Key takeaways

  • Final 1.15 release: 1.15.2 tweaks bees and fixes 29 bugs. Mojang named the Nether as the next update.
  • Bees: neutral mobs that gather pollen from flowers and help crops grow. Their nests and hives give Honey Bottles and Honeycomb.
  • Honey Block: it limits walking and jumping, slows a slide down its side and moves what stands on it when pushed by a Piston.
  • Iron Golems: they crack when badly damaged and can be repaired with Iron Ingots.
  • New game rules: doPatrolSpawning and doTraderSpawning turn off patrols and Wandering Traders.

Bees, nests and hives

Since 1.15.2, an Oak or Birch Sapling grown within 2 blocks of a flower has a 5% chance of growing a Bee Nest, and nests also generate in Flower Forests and some other forests. Beehives are crafted from Honeycomb and planks.

Honey and Honeycomb Blocks

Honey Blocks slow movement, cushion falls and carry anything standing on them when pushed by a Piston. Honeycomb Blocks are purely decorative.

Cracked Iron Golems

An Iron Golem shows cracks based on its remaining health, and an Iron Ingot used on it restores some of that health.
