That’s right, it’s snapshot time again. As before, major upcoming changes are being carefully guarded, in anticipation of Minecon 2016, in Anaheim, California. Even so, there are a number of neat additions today, as well as a litany of bugfixes! Let’s dive in.

Minecraft 1

What’s new?

  • Shields will now keep enchantment level and durability when crafted with banners
  • Added an infinite loop (See entry 7)
  • 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…)
  • Mojang has not lowered the range for using beds (they did add a proper error message though)

To get snapshots, open your launcher and press the “New Profile” button. Call it “snapshots” and check the box saying “Enable experimental development snapshots” and save. To switch to the normal version, you can select it in the dropdown at the bottom left corner of the launcher. Back up your world first or run the game on in a different folder (See the “new profile” dialog). Snapshots can corrupt your world, please backup and/or run them in a different folder from your main worlds.
