Java Edition 15w43b

15w43b is the thirty-fifth snapshot for 1.9, and was released to fix an issue with multiplayer from the previous snapshot and to get custom drop tables working, as well as add subtitles.

General

 * Captions/Subtitles
 * Subtitles which display sounds for the hard of hearing/deaf.
 * Mobs have individualised subtitles, for example “Creeper hissing”.
 * "<" or ">" points in the direction the sound is coming from.

Changes

 * Igloos
 * Golden apple will now always be present, and will no longer disappear if the chunk is unloaded before the chest is opened.
 * Made the basement walls less uniform
 * Mobs
