Items

Eye of Exit

• The item has a similar texture and use to an Eyes of Ender, except they help to locate the exit portal for each mine. They are crafted by surrounding one iron ingot with eight copper ingots in a crafting table. You unlock the advancement "Spy Eye" for crafting one. Upon using an Eye of Exit, it will damage you (unless you have the upgrade that prevents that), and floats in the air to indicate the direction of the exit portal.

• Used inside the Dimension Control block to set the look of the sky in the current dimension.

• A meter similar to the horse jump meter replaces the XP bar to show the current speed boost.

Mobs

Angry Ghast

• Shoots a burst of 3 fireballs at the player.

  • Renamed the "Eye Spy" advancement to "Spy Eye" and changed its in-game description from "Follow an Eye of Ender" to "Craft an Eye of Exit"
• Added the "Unlocks", "Feats", and "Down the Hatch" tabs

Changes

This snapshot completely overhauls the game. Instead of spawning in the overworld, upon creating a world the player spawns in a hub dimension centered around a Mine Crafter. On interacting with the mine crafter, a window similar to that of a crafting table opens and the player can create “Mines”, sub worlds with world presets, a few of which the player spawns with, and the rest of which can be unlocked by completing various activities within mines. The player can enter these, and on leaving is given experience based on the blocks they have in their inventory on leaving. The inventory is separate between different mines. The player can use experience to buy upgrades (called “unlocks” in game), such as more inventory space. Other changes include:

• The player cannot craft normally until the ability is unlocked and must rely on a crafter to craft items
• Worlds can no longer be created in Creative, but the gamemode can still be selected with commands
• The main menu logo has been changed to "Craftmine: Java Edition"

Trivia

• This version has no panorama, making it the first version since Beta 1.7.3 to lack one.
• The loading screen is black by default.
• "Doors yearn for the keys!" may be a reference to a line from a trailer for A Minecraft Movie, where Jack Black (Steve) says: "As a child, I yearned for the mines."
• The Angry Ghast’s shooting of three fireballs resembles the Giant Ghast in Minecraft Story Mode.
• The menu is a reference to The Matrix.
  • The text that appears in the background is in Illageralt, the language that appears often in Minecraft Dungeons.
• The End portal frame textures exist in the game files despite them being removed from this version.
