  • Now bounce the player like slime blocks, albeit much less.
  • Now reduce (but not negate) fall damage when landed on.
    • The player can survive a 41 block fall onto a bed.
      • Any higher, and the second bounce deal the remaining amount of damage to kill them.
    • The player can survive a 45 block fall onto a bed if they don't take further fall damage (e.g. by landing on a platform).
  • Now a block entity, and each half can be colored individually using the color tag.
  • Now use a 3D item model instead of a 2D item because of the new colors.
