Minecraft snapshot 14w26b

Update: Snapshot 14w26b has been released to fix some chunk loading issues.

Wednesday is the new Thursday! We’ve decided that Thursday wasn’t very optimal for us to release snapshots on so we’ve moved the weekly snapshots to Wednesday instead. Adjust your schedules and order a new calendar!

Last weeks snapshot was quite volatile, we’ve been working hard this week on fixing bugs and adding new ones in their place. There may not be many cool features, but this weeks snapshot comes with some optimizations, bug fixes and even more rewrites bringing us closer to the plugin API!

Notable Changes:

• Lots more internal rewrites.
• Many bug fixes and some performance optimizations.
• Added ‘/worldborder add’ command
• Added new world generator for debugging, useful for resourcepack makers (hold shift and cycle through “World Type” to select it. Spectator mode recommended, it may crash otherwise.)
• Blocks no longer talk about you behind your back.

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).
