15w43b is the thirty-fifth snapshot for Java Edition 1.9, released on October 22, 2015[1] to fix an issue with multiplayer from the previous snapshot and to get custom drop tables working, as well as add subtitles.

Additions

General

Subtitles

  • Display sounds for the hard of hearing/deaf.
    • Mobs have individualized subtitles, for example: "Creeper hissing".
    • "<" or ">" points in the direction the sound is coming from.

Changes

Blocks

Water

  • No longer shows the flowing animation when directly adjacent to glass.

Mobs

Elder guardians

  • Drop chances for raw fish or prismarine crystals changed again.
    • Now it's a 50% chance for fish, 33% for crystals, and 16.7% of nothing, with the amount increased by Looting.

Ghasts

Rabbits

  • Drop feet again as a rare drop.
  • Meat drop is no longer affected by Looting.

Skeletons

Wither skeletons

  • Coal drop changed to 0–2 coal, incremented as usual with Looting. This is still an increase over 15w42a.

Zombie pigmen

World generation

Igloos

  • Golden apple is now always present, and no longer disappears if the chunk is unloaded before the chest is opened.
