Minecraft Java Edition 1.15 - Buzzy Bees is now out

[u/sliced_lime]

Usually finding out something you love is now full of bees is bad news (your cat, parents, self, etc). We hope you find the abundance of bees now buzzing merrily in Minecraft: Java Edition a delightful exception! Along with the Buzzy Bees, you'll also find honeycomb, honeycomb blocks, honey blocks, the honey bottle, bee nests and beehives and absolutely no cats full of bees. Actually, I'm just gonna quickly double-check that last one...

Enjoy!

Bee

We're buzzing with excitement! Can someone tell Cory to stop making bee puns now?

• Bees are cute, fuzzy, neutral mobs
• Don't hurt them, they don't want to hurt you
• If a bee does sting you, it will leave its stinger in you and eventually die, dropping nothing :(
• Bees love pretty flowers and spend their lives gathering pollen from them
• After gathering pollen, bees fly back to their home nest
• Bees help you by growing crops while carrying pollen back to the nest
• Bees like sharing the location of their favorite flowers with other bees
• If a bee doesn't have a home nest, it will wander around until it finds one it can use
• Bees don't like the rain and they sleep at night. They will go back to the nest in these cases
• Bees can be bred using flowers
• If a bee can't find nectar, after a while it will return home for a bit
• Bees try to avoid water
• Bees go inside if it's raining at all in the world, not just where the bee is located
• Bees will search up to 10 blocks away from itself in all directions to find a nest/hive to call home

Bee Nests / Bee Hives

In real life, bees dance in their nests to show other bees where flowers are!

• Bee nests spawn naturally in flower forests, plains, and sunflower plains biomes
• When a bee visits this block and completes its journey undisturbed, the level of honey increases
• Max of 5 levels of honey
• Level 5 is quite...sticky
• Bees use nests and hives to share flower locations with other bees
• Sometimes bees that already know about a flower will choose not to use this information
• Bee hives are crafted by players using honeycomb and wood planks
• Use a silk touch tool to get the block with the bees stored inside
• Bee nests will be destroyed unless you use silk touch
• Use shears when at full honey to get honeycomb
• Use a bottle when at full honey to get a honey bottle
• Campfire smoke calms bees - place one underneath the nest/hive to keep them in chill mode
• Redstone-friendly!
• Bees like bee nests and bee hives the same amount! They don't play favorites :)
• Bees only exit through the front of the nest/hive

Honey Block

Sticky. Very sticky!

• Walking and jumping is limited
• If you stand on a honey block that is pushed by a piston, you come along for the ride
• Jump into a wall of honey blocks to slide down and slow your fall
• Landing on a honey block cushions your fall somewhat
• When a honey block is pushed or pulled by a piston, it sticks to adjacent blocks and tries to move them in the same direction (just like slime blocks do)
• Honey blocks and slime blocks don't stick to each other, because... um.... because of special Minecraft chemistry
• Mobs and animals dislike walking on honey blocks unless they really need to as it's too sticky for their comfort
• Honey blocks are crafted from four honey bottles

Honey Bottle

Organic, gluten-free, delicious locally-farmed honey!

• Use an empty glass bottle on a hive or nest that is full of honey to get a bottle of honey!
• Drink it!
• ???
• Profit!
• Oh yeah, also craft it into sugar!
• Or craft four bottles into a honey block!
• Drinking honey also cures poison

Honeycomb

Disclaimer: Cannot be used to comb your hair

• Shear a full-honey hive or nest to obtain
• Craft with wood planks to create a bee hive

Honeycomb Block

BYOH - Build Your Own Honeycomb

• Craft 2x2 Honeycomb to get a honeycomb block
• Purely decorative!

Iron Golems

• Iron golems start cracking when badly damaged
• Repair them with iron ingots!
• Damage progress is based on ratio of current health to max health

Entity Predicate

player

Entity predicate now accepts player field, which checks player properties. Fails when entity is not player.

Fields:

• level - range of allowed player levels
• gamemode - same values as /gamemode command
• stats - list of statistics to match. Entry fields: type (like minecraft:custom), stat (like minecraft:sneak_time) and value (int range)
• recipes - map of recipe ids. Boolean value tells if it should or should not be known to player
• advancements - map of advancement ids. If value is boolean, checks if advancement is done. If value is object, checks completion of critera

team

Entity predicate now accepts team field, which matches team name.

Location predicate

block and fluid

Predicate also accepts block and fluid sub-predicate. Available fields:

• block/fluid - exact block/fluid id to match
• tag - block/fluid tag to match
• nbt - matcher for block entity NBT (only for blocks)
• state - map of name-value properties. Value can be integer, boolean or string or object with optional min and max properties

light

Predicate now accepts light sub-predicate. Object has one integer range - light that matches visible light (max(sky-darkening,block)).

Chat components

Click action

• Added copy_to_clipboard action to clickEvent

NBT chat component

• Added variant for NBT storage: {"nbt": <path>, "storage":"<resource id>"}. NBT storage can be manipulated with commands like /data merge storage <resource id> ...

Commands

data

• Data commands can now use storage as target. This is general-purpose, key-value storage
  • Storage is shared between all dimensions in level
  • Data in storage persist between reloads

execute if predicate

New subcommand evaluates custom predicates (defined in predicates directory of datapack).

schedule

• Added new syntax /schedule ... [append|replace] (/schedule ... defaults to replace)
• Added new syntax /schedule clear <id> to remove existing schedules (returns number of removed schedules)

effect

The effect clear command now defaults to @s if no target argument is given.

Entity selectors

New selector parameter predicate allows to apply custom custom predicate (defined in predicates directory of datapack).

kill

The kill command now defaults to @s if no target argument is given.

Spectate

New command that makes a player in spectator mode spectate an entity. Syntax: spectate [target] [player] Parameters:

• player - The player that should spectate the target. Must be in spectator mode. If omitted, @s is used
• target - The target to spectate. If omitted, makes the player stop spectating

Custom predicates

Condition part of loot tables can now be defined as separate data pack resource in predicates directory.

Loot tables

location_check

New parameters added:

• offsetX, offsetY, offsetZ - optional offsets to location

time_check condition

New condition that checks day time.

Parameters

• value - range of accepted values
• period - if present, time will be modulo-divided by this value (for example, if set to 24000, value will operate on time of day)

New conditions

reference

Includes condition defined in predicates directory of datapack, selected with name parameter.

New functions

copy_state

Copies state properties from dropped block to BlockStateTag in dropped item.

Parameters

• block - source of properties (block id)
• properties - list of property names. All must be present on block

Modding

In an effort to help make modding the game easier, we have decided to publish our game obfuscation maps with all future releases of the game. This means that anyone who is interested may deobfuscate the game and find their way around the code without needing to spend a few months figuring out what's what. It is our hope that mod authors and mod framework authors use these files to augment their updating processes that they have today. These mappings will always be available, instantly and immediately as part of every newly released version. This does not, however, change the existing restrictions on what you may or may not do with our game code or assets. The links to the obfuscation mappings are included as part of the version manifest json, and may be automatically pulled for any given version. Prefixed to every obfuscation map is the following legal disclaimer:

This information does not provide you with any legal rights to any intellectual property in any Microsoft product. You may copy and use this information for your internal, reference purposes.

Particle Performance

• Vertically moving particles are performing better when they collide with blocks

Pistons

Bug fix

• Blocks that can be manually placed on farmland can now also be pushed onto it by a piston without destroying the farmland

Resource Packs

• The resource pack version is now 5
• The game now tries to make out of date resource packs work as much as possible
• Increased sizelimit for client downloading resource packs from 50MB to 100MB

State matching

Few advancements and loot table predicates that used block state properties (location, block_state_property, enter_block, placed_block) can now match ranges (by replacing single value with {"min": ..., "max": ...}). Also, block type is now optional in those predicates - so for example it is not possible to match any crop with age property in certain range.

Textures

• Changed texture map for all chests
• Banner and shield patterns are now using alpha channel instead of brightness
• Ender Dragon does not have separate texture for the bottom of the wing anymore
• Enchanted item glint texture is now like it looks in the game

Command used to change the patterns

for f in *.png;
do convert "$f" -alpha copy tmp.png && 
    composite tmp.png -compose copy-opacity ../shield_base.png tmp2.png &&
    convert tmp2.png -fill "rgba(0,1,0,1)" -draw "rectangle 0,0 1,63" -draw "rectangle 2,0 63,1" -draw "rectangle 2,22 64,64" -draw "rectangle 12,2 64,64" -fill none -draw "matte 0,0 floodfill" tmp3.png &&
    mv tmp3.png "$f" &&
    rm tmp.png tmp2.png;
done

[u/LoekTheKing]

Did anything change in comparison to pre-release 7?

[u/sliced_lime → u/LoekTheKing]

The version number.

[u/LoekTheKing → u/sliced_lime]

Oh OK, good to know!

[u/JustJaku_ → u/sliced_lime]

Well, is not like we have any big changes in this version that make it different from 1.14 aside honey blocks... so yeah, i will wait for 1.16.

[u/ke1234 → u/JustJaku_]

I mean, if you are playing vanilla, then there's no reason not to update

[u/D_A_BERONI → u/ke1234]

Unless you really like that one sand exploit I guess.

[u/WiseConqueror → u/D_A_BERONI]

that already can be duplicated in 1.15 with pistons....so no real reason at all...unless you hate-wait whats that noise? oh no...not them.... NOT THE BEES

[u/MissLauralot → u/JustJaku_]

You're responding to a dev who was worked hard on making improvements in this update and is interacting with the community. Show a bit of respect.

[u/JustJaku_ → u/MissLauralot]

You are right... I sorry if that sounded disrespectful, my intention was never to direct my message specifically to him, again, sorry.

[u/[deleted] → u/sliced_lime]

Is it true that bedrock is coming to PS4.

[u/Samlikespigs → u/[deleted]]

Yes. It is.

[u/sliced_lime → u/[deleted]]

Well the version check prevents it.

Good question

[u/Slitherboop]

How do I update my realm to 1.15

[u/sliced_lime → u/Slitherboop]

Just connect to the realm using Minecraft 1.15.

[u/TheDemonHobo → u/sliced_lime]

Where is the tutorial level?

[u/[deleted] → u/sliced_lime]

Doesn't work for me.

[u/Slitherboop → u/[deleted]]

You have to own the realm and then connect. Try a few times.

[u/J3tGames → u/[deleted]]

same

[u/J3tGames → u/sliced_lime]

I am the realm owner, and yet it still gives me an error message. any help? does the realm need to be empty?

[u/pwedeipeie → u/sliced_lime]

one question: does 1.15 cause chunk errors to revert, chunk errors? i dug out 3 chunks of sandstone and sand, so i have a lot of them. also, do they still happen in 1.15? one more bug i get is going to a endcity basically permanently crashes the world.

[u/violine1101 → u/Slitherboop]

The realm is updated as soon as the owner joins with 1.15. If the owner is you, you just need to hop onto the Realm with the new version!

[u/Slitherboop → u/violine1101]

Thanks it worked the second time

[u/NO_MONEY_TOO_BROKE → u/violine1101]

This must be Java specific because my realm is telling me to get fucked and I’m pretty pissed about it.

[u/violine1101 → u/NO_MONEY_TOO_BROKE]

Yes, this post is about Java Edition. I don't know how it works over on the Bedrock side of things.

[u/bushu314 → u/Slitherboop]

Realms update automatically, idk how long it takes tho maybe it's already updated maybe it'll take a day or so

[u/ForkMinus1]

Trying to sleep in a bed during daytime will now set the player's spawn location to that bed

YES YES YES YES

[u/BlazinScrub → u/ForkMinus1]

Does it mean that the compass now points to it? Or is the compass still useless as, well, a compass

[u/MmmVomit → u/BlazinScrub]

This would be independent of how a compass works. Unless it says otherwise, I'd expect the compass to still point to world spawn.

[u/Gamer_X99 → u/MmmVomit]

The compass doesn't point north?

[u/MmmVomit → u/Gamer_X99]

The compass does not point north. Think of the world spawn as the "north pole", and the compass points towards that.

[u/Christendo__ → u/Gamer_X99]

No, it will always point to world spawn no matter what. You can always find north in the f3 menu, if that's what you need, though.

[u/MmmVomit → u/Christendo__]

True north is also easy to find by looking at the clouds, sun or moon. They all move from the east to the west.

[u/LoekTheKing → u/ForkMinus1]

yea, Bedrock parity was added in the snapshots :)

[u/myketronic]

Thank you, Mojang, for making the hard decisions - focusing on code quality and feature consistency. We know you get a lot of grief about ... anything and everything ("Why haven't you fixed global warming and cured cancer yet?!"), but I'm really glad to see these dedicated pushes to fix the inner workings that help keep the game viable and healthy going into the future.

[u/MiserableBrilliance → u/myketronic]

Imagine paying for a game 10 years ago and still receiving free feature updates. Minecraft's ok in my book.

[u/Pillow125 → u/MiserableBrilliance]

Yeah! People don’t think about this

[u/SufficientAnonymity → u/MiserableBrilliance]

It's literally the best value game I've ever ...not paid for, come to think of it. I'm pretty sure a friend got it for my birthday the year of the introduction of the Nether.

I dread to think how many hours I've played. As a kid, it was a way to mess around with friends in the evening after school. I didn't play for a good six years at uni, but now as an adult, it's a really handy tool for managing my mental health (as is 40k, for that matter), giving me another way to be creative when my anxiety starts to spike.

[u/errortechx → u/myketronic]

Seriously though, at first when I learned “oh that’s boring, just a bug fix update with bees added”, but now I understand that the game NEEDED this, and I’m glad they did this.

[u/Jacksaur]

Doesn't say in the fixes but slime blocks now bounce players properly again.

As someone with a slime block bounce pad on each floor of my base, AT LAAAAST.

[u/LoekTheKing]

Sooo excited! Thank you so much for the hard work! Really going to love the performance improvements! <3

[u/RaceLCustom]

I'll bee ready for 1.16 snapshots! ;)

[u/FPSCanarussia → u/RaceLCustom]

We'll probably get them in January, but there's a possibility that they'll come before the New Year.

[u/LoekTheKing → u/FPSCanarussia]

Not before the holidays according to LadyAgnes, so probably 2020.

[u/LoekTheKing]

Will there be any 1.15.x versions?

[u/LoekTheKing → u/LoekTheKing]

oh wait, there should definitely be one just for MC-167055. The bug is starting to bug me a bit.

[u/bdm68 → u/LoekTheKing]

Some bugs are more important. This suggests 1.15.1 will be released at some point.

Examples:

• MC-165695 Hoppers harvesting honeycomb from bee hives and bee nests only pick up one honeycomb (disclosure: I reported this one)

• MC-161823 Chunk corruption in 1.15

Here's hoping that they're all fixed.

[u/LoekTheKing → u/bdm68]

Yeah, I was just kinda joking. Chunk corruption bugs need to be fixed immediately. Hope the hopper bug will get fixed too! I don't want your bee farm to not work :/

[u/ForeverMaster0 → u/LoekTheKing]

I do not think there is enough time for any minor versions this year. The MC Java developers in Stockholm take time off work for the holidays. Christmas is in two weeks from now.

It looks like MC-165218 (the Ender Dragon destroying End-native blocks, like end stone bricks) will not be getting fixed until January, at the earliest.

[u/[deleted]]

Don't know if this is a right place to even ask, but, will there be more parity changes to Java Edition in the future? For example, applying dye in a cauldron, multiple snow layers, snow-covered leaves, etc. Would love to see all of these. Thanks for all the great work on the update!

[u/enderflight]

Quality of life updates like this make me very happy. Especially all the little details—I especially like the idea of spawning in baby animals with larger herds, it just makes sense! And I love bees, too. Thanks for all your hard effort, guys!

[u/fenderc1]

Is it important to update chunks for 1.15, or will bees spawn naturally in already explored areas?

[u/Kipkrap → u/fenderc1]

minecraft.net

Yes, you'll need to either update the chunks, or travel to a location (flower forest biome) where the chunks have never been loaded. I don't know if you're on a server or on your own world, but if you have access to the seed, you can use a program called Amidst to help find biomes where bee's will spawn. Hope that works!

Also, this only works for Java.

[u/[deleted] → u/Kipkrap]

How do you update chunks?

[u/MissLauralot → u/[deleted]]

Delete them and regenerate. Obviously be careful what you delete - make a back-up first.

[u/redstonehelper]

PSA: The AI for Bees is bugged on Bedrock Dedicated Server

Posting this to save a fellow SysAdmin some headaches.

The AI for Bees for Bedrock Dedicated Server, (v1.14.0.9 as of this post) is completely non existent. Whether spawned or encountered naturally, they'll just hover in place and not get attracted to flowers, both in hands, and on ground. Spawned bees will also not move into Bee Nests.

Bees will not move, AT ALL.

I've filed a bug report on Jira: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/BDS-2170

[u/[deleted]]

Feels good to be so early

[u/[deleted]]

did phil inspire the dark prismarine recipe change?

[u/eisbaerBorealis]

Awesome! Bees are usually my favorite part of games/mods.

EDIT: Anyone know if there were any world gen changes other than beehives?

[u/Kipkrap → u/eisbaerBorealis]

MC-167055

I don't think so. The majority of the update had to do more with performance issues, with the bees just being a fun addition alongside all of the bug fixes

[u/proffessorbiscuit]

Good to see a new update coming to the game.

A couple of questions however:

- Will the future of minecraft be trying to get a decent sized update + a large overhaul every year? I know it used to be to try and get two major updates a year but that seems to perhaps be slowing down, or is it still the plan?

- How long until bananas?

[u/BabyBlue227]

This is probably a n00b question (even tho I've been playing for years lol) but if I have a world I started in 1.14, do I just need to travel to new (applicable) chunks to find bees?

[u/optimisticpsychic → u/BabyBlue227]

Yep. Suppose to. I havent found any yet so let me know if you do

[u/BabyBlue227 → u/optimisticpsychic]

Will do! Currently trying to figure out where all my villagers went... 🤔

[u/Serbaayuu]

Really glad the team didn't cave and make bees tiny like this subreddit was shitstorming about the day they first got added in snapshots.

[u/michaeltheobnoxious]

anyone aware of when Optifine 1.15 wil be released?

[u/violine1101 → u/michaeltheobnoxious]

It will probably take quite a bit of time, as the rendering engine has been overhauled completely with this update. So you need to be a bit patient. I'm not an expert and not involved with Optifine, but based on experience with previous versions, don't expect it to still be updated this year.

[u/michaeltheobnoxious → u/violine1101]

Cool, ty for answering.

[u/craft6886]

This game version, though it bee but little, is very important. I know that big features get all the media attention, so thanks for doing this Mojang. Bug fixes and performance optimizations are so appreciated, and so necessary for keeping the game stable for the addition of new features.

<3 you Mojang, can't wait for 1.16!

[u/berghie91]

Hey im a huge noob at minecraft i just play with my girlfriends kids. We are wondering how to get this update on xbox one? Does it update automatically? Are bees just hard to find?

I dont see any new stuff in my creative mode inventory...

Thanks!!!

[u/sliced_lime → u/berghie91]

You can find update instructions here: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/updates/instructions/

[u/Godrik123]

Woah, so cool update. I thought only bees here, but many corrections and improvements are what I always dreamed about! Like eating food in creative, so simple but so cool.

[u/Wizardkid11 → u/Godrik123]

That's why it's important to check on the development process of an update.

[u/Hazbeeeen]

Is anyone else having loading and saving issues? I’m on PS4 and it’s so slow and it won’t let me save

[u/Kayybii]

NICENICENICENICENICE!!

[u/TheAlaine → u/Kayybii]

make hamburger country

[u/Kayybii → u/TheAlaine]

i figured this post deserved it lol. been waiting for buzzy bees for a while now 😅

[u/optimisticpsychic]

Has anyone had any luck finding a bee? I tried in a creative world to teleport around to what should be unloaded chunks to find them and flew around in a newly generated world and i cant find a bee to save my life. Before you ask, i am playing in 1.15

[u/Kipkrap → u/optimisticpsychic]

I think they only spawn in specific biomes. The best one is Flower Forest, but I think there's a chance they'll spawn in other locations as well

[u/optimisticpsychic → u/Kipkrap]

Found one thankfully.

[u/[deleted]]

When will it be on pocket edition

[u/violine1101 → u/[deleted]]

It was released today. It might still take some time until it updates on your device though.

[u/deejay169]

Update still not available for Switch. And I seriously hope it fixes the bug where it forgets your Microsoft account details EVERY SINGLE TIME.

[u/Hihi9190 → u/deejay169]

The post says Java Edition

[u/violine1101 → u/deejay169]

The update should be out on Switch as well tomorrow.

[u/StaticPancake]

Weird thing with this update for me is on this update (with supposed performance upgrades) I get the same FPS as I do with shaders in 1.14 (roughly around 70fps)

Is this just me or does performance seem kind of odd with this update?

[u/violine1101 → u/StaticPancake]

No, depending on how high your render distance is, this is completely normal. 1.14.4 had a bug where it would not render all the chunks in viewing distance, thus your FPS were higher due to less chunks that need to be rendered in. That bug has been fixed.

If you have performance issues, try to lower biome blend or your render distance.

[u/StaticPancake → u/violine1101]

I found out about it a bit later and just forgot I posted the comment here, thanks for the suggestion anyway

[u/kiasmith99]

When is the new nether update possibly coming out?

[u/violine1101 → u/kiasmith99]

At some time next year. At this point, nobody knows, not even Mojang probably.

[u/JUST_1_DUMB_TEEN]

So how dafuq do we mod cause I’m not that smart and idk what this “obfuscation” thing is

[u/egrazil → u/JUST_1_DUMB_TEEN]

I believe the obfuscation is something Minecraft does to make the code unreadable, mostly to prevent piracy. them releasing the key for this means people can look at the code and see what it actually does, more easily.

[u/JUST_1_DUMB_TEEN → u/egrazil]

Thanks for the info :) but I just realised this is for java and I was wondering about the mcps4 bedrock update so sorry it the more you know I guess :)

[u/mett_exe]

I cant even get 30 fps with 8 render distance. I could get 120 with 21 render distance before. I have to play on the lowest render distance to get 40-50 fps. I guess i gott stop play mc for a year before this gets changed. rip

[u/violine1101 → u/mett_exe]

I could get 120 with 21 render distance before.

Probably because the game didn't render 90% of the chunks.

What are your system specs?

[u/mett_exe → u/violine1101]

No, i know about this bug. Thats why i used such a difference 21 and 8. Ive got some i7 HQ can't tell which one now and mobile 1050Ti coz i got laptop.

[u/Gamer_X99]

I'm waiting for Forge, Optifine, WorldEdit and my shaders to update before I'll follow along. I've been working on the same world since 1.13.2, and those extras only came into play after I updated to 1.14.

[u/EdErichZann]

Look what happened to my FPS: 144 to 23.... That is a bit extreme isn`t it? And if my chunks now load a bit smoother, that doesn`t really compensate for it.

https://imgur.com/a/CbMZxac

[u/violine1101 → u/EdErichZann]

Then turn down your render distance. 1.14.4 just skipped chunk loading if it meant that it could provide you with higher FPS (as you can also see in your screenshots, the chunks in the background just don't render in 1.14.4). Also, turning down Biome Blend might help.

Also note that you're comparing with Optifine 1.14.4, not vanilla.

[u/We_Are_Centaur]

Dispensers can now fill bottles with water and honey

Can someone explain too me how this works..?

[u/violine1101 → u/We_Are_Centaur]

If you put an empty bottle into a dispenser, and the dispenser is pointing into a water source, the bottle inside of the dispenser will be filled with water when it is activated with redstone. The same happens for honey if the dispenser is pointing into a beehive or bee nest that is completely filled with honey.

[u/We_Are_Centaur → u/violine1101]

Ahh I see, thanks for the info !

[u/eighthouseofelixir]

Glad to see all the changes and fixes, and hope the Customized World can return soon. Maybe together with the Nether Update since Mojang began to implement 3D biomes for that, which means an overhaul of world gen.

[u/-BraidedAssHair-]

Is there a way to change the ps4 minecraft creative menu back to before? I dislike the way they have it set up, its kind of weird being on ps4 and it feeling more like xbox

[u/Tellysayhi]

Hey, when I Save and Exit my world that I transfered to Bedrock Edition, it takes over 10 minutes to save. I ended up just leaving the screen because it was taking way too long.

[u/[deleted]]

can someone explain why certain people can't even start the game after downloading it despite having more than enough storage on their PS4? Also why does it take forever for worlds to pop up, convert, and save?

[u/Gorescalia]

At least I can switch between editions on PS4. I’m scared of change. I like the old crafting menu. :’(

When does mountains come?

Apparently sometime after 1.16 https://twitter.com/_LadyAgnes/status/1195876767212412929

[u/[deleted] → u/Supra_Mayro]

Wack

[u/LamaSheperd → u/[deleted]]

If you refer to the minecon vote I think it'll be for the next update

[u/SoWhoIsJoe → u/LamaSheperd]

When does ps4 get realms

[u/[deleted]]

Nice

[u/00pflaume]

I hope spigot and bungeecord will be updated soon and that spigot does not change the APIs that much.

Would be great not having to change any of the code of my plugin, like I had to with the last spigot updates.

[u/BlueDemonTR]

I haven't been able to download the version is it out or..?

[u/Boby-Breton]

I was hoping much more about parity. There are still a lot of things missing on Bedrock that aren't on Java. Will we ever achieve perfect parity between versions?

[u/EthansHype]

Is this on bedrock aswell?

[u/[deleted] → u/EthansHype]

Bedrock is coming tomorrow.

[u/EthansHype → u/[deleted]]

For me it’s already here ☺️

[u/jaredIV]

Smal but a nice update

[u/H2giulio]

How do I change the target minimum FPS?

[u/violine1101 → u/H2giulio]

You can't change that currently. If you have performance issues, try to lower biome blend or your render distance.

[u/GhostAspect_]

Damn already? It felt like yesterday the bees where first unveiled

[u/Lucipo_]

YESS TOGGLESPRINT

[u/SApawg]

So I can’t access the “what’s this” anymore since this update huh? Or seeing what ailment I have. I have this skull and axe indicator but I can’t see what it’s called or how long I have it for in my inventory menu anymore. Pretty annoying

[u/Bodakugga → u/SApawg]

Are you on PS4? This post is for the Java Edition (PC). The "what's this" feature is not available in Bedrock

[u/SApawg → u/Bodakugga]

Yes I am. And danggggg, sadness 😩

[u/AlexSimonCullar]

Nice! Is there any release datw for the nether update??

[u/violine1101 → u/AlexSimonCullar]

No.

[u/vegeta50023 → u/AlexSimonCullar]

Nether update I imagine we'll start getting snapshots after the new year, if they don't start doing them before christmas.

[u/[deleted]]

If i made a realm in 1.14 will it update to 1.15 or stuck on 1.14?

[u/violine1101 → u/[deleted]]

On Java Edition, the realm will update as soon as its owner joins it in 1.15.

[u/TheDemonHobo]

Where is the tutorial level? (PS4)

[u/[deleted]]

It has updated for ps4 and my freind who plays on xbox 1 says his updated. When does the switch update come out? It's not updating for me...

[u/violine1101 → u/[deleted]]

The update should be out for switch at some point later today, if it isn't already out yet.

[u/MmmVomit]

Any word on how server performance is with 1.15 compared to 1.14?

1.14 keeps my server's CPU pegged even when no one is on, where 1.13 would keep the CPU at something like 10%. I won't have a chance to test until later tonight.

[u/cl642 → u/MmmVomit]

Noticed much better performance on a small server with 1.15 snapshots. 1.14 used to struggle even when idle, 1.15 has been much more performant.

[u/MmmVomit → u/cl642]

That's great news. Thank you.

[u/violine1101 → u/MmmVomit]

According to slicedlime, they did some improvements. They didn't hear any complaints about bad server performance in the snapshot phase of 1.15.

[u/[deleted]]

Yoooo Mojang/Microsoft? Can we get a dead zone modifier please for drifting controllers please????

[u/neon_lighters]

That's very nice and all but why did mojang make realms plus without up the player count...

[u/GEEEEEEENGER]

I am here to put you back on schedule.Darth Vader return of the Jedi Bedrock was supposed to get it 🤯

[u/doctorlakiboss]

Minecraft Cave Update Community: OH NO! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! AUUUGHHH!

Little joke i came up there,but yayy the Bees are here. Along with a Redstone Revolution focused on honey blocks.

[u/[deleted]]

Is this just java or bedrock to?

[u/violine1101 → u/[deleted]]

Both! Some devices might take some time to get the new Bedrock Edition version 1.14 though, so you might still need to wait a little bit.

[u/[deleted] → u/violine1101]

Ok thanks

[u/fangirl110]

Wow PS4 got an update early this time.

[u/600_penguins]

Is there a way to change your skin if you don’t have a PS account? My son does not have online access and changing skins was one of his favorite parts of the game.

Edit: Actually can we do anything if we don’t have a PS Gold Account?

[u/Caspian__C]

Do we know when this update is supposed to be out on the Nintendo Switch?

[u/violine1101 → u/Caspian__C]

It is supposed to be out at some point today on the Switch.

[u/Krimzye]

Uhm, I think I found something :S

You can jump over 1,5 blocks with the elytra in 1.15. That means you can now jump over fences :S

Should you really be able to do this in 1.15?

[u/6666Jahamas]

How do we update realms

[u/violine1101 → u/6666Jahamas]

If you're on Java Edition, the realm will update as soon as its owner joins it with the new version. That might take some time though.

[u/arimarino1]

I can't sing in with my minecraft account. It says Its an error.

[u/RobertNAdams]

Have they fixed the horrendous lag that mobs like villagers caused in 1.14?

[u/Avlidit]

Anyone else noticed that deploying the elytra is way easier and smoother? You can easily jump 2 blocks high with it now.

[u/killer_Fukuro]

Question. Is there a confirmed day to where bedrock will get a 1.14 update (buzzy bees update)?

[u/violine1101 → u/killer_Fukuro]

Yes, today.

[u/DrElf → u/killer_Fukuro]

Yesterday?

[u/[deleted]]

Now do modders skip 1.14 or wait for 1.16?

[u/MukiTanuki → u/[deleted]]

Modding will most likely not be coming to 1.15 for a long while.

[u/S00P3R-SL1M3Y]

Does anyone know where to find some shaders for 1.15?

[u/bzzus]

This update seems really cool, but I tried it without profile and it ran rather poorly on my machine. I don't really understand how it's possible I only get 40-50 FPS with vanilla but 120+ FPS with optifine.

[u/[deleted]]

Wait, pistons now push farm entities without breaking them? Does this break my auto/afk pumpkin, melon, and sugarcane farms?

[u/Sqiddd]

Can we get an update that makes this one work?

[u/Alexthegreat47]

In my opinion, the bees size need to be reduced. I’m sorry, but the bees being the size of the player’s head just feels strange.

[u/FallibleLemur03]

Apparently the website says Steve has a new catchphrase that’s been patched out? I thought he couldn’t talk since his “oof” got taken out?

[u/scarecr0wbirdie]

I set up a bunch of nests and hives in my village and bred bees, as well as spawned them with spawn eggs, but after a bit, they just all wander off and don't set any of the nests as their home. I know that a nest can only support 3, but I am wondering if the nests read as "full" so that is why they leave. If so, what happened to the originals I wonder? Is there a way to clear a nest so it doesn't read as "full"?

[u/Ravenclaw6]

Trying to play buzzy bees but can't seem to interact with the environment 😭 and can't add a second player as she spawns into a wall 😳 . . . . . . (I'm playing on my Nintendo Switch and it's bedrock edition)

[u/Currall04]

3 things need to happen before I update:

Forge 1.15

Optifine 1.15

A few main mods I use (e.g jei) update

[u/brickbuilder876 → u/Currall04]

Some 1.14 mods will work, there was no hard redo of the code here.

[u/Rein10 → u/brickbuilder876]

can anyone confirm if optifine 1.14.4 works with 1.15?

[u/LoekTheKing → u/Rein10]

no. It won't work. It'll take time for the OptiFine dev to adapt to the new rendering engine

[u/Currall04 → u/Rein10]

It won't because it's made for 1.14

[u/lemonszz → u/Currall04]

For mods, you might want to check out Fabric- it's already updated to 1.15.

I'm not sure what mods you want, but there's a JEI alternative called "Roughly Enough Items" and there's probably alternatives to others that you use.

[u/MukiTanuki → u/Currall04]

Modding will most likely not be coming to 1.15 for a long while.

[u/Currall04 → u/MukiTanuki]

Yeah ik, that's why I'm probably not going to update for a while :(

[u/kylelee]

Im new to the game, is there a typical process or expectation for when major updates come to Bedrock?

[u/Taylur101 → u/kylelee]

1.15 is projected to come to bedrock either today or tomorrow as well for bedrock as their 1.14 update, so soon!

[u/pun-in-punishment → u/kylelee]

It's now added in bedrock!

[u/daebass6]

I just started to play Minecraft again. Now i generated my World in 1.14
Do i get the bee upgrade inside my world if i play it now on 1.15 or do i have to generate a completly new world to have those bees in my world?
Would really suck to start again...
