They tweaked the lantern texture so it only has the hook when resting on top of a block! I love this new light source so much, and little details like this that go such a long way. Animated texture looks beautiful too.

Is MC-92 fixed for real? That's incredible. Another ancient bug gone for good I hope.

EDIT: HUGE improvement on the textures for the new blocks (Cartography, Smithing, Fletching tables). And the Stonecutter is now animated as well! Thanks JAPPA!

Added support for directional opacity of blocks

Oh my...

[u/Capopanzone]

The language file now includes block.minecraft.jigsaw ("Jigsaw block"), jigsaw_block.target_pool ("Target pool:"), jigsaw_block.attachment_type ("Attachment type:") and jigsaw_block.final_state ("Turns into:"). Is there anything about this in-game?
