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:

- Sticky pistons no longer drop blocks after 1-tick pulses

Commands and map making:
