Minecraft Access

New Features

Camera Look straight Up and Down

Thanks to Trix for the idea. Hope these two new keys can help you in building structures and exploring the world.

Keybindings:

• Right Alt + double Look Up Key or Look Straight Up Key (default: Keypad 0): Move the camera to the look above head direction.
• Right Alt + double Look Down Key or Look Straight Down Key (default: Keypad . (decimal, dot)): Move the camera to the look down at feet direction.

New Brazilian Portuguese Translation

Thanks to Edson.

Changes and Fixes

What's Changed

• Partial speaking crosshair by @boholder in https://github.com/khanshoaib3/minecraft-access/pull/70
• Fixed inventory control by @boholder in https://github.com/khanshoaib3/minecraft-access/pull/73
• Set the partial speaking disabled by default; Fix mod crashing on loading wrong config.json; by @khanshoaib3 in https://github.com/khanshoaib3/minecraft-access/pull/77

What's not working right now

1. In the book edit screen we can't use tab to go to the other options in the menu so we can't edit book for now.
2. In the poi locking for blocks, the mod will not correctly lock on to blocks that don't cover the entire block space or have different shape than usual blocks like levers, buttons, comparators, etc. This is because there has been a change in the code base of minecraft.

What's not working right now

1. We can't unselect the search box in recipies like the search box in the creative inventory menu. So don't use search box in inventories for now.
2. In the book edit screen we can't use tab to go to the other options in the menu so we can't edit book for now.

Changelog

• Fall detector is back but in this version instead of speaking "warning fall detected", a sound is played at block (Anvil Block Hit sound to be specific). There will be an alternate sound option in the next update.
