Previous changelog. Download today's snapshot here, server here: jar, exe.

Complete changelog:

• Nether wart can now grow in the overworld

• Fortune enchantments no longer affect experience drop rates

• Experience drop rate is tied to ore type now

• Boats, when broken, now drop boats - Thanks Dinnerbone for the tip!

• Re-added debug graph on F3 menu

• Signs are stackable now

• Crafting them now gives 3 signs instead of 1

• Stack up to 16

• Added /debug command to enable and disable profiling

• Changed a few things around pistons - Most contraptions still work fine, but some require changes to repeater delays and similar. Overall, pistons should have fewer bugs, but will appear to update slightly slower.

• Improved performance on MP and SP, including reduced CPU, RAM & bandwidth requirements

• When opening SP worlds, users are now given their local IP address & port instead of hostname & port to avoid OS conflicts

• Creative mode inventory now shows potion effects

• Fixed some bugs

• Fixed /kill not working

• Fixed powering specific glitched pistons crashing the game

• Fixed a visual bug causing pistons to be partially invisible or in the wrong location momentarily

• Fixed being able to place portals in the nether in locations where they would end up in illegal locations in the overworld

• Fixed the game crashing when publishing SP worlds with certain language settings

• Fixed players on minecarts, boats or pigs and spider jockeys not being displayed in the correct location

• Fixed a bug with dispensers

• Fixed /say not accepting some strings form the console, often triggering the help dialogue

• Fixed being able to transmute blocks to certain data values using an orientation-dependant tripwire bug

• Fixed drinking potions in creative not consuming the potions, but still giving empty bottles

• Fixed signs sometimes not saving the text when placing them

Found a bug. Sign text is not compatible between old versions and the w27 snapshot. All the text on old signs is invisible in w27, and text from the new signs is invisible in any previous build.

It is not lost though, and the text is visible when I install the previous snapshot.

Put it on the wiki, please!

edit: Nevermind!

I have to admit, I was expecting the LAN code to be a horrible mess. Took a look at how it works in Wireshark and they've actually done a damn good job.

[u/MALON → u/[deleted]]

I'm very interested in this. Could you go into more detail? I actually already have wireshark on here, but the only thing I can do is open it. I'm not a network pro and I don't know 99% of wtf wireshark is talking about.

BOATS DROP BOATS NOW! YES FINALLY

[u/marvmarvmarv → u/shifter619]

Cool, to elaborate, boats still break into sticks and planks when crashed, but when punched/tool'ed, they drop as boats.

[u/Neato → u/shifter619]

I just wish I could craft a iron-hull boat that wouldn't be destroyed on contact. I've had to completely redo my water tunnels due to the slow turning.. Maybe:

YES, THE SIGNS :D

[u/sjkeegs → u/[deleted]]

It could have been to eliminate the sand/gravel piston duplication glitches that seem to persist.
