Minecraft 1.15 Update Patch Notes | Bees

Minecraft 1.15 update patch notes are finally here! The Buzzy Bees update has (rather surprisingly) finally brought bees out of testing and into Minecraft along with some other pretty cool improvements to the game.

Minecraft 1.15 update patch notes | Highlights of the patch

The obvious first highlight in the Minecraft 1.15 Update Patch Notes is the addition of bees to the actual game. Bees are neutral mobs (like cows or pigs) that are super cold unless you decide to spoil them. Then they'll hit you with their stinger and die soon after, monster. I also have good authority that they are adorable as heck.

ALSO: Dreams PS4 release date confirmed for February 14, 2020

Bees make several new additions, as noted in the Minecraft 1.15 update patch notes. In addition to the mobs themselves, the Minecraft 1.15 Update Patch Notes expose details of Honeycombs, Beehives, Honeycomb Blocks, and Honey Blocks.

• Hives are bee houses that spawn naturally.
• Honeycombs can be created by a player and also act as homes for bees.
  • Bees have no preference between hives and bees' nests - they will live in what is closest.
• Honeycomb can be acquired by cutting out a hive or honeycomb that is filled with honey.
  • Four Honeycombs can be used to create a Honeycomb decorative block.
• Honey Block is "very sticky" and has several unusual properties.

The addition of Miele Block will be important to Redstone's engineers. On his own, he can slow players down by sliding off walls, walking on them, or jumping on them. Combine that with a sticky piston and you can make some pretty cool new machines (especially in tandem with Slime Blocks).

Distributors get some minor improvements in the Minecraft 1.15 Update Patch Notes - they can now refill bottles with water or honey, making them much more useful for crafting potions. They can also cut honey combs from bees' nests and hives and also properly eject empty bottles when they are not facing the water.

That's not all there is to the Minecraft 1.15 Update Patch Notes, keep reading the full Minecraft 1.15 Update Patch Notes!

• Walking and jumping is limited
• If you find yourself on a block of honey that is pushed by a piston, come for the ride
• Jump on a wall of honey blocks to slide down and slow your fall
• Landing on a block of honey will cushion your fall a little
• When a block of honey is pushed or pulled by a piston, it sticks to adjacent blocks and tries to move them in the same direction (just like the blocks of slime do)
• Honey blocks and slime blocks don't stick to each other, because… um… due to Minecraft's special chemistry
• Mafia and animals don't like walking on blocks of honey unless they really need it as it is too sticky for their comfort
• Honey blocks are made from four honey bottles

BOTTLE OF HONEY

Organic, gluten-free, delicious locally produced honey!

parameters

• block - origin of properties (block ID)
• property - list of property names. Everything must be present on the block

MODING

In an effort to facilitate game modding, we have decided to publish our game obfuscation maps with all future versions of the game. This means that anyone interested can de-obfuscate the game and orient themselves in the code without having to spend a few months figuring out what's what. Our hope is that mod writers and mod framework writers will use these files to augment their update processes they have today. These mappings will always be available, instantly and immediately as part of each newly released version. This does not, however, change any existing restrictions on what you can and cannot do with our game code or resources. Links to obfuscation mappings are included as part of the json manifest version and can be automatically extracted for a given version.
Prefix for each obfuscation map is the following legal disclaimer:

PARTICLE PERFORMANCE

PISTONS

• The resource pack version is now 5
• The game now tries to make obsolete resource packs work as much as possible

Few loot table feeds and predicates that used lock state properties (location, property_block_property, send_block, place_lock) can now match ranges (replacing single value with {"min": ..., "max": ...}) .
Also, the block type is now optional in these predicates, so for example it is not possible to match any crops with age properties in a certain range.
