Minecraft 1.15 Snapshot 19w40a
This snapshot brings some solid quality-of-life improvements to Minecraft 1.15. Parrots are now a lot more useful, mob spawning works better on blocks, and there’s a bunch of rendering fixes if you’ve been dealing with visual glitches.
What’s New
Parrots Can Sit On Your Shoulder – Parrots will perch on your shoulder even when you’re riding something. If you’ve got a parrot following you and you get on a horse, boat, or anything else, your feathered friend sticks around instead of teleporting everywhere.
Mob Spawn Fixes – Various fixes to how mobs spawn on different block types. Things should behave more predictably now.
Rendering Improvements – Multiple rendering bugs squashed to make the game run smoother and look cleaner.
