15w33a Snapshot Ready for Testing!

 

Features are present, though few are currently known. They will be posted as they are discovered! Alright, enough small talk - let's dive into this week's bag of feature-rich goodies!

 

FEATURES

Splash text
  • "More Digital!"
Lingering Potion
  • Thrown like a splash potion.
    • Leaves a bubble of the potion particle
      • While that bubble is there, if a mob/player walks into it, they will get the effect
  • Has all the potion types
    • Even works with potions whose effect are instant, like Harming
  • Brewed with Dragon's Breath and a Splash Potion
    • Because you cannot put a splash potion into the brewing stand, you have to do it differently
      • Make a normal splash potions and don't take them out, then combine them with Dragon's Breath
Dragon's Breath!
  • Found in the brewery section of the creative inventory
  • Can be used to brew Lingering Potions with Dragon's Breath and Splash Potion.
  • Can be obtained by right clicking with a Glass Bottle while the dragon breathes the item.
  • Stacks in the inventory

End Gateway block

  • Changed texture
    • Instead of each side having a texture, creating a weird effect, it is all one texture, not each individual side
Ender Dragon
  • Made the fight harder[2]
    • It now breathes the new Dragon Breath when hovering over the exit portal.
  • The fireballs now act like a lingering potion
    • The fireball will create dragon breath that lingers
  • It is invincible to arrows while at the portal
    • Arrows will bounce back and hold a flame as if they were shot using a bow that has the Flame enchantment
Dispensers
  • When shooting splash/lingering potions, they shoot very far, like throwing a snowball
