Crops, Flowers and Farming

be right-clicked to harvest their fruits. The seeds can be obtained through trading with Wandering

Traders or by finding the crops in Villages. The Chili fruit will damage the player when eaten

while also granting Fire Resistance for one minute.

Savanna variants.

Redstone

Rain Detector A block similar to the Daylight Detector that will emit a redstone signal with

different strengths depending on the weather. 0 for sunshine, 1 for rain and 2 for thunderstorms.

Painting system

To avoid the trial and error of placing and replacing Paintings to get the desired variants, the

painting crafting system has been reworked. By using the Easel block, the painting variant of the

player’s choice can be selected and crafted. Each painting takes one to seven Dyes and a Canvas to

craft. The Easel supports recipe lookup in JEI and custom Painting variant recipes can be added

using data packs. The four paintings “Earth”, “Wind”, “Fire” and “Water” by Mojang is obtainable

using the Easel. When placing a Painting crafted with an Easel the painting entity is modified to

remember which item was used and the entity will drop the correct Painting item when broken.

Tweaks

Polar Bears drop Polar Bear Fur and Raw Polar Bear Meat

Wither Skeletons drop Wither Bones

Drowned drop Drowned Flesh.

Painting entities placed with the specific painting variant item will drop the correct item when

broken.

Sneaking + Right-clicking a Sticky Piston with an Axe removes the Slime Ball.

Sneaking + Right-clicking on a Piston with a Slime Ball will turn the Piston into a Sticky Piston.

Blaze Powder can be used as fuel in a Furnace
