It's a very spooky day today, zombies everywhere, bats flapping around... It must be october 31st, Halloween! Man, can you imagine if it were also friday the 13th? That'd be truly scary.
Here at Mojang, we celebrate halloween in style: with snapshots! And this weeks snapshot is another doozy! New cats! New blocks! Lots of new blocks!
Keeping in the spooky theme of the day, though, we've not added any new functionality to the new blocks contained within this snapshot. How fiendish of the developers! What could they possibly be for? We may never find out... At least not today.
Changes in 18w44a
- Split cats and ocelots to their own creatures and updated cats with new features!

- You can now right click on signs with dyes to change the text color
- Lots of performance improvements, especially to client stuttering!

- Cat collars can now be dyed
- Added several new cat skins!
New blocks
Even more! Can you believe it?!

- Added Cartography Table

Technical changes in 18w44a
- Players, armor stands and wither now have loot tables
- Changed NBT chat components
- Removed award part of /drop command (loot now does the same thing)
NBT chat component
- Block variant {"nbt": <path>, "block":"<coordinates>"}, where <coordinates> field uses same format as /setblock
- Entity variant {"nbt": <path>, "entity":<selector>}, where selector field uses same format as /kill
- Additionaly, if field interpret is present and set to true, contents of selected tags will be interpreted as chat components
- Works same as selector components:
- if there are no elements, returns empty string
- if there are multiple elements, merges them with ,
Loot tables
- New loot table functions: set_lore, fill_player_head
- Removed loot table condition: entity_present
- New loot table conditions: damage_source_properties, location_check, weather_check and two special modifiers: inverted and alternative
- Renamed entity parameter in predicates from direct_killer_entity to direct_killer
Modified conditions
entity_properties
