'''15w43a''' is the thirty-fourth [[Minecraft:snapshot]] for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.9]], released on October 21, 2015.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20151021161242/https://www.mojang.com/2015/10/minecraft-snapshot-15w43a/</ref> Most notably, Chinese, Japanese and Korean (and likely other IME languages) can now be input into chat thanks to bug {{bug|MC-2781}} being fixed. Igloos were also added in this version.

== Additions ==
=== World generation ===
'''{{EnvLink|Igloo}}'''
* Spawns randomly in [[Minecraft:ice plains]] and [[Minecraft:cold taiga]] (but not the hills variant).
** Spawning parameters are shared with [[Minecraft:desert pyramid]]s, [[Minecraft:jungle temple]]s, and [[Minecraft:witch hut]]s: the fact of a structure spawn is decided, then the biome determines which structure (if any) is spawned.
* Created by Searge (as found in the NBT data).
* An igloo contains: 9 [[Minecraft:white carpet]]s, 3 [[Minecraft:light gray carpet]]s, 2 blocks of [[Minecraft:ice]], a [[Minecraft:redstone torch]], a [[Minecraft:furnace]], [[Minecraft:bed]] and a [[Minecraft:crafting table]].
* Some igloos have a [[Minecraft:stone brick]] basement, with a [[Minecraft:cauldron]], 2 [[Minecraft:red carpet]]s, a [[Minecraft:brewing stand]], 3 [[Minecraft:spruce stairs]], 2 [[Minecraft:torch]]es and a loot chest, along with a [[Minecraft:villager]] priest and [[Minecraft:zombie villager]] priest behind [[Minecraft:iron bars]]. An [[Minecraft:oak trapdoor]] with [[Minecraft:ladder]]s leads down into the basement. Cracked and mossy stone bricks can also generate.
** In the loot chest, there is sometimes be a [[Minecraft:golden apple]] in the central spot, hinting that the player needs to cure the zombie.
** Always spawns with a splash potion of Weakness, hinting the player to use these on the zombie villager to turn it into the same type of villager next to it.
** The zombie has the <code>PersistenceRequired</code> tag which makes it not despawn.
** [[Minecraft:Silverfish]] spawn in some stone brick blocks.

=== Command format ===
'''[[Minecraft:NBT format]]'''
* Chests/minecart chests
** {{nbt|string|LootTable}}: Loot table to be used to fill the chest when it is next opened or destroyed. When the chest is part of a double chest, only the half corresponding to the tagged single-chest is affected.
*** e.g. <code>/setblock ~ ~1 ~ minecraft:chest 0 replace {LootTable:"minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon"}</code>.
** {{nbt|long|LootTableSeed}}: Seed for generating the loot table. Used in vanilla survival to replicate chest content in new worlds with same seeds. 0 or omitted uses a random seed.
*** {{command|setblock ''x'' ''y'' ''z'' minecraft:chest 0 replace <nowiki>{LootTable:"chests/simple_dungeon",LootTableSeed:12345}</nowiki>}}.
* All mobs
** {{nbt|string|DeathLootTable}} (string): Determines which loot table is used when the mob is killed.
*** e.g. <code>/summon Creeper ~ ~1 ~ {DeathLootTable:"minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon"}</code>.
** {{nbt|long|DeathLootTableSeed}} (long): The deterministic seed for grabbing data from the loot table. Used in vanilla survival to replicate chest content in new worlds with same seeds. Must not be 0.
*** e.g. <code>/summon Creeper ~ ~1 ~ {DeathLootTable:"minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon",DeathLootTableSeed:123l}</code>.

=== General ===
==== [[Minecraft:Language]] ====
* Added LOLCAT.
* Replaced Australian English (Australia) with English (Australia). (Australian English had many jokes/slang, but English (Australia) is a real language.)
'''[[Minecraft:Loot tables]]'''
* All loot from mobs, chests etc. is now based on [[Minecraft:loot table]]s, excluding block drops.
** Can be changed by mapmakers by adding a json file within the "WORLD/data/loot_tables" folder, however, it is broken in 43a.
