14w18a is the twentieth snapshot released for Java Edition 1.8.

Changes[]

Blocks[]

Pistons and slime blocks
  • Slime blocks will now push and pull blocks adjacent when connected to sticky pistons.
    • Connected to normal pistons, slime blocks will only push blocks, but not pull them.
    • Up to 12 slime blocks connected to a piston in any arrangement can be moved as long as the following conditions are met: blocks do not disrupt the chain, non-moveable blocks are not in the way or slime blocks are not attached to the piston itself.
    • Follows all the rules that pistons follow, for example, blocks which can normally be moved by pistons can be moved if attached to slime blocks.
  • Extending a piston with a slime block on top of it will launch the entity (mobs, players, items, launched arrows etc) into the air.[1]
Torches
