Redstone

Rain Detector A block similar to the Daylight Detector that will emit a redstone signal with
different strengths depending on the weather. 0 for sunshine, 1 for rain and 2 for thunderstorms.

Painting system

To avoid the trial and error of placing and replacing Paintings to get the desired variants, the
painting crafting system has been reworked. By using the Easel block, the painting variant of the
player's choice can be selected and crafted. Each painting takes one to seven Dyes and a Canvas to
craft. The Easel supports recipe lookup in JEI and custom Painting variant recipes can be added
using data packs. The four paintings "Earth", "Wind", "Fire" and "Water" by Mojang is obtainable
using the Easel. When placing a Painting crafted with an Easel the painting entity is modified to
remember which item was used and the entity will drop the correct Painting item when broken.

Tweaks

Polar Bears drop Polar Bear Fur and Raw Polar Bear Meat

Wither Skeletons drop Wither Bones

Drowned drop Drowned Flesh.

Painting entities placed with the specific painting variant item will drop the correct item when
broken.
