Java Edition 15w32b

15w32b is the fifth snapshot for Java Edition 1.9, released on August 6, 2015^[1] to fix some bugs and crashes from 15w32a, along with adding and changing some features.

Scoreboard

• Added /scoreboard players tag ...
  • Players can add and remove tags for any entity based on NBT data of that entity/player.
    • For example /scoreboard players tag @a add test {OnGround:0b} adds the tag "test" to all players that are in the air.
  • Tags can be accessed by using the parameters after the selector; /give @a[tag=test] stone 1 gives 1 stone to all players that have the tag "test".
  • Players can use /scoreboard players tag <player> list to see what tags are on an entity (Note that in this current version, players can't use tab to get "list").
  • Tags are stored in the playerdata file as strings, not in the scoreboard files.
    • This means that any tag the player binds, has to be bound to an existing online player or an existing entity.
    • Unlike objectives, tags cannot be displayed on the sidebar or anywhere else.
      • Only via the list subcommand can you see which tags an entity has.
• Added three new objective types: XP, hunger and oxygen.
  • "xp" can be used to track the players exact amount of XP points.
  • "food" can be used to track the hunger level of the player (ranges from 0 to 20).
  • "air" can be used to see for how long the player has been underwater.
    • Starts at 300 (out of water) and then decreases 1 per tick as long as the player's head is underwater (resets when the player exits the water).
    • The Water Breathing effect freezes the timer and the Respiration enchantment slows down the countdown each time more with each level.

World selection screen

• Now displays a thumbnail per world showing a glimpse of the world (it takes a screenshot when player has just created or opened it for the first time in this snapshot or higher).
  • When the world hasn't been opened in snapshot 15w32b or before, or if the game couldn't make a screenshot thumbnail, a gray-scale image is displayed.
  • The thumbnail is saved in the world folder under .minecraft/saves with the name "icon.png".

Ender Dragon

• Now flies over the portal and dies if the final hit is applied elsewhere.

Shulker

• No longer teleport by themselves if NoAI is set to 1.
• Can now be teleported using /tp or /spreadplayers.

NBT format

• Entity tags now work on spawn eggs.
  • The corresponding mob spawns with the assigned tags.

Creative inventory

• Removed arrow of Splashing.

World selection screen

• The exclamation mark from last snapshot, indicating that the world has not been played in the current snapshot yet, is now shown on top of the thumbnail.
  • It also warns if a world was played in a newer version of Minecraft before, telling the player that the world may corrupt, if they open it in an older version.
    • The version number now displays in red if it has been played in a newer version before.
• The player can now click the play arrow on the thumbnail, just like a server, to open the world.
