16w04a[1] is the fifty-first snapshot released for Java Edition 1.9.

Additions[]

Command format[]

General
  • Running "Searge" as the command in a command block (without a preceding "/", also case insensitive) will now set #itzlipofutzli to the previous output.

Gameplay[]

Enchanting
  • Added a sound for taking damage from thorns.
Weather
  • Rain sounds are now more ambient/less loud and sound more realistic.

Changes[]

Blocks[]

Lily pads
  • Bounding box changed again, now 332 block tall and inset 116 from all sides (since 15w49a, was 15256 block tall and only three of the four edges were inset).

Non-mob entities[]

Boats
  • Will now move forward and backwards using the forward and backwards key, and will steer left and right using the left and right keys respectively.
    • The boat will stay in one place when pressing the left and right keys at the same time, but the paddles will be moving.
  • Now faster and stay at a consistent speed, unlike previous snapshots.
  • Now sink when underwater, or within flowing water of any depth.
  • Crafting recipe no longer requires wooden shovel.
  • Riding a boat no longer subjects water-sensitive mobs to being damaged by water, and no longer protects sunlight-sensitive mobs from being damaged by sunlight.
  • The player will now be dismounted onto land if possible.
  • Now break lily pads, instead of passing right through them.
  • Now no longer pick up mobs larger than the boat
Minecarts
  • Players no longer board minecarts when used while crouching.
