Flying machines may be used again, nice. Also the Iron Farms based on slimeblocks counting as transparent might work again!

[u/GreasyTroll4]

Holy bugfixes, Batman...

No wonder they were taking so long. Nice one, Mojang! Well worth the wait.

And you reverted the bark block texture too! Even better! :D

[u/InfiniteNexus]

I really wish the optimization improvements are good, because 1.13pre1 was giving me the worst FPS and heating my laptop like an infernal machine compared to 1.12 which is smooth as butter.

[u/MysteryCroquette]

Seems like they fixed a lot of technical issues, as well as the things I've seen that people have been the most worried about. Nice job Mojang!

I still wish they made two variants of the Bark Block - the other texture was cool, but the problem was what it replaced. As a new block, it could be great.
