15w43c is the thirty-sixth snapshot for Java Edition 1.9, released on October 23, 2015^[1] to make some changes to the loot table system, as well as fix some bugs and crashes.

General

• Fixed mobs never dropping equipment.

Endermen

• Drop the block they are carrying again.

Pigs

• If equipped with saddle, they drop the saddle again.

Boats

• Remapped. They now have a separate texture per oar and per side of the boat.

Igloos

• The glass bottle in the brewing stand was removed.
• A cobweb generates in the corner of the basement.
• The sign in the igloo dungeon has changed.^[2]
  • Previously:

• Now:

• when translated in morse code, it reads 4 3 Z R L D 7 3.

Fishing

• The Lure enchantment no longer affects the chances of catching things, only the delay.
• The Luck of the Sea enchantment is broken due to a typo in the new fishing loot table.
• Fished junk is less damaged (0%–90% durability remaining) while treasure is more damaged (0%–25% durability remaining).
• Ink sacs now are caught singly with weight 10 (formerly a stack of 10 with weight 1).

Loot tables

• The format is updated, so that rather than a 'items' node containing 'item' entries, it is an 'entries' node containing 'type' and 'name' entries.
  • Type entries can be 'item', 'loot_table', or 'empty'.
  • Name entries can either be item identifier for items, or the location and name of the loot table.
    • Example:

"type": "loot_table",

"name": "minecraft:gameplay/fishing/treasure",.

• This allows for easier nested loot tables.

• The fishing tables are now available, along with loot for skeleton horses, zombie horses, and sheep without wool.
• Added the function 'set_damage', which is used to change the durability of a tool.
• Fixed some loot tables.
  • Guardians and elder guardians have their rare drop of fishing loot again, though it includes fishing junk and fishing treasure as well.
  • Elder guardians only drop sponges when killed by the player.
  • Horses drop 1 leather. Skeleton and zombie horses drop 1 bone and 1 rotten flesh, respectively.
  • Squid reverted back to dropping 1–3 ink sacs (was changed to 0–2 in 15w43b).
  • Wither skeleton coal drop chance reverted back to earlier behavior: drops −1–1 (i.e. a 66% chance of 0 and a 33% chance of 1) with the amount increased as usual by Looting.
  • Spider and cave spider eye drop chance adjusted, now drops −1–1 (i.e. a 66% chance of 0 and a 33% chance of 1) with the amount increased as usual by Looting.
