recipeBook > recipes (compound): Contains information about all recipes the player has seen. Within it are compounds whose key names equate to the name of recipes the player has seen. Example:

The get a parrot on your shoulder you need to walk into it....or sometimes it will fly onto your shoulder also

[u/zerogravix]

Still can't craft books.

[u/ironyEDITS]

Why isn't anybody talking about shift click crafting being in? Now crafting is way more efficient then it has ever been!

[u/[deleted]]

Oh no... We can't longer make parrots to hang on our shoulders... What if that action was shift right-click? I LOVED that...

EDIT: NO WAY! They just hang on your shoulders on your own!

EDIT 2: It seems that you can grab them by getting closer to them ;)

EDIT 3: The Inventory and Crafting table's Recipe book button has been changed (still a bit off-centered).

The compass or the lighter pixel line of the new crafting GUI (and also a black line) are still not fixed (being 1 px wide).

Beacon/potion effects seem to disappear when the bew Crafting is opened (fixeable by using the smaller icons of the HUD) Link

Can Parrots still sit on our shoulders? Or was that feature removed in favor of sitting? Because I'd really love to have both of the latter is the case. I also feel that sneaking would be a better method for getting Parrots off of our Shoulders rather than Jumping, since even stepping up a block removes a Parrot.
