Minecraft snapshot 14w20b

Update: Snapshot 14w20b has been released to fix mobs not spawning naturally.

This weeks snapshot brings many bugfixing, a little polishing and possibly even some hugs. Maybe. If you’ve been good.

Notable changes:

• Caves now generate in deserts & mesas.
• Added new /title command for ingame adventure-map chaptering.
• Made tab-list more consistent and a little prettier when using health display objective.
• Adjusting fly speed of spectator mode now works vertically too.
• If you’re stuck outside the world border, you can now walk freely to go back inside.
• Bunch of bugs fixed!
• Removed the 4th dimension from blocks. This will be a mistake and we were sorry for any inconvenience it will not cause you.

Bugs fixed:

• [Bug MC-8881] – Mobs treat any layered snow as non-solid
