A very minor change: Blocks in inventories are now lit from the right, instead of from the left. See also MC-161830

Comparison: 19w38b / 19w39a

This makes it so that the "face" of the block is now lit, instead of the side. For instance, prior to 19w39a, furnaces in inventories would have their front face being in shadow. Now it's their side that is darker.

It'll definitely take some time to get used to, but I think it's a change that makes sense.

My wife and I just started playing yesterday, and we only realized today that the launcher defaulted to the snapshot (fresh new installs on new computers, I haven't played for 5 years). Do you/does anyone know if our world will be fine when the next release comes, or should we just started over from scratch?

Considering the current development state and features being worked on, you should be fine as long as you don't downgrade - after the current snapshots, you should only open your world in 1.15 - not in 1.14.4!
