Minecraft 2.0

Minecraft 2.0 is the first major update after the PC release of the critically acclaimed open-world sandbox game Minecraft. The update introduces a variety of features that have been mentioned and planned by the developers but never implemented before. There are also new features to make natural areas feel more lived-in, blocks and items for building, and great expansions on existing features.

==Changes==
===Blocks===
*Bed: The colors of Wood Planks and Wool used to craft a Bed now affect its appearance.
*Bricks have a modified texture so that the lines of mortar now connect between all faces.
*Bricks, Redstone Lamps, Sea Lanterns, and Wood Planks can now be dyed.
*Doors have a swinging animation. Their hitbox still changes instantly, however.
*Flower Pots will now break if hit by an arrow.
*Redstone can now travel vertically along walls and upside-down along ceilings.
*Stairs: As 6 blocks are used to craft Stairs, which are three-quarters of a full block by default, crafting them results in 8 Stairs instead of 4.
===Gameplay===
*Clouds now move in the direction of the wind and collide with each other.
*Fishing has been revised to work with the new fish mobs.
*Liquid and lighting engines have been rewritten. This was partially to accommodate the portable light of held Lanterns.
*Mineral blocks may rust if they are near and downwind of water. Suggested by .
*Seasons appear as a new feature, and affect weather, mob AI and spawning, plant growth, the appearances of certain blocks, and even day and night length.
*Wind has been added, with direction and velocity that affect clouds, grass, leaves, Wind Vanes, and more.
*World generation has been revised to accommodate the addition of Dirt, Grass, and Grass Path Slabs and Stairs—the intent being to remove the need to jump so often to climb shallow inclines—and to generate different layers (separate from block layers) underground. Certain cave types and veins, including Limestone and Marble, are much more likely to spawn in certain layers.
===Items===
*Coal can be crafted from 9xAsh.
*Fireworks frighten certain mobs within a certain large range when audible.
*Minecarts now have textures for wheels that touch the ground, and their extra bottom texture has been removed.
===Mobs===
*Ocelots and Cats appear to have larger eye whites, though the pupils remain the same size. This is probably to dispel the optical illusion of dark-haired cats having only one large eye.
