Better Pralpha

Players install the agent for the rd-132211 build only, and it runs on both the client and the server, so a server and every player need it. Snapshot builds are published alongside the stable release, and the author holds all rights, so the code is not open source.

The agent packs several gameplay changes into the original tech test, led by Tactical Slide: a burst of forward speed taken with a lowered camera and a crouched collision box that can pass a one-block gap, followed by a few blocks of coasting before friction slows the player. Stone generates beneath the grass layer, and wood blocks no longer follow the old hardcoded height limit. The world also runs noticeably faster than the original build on the same tiny voxel map.

The controls stay close to the original game. WASD and the arrow keys move, Space jumps, Left Ctrl slides, Keys 1 to 4 pick a block from the hotbar, Left Click breaks, Right Click places, Enter saves the world and Esc quits. A rotated three-dimensional preview shows the selected block, and a selection indicator marks the active slot.
