Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 8 fixes Ender Dragon flight, adds languages

Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 8 is out for Java Edition. Mojang says the Ender Dragon "has forgotten a thing or two about flying", so this snapshot fixes several problems with its flight behavior.

Ender Dragon fixes

• The dragon no longer dives toward the player.
• It no longer dives to the exit portal incorrectly.
• It no longer gets stuck flying back and forth between two points.
• Its vertical velocity while flying is corrected, which was causing erratic behavior.

New languages and tweaks

Javanese and Chavacano (Zamboanga) language support has been added. Smaller changes include:

• Snow Layers and Snow Blocks now sit next to the Snow Brick Set in the Creative Inventory.
• All undead mobs are now immune to the Freezing effect.
• Ice Ball damage was reduced.
• The Cold Sulfur Cube archetype no longer floats, matching other archetypes with similar properties.

Other fixes

The snapshot lists 43 bug fixes in total. Some that you may notice:

• Growing trees next to unrelated logs no longer makes their leaves decay.
• Some rideable entities no longer stop moving when launched by wind charges.
• The game no longer crashes when generating canyons with certain noise settings, or when pressing an arrow key after a non-left click in the statistics menu's items tab.
• Failed /effect commands now report the correct number of applied effects.

For pack and tool makers

The Data Pack version is now 127.0 and the Resource Pack version is now 103.0. Validation of loot tables, predicates and similar elements changed, and some problems are now errors that can prevent loading or command compilation. A new pattern command argument type was added. Terrain vertex data and some shaders changed as well.

Snapshots are testing builds, so back up your worlds before you try them.
