Bees were definitely unexpected. Honey is a surprisingly good food - equal to mutton. I hope there's more things to use it for besides crafting into sugar, though - we already have sugar cane.
All this is undoubtedly a sideline for 1.15, though - they'll be saving the main theme for MineCon.
I haven't played the latest snapshot as I am still on 1.12.2, which has the greatest amount of mod support (only 24 pages for 1.13, but 295 for 1.12.2).
I saw a video on this snapshot by Youtuber Paul Soares Jr. where someone commented that the bees were bigger than chickens.
I think the size make sense, considering you need to be able to see them easily and hit them if necessary. If they are too small then they become a pain to deal with. Plus they are cute.

Hm, honey bottles now cure poison. I wonder if honey - or a potion brewed from it - will take the place of milk. I've thought for a long time that potion effects are too easy to remove.
The bees are alright. Kinda cute. The sizes are a bit silly but personally I don't mind them. It keeps in line with Minecraft's more cartoonish and laid-back nature which seems to have been forgotten sometimes. Disappointed it's not a cave update. For as long as I can remember Minecraft has been in need of an underground-centric update. The cave update is starting to become a meme like the heavy update in TF2.
I liked the bees but then I heard the whole update is going to be around Bugs & Bees and then the update became iffy to me. Who knows maybe this'll also be a cave update but if it's just about bugs I won't be super 100% unless the bugs are very interesting and not basic aesthetic animals.

We know for a fact that it will not be a cave update. And the "bugs and bees" thing was a joke, referring to programming bugs. I doubt very much that is really the theme of the update, they'll be saving that for MineCon.

There was an official denial about a cave update? Very disappointing if so, but nonetheless I do love the bee's and look forward to playing with their possibilities in my farms!
This requires a login in order to see whatever it is, which shows why I dislike sites like Discord so much - anybody can read anything (besides private messages) posted on these forums whether they are registered or signed in, same for places like Reddit or Twitter.
That said, as far as an official cave update goes I've not paid much attention to official updates for years; even if they did make a cave update I'd never abandon the hundreds if not thousands of hours I've spent on my own version, which includes my own modifications to the underground. Maybe they will actually fix some long-standing bugs though; they supposedly fixed the 1.8+ chunk swapping bug (I'll believe it when there are no longer any reports of this widespread issue), but how about fixing smooth lighting, including darkness not actually being dark? Or bringing resource usage back to what it was in 1.6.4 (where even then I've made order-of-magnitude improvements to CPU and memory usage; I just implemented another fix that reduced memory usage by 6 MB in one case - interestingly enough, by using a byte array instead of an array of objects in a biome cache (an array of bytes takes up far less space than an array of object pointers, 4-8 bytes each even if they all refer to a single instance; a big reason why newer versions use so much memory is because they no longer use numerical IDs at all, even for memory-intensive areas like mass storage of millions of blocks; I can use 20 chunk render distance with only 512 MB allocated, which probably isn't enough to get 1.14 to even launch).
The bees came as a surprise to me. They are cute, but they don‘t satisfy any need, and I can take them or leave them. I never noticed any of the bugs that have been fixed in 1.15 so far.
Removed the last two posts in this thread. Please do not post unsubstantiated rumors from unofficial, dodgy sources.

They're like flying watermelons.

Yes, they definitely have to be smaller than parrots, they are just a little overweight.

Well, what do you expect - they eat honey all the time, it's pure sugar!
I'll wait for Minecon in a month's time before I decide, the bees - I don't really care to be honest.

So... when I open the Minecraft launcher there is no 1.15 option to download it. I play on java edition on a Mac. If you can help please respond
It won't be labeled 1.15, it's snapshot 19w34a.

Figured it was time for a change.

Yes. We've known that since May.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
