19w41a is the ninth snapshot for Java Edition 1.15, released on October 9, 2019.[1] It adds a new menu panorama, two new blocks, the ability to toggle sprinting and sneaking, and a new command for spectating.

Additions[]

Blocks[]

Honey Block JE1 BE2 Honey blocks
  • Crafted from 4 honey bottles.
    • The bottles are not consumed and will remain in the crafting grid.
  • Walking is slowed, and jump height is reduced.
    • Effect also works through non-full blocks like carpet, trapdoors and slabs.
  • If an entity is on a honey block that is pushed by a piston, the entity will be moved with the honey block.
  • Entities touching the side of a honey block slide down slowly.
  • Landing on a honey block reduces fall damage.
    • Fall damage is cut to about 15 of normal: equal to ceiling(fall distance - 3) / 5), or in other words, 15 of 1♥ for every block fallen after the first 3, rounded up.
  • When a honey block is pushed or pulled by a piston, it attempts to move all adjacent blocks in the same direction.
  • Mobs will usually avoid walking on them.
  • Does not conduct redstone signals.
  • Bees will occasionally 'eat' from them if placed near beehives or bee nests.
Honeycomb Block JE1 BE1 Honeycomb blocks
