Minecraft snapshot 14w05a released

It's that time again — a new Minecraft snapshot has been released. So what's new this week? As per usual, Nathan "Dinnerbone" Adams has provided a nice concise list of changes contained in snapshot 14w05a:

Notable additions for survival:

  • Book copying mechanics has been altered to differentiate the original & copies of books
  • Activator rails can eject entities from Minecarts

Notable additions for mapmakers:

  • Added a spectator gamemode (/gamemode spectator). Not 100% finished.
  • Spectators cannot be seen by anybody but other spectators
  • Spectators can view inventories/etc, but not modify them
  • Spectators can go through any entity or block without interfering with it
  • Spectators can click on entities to take their camera
  • Spectators cannot use items, place blocks, destroy blocks or interact with blocks in any way
  • Spectators are only slightly buggy maybe sometimes
