New languages
Two new languages have been added to the game — Javanese and Chabacano.

Bug fixes
This snapshot resolves numerous bugs — 43 in total. Here are some of the most important fixes:
1. Fixed the behaviour of the Ender Dragon. Previously, it could stop diving at the player, fail to head correctly towards the exit portal, get stuck between two points, and make sudden movements while flying.
2. Fixed a game crash during canyon generation caused by certain world height settings.
3. Fixed a crash when using the arrow keys in the statistics section after pressing an extra mouse button.
4. Fixed a bug where the leaves of grown trees could disappear if there were logs nearby that did not belong to those trees.
5. Fixed a Nether generation bug that caused the top layer of bedrock to become visible in some ravines.

How to install the snapshot
Step one: Open TLauncher and go to the ‘Settings’ tab using the cog icon in the bottom right-hand corner.
