If you want to play this pre-release, choose the "Snapshots" profile in your launcher. Keep in mind that snapshots are unstable - they can break your world if you are unlucky - keep backups!

Changes in this version:
Commands, map making:
- Added new block tag minecraft:enderman_holdable
- Local coordinates now come from the feet by default
- Teleporting to things in other dimensions is now allowed
- Rotation and facing can now only be specified with /teleport (targets) (location)
- Added anchor points to teleport ... facing ..., so you can look at eyes vs feet
- Added new subcommands to /execute to allow for more control over commands
- facing (x y z) will run the command as though you're facing x y z
- facing entity (entity) (eyes|feet) will run the command as though you're facing the entity's eyes or feet
- offset has been renamed to positioned
- positioned as (entity) will change the command position (x y z) but nothing else
- rotated as (entity) or rotated y x will run the command as though you're rotated in that direction
- in (overworld|the_end|the_nether) will run the command as though it's in that dimension
- at (entity) will change the dimension, position and rotation of the command to match that entity
- (if|unless) score (name) (objective) matches (range) will test for a score in a range (ie 1, 1..5)
- anchored (feet|eyes) will make the rest of this command use feet or eyes for ^ ^ ^ coordinates or facing commands
- Server commands (functions, console, rcon) now run from world spawn in the overworld
- Fixed unhandled exceptions in commands just dumping the exception into chat, without the "unknown error" message
- Errors during a command are now a nicer error message (with tooltip for more info)
- Fixed giving 0 of any item resulting in a chat message saying that you got 0 air
- Fixed function paths with invalid characters resulting in the game freezing
- Fixed '/scoreboard players reset' removing the name from sidebars of different objectives
- Fixed being unable to test for names with name= anymore

UI:
- A large number of fixes for text components not displaying correctly
- Fixed the single player menu world version not displaying correctly

Technical:
- Changed translation files from .lang (key=value) to .json ("key": "value")
- Fixed some entities having missing translation strings in the lang files

Stability:
- Crash fixes
