A Village & Pillage Java Snapshot

We’re slowly entering the “bug fixing and polishing” phase of the 1.14 Village & Pillage update, but that didn’t stop us from sneaking in a few cool features like Leather Horse Armor (it’s dyeable!), making Invisiblity Potions actually useful in survival, and best of all… wait, oh dear, I’ve forgotten what that last thing was. Oh well, it’ll come to me later.

Changes in 19w08b

Fixed a couple of crashes

Changes in 19w08a

One Iron Golem now spawns in all villages upon generation
Improvements to invisibility to allow it to correctly work in many cases where it didn’t but you’d expect it to
Added Leather Horse Armor
Textures for potion effects are now split into individual files
Command parser now accepts ' as string quotes. Inside '-quoted string " is handled as normal character and requires no escaping (and vice-versa) – so now it’s easier to input text components in NBT.
Stopped foxes, dolphins, and pandas from having armor equipped onto them via dispenser
Changed bounding box and eye height of foxes (prevents them from drowning when swimming)
Foxes that trusted you in the previous snapshot will unfortunately no longer be trusting

Leather Horse Armor

Added a new armor type for horses
Dye it in lots, yes LOTS, of different colors
