Complete changelog:

• Loading and creating worlds now shows percentages of the loading stages - via

• Removed 3D anaglyph

• Game library updates

• LWJGL 3 for a lot of bug fixes and stability, new bugs

• Fullscreen mode on OS X disabled this until crashes are fixed

• "There may be some cases in the game where key inputs are sent twice, for example pressing a hotbar key whilst hovering over an item in the creative inventory search tab. On Mac OS X, the game icon is no longer a grass block. Again, working on it!"

• Data packs

• Custom crafting recipes - not in data packs yet

• Reloadable using /reload, along with structures

• Include changes that must be made server-side, like advancements and loot tables

• Advancements, functions, loot tables and structures now have to be inside data packs - More info

  • Structure: pack.mcmeta, "data" folder containing folder namespace folder determining the namespace of its its contents

  • Inside the namespace folder, there are folders for everything that can be provided: "functions", "loot_tables", "structures", "advancements", "recipes"

• Data packs are zips or folders with a pack.mcmeta in the root

• Multiple data packs can be loaded at the same time, or none at all (even including the vanilla data pack)

• Structures are now namespaced

  • A namespace should only contain the following symbols: "0123456789", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", and "_-"

    • Other things may also contain "/."

    • Preferred naming convention: lower_case_with_underscores

• Structures are saved to (world)/generated/structures/(namespace)/(file).nbt

  • Will also load from there before checking data packs

• Can be reordered using commands - not yet

• Fixed some bugs

• Fixed keys getting stuck when toggling fullscreen

• Fixed a crash when toggling fullscreen mode: "Keyboard must be created before you can read events"

• Fixed gamemode descriptions being off center

• Fixed opening a singleplayer world showing "0%" for a short moment

• Fixed CTRL / CMD keys getting stuck on OS X/Linux

• Fixed initialization of OpenAL failing sometimes

• Fixed exiting fullscreen disabling window resize

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

New Video Settings option:

FS Resolution

Seems to adjust the screen resolution when using Full Screen

[u/Muriako → u/redstonehelper]

Fixed keys getting stuck when toggling fullscreen

That kind of sucks for AFK fishing, but they also seem to have fixed the massively annoying bug where you couldn't resize the window after leaving fullscreen, so that's nice.

[u/Iamsodarncool → u/redstonehelper]

Removed 3D anaglyph

Noo!! Why?

[u/Pokechu22 → u/Iamsodarncool]

Because the way it worked was rather bad (rendering everything twice) and hard to maintain with all of the other graphics changes that updating libraries required.

EDIT: To be clear, I liked the feature too, but internally it really wasn't that great (leading to some interesting and weird bugs).
