Minecraft Update Adds New Potions, Optimizations

August 13, 2015 by Ian Miles Cheong

The latest version of Minecraft adds a host of optimizations and bug fixes and some new features.

There's an all new update for Minecraft, which brings the game up to snapshot version 15w33b. 

This week's update adds a whole new type of potion, changes to existing potions, some tweaks to the Dragon fight mechanics, and a host of optimizations and bug fixes. 

The game's developers at Mojang say that they have not yet balanced the new features, which will be, in their words, "be completely overpowered or hilariously underpowered, so keep that in mind when playing with any new stuff!"

Here are the highlights:

  • Added new ‘lingering’ class of potions.
  • Told the dragon that you all called her funny names, so now she’s extra angry.
  • Optimisations! Bug fixes!
  • Looking into End Gateways may cause slight headaches.
  • Recalibrated the quantum intake regulator.

The developers say that the game will "notice" you if you throw your garbage around like a litterbug. It can also tell if you keep your world clean. 

To access the latest update, open the Minecraft launcher and press the "New Profile" button. Call it "snapshots" and check the box that says "Enable experimental development snapshots" and save. Play on that profile for the latest weekly versions.

Keep in mind that playing on these experimental versions of the game can corrupt your world, so keep a back up of your main worlds before doing this.
