General
aviateOneCm: Tracks the distance a player has glided using elytra.
Changes
Blocks
Activator rails & powered rails
- No longer transmit power to each other.
- Now drops any contained item when exiting the GUI.
- No longer accepts items from hoppers.
PaymentItemtag removed.
- Breaks if lava is adjacent.
- Cactus on sand breaks if water or lava is in the block above.
- Now catches snowballs, eggs, thrown potions, XP bottles, and ender pearls, causing the item form of the projectile to be dropped.
- Removed in 15w49b.
- Hitbox now changes as the plant grows.
- Are now placed facing left/right depending on which half of the block the player clicks on, unless neighboring doors cause them to place a certain way.
- Increased damage when flying into a wall.
- Now require air or replaceable blocks in the two blocks above the block it's being placed on.
- Can no longer be placed to intersect other entities.
- Chance of going out in rain increased by 20 percentage points (now 20% + 3 percentage points per age).
- The
lit_furnaceblock is no longer available as an item.
- Bounding box changed, now 15/256 high (from 1/16) and inset from three edges of the block by 1/16.
- Unextended pistons, downward-facing pistons, and upward-facing piston extensions are now considered to have a solid top surface, like upside-down stairs and top-half slabs.
- Among other things, this means mobs can now spawn on them.
- Removed the distinction between "suspended" and "non-suspended": formerly, tripwire would work only if the whole stretch and both hooks were all above solid blocks or all not above solid blocks.
- Now appears in the Redstone tab of the Creative inventory instead of Decoration Blocks.
Items
- Melons and glistering melons are now oriented the same way (removed in 15w49b).
Mobs
General
- Improved pathfinding
- Knockback no longer changes the Y-axis speed of flying and falling mobs.
Cave spiders, endermites, magma cubes, silverfish, slimes, spiders, wither skeletons, zombies, zombie pigmen
- Now fight back when hit by other mobs.
- Can no longer ride anything.
- Can no longer have status effects.
- Can no longer pick blocks from behind walls.

- Using shears on a snow golem removes the pumpkin head (and removes 1 durability from the shears).
- The pumpkin is not dropped.
- No longer teleports through Nether portals or End portals.
Non-mob entities
Arrow entity
- Now take the thrower's motion into account. For example, an arrow fired forward by a player in a speeding minecart flies faster relative to the ground, an arrow fired backward flies slower, and an arrow fired sideways has motion in the direction of minecart travel.
- Arrows that bounce off a target (e.g. a shield or a sitting dragon) and may be retrieved become dropped items if near zero momentum after being bounced.
Bottles o' enchanting, eggs, ender pearls, snowballs, thrown potions
- No longer collide with non-opaque blocks.
- Are "caught" and converted to the item form by cobwebs.
- Now take the thrower's motion into account. For example, an arrow fired forward by a player in a speeding minecart flies faster relative to the ground, an arrow fired backward fly slower, and an arrow fired sideways has motion in the direction of minecart travel.
SmallFireball entity
- No longer damages (or angers) fire-immune entities.
World generation
- In the 0.0000000001% chance that all 12 frame blocks generate with eyes already present, the portal is immediately activated.
- This means once again, it is possible to access the End without going to the Nether.
Command format
- Now auto-completes itself when pressing Tab ↹.
- Now has an optional
playerparameter to specify which players can see the particle when inside the range. When left out, everyone in range can see the particles.- Also added a
paramsparameter to specify particle parameters (for iconcrack_, …).
- Also added a
Sound events
- Renamed
entity.arrow.successful_hittoentity.arrow.hit_player.
Gameplay
- Sweep attacks now do 1HP damage to mobs affected by the knockback.

- Nausea effect now stops instantly when cleared using milk or with commands.
