&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;15w42a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the thirty-third [[Minecraft:snapshot]] for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.9]], released on October 14, 2015.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://www.mojang.com/2015/10/minecraft-snapshot-15w42a/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Additions ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Blocks ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{{Animate|Frosted Ice (age 0) JE1.png; Frosted Ice (age 1) JE1.png; Frosted Ice (age 2) JE1.png; Frosted Ice (age 3) JE1.png|32px}} [[Minecraft:Frosted ice]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Created when using &amp;quot;Frost Walker&amp;quot; enchantment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Cannot be obtained in inventory, neither with Silk Touch, pick block nor with commands. (Can only be placed using {{cmd|setblock}}, {{cmd|fill}} etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
* Despawns after a few seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
** Despawning takes place in four breaking stages (blockstates: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;age:0, age:1, age:2, age:3&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;). Still decays with &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;randomTickSpeed&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; set to 0, but a higher number makes it decay faster.&lt;br /&gt;
** Despawns faster with a higher light level (doesn&amp;#039;t despawn at night).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Command format ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:NBT format]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Minecraft:Brewing stand]]s&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;Fuel&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; (byte): Stores how much fuel is remaining in a brewing stand.&lt;br /&gt;
*** e.g. &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;/setblock ~ ~1 ~ minecraft:brewing_stand 0 replace {Fuel:127b}&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gameplay ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Enchanting]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Treasure&amp;quot; enchantments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Can only be obtained from [[Minecraft:chest loot]], [[Minecraft:fishing]], or [[Minecraft:trading]] for enchanted books.&lt;br /&gt;
* New treasure enchantment: [[Minecraft:Frost Walker]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Turns water into [[Minecraft:frosted ice]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Different tiers:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Level I creates a circle of frosted ice around the player with a radius of 2 blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Each additional level adds 1 to that radius.&lt;br /&gt;
** Works while riding mobs.&lt;br /&gt;
** Doesn&amp;#039;t turn water into frosted ice if an entity is in that spot.&lt;br /&gt;
** Works as long as the [[Minecraft:player]] is within one block above a solid block.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flowing water also turns into frosted ice, making one bucket of water enough to make an infinite water source.&lt;br /&gt;
** Cannot be combined with [[Minecraft:Depth Strider]] enchantment.&lt;br /&gt;
* New treasure enchantment: [[Minecraft:Mending]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Any experience collected while holding the item repairs it instead of going to the experience bar.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mainhand, offhand, and armor slots all count as held.&lt;br /&gt;
*** If multiple held items have the enchantment, one is chosen at random for each XP orb collected.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Repairs at a rate of 2 durability per XP.&lt;br /&gt;
*** If the amount of repair needed is less than the value of the XP orb, the extra XP goes to the experience bar.&lt;br /&gt;
*** [[Minecraft:Shield]]s cannot be enchanted with Mending using {{command|enchant}} or an anvil in Survival.&lt;br /&gt;
**** Mending enchantment &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;does&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; affect the shield when using anvil in Creative or NBT commands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== General ===&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;Falling with style!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s no stopping the Trollmaso&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Throw yourself at the ground and miss&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Blocks ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Brewing stand]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Requires [[Minecraft:blaze powder]] to be able to use.&lt;br /&gt;
** One piece of blaze powder allows for 30 ingredients to be brewed in the brewing stand (tag: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;Fuel:30b&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
*** To be exact, it removes 1 from fuel (1 blaze powder = 30 fuel) every time the [[Minecraft:player]] puts an ingredient in (if the player takes it out and puts it back in, it takes another fuel).&lt;br /&gt;
** Can be automated by putting a hopper feeding in the side of the block like water bottles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Items ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Elytra]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nerfed - the player is no longer able to go higher than where they started.&lt;br /&gt;
* New sneaking animation.&lt;br /&gt;
* The player can now fit through one block high gaps while gliding.&lt;br /&gt;
* Horizontal collisions now deal damage, new death message: &amp;quot;Player experienced kinetic energy&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Non-mob entities ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Boat]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Now slightly faster than sprinting.&lt;br /&gt;
** This makes them similar in speed to the old boats, though with less momentum.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players can now {{control|use}} items and {{control|attack}} immediately after they stop rowing.&lt;br /&gt;
* All types of boats are now craftable, except for dark oak boats.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{bug|MC-90590}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gameplay ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Anvil]] repairing&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Renaming an item does not increase the repair cost for a future repair/rename any more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Enchanting]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Enchantments with maximum level I no longer display the level, e.g. &amp;quot;Infinity&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;Infinity I&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* When multiple pieces of Thorns armor are worn, one is now chosen at random instead of always using the &amp;quot;bottommost&amp;quot; piece.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== General ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Player]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* When crouching, players are 1.65 blocks tall (versus 1.8 blocks normally).&lt;br /&gt;
* When flying with elytra, players are now only 0.6 blocks tall.&lt;br /&gt;
* When laying in bed, players are as tall as a 0.2 blocks cube.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Splash]]es&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Changed &amp;quot;0% sugar&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;1% sugar&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removed &amp;quot;SOPA means LOSER in Swedish!&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
