## Notes on some features
### Inventory, Terrain and Entity Handling
Inventory handling is currently not supported in versions: `1.4.6 - 1.9`
Terrain handling is currently not supported in versions: `1.4.6 - 1.6`
Entity handling is currently not supported in versions: `1.4.6 - 1.9` (but `1.8` and `1.9` are being worked on, almost at the working state, only `EntityMetadata` packet remains to be fixed)
There features might not always be implemented in the latest version of the game, since they're often subjected to major changes by Mojang, and we need some time to figure out what has changed and to implement the required changes.
If there was a major game update, and the MCC hasn't been updated to support these features, if you're a programmer, feel free to contribute to the project.
