Minecraft snapshot 24w45a patch notes: Mob changes, eyeblossom changes, and more

On November 6, 2024, Mojang released Minecraft Snapshot 24w45a for Java Edition, featuring significant changes to how mobs pick up items like armor and how bees interact with Eyeblossoms, as well as parity updates for Suspicious Stew. Since last week's Snapshot 24w44a introduced major features like the family of Resin blocks and the new Eyeblossom flowers, Snapshot 24w45a brings fewer new features to Java Edition. However, it still includes plenty of exciting changes and bug fixes.

Here are the patch notes for Minecraft Snapshot 24w45a, as disclosed by the developers.
