Minecraft news » Snapshot 15w38a Ready for Testing!
Today's snapshot focuses a bit more on mob combat than player combat! As seen above, skeletal riders are now a thing, and they are terrifying! As if it wasn't bad enough that skeletons use aimbots, now they can chase you on horseback too!

To get snapshots, open your launcher and press the “New Profile” button. Call it “snapshots” and check the box saying “Enable experimental development snapshots” and save. To switch to the normal version, you can select it in the dropdown at the bottom left corner of the launcher. Back up your world first or run the game on in a different folder (See the “new profile” dialog).
Snapshots can corrupt your world, please backup and/or run them in a different folder from your main worlds.
