14w18a is the twentieth snapshot for Java Edition 1.8, released on April 30, 2014.[1]

Changes

Blocks

Pistons and slime blocks

  • Slime blocks now push and pull blocks adjacent when connected to sticky pistons.
    • Connected to normal pistons, slime blocks only push blocks, but don't pull them.
    • Up to 12 slime blocks connected to a piston in any arrangement can be moved as long as the following conditions are met: blocks do not disrupt the chain, non-movable blocks are not in the way and slime blocks are not attached to the piston itself.
    • Follows all the rules that pistons follow, for example, blocks which can normally be moved by pistons can be moved if attached to slime blocks.
  • Extending a piston with a slime block on top of it launches the entity (mobs, players, items, launched arrows, etc.) into the air.[2]
