• Is a junction block that allows to construct structures out of smaller templates.
  • Target pool refers to a pool of elements the jigsaw block can draw elements from (ie: the next template to place).

General

Technical

• Added support for directional opacity of Minecraft:blocks.
  • Used by Minecraft:carpet, Minecraft:enchanting table, Minecraft:end portal frame, Minecraft:farmland, Minecraft:grass paths, extended Minecraft:piston base blocks, Minecraft:slabs, Minecraft:snow layers, and Minecraft:stairs: their full-block faces block light, and their non-full faces let light through the gaps.
  • Not used by Minecraft:cauldrons, Minecraft:comparators, Minecraft:daylight detectors, Minecraft:hoppers, Minecraft:redstone repeaters, or Minecraft:stonecutters: these are fully transparent, and let light through all their faces, even their full-block faces.
• Added loot table for Minecraft:illusioners.

Trivia

• Unlike most of the first-of-the-week snapshots, this was released on a Thursday instead of Wednesday, similar to the snapshots before Minecraft:14w26a.
• This is the first snapshot where the end rings glitch happens. This glitch is where the End terrain cuts of at 370,720 blocks from (0,0) due to the terrain generation code trying to take the square root of a negative number.
