14w30c is the fortieth snapshot for Java Edition 1.8, released on July 24, 2014, to fix some of the bugs and crashes in 14w30a and 14w30b.^[1][2]

Banners

• Now have some new patterns.
  • 'Cross' which puts a cross on the banner (slightly thinner than when using stripes).
  • 'Border' which adds a border to the banner (again thinner than when using stripes).
  • 'Curly border' which adds a more decorative border.
  • 'Mojang logo' which adds the Mojang logo.

Lighting

• Some black spots now occur.
• The black spots bug-fix was responsible for MC-62993, which was causing trees in certain biomes to not generate.^[3]

Distance effects

• Fixed a very major rendering bug that occurred in 14w30a and 14w30b at high coordinates for many GPUs^{[verify for Java Edition]} if VBOs were disabled.
