A new Minecraft snapshot is out that adds some new features like rotatable bark and fixes plenty of bugs.

The latest snapshot that's called 18w22b was release today by Mojang with some follow-up changes to yesterday's 18w22a. Nathan Adams, Minecraft developer with Mojang, tweeted the news earlier today that the update was out and shared a link to the Minecraft site where you can find the update notes.

Mojang also shared the official notes for the latest snapshot on Reddit as well the standard warning that if you don't know what you're doing with snapshots, you probably shouldn't mess with this one else you risk damaging your saves. If you do know what you're doing though, you can find instructions on installing the latest snapshot here, and the notes below explain everything that's been changed or fixed in the past two snapshots.
