in furnaces, crafting, etc
• They look neat!

Tridents

Some say that throwing your only weapon away is a bad idea. We disagree.

• Right click to throw the trident
• Left click to melee
• Currently unobtainable in survival, that will change
• Super overpowered, we'll balance them later
• Has 4 available enchantments
  • Loyalty: Your trident will come back to you. Spoil-sport.
  • Impaling: Very useful against creatures of the sea.
  • Riptide: Gotta go fast.
  • Channeling: We're not sure. It's pretty spooky.
• UI icon is not yet implemented
