=== Blocks ===

** When chests are put together, items previously in the left chest appear at the bottom half. Items from the right chest will also appear at the top. This may cause a loss of items.
** Chests now have an open/close animation.
** The player can open chests in creative, but not look inside; they will immediately close.
* Quartz [[slab]]s

== Changes ==

=== General ===
* Added more friction when flying in Creative Mode (iOS).
* Stopped building the game with typeinfo enabled (iOS).
* Wooden slab material changed to wood instead of stone. Wooden Slabs stored from before 0.7.3 are tagged as ''Fake Wood Slab'' and drop regular wooden slabs when mined.
* When creating a new world, the default name shows "My World".

=== Mobs ===
* Mobs now light on fire under sunlight.
