The Update that Changed the World

2013-10-25Major release

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.

What it added

  • A dozen new biomes including mesa, roofed forest, savanna, ice spikes and mega taiga
  • Biome placement rewritten so temperature zones cluster sensibly
  • Acacia and dark oak trees with their own wood sets
  • Stained glass in all sixteen colours
  • Podzol, red sand and packed ice
  • A large set of new flowers and double-tall plants
  • Fishing overhauled with treasure and junk categories and enchantable rods
  • The /summon command and expanded server functionality
