Minecraft snapshot 15w47a

Snapshot. Time. Again. Yay!

Our bug tracker is now the home page in our browsers and we are going to keep it that way until Minecraft 1.9 is ready for release. We want to say “thank you” to everyone who’s reporting bugs and voting on them. And of course we also want to thank our moderators helping us to focus on the important issues, they are doing an awesome job to keep the bugs under control.

Due to some complaints that we were too focused on fixing bugs and not adding more features for 1.9, this weeks snapshot will focus on solving issues instead.
