Minecraft 1.8: Snapshot 14w28a Tweaks, Optimization & Bugfixes

Hello everybody and welcome back to another Minecraft update video today’s snapshot is 14w28a there is not a lot to talk about in this snapshot because it is a optimization a tweaks and changes snapshot with a lot of bug fixes so I’m going to go over the more significant of

Changes with you quickly so first of all the enchantment command has been changed here slightly you now specify the name of the enchantment rather than the ID so if I hold this in my hand then you’ll see we get the Looting effect on this sword however one thing to note this is

Only partially implemented it is not yet applied to Json file formatting so if you were to use this with Slash give then you would still have to specify the ID of the enchantment the game has now been fully updated to use metadata and it is now stored in the

Chunks data as well so previously the game would have said this is a Sandstone block and this is a standstone block variant type 1 whereas now you can see the type is the name so chiseled underscore Sandstone you can see at the top there the full name of the block and

You can see that for war it just specifies the color that it is as well and here with redstone you can see there are quite a few statuses so it creates quite a long name for the block type but that is now a fully implemented change the new block model format for resource

Packs is considered finish and ready to be used however they have changed the formatting once again so I can’t show you it in this snapshot what those looks like but there is also a new feature as well to disable them so if you’re using a resource pack and you don’t want the

Custom models then you can go down here to Alternative blocks and you can turn them off the game previously treated snow layers like they were full blocks when you were trying to place something so for example you couldn’t place a bed on top of the

Snow you can now do that you can also place down heads as well it is now raining we all hate it when it rains however there is a minor change made to upside down stairs like this the rain will no longer create the water animation Under the Stairs however with

Water above it it will so a very tiny change there not sure exactly why they did that but there you go so we all know that Iron Golems don’t like the zombie pigman but previously any mob the Iron Golem didn’t like it could Target them if they were invisible

As you can see we’ve got an invisible one there we now have two of them and the Iron Golem isn’t going to Target them if you sleep in a bed at night and there are opaque blocks around it it’s possible for you to wake up next to the

Bed inside one of those opaque blocks this is supposedly been fixed but every time that I leave the bed I now spawn on top of it so I think they’ve fixed it for around the bed but not on top of it in the previous snapshot you could place

Two slabs like this and then you would get this block right here without the line in between this was actually a bug and it has now been fixed in the latest snapshot there are a whole bunch more bug fixes in this snapshot as well I just covered

The most important ones most of them are things that just get broken from snapshot to snapshot like this right here but if you want to see a full list of that there’s a link down there in the description box and there is also another feature for servers as well you

Can now customize Network compression using the server.properties file what this means is you can use more CPU power to compress the data that you’re sending and then send less data so if you have a bad connection and a good computer then perhaps that will be able to solve some

Connection issues for you there is also a new command added to the game this is slash stats however I really don’t know anything about this or how it works so I am not the person to try and explain it but I’m sure there’ll be another YouTuber out there who’ll be able to

Explain it in great detail but that is going to be it for me this video as always if you have enjoyed it please do leave a like it will always be appreciated but thanks for watching and I’ll catch you next time
