Minecraft Snapshot 15w43a

It’s getting colder and colder here in Stockholm, so we’ve built ourselves a little igloo to hold off the incoming frost.

I’d tell you more, but my fingers are freezing off.

Notable changes:

• New structure in the world.
• New “loot table” concept, allows you (or custom map creators) to change the loot inside randomly generated chests, or what mobs drop.
• Improved debug menu.
• Increased the amount of strongholds.
• Realigned the ■■■■■■■
• Some bug fixes & bug unfixes.

Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com. If nobody reports a bug, we can’t fix it!

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.

This also means you can create your own loot tables, and apply them to chests to create your own randomized chests and make mobs have custom drops, basically removing worthless rotten flesh and bones if you hate those. Stuff that would previously have to be done with plugins is now a simpler feature!

 

Its a really good idea with the loot table :)

 

I think it's there to appeal for the HungerGames maps primarily.
