    • Uses the entity.player.attack sound events: crit, knockback, nodamage, strong, sweep and weak.
  • New sounds for when an attack is blocked by shields.
    • Uses the sound event: entity.shield.block.
  • New sounds for witch idle behavior, death, drinking a potion, throwing a potion and taking damage.
    • Uses the entity.witch sound events: ambient, death, drink, throw and hurt.
  • New sounds for shulker idle behavior, death, being hit while their shell is closed, their bullet taking damage, and their bullet inflicting damage.
    • Uses the entity.shulker sound events: ambient, death and close and the entity.shulker_bullet sound events hurt and hit.
  • New sounds for the attack of the killer bunny.
    • Uses the sound event: entity.rabbit.attack.
  • New sounds for a horse eating food given by the player.

Item pickup

• When the player picks up an item, the item entity goes slightly transparent when it moves into their inventory.
  • See MC-92915.

Beacon

• Effect duration depends on pyramid levels, 9 seconds plus 2 seconds per level (formerly a constant 9 seconds).

Arrows

• Now bounce off of Creative mode players, whereas before they would pass straight through.

Shears

• Now lose durability when used to break any block (formerly only lost durability on leaves, cobweb, grass, vines, tripwire and wool).

Enchantments

• Silk Touch can no longer be applied to shears in Survival.
  • This makes cobwebs unobtainable in this snapshot.

5 issues fixed

From released versions before 1.9

• MC-8180 – Silk touch Shears don't lose durability when mining grass, ice, etc.
• MC-16834 – horses don't have sounds for eating.
• MC-62975 – Using pick block on any color banner gives a black banner.

From the 1.9 development versions

• MC-88908 – OS X - When + in the command block GUI/chat/... player will auto strafe when exiting GUI.

From the previous development version

• MC-92906 – Skins, entities and block entities become transparent.

• 15w47b was previously removed from the launcher for some time, but was added back in September 2018.
