Minecraft Snapshot 18w47b

A Village & Pillage Java Snapshot

Todays snapshot is nice and peaceful. We've gone and fixed some bugs, cleaned up so much code, nothing can go wr███████████████ ...

Oh no...

UPDATE: We fixed some more things! Enjoy the snapshot and have a great weekend!

Changes in 18w47b

Numerous worldgen performance improvements
Adjusted mob spawning behavior to be closer to that of 1.13.2
More Jappa texture changes
Fixed strongholds not generating properly
Reduced the cluster size of Pillager spawning so Outposts aren't flooded by Pillagers

As if finding Pillagers out in the wild wasn't scary enough with Patrols, keep an eye out as out on your exploration you may just find an outpost of theirs.
Can be found in any biome a village can be generated.
Takes advantage of our new mystery block, the Jigsaw, for generation.

If you find an illager wearing a banner on its head, be careful not to kill it!
If you do kill it, you might find yourself facing a Bad Omen
If you find yourself facing a Bad Omen, be especially careful not to walk into a village
If you do walk into a village...good luck
