19w41a is the ninth snapshot for Java Edition 1.15, released on October 9, 2019. 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 blocks

• Crafted from 4 honey bottles.
  • The bottles are not consumed and remain in the crafting grid.
• Walking on them is slower, 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 is 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 ¹⁄₅ of normal: equal to ceiling(fall distance - 3) / 5), or in other words, ¹⁄₅ of 1HP 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.
  • Work the same way as slime blocks.
• Mobs usually avoid walking on them.
• Does not conduct redstone signals.
• Bees occasionally 'eat' from them if placed near beehives or bee nests.

Honeycomb blocks

• Purely decorative.
• Crafted using 4 honeycombs.

Command format

/spectate

• Syntax is /spectate [<target>] [<player>].
  • target – the target entity to spectate.
    • If omitted, makes the player stop spectating.
  • player – the player that should spectate the target.
    • Must be in Spectator mode.
    • If omitted, @s (the executing player) is used.

clickEvent

• Added copy_to_clipboard action.

Gameplay

Controls

• Sneak and sprint inputs can now be switched between "Hold" and "Toggle" mode in the accessibility options.

Iron golems

  • A sound plays on every cracking stage.
    • There are 4 stages, from uncracked to fully cracked, before the golem dies.
• Can be healed using iron ingots.
  • A sound plays each time the golem is repaired.
• One iron ingot restores 25HP × 12.5 health.
  • It takes 4 iron ingots to repair an iron golem from 1 HP to full health.

Zombie villagers

• Zombie villagers that were converted from villagers can no longer despawn.

Command format

/effect

• The /effect clear command now defaults to @s if no target argument is given.

General

Title screen

• Changed panorama to an image which includes new 1.15 features such as bees and bee nests.
  • Because this was an asset update, the menu panorama in all previous 1.15 snapshots was also updated.
