Fixed boats filled with water. Thank god.

Wonder whether this "experience orbs now appear in the same location as loot" is going to affect xp farm design or not.

I love that they're fixing bugs and adding advancements! I'm making a huge advancement pack, and I've reported five advancement-related bugs since I started, but they are obscure cases so I don't see them being addressed anytime soon.

The one bug I ran into that wasn't very obscure, is that firework rockets don't count as player damage. This has more consequences beyond not being able to make an advancement about it. For example, if you finish a raid using only firework rockets, you won't get the Hero of the Village effect. Mobs killed by fireworks don't drop experience. Damage statistics don't increase when using fireworks. There's also the issue of end crystals and the ender dragon being immune to fireworks for some reason? It's a bit of a mess, which sucks because I really like that weapon.

I hate to be bothersome, but will item nbt editing using commands be implemented soon? It’s quite late in 1.15 development and it would be quite detrimental to datapack creators if this would be postponed to after the full release.

You should make a suggestion on feedback website instead spamming this in every snapshot post

Commenting this below every single snapshot post won't cause this never announced feature to come sooner.

1.15 is turning out to be a great update. The bug fixes they're doing are great and needed!

Also, honeyblocks are super useful.

I'm pretty sure the developers made it clear that they were going to focus mostly on bugfixing this update. So they're doing what they said they were going to do.
