  • Most patterns are created by arranging dyes in certain ways around a banner on a crafting table
    • The dyes cannot be shifted or flipped even if there is space, known as a fixed recipe.
  • Additional patterns: creeper, skull & crossbones, brick, and flower - making these without dyes will result in a black pattern, use dyes to get different colors (items: creeper skull, wither skeleton skull, brick block, oxeye daisy)

  • Up to 6 layers of patterns possible
  • Can be placed on walls or on the ground (16 rotations possible)
  • Sway as if blown by wind
  • Can be cloned by crafting them together with a blank banner
  • Top-most layer can be removed using cauldrons
• NBT tags See the NBT file format. For using NBT in commands, see Tutorials/Command NBT Tags. The Named Binary Tag format is used by Minecraft for the various files in which it saves data.
  • New Silent tag for entities
    • Setting to 1 disables sound produced by that entity, such as idle and hurt sounds.
• Statistics The general statistics screen. Statistics are a game featureSpecial attraction that allows players to track how many times they have completed certain tasks. Statistics are divided into four sections: General, Blocks, Items and Mobs. The General

  • Made creeper, skeleton and zombie heads available in survival
  • Creepers, skeletons, wither skeletons, and zombies drop their heads when killed by charged creepers. Wither skeletons continue to have heads as rare drops See the items that drop from entities and blocks. For drops as in falls, see Fall Damage. Typical drops from a skeleton: experience orbs, an arrow, and bones. Drops are items that .

    • Presumably this will say something different if modded. Very few mods (or even APIs) currently exist for versions this recent.
• F3+H tooltips now show how many NBT tags an item has
• Block names no longer contain blockstate data in brackets next to their name (in the view of a block`s name and data along the right side of the screen)
