changedCompassOn top of the screen, you'll see some indication on the direction you're looking at, and points of interest which are also in your map.
addedBreak and place blocks and itemsThe new default controls for breaking and placing blocks have been changed: - the first slot of the hotbar is now your empty hand. When it is selected, you can break blocks using Left or Right Click. - when you have a block or item in your hand, press Left Click to place it, and Right Click to remove and collect a block. - you can go back to the previous controls in the Controls menu where there is a "Mouse button to place a block" setting: if you change this, you'll need to press Right Click to place it, and Left Click to remove it just like before this update.
added"Transform into object" toolThe "Make useful" tool is renamed "Transform into object" and now offers a preview of the result. You'll need to hold Left click for one second to transform a shape into an object. During this one second, you'll see a preview and will be able to cancel the action if the preview does not match your expected result.
added"Gife life" powerThe "Gife life" power now has a preview of the blocks affected. You'll need to hold Left click for one second to give life to a shape. During this one second, you'll see which blocks will be part of the creature, and you will be able to cancel the action if you realise you're giving life to your entire house and not just a few blocks ;)
removedInventoryThe hotbar as been improved in the inventory, with icons making it clear that you remove a item from the hotbar, and the possibility to swap item places in the hotbar.
