Game developer Mojang has recently published "Minecraft's" two new snapshots this week. It was said that these snapshots were actually a preview of the soon-to-be-released "Minecraft" Update 1.9.
The two snapshots have been revealed a day after "Minecraft" developer Jens Bergensten teased avid fans via Twitter on what's coming to the game, a report from iDigital Times said on Friday.
A Reddit page has revealed the game's patch notes for snapshot 15w41a:
"Jeb's secret feature: Wings for gliding
- Animation/Animation
- Wings fold while not gliding - Screenshot
- Cape not displayed while wearing
- "Styled as the cape", dragon wings default (?) texture
- Not craftable, only findable
- Placed in the chestplate slot
Boat improvements
- MCPE-like boats
- Changed how player movement is sent and processed by the server
Fixed some bugs
- Fixed regenerating health while not at a high hunger level
- Fixed high resolution texture pack loading being broken
- Fixed end world generating breaking at large coordinates
- Fixed getting kicked from the server with the console spamming "Netty Epoll Server IO #6/ERROR"
- Fixed multiplayer not working
- Fixed hoppers not sucking up items inside themselves
- Fixed player disconnects with "Netty Epoll Server IO #26/ERROR" when doing large /clone operations
- Fixed tamed cats resetting chunks"
"Minecraft" snapshot 15w41b patch note sourced from another Reddit page:
Fixed some bugs
- Fixed a crash on world load
"Patch notes for Minecraft snapshot 15w41a outline a series of changes to boats, that should make them function more like the boats in Minecraft: Pocket Edition, including changes to how boat movement is processed by Minecraft servers. Minecraft snapshot 15w41a also removes the game's 'riding' tag, replacing it with a 'passenger' designation, to pave the way for a system that lets multiple passengers ride a single entity. A second build, Minecraft snapshot 15w41b, debuted shortly after its predecessor to address a bug that caused the game to crash when loading worlds," the report said.
