I hope everyone is well and healthy and enjoying the new features and changes. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ll be playing Pigstep in my house nonstop. You should listen for yourself!</p>

<ul>
<li>Added bastion remnants</li>
<li>Added ruined portals</li>

<h2><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/java-edition-snapshot-20w16a-20w17a-1.png" alt width="1458" height="450"><br />BASTION REMNANTS</h2>
<p>What’s made of blackstone and full of Piglins and Hoglins? Bastion remnants!</p>
<ul>
<li>Added 4 separate bastion remnant types: bridge, Hoglin stable, housing units, and treasure room</li>
<li>You can find these sizable structures in all biomes in the Nether except the treacherous ash-dusted towers of basalt deltas</li>
<li>Explore, loot, and conquer a bastion remnant to call it your home… but beware, Piglins don’t take kindly to intruders stealing their things</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/java-edition-snapshot-20w16a-20w17a-2.png" alt width="500" height="378"></p>
<h2>RUINED PORTALS</h2>
<p>Shattered remains of ancient nether portals. Wonder who built them?</p>
<ul>
<li>They can be found in any overworld or nether biome</li>
<li>Some are hidden underground, under the sea, or buried in sand</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Increased the amount of lava pools to make the deltas more “deltary”</li>
<li>The Piglin banner pattern can now be found in bastions</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Added a button in the GUI that generates a jigsaw structure starting from the jigsaw block, using given generation depth.</li>
<li>Expanded the max size per axis of Structure Blocks from 32 to 48</li>
<li>Added a JMX MBean to monitor dedicated server tick times</li>
</ul>
<h2>JMX MONITORING</h2>
<p>It is now possible to monitor the server tick times though JMX.<br />The rationale for this is that JMX is a well known and supported monitoring technology with existing integrations and tools.</p>
<p>This enables server admins to hook alerts and graphing tools using ordinary JMX clients and dashboards.</p>
<h3>ENABLING JMX MONITORING</h3>
<ul>
<li>A new flag <span class="bedrock-server">enable-jmx-monitoring</span> has been added to the server.properties file which if set to <span class="bedrock-server">true</span> will expose an MBean with the Object name <span class="bedrock-server">net.minecraft.server:type=Server</span> and two attributes <span class="bedrock-server">averageTickTime</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">tickTimes</span> exposing the tick times in milliseconds.</li>
<li>In order for enabling JMX on the Java runtime you also need to add a couple of JVM flags to the startup as documented <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html">here</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-37557">MC-37557</a> – Sometimes a minecart sound plays/subtitle shown when loading a world</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-91163">MC-91163</a> – Certain subtitles show up when the player is too far away to hear the sound</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-154617">MC-154617</a> – Server hangs on stop due to rcon</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-171020">MC-171020</a> – New nether biomes don’t work properly in buffet worlds</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-175919">MC-175919</a> – Villagers sometimes stop farming</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-177136">MC-177136</a> – All compasses and lodestone compasses point to the same target, regardless of what type of compass it is</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-177238">MC-177238</a> – Windows symbolic link in saves/ is no longer followed as of 20w14a</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-177253">MC-177253</a> – Running a set_attributes function throws java.lang.NullPointerException if it contains an undefined attribute</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-177316">MC-177316</a> – Lodestone compass in item frame does not update after turning</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-178368">MC-178368</a> – When rotating a lodestone compass is put in the item frame the compass don’t work</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/java-edition-snapshot-20w16a-20w17a-3.png" alt width="431" height="108"></p>
<ul>
<li>Added an Entity Distance scale option ranging from 50% to 500%</li>
<li>Difficulty and game rules can now be changed from “Create World” screen</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Improved Smithing Table UI</li>
<li>Ruined Portals now spawn less frequently</li>
<li>Renamed “Soul Fire Torch” and “Soul Fire Lantern” to “Soul Torch” and “Soul Lantern”</li>
<li>Tweaked Bastion Remnant loot</li>
<li>Walls now create posts under more things, like pressure plates and banners</li>
<li>The “Singleplayer” button will jump directly to “Create World” screen if there are no worlds to select</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Chat component style can now select font</li>
<li>Block storage format in chunks slightly changed to speed up various tasks (rendering, pathfinding, world generation, etc)</li>
<li>Full range of Unicode characters is supported (some may know what that means ?)</li>
<li>Added the <span class="bedrock-server">attribute</span> command</li>
</ul>
<h2>WORLD SAVE FORMAT</h2>
<ul>
<li>Saving level.dat now uses randomly-named temporary files (instead of using level.dat_new every time)</li>
<li>player/*.dat are now saved in a way similar to level.dat (including leaving .dat_old files)</li>
</ul>
<h2>BLOCK STORAGE</h2>
<p><span class="bedrock-server">BlockStates</span> in <span class="bedrock-server">Sections</span> elements no longer contain values stretching over multiple 64-bit fields. If number of bits per block is not power of two (i.e. single 64-bit value can’t fill whole number of blockstates) some bits will not be used.</p>
<p>For example, if single block state takes 5 bits, highest 4 bits of every 64-bit field will be unused. That also means slight increase in storage size (in case of 5 bits, from 320 to 342 64-bit fields).</p>
