MINECRAFT SNAPSHOT 16W33A

Oh happy day it’s Snapshot Time! We are releasing a new snapshot with several bug fixes, internal changes and probably also some new bugs. It would be amazing if you want to report any non-reported bugs you find in our bug tracker! Many thanks!

While we plan to keep larger new features as a surprise to reveal at Minecon, some of the smaller changes will make it into snapshots in the following next weeks. And this snapshot has…

Notable changes:

  • Shields will now keep enchantment level and durability when crafted with banners

  • Added an infinite loop

  • Added some more subtitles

  • More things will burn in the furnace (we don’t recommend wool as your main fuel though, and don’t even want to mention carpets…)

  • We have not lowered the range for using beds (we did add a proper error message though :) )

  • Fixed some crashes

  • Removed the infinite loop again, it took too long to finish
