Minecraft 1.15, also known as Buzzy Bees, was released earlier this week. Just in time for the holidays! Here are some of the most notable features that it includes. (Sorry, it took us a bit to clean up the split honey).
(News post provided by Geforce)
Bees:
These cute insects live in nests that hang from oak or birch trees and can help you by pollinating crops near their hive. Think of them as flying bonemeal dispensers. However, be careful not to harm them or their nest or you will quickly be swarmed by a mob of angry bees.
Beehives:
These are used to provide a home for bees and to collect honey. After a hive has been filled with honey, simply right-click the hive while holding an empty glass bottle to collect it. Nearby bees will try to attack players stealing their food, but having a campfire close by will keep them at bay.
Honey Blocks:
When a honey block is moved by a sticky piston, it also pulls any adjacent blocks with it. If a player is standing on the honey block as it is pulled, they also go along for the ride. This unique property of honey blocks could open the door for new types of redstone creations. Players can also slide down the sides of them to slow their descent and prevent fall damage.
Iron Golems:
Golems now begin to disintegrate after taking a lot of damage, but not to worry! You can use iron ingots to heal them right back up to full health.
Consistency between editions:
Don't like the gameplay differences between Java Edition and Bedrock? They are now gone! Boats can now be used to smelt six items and naturally spawning mobs now have a chance to breed on their own, among other changes.
Obfuscation maps:
All future updates to Java Edition will now have their corresponding obfuscation map be available to modders for research purposes. This should help to speed up the time it takes for mods to be updated to new versions.
Bugfixes:
Buzzy Bees also focused on fixing many of the bugs present in older versions of the game. Now Minecraft will be less buggy - except for bees!
Many other small tweaks and improvements were also included in Buzzy Bees. To see the full changelog, visit the news article on https://minecraft.net
Minecraft needed an update like this, I'm not sure if it will be stable enough already, I mean people can now make stable servers on this version, but probably there will be (heh... BEE) still big bugs (like bees! I had to make this joke...) so I think the final 1.15.x version won't be 1.15.2 or 1.15.4, it can be like in 1.7.10, Mojang needs a lot of versions to fix unnoticed bugs, especially about the new rendering engine. So in my opinion, the development of this version was too fast, but that's good, because community can find more bugs than Mojang themselves. I wonder if it'll be (again... BEE) 1.15.10 or a smaller number? btw I'm gonna start modding the final 1.15.x version once it's out (and once I learn Java... I'm lazy).
An alternative feather option for crafting arrows would be appreciated. #VEGAN alternatives
I agree with you! I am doing a “Vegan Challenge” on Twitch on Tuesday, where I will try to beat the game on Hardcore Mode without eating meat, fish, spider eyes, fermented spider eyes, rotten flesh, honey, or cake, drinking milk, or using items from non-hostile mobs, including all of the new stuff from 1.15! This also includes potions that are made using spider eyes (including fermented spider eyes) or pufferfish. I will play 1.15 on my Twitch channel on Wednesday though! It may actually be the Wednesday after Christmas, because I am going to an “ugly sweater” event this Wednesday, and next Wednesday is Christmas Day!
One of the mods in Bug Tracker Said that this update has some re-balancing done with performance, to better share resources with FPS and with chunk loading.
so ye, you will experience lag and slow loading chunks.
Chunk loading is actually pretty snappy, and as long as you don't play on a potato and have your settings correct for your hardware
My pc is Powerful enough to play Call of duty Modern warfare.
Comparing Call of Duty and Minecraft is like comparing apples and oranges!
Lol
Well I'll be! Iron golems at long last can be healed without potions. I've been waiting for such a feature for years!
Same hahaha, Minecraft is slowly becoming more slightly realistic. cuz, how can you even cure an Iron golem if its composition is Iron and a Lifeless Jack-o-Lantern. so ye.
1.15, the filler update with less content than 1.10 claps
ever since the minecraft 1.15 update, when ever i load up my minecraft bedrock edition for xbox one, it doesnt get past the first loading screen so ive not been able to play for about 6 days. can anyone help me out? it would be appreciated
That's because 1.15 is NOT a content update. Funny how that works eh?
Thank you, Flanigomik! *BEES*. We got 'em. *BUGS*… we've got less of 'em. Much needed polish on the "lots of content, but more bugs than a bait store" 1.14. As much as I love the development of villagers and the much needed refresh to villages... 1.14 was a *turd* release. So I appreciate the clean-up work on 1.15.
Has anyone done any significant mods with this update?
Minecraft should add a mob head for every single mob so people can try to collect them all
I love that idea!! I hope to see this update I the future!! The update could be called the head update
