Mojang has released a new snapshot for Minecraft, and alongside the optimizations and bug fixes, it also introduces bunnies. The new furry creatures come in a number of varieties, they can be tamed with carrots, or killed for the leather, meat, or a rabbit’s foot (used in creating a potion of leaping).
According to the Minecraft Wiki there’s also a 1-1000 chance that a rabbit will spawn as a hostile. These hostile rabbits will attack anything in a four block radius, the Wiki also reveals that these hostile rabbits can quickly kill an unarmored player.
The update also does feature a number of bug fixes, a list of which can be found below.
- Player can be pushed around by mobs while on horseback
- Nether Fortresses are ignoring “Generate Structure” setting at world creation
- Horse tries to breed with another horse that is not yet in Love mode
- Double plants cannot be broken by placing a different block on the block it occupies
- Statistics doesn’t resize / Buttons missing after resize
- Falling / Landing particles / particles applied to the player centered on the block rather than the player
- Mooshrooms lose their name (from name tag) when sheared
- when the disk is put in jukebox the name does not appear
This new snapshot is only available on PC. Â So Minecraft players on the Xbox and PlayStation are going to have to wait a little while for 4J Studios to catch up for their own bunny action. Â To access the snapshot, you’ll need to open the Minecraft launcher and create a new profile. Â Call the profile snapshots and check the box that says “Enable experimental development snapshots.”
