Overview
This update rewrote biome generation, which is why worlds created before and after it look completely different. Temperature-based biome clustering meant deserts stopped bordering tundra, and a dozen new biomes filled the map out. Stained glass gave builders their first translucent colour, and the fishing rework turned an idle activity into a viable source of enchanted books.
