Java Edition 15w43c

15w43c is the thirty-sixth snapshot for 1.9, which was released to make some changes to the loot table system, as well as fix some bugs and crashes.

This version has been removed from the launcher for quite a bit, then it was added back in September 2018.

Changes

 * Textures
 * Remapped boats. They now have a separate texture per oar and per side of the boat.


 * Loot tables
 * The format is updated, so that rather than a 'items' node containing 'item' entries, it is an 'entries' node containing 'type' and 'name' entries.
 * Type entries can be 'item', 'loot_table', or 'empty'.
 * Name entries can either be item identifier for items, or the location and name of the loot table.
 * Example:
 * This allows for easier nested loot tables.
 * This allows for easier nested loot tables.


 * The fishing tables are now available, along with loot for skeleton horses, zombie horses, and sheep without wool.
 * Added the function 'set_damage', which is used to change the durability of a tool.
 * Fixed some loot tables.
 * Guardians and elder guardians have their rare drop of fishing loot again, though it includes fishing junk and fishing treasure as well.
 * Elder guardians only drop sponges when killed by the player.
 * Horses drop 1 leather. Skeleton and zombie horses drop 1 bone and 1 rotten flesh, respectively.
 * Squids reverted back to dropping 1–3 ink sacs (was changed to 0–2 in 15w43b).
 * Wither skeleton coal drop chance reverted back to earlier behavior: drops −1–1 (i.e. a 66% chance of 0 and a 33% chance of 1) with the amount increased as usual by Looting.
 * Spider and cave spider eye drop chance adjusted, now drops −1–1 (i.e. a 66% chance of 0 and a 33% chance of 1) with the amount increased as usual by Looting.


 * Fishing
 * The Lure enchantment no longer affects the chances of catching things, only the delay.
 * The Luck of the Sea enchantment is broken due to a typo in the new fishing loot table.
 * Fished junk will be less damaged (0%–90% durability remaining) while treasure will be more damaged (0%–25% durability remaining).
 * Ink sacs will now be caught singly with weight 10 (formerly a stack of 10 with weight 1).


 * Igloos
 * The glass bottle in the brewing stand was removed.
 * A cobweb generates in the corner of the basement.
 * The sign in the igloo dungeon has changed.
