&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;14w05a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the eighth [[Minecraft:snapshot]] for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.8]], released on January 30, 2014,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{tweet|Dinnerbone|428917938390056960|Minecraft snapshot 14w05a is out!|January 30, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140131052739/https://mojang.com/2014/01/minecraft-snapshot-14w05a/|title=Minecraft snapshot 14w05a|date=Janaury 30, 2014|website=Mojang.com|author=[[Minecraft:Dinnerbone]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which adds [[Minecraft:Spectator]] mode and [[Minecraft:barrier]] blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Additions ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Blocks ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[File:Barrier (held) JE2 BE2.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Barrier]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Act like a solid [[Minecraft:block]] but are completely transparent.&lt;br /&gt;
** Can transfer redstone signals and allow blocks to be placed on it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Indestructible like [[Minecraft:bedrock]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Can only be obtained using {{cmd|give @p minecraft:barrier}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the lava texture as its breaking particle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gameplay ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Spectator]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* New game mode.&lt;br /&gt;
* Usage: {{cmd|gamemode spectator}}, {{cmd|gamemode sp}} or {{cmd|gamemode 3}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* No interaction with the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Player can move through any entity or block without interfering with it (commonly referred to as &amp;#039;noclip&amp;#039; or as if in the [[Minecraft:far lands]] because they have fake chunks).&lt;br /&gt;
** Collecting or using items is impossible, as is placing, destroying or interacting with blocks in any way.&lt;br /&gt;
*** A bug in this version allows the selected item from the hotbar to be dropped.&lt;br /&gt;
** Viewing inventories and GUIs is possible, but it is not possible to interact with them.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The [[Minecraft:heads-up display]] is disabled, except for the cross hair when looking at a mob.&lt;br /&gt;
** Player selectors (in commands) can target spectators.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Using {{cmd|give}} on a spectator causes the item(s) to drop at their location.&lt;br /&gt;
** Spectators are not noticed by mobs, and do not trigger spawners or spawning.&lt;br /&gt;
*** A spectator&amp;#039;s presence keeps a mob from [[Minecraft:despawning]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Only the [[Minecraft:void]] and {{cmd|kill}} can damage a spectator.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flying mode.&lt;br /&gt;
** Landing is not possible—the player can fly through the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
** The {{mouse|scroll}}, the sprint key, and the Slowness and Speed effects all affect the flying speed.&lt;br /&gt;
* First-person view through another player or mob&amp;#039;s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
** Left-clicking an entity locks the player&amp;#039;s position and camera to the entity&amp;#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
** The spectator cannot control where the entity moves or looks.&lt;br /&gt;
* Certain mobs have a different vision.&lt;br /&gt;
** Creeper applies the new creeper.json shader.&lt;br /&gt;
** Endermen applies the invert.json shader.&lt;br /&gt;
** Spider and cave spider apply the new spider.json shader.&lt;br /&gt;
* Viewing oneself using {{key|F5}} shows the entity.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pressing the dismount key ({{key|Shift}} by default) returns the player to flying mode.&lt;br /&gt;
* Viewing privileges.&lt;br /&gt;
** Spectators can see other spectators.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Appear as a translucent disembodied head.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The selected item from the hotbar is also visible.&lt;br /&gt;
** Invisible players and mobs appear visible, but translucent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== General ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Shaders]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* creeper.json.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shows the world in pixelated shades of green, similar to green.json.&lt;br /&gt;
** Is applied when the [[Minecraft:player]] uses Spectator mode on a [[Minecraft:creeper]].&lt;br /&gt;
* spider.json.&lt;br /&gt;
** A segmented-eyes effect.&lt;br /&gt;
** Is applied when the player uses Spectator mode on a [[Minecraft:spider]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Splash]]es&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Added the following splashes:&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;pls rt&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Do you want to join my server?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Put a little fence around it!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Throw a blanket over it!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;One day, somewhere in the future, my work will be quoted!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Now with additional stuff!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Extra things!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Blocks ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Activator rail]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Powered activator rails now shake minecarts, causing riders to dismount.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:End portal (block)]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inventory image is now the missing texture instead of the nether portal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Items ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Armor]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* No longer gets colored when mobs/players are hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Written book]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Copying written books now marks them as copies/copies of copies.&lt;br /&gt;
* The copying status of a book (i.e. original, copy of original or copy of a copy) is denoted in a separate line in the tooltip, beneath the author&amp;#039;s name.&lt;br /&gt;
* Copies of copies cannot be copied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== General ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Debug screen]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Text now has a background.&lt;br /&gt;
* Replaced x, y, z, b, bl and other labels with more understandable labels.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Light&amp;quot; is now the light levels at feet, not eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Currently missing LC value.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Minecraft:Redwood Taiga Hills M]] biome now shows its name in worlds created since [[Minecraft:13w49a]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Worlds created from [[Minecraft:13w36a]] to [[Minecraft:13w48b]] that already generated chunks with the biome don&amp;#039;t show it in the debug screen, as they show [[Minecraft:Mega Spruce Taiga]] instead. In these worlds, Redwood Taiga Hills M generates normaly but it only shows in the debug screen in newly chunks generated since [[Minecraft:13w49a]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;GUI code&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Improvements to allow &amp;quot;cooler things&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{tweet|Dinnerbone|428161570867519488|Trying to clean up the GUI code so that we can do cooler things. This is both fun and not fun.|January 28, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
