14w04a is the sixth snapshot for Java Edition 1.8, released on January 23, 2014,[1][2] which adds the /particle command.
14w04a was reuploaded an hour and a half later to fix the server not working.[3]
Additions

- List of particles:
Changes
Blocks
- Prior work cost increase changed from linear (1 per repair) to exponential (times 2 plus 1 per repair).
- Repairing with a "sacrifice" now costs 2 levels rather than only 1.
- Can now be placed on ceiling/floors.
- Now flammable.
- When a furnace runs out of fuel, the smelting progress reverses at twice the normal speed.
- Items in item frames can now be rotated by 45 degrees (eight possible orientations).
- Item frames can give off a signal detected by comparators, based on the item's current orientation.
- Signal strength is as follows: 0: empty; 1: item; 2: item rotated once; 3: item rotated twice; ...; 8: item rotated 7 times.
- Now craftable in a shapeless recipe with one cobblestone and one vine.
Mobs
- Can drop iron ingots again by any means of death.
- Can be spawned with pumpkins + dispenser.
- Can be spawned with pumpkins + dispenser.
- Can be spawned with skulls + dispenser.
- Now harvest, collect and replant grown potatoes, wheat, and carrots.
- They do not have unlimited seeds; seeds must be replenished to replant crops.
- Craft wheat into bread, and drop it to other villagers.
- Can now become willing to breed by consuming food: 3 bread, 12 potatoes or 12 carrots.
- Can drop gold nuggets again by any means of death.
Command format
/fill
- Added the ability to filter block types, as long as the filler block is not a tile entity
- Only if it's used to fill in replace mode with "normal" blocks.
- Syntax:
/fill [x] [y] [z] [x] [y] [z] [BlockName] [Data] replace [filterBlockName] [filterData].
Gameplay
- Looting now gives an extra 1% chance of getting rare loot per level.
- Doors are now added to the closest village.
- This does not break iron farms, but change them a little, enough to make them "practically pointless".[4]
General
- The x coordinate line is now bold when looking east/west, similarly the z coordinate line is now bold when looking south/north.
- The crosshair displays 3 short colored lines to indicate the direction of each axis: x/red, y/green, z/blue.
Rendering & performance
- Only transparent blocks now render as transparent (eliminates the use of x-ray texture packs).
Skin customization
- Now displays the right arm's second layer in first person view.
- Skins and capes are now distributed through servers.
- Skins server outages will occur less frequently and have less impact.
- Server-altered skins/capes are not possible – only signed URLs are stored server-side.
- Skin changes will no longer require client restarting, at worst re-logging will update the skin for everybody.
- Duplicate skins no longer need to be downloaded twice.
- Server traffic will barely be affected.
