Minecraft 1.15.2 Pre-Release (Part 1)

A preliminary release of version 1.15.2 for Minecraft: Java Edition has been announced, detailing the bugs that have been fixed as well as new features. The update is expected to be available sometime next week.

Changes

• When breaking a beehive with silk touch, nearby bees will no longer enter a state of rage.
• New rules have been added: “doPatrolSpawning” and “doTraderSpawning”, which control the spawning of patrols and wandering traders.
• The new feature “gui_light” allows for light management when displaying a model as an item in the graphical interface.
• When rendering the block model within a slot, light control is activated. If the value ” side ” is set, the model will be displayed as a block. Conversely, if ” front ” is chosen, the model’s appearance will be shaded, resembling a two-dimensional element.
• A tree that grows within two blocks of flowers at the same level has a 5% chance of spawning bees.
• There is also a 2% likelihood that bees will begin to spawn in flower biomes in Minecraft.
• In other locations such as forests, wooded hills, birch forests, tall birch forests, and both high and regular birch hills, there is only a 0.2% chance for bees to settle there.

Error Fixes

• In certain situations, spawn protection did not function as intended.
• When entering the radius of a beacon with an active potion effect, players could lose that effect upon leaving the area.
• A minecart with a furnace traveling straight and then turning would lose some fuel after the turn.
• Concrete powder did not convert to concrete when it came into contact with water; it remained as powder.
• If a player climbed a ladder while using elytra and pressed jump, they would fall to the base of the ladder.
• Occasionally, hoppers only collected one honeycomb instead of all available ones.
• The display of user interface icons was overly dimmed.
• In the settings of Minecraft, all words were capitalized except for “input,” which was in lowercase. This has been corrected.
• Some item models appeared excessively dark in the inventory.
• The textures on the right side of the critical hit had an extra pixel, giving them an asymmetrical appearance.
• The horse armor was not aligned properly with the horse armor in the inventory slot.
• A few seconds before disappearing, mobs would gain red outlines.
• Reloading the resource pack often resulted in significant lag.
• The glowing armor stands marked with “1b” did not display a glowing effect on the items shown on the stand, even though players could see the items.
• When standing three blocks away from the bed to the northwest, you were able to sleep in it, while facing southeast resulted in an error.
• The monsters located in various directions exhibited different attack capabilities, even though the distances from them to the player were identical.
• When throwing an iron golem and inflicting damage, one could observe the textures labeled “iron_golem_crackiness_“.
• If a bee entered a hive after being in a boat, minecart, or other objects, it would no longer be able to exit the hive.
• The End Crystal was previously very dark. This issue has been resolved, and it now shines brightly again.
• The count of pollinated crops for bees was reset.
• Breaking a hive without using silk touch resulted in the death of its bees.
