Java Edition 15w33c

15w33c was released to fix some bugs and crashes from 15w33a and 15w33b, along with adding and changing some features.

Additions

 * Shields
 * New tool used for blocking incoming attacks.
 * Holding right click while being attacked reduces damage on the player and the durability of the shield.
 * This works when the shield is either in the main hand or in the offhand.
 * The player can hold 2 shields at once, but it does not affect the damage taken.
 * Can be combined with banners of the same base color to transfer its pattern.
 * This does not consume the banner.
 * The player cannot while blocking.
 * Crafting recipe: One column of wool (of the same color), one column of planks (any kind), an iron ingot in the middle of the last column.
 * Can only be repaired on the anvil.
 * Requires planks to repair.
 * Cannot be enchanted on the enchanting table, but can have Unbreaking added via an enchanted book.

Changes

 * Ender dragon
 * Respawned ender dragons now drop 500 experience.
 * Respawning the dragon now regenerates the circle of pillars, including the ender crystals and iron bars.
 * Explosion particles appear at the tops of the pillars as they are being rebuilt.
