15w33c[1] is the ninth snapshot released for Java Edition 1.9, which was released to fix some bugs and crashes from 15w33a and 15w33b, along with adding shields and changing some features.

Additions[]

Items[]

Shields
  • New tool used for blocking incoming attacks.
    • Holding right click while being attacked reduces damage on the player and the durability of the shield.
      • This works when the shield is either in the main hand or in the offhand.
        • The player can hold 2 shields at once, but it does not affect the damage taken.
  • Can be combined with banners of the same base color to transfer its pattern.
    • This does not consume the banner.
  • The player cannot attack while blocking.
  • Crafting recipe: One column of wool (of the same color), one column of planks (any kind), an iron ingot in the middle of the last column.
  • Can only be repaired on the anvil.
  • Cannot be enchanted on the enchanting table, but can have Unbreaking added via an enchanted book.

Changes[]

Blocks[]

Brewing stands
Ender crystals
  • New BeamTarget tag for ender crystals.
    • Used to specify a custom target for the beam.
    • Example: /summon EnderCrystal ~ ~1 ~ {BeamTarget:{X:1,Y:2,Z:3}}.

Items[]

Fire charges
  • Now shoot as ender dragon fireballs when ejected from a dispenser, appearing purple and casting dragon's breath.
    • Before this, they had shot as blaze fireballs.
    • This was reverted in 15w44b to shoot as blaze fireballs once again.
Swords
  • Can no longer be used for blocking, since shields now serve that function.

Mobs[]

Ender dragon
Creepers, skeletons, & zombies
  • Detection range for players wearing the corresponding mob head adjusted to be 37.5% of the normal range.

World generation[]

End ships
  • No longer generate with a pumpkin.
  • The middle iron block has been replaced with a hopper.
    • Inside, there is a book written by Searge.
      • It reads: "We will have something else here soon..."

General[]

Pick block
  • Respects the tags of items in item frames while holding Ctrl.
