Resin Bricks

• Recipes for Resin Brick Slabs, Stairs, and Walls now give the same amount of blocks as the Nether Brick ones

Developer's Note: Counting is hard.

Resin Clump

• Mobs now correctly pathfind over Resin Clumps

Commands

• Translated rawtexts with extra percentage signs in them no longer expand inconsistently for numbered forms ("%%%%1"), compared to non-numbered ones ("%%%%s")

  • All trees can now grow through leaves, with the exception of Cherry trees cannot grow through their own leaves
  • All trees can grow on dirt-like blocks
• Tall Grass generates properly with its top part in the Pale Garden biome
• Tall Grass generates properly with its top part in the Lush Caves biome

Gameplay

• Holding the jump button when falling on a Slime Block no longer cancels the bounce
• Sneaking while landing on a Slime Block no longer causes fall damage

Developer's Note: The intended way to stop bouncing on a Slime Block is now to sneak.
Previously players could stop bouncing by holding the jump button, but this was an unintentional oversight that worked since the jump effectively cancelled out the movement from the block.

This caused other types of bugs such as when hitting a mob with a Mace with Wind Charge enchantment while holding the jump button.
The new player jump behaviour is to always pick the highest between existing vertical velocity and jump velocity.

• Fixed one case where blocks would fail to place if a player would place a block and then change their selected slot before the server handled the block placement. This would reject the block placement because the server didn't expect the slot to change

Graphics

• Sky color now gradually transitions when traveling between different biomes, rather than changing abruptly
