Mojang has released the snapshot 16w32b, and it comes with some new improvements as well as bug fixes. But what can be seen in the new snapshot may not be all that the developer is planning.

“While we plan to keep larger new features as a surprise to reveal at Minecon, some of the smaller changes will make it into snapshots in the following weeks,” said the developer in the official “Minecraft” blog.

Among the changes that fans can expect include the following:

  • Some mobs are now more afraid of getting wet in the water
  • More spawns for many different mobs
  • Mob types have been separated: Guardians and Elder Guardian, Skeleton, Stray and Wither Skeleton, Zombie, Zombie Villager and Husk and Horse, Skeleton Horse, Zombie Horse, Mule and Donkey
  • Hunger and saturation effects have been changed
  • Resource pack format has been changed
  • Most commands now use blockstate definitions
  • Lightning storm will now attract less skeleton horses

The developer also featured a long list of bugs that have been fixed in the new snapshot, as well as the older snapshot. As usual, fans can report bugs that they will find in the new snapshot.
