Differences from Beta 1.5
General
- The snowfall looks slightly different.
- Under the inventory itself, there are the "Achievements" and the "Statistics" buttons.
- There are only the first three achievements: Taking inventory, Getting wood, and Benchmarking.
- Only the first words of the achievements' names are capitalized (the "E" of Taking inventory isn't too).
- The layering of the icon for Benchmarking is glitched.
- The background of the achievements screen resembles dirt instead of stone and ores.
- The green lines and the grayed out ones used to connect two achievements that aren't both complete are missing.
- There in no Taken! text that usually appears when you complete an achievement, and no period at the end of Taking inventory's description.
- In the top right corner there is a map of the whole achievements tree, that's bigger than usual but almost empty.
- Under the map there is the description of When Pigs Fly, written like the achievements text in the top left corner.
- The dirt background is lighter.
- The "Distance by Minecart", "Distance by boat", and "Distance by pig" statistics are missing.
- Some of the blocks' icons are slightly different.
