The dried ghast is also getting a new recipe, based on soul sand and ghast tears. We have updated Unifont to 16.0.03 and this time we included glyphs from Unifont's Private Use Areas. That means creators will now be able to use scripts in the Under-ConScript Unicode Registry like Tengwar or Sitelen Pona.<h1>Changes</h1><ul><li>Splash Potions effect strength is now based on the
