It's almost easter, so we've hidden a snapshot in the launcher! It's not very well hidden, admittedly, it's right there for you to just hit "play". We tried. <3

Changes in snapshot 17w15a

Added descriptions to advancements & changed some titles. It's not entirely final, but we're getting there!

Added colored beds! You can craft them with coloured wool or dying a white bed

Players shouldn't be getting kicked from servers randomly now, and both recipe book & advancements should work fine in multiplayer

The recipe book is a lot more stable, hopefully no longer duplicating items

Added a toast notification for toggling the narrator

Added the option to toggle narrator between: off, chat & system, chat only, system messages only

Made stairs a little more solid, allowing torches, fences, glass panes, walls & snow to connect to them properly

Reintroduced the book recipe. Sorry about that!
