Insane Minecraft 1.9 Snapshot: End Ship Dragon Head & Performance Boost

Hey guys it’s Adam aka swimming bird and welcome to the new snapshot for Minecraft 1.9 this is 15w 32c and it’s another quick one but it has some important features to cover so if you missed any of the big 1.9 features so far like this little monster the shulker

There’s a link in the description where you can catch up on that first giant snapshot so the ender dragon in this version now properly dies in all of its glowy glory without needing to be perched on the egg portal so this bug fix has made a very tough new version of

The boss a little bit easier for us scoreboards now have a tag feature to make sending up events related to what the player is doing simpler for minigames adventure maps and stuff like that and now there can be objectives based on how much food air or experience

A player has on their hotbar so this is gonna open up a lot of possibilities the arrow of splashing is now tragically gone from the creative inventory it lives such a short life but it didn’t really do anything that does mean that shooting a portable water block is

Probably not in the cards for this update but at least we’ve got these cool water splash potions for putting out fires the world selection screen is now a bit better it’s been improved even more from the last snapshot it has those map opening arrow icons just like the

Server selection and it also displays a thumbnail with a glimpse at how things look when you first create a world but you can go into your saves folder to change this picture it’s called icon PNG if you want to swap it out so this is a big deal for all players particles are

No longer entities which is huge for making the game use less memory and run much faster than before performance has increased by any crazy 163 percent and as you can see we have quite a few of these little guys on screen at once 16384 particles is the new limit and

Even if even if you try to spawn in more like I have this one for a hundred thousand it still caps out at over 16,000 but that’s crazy we used to only be able to do 4,000 particles at max and even just in my fight with the ender

Dragon I noticed a few things about you know the game was running smoother and the Enderman were always able to pump out those little purple particles despite all the flashy boss effects so this is crazy the particle range can appear more than double what it was

Before so you can now see instead of seeing particles 15 blocks away you can oust let’s feed them 31 blocks away and if you change this part at the end to force instead of normal you can make them appear even farther than that to finish up though we’ve got two big

Features related to this little guy here the end ship that appears at end cities now the EZ beacon has been removed this was a controversial feature and I think a lot of players agreed that it would be a little too easy to just find one of these ships and grab the beacon from

Here instead of having to fight the wither which is a lot more challenging so it’s been removed and it’s been replaced with a pumpkin the iron blocks are still here so that’s just easy iron right there but the the pumpkins kind of nice because then you can grab this in

Case you forgot to bring one in to the end to fight the Enderman but of course the I thought that was a purple block that’s how good these guys are disguised I the loot here is still really good so I don’t think we really need the beacon

In the end ship to make it worth coming here and we also got a new piece of loot to kind of make up for the fact that the beacon is gone the ender dragon head which we thought was going to drop from the dragon is now on the bow of the end

Ships so that’s a nice another nice reward for exploring the end city dungeons but it looks really cool there I wonder how many ender dragons are in the world if these end cities that have been built have the dragon heads all on the ships here like there must have been

Tons and tons of dragons and maybe they were hunted by the Enderman to extinction or something the shoulders probably know they’re not talking though thank you guys for watching please leave a thumbs up if you enjoyed this video and if you have twitter you can follow
