Java Edition 16w06a

16w06a is the fifty-fourth snapshot released for 1.9.

Changes

 * Riding entities such as boats, horses, minecarts and saddled pigs, are now run by the client instead by the server.
 * The elytra texture now defaults to the cape texture if no custom texture is uploaded and the player owns a cape.
 * In addition to previous patches of the 1.9 snapshots, more sounds have been modified.
 * Most entities in the game should now move much more smoothly.
 * Tipped Arrows are now crafted by 8 arrows surrounding a lingering potion of that type, yielding 8 of them.
 * Can no longer be obtained by splashing down a lingering potion first, then shooting regular arrows through that cloud.
 * This new method can even create Tipped Arrows from a custom lingering potion using commands, but the Tipped Arrow will say "Arrow of Splashing" if it is custom-made.
 * Maximum radius for Frost Walker is now 16 blocks (i.e. levels over 14 don't increase the range).
 * Stronghold placement has changed:
 * The 1st ring has 3 strongholds within 1408–2688 of the origin
 * The 2nd ring has 6 strongholds within 4480–5760 of the origin
 * The 3rd ring has 10 strongholds within 7552–8832 of the origin
 * The 4th ring has 15 strongholds within 10624–11904 of the origin
