<p>This is the first alpha for the 1.8 content update. Things may change, and more content is still planned. </p>
<h1>New</h1>
<ul>
<li>Maim trap. Permanently lowers the max health of mobs on contact and will continue to do so until they have 1 heart left. Players and bosses are excluded from this and will take damage instead.</li>
<li>Player trap. Similar to the damage trap, but all damage is from a player source.</li>
<li>Monolith of Spawning. Overrides spawn checks in the same chunk, to allways allow the mob to spawn. Spawned mobs have 20% more health and attack damage.</li>
<li>Monolith of Experience. Absorbs experience orbs in the same chunk as it. EXP can be pulled from the reclaimed from the monolith.</li>
<li>Using wither dust on a skeleton will turn it into a wither skeleton.</li>
<li>Dispensing wither dust will turn skeletons into wither skeletons. </li>
<li>Pearl Ender Hopper. An upgrade to the old ender hopper that is instant, and doesn't spawn particles. </li>
</ul>
<h1>Changes</h1>
<ul>
<li>Fire trap now does 2 fire damage instead of 1.</li>
<li>Items and blocks with sub types (like traps) now have specific information pages in JEI.</li>
<li>The null charm now has 27 slots rather than 5.</li>
<li>Charms will now work in Baubles again.</li>
<li>Ender tether crafting now requires an unstable ender pearl. Normal pearl recipe removed.</li>
<li>Removed the recipe for the block update detector. Added a recipe to replace existing ones with Vanilla's BUD block.</li>
<li>Changed the recipes for lore tags, and added recipes for previously uncraftable lore tag colours.</li>
<li>Rewrote the recipe system to work better with ore dictionary and metadata.</li>
</ul>
<h1>Fixes</h1>
