Experimental Features

• All Leaves blocks now emit falling leaf particles.

  • The crafting recipe unlocks when the player obtains an Iron Ingot or a Lodestone.
  • Lodestones can now be found as loot at Ruined Portals in the Overworld or Nether.

Changes

• Pale Gardens now generate more frequently and are overall larger.
• Woodland Mansions can now generate in Pale Gardens.
• The map color of Pale Oak Leaves and Pale Oak Sapling has been updated to better match their actual in-game color.
