New Features

Player Skin & Name Reporting

We are making some important updates to our Player Reporting Tool to better protect the online safety of our players.

Playing Minecraft should be an inclusive and safe experience for everyone, which is why alongside in-game chat messages, you will now be able to report player skins and usernames that violate our Community Standards in Java Edition.

Just like with chat reports, nothing is automated. Any reported skin or username will be reviewed manually by a team of trained Minecraft moderators, who will use the submitted evidence to decide whether the skin and/or username is in breach of our Community Standards. Skins that violate these standards will be removed from Minecraft and will no longer be accessible for use by any player. Usernames that violate these standards will need to be changed before that player can play online via a shared server or Realm; though single-player mode will still be accessible. To find out more about this and other safety policies, including more detail on the suspension procedure, appeals process, and how we handle malicious or repeat reporting, please visit our dedicated FAQ page.
  • Player Skins and Names can now be reported in the Social Interactions Screen

  • If a skin or name is reported and found to be violating the Community Standards, our team of human moderators can take action in a few ways:
    • Ban the skin from being used by any player

    • Ban the name from being used by any player

    • Suspend the player from online play in the case of repeated offenses

  • When a skin is banned, players with that skin:
    • Will have their skin removed

    • Will be notified when they launch the game

    • Will be automatically assigned one of the default skins

    • Can still play multiplayer and singleplayer

    • Can select a new custom skin at any time

  • When a player’s name is banned, that player:
    • Will need to choose a new name

    • Will be notified when they launch the game

    • Will not be able to play online until they change their name

    • Can still play singleplayer

  • A skin or name that has been banned cannot be used by any player in the future

Changes
  • The calculations to determine whether a mob can attack a player or other mobs have been changed

  • Diamond Ore is now generated more frequently in the Deepslate layers of the Overworld

  • Optimizations to networked play

  • Curing a Zombie Villager now only gives a big discount the first time
    • There is no longer a bonus discount for reinfecting and curing the same Villager multiple times

  • Sponges and Wet Sponges now have their own custom sounds

  • Barrier blocks can now be waterlogged by players in Creative mode
    • Water cannot be placed in them or taken out by non-direct interactions such as Dispensers

  • The positions that all entities ride on other entities have been adjusted to make more sense

  • Added the “Narrator Hotkey” accessibility option (default on)
    • The narrator can be toggled on and off with Ctrl+B when this is on

  • Added “I want to report them” Player Reporting category

  • Removed Herobrine

Mob Attack Reach Changes

The calculations to determine whether a mob can attack a player or other mobs have been changed. Previously a mob’s horizontal width was used to determine their attack reach and their height had no effect. The area where a mob can attack is now their bounding box extended in horizontal directions.

Here are some situations where the new rules will affect the reach of mobs:
  • If a mob is entirely below you, or entirely above you, it will not be able to reach you

  • While riding on a medium-sized mob, like a Horse, you will be protected from small mobs, like Baby Zombies

  • While riding on a tall mob, like a Camel, you will be protected from standard-size mobs, like Zombies

  • Also, Ravagers won’t be able to attack you through a few block-thick walls anymore

  • However, to escape from an Enderman, you need to be at least 3 blocks above the ground, not 1.5 as before

  • Mobs will be able to attack you with the bottom of their hitbox, assuming your head is in range

  • Builds that trap hostile mobs might need to be adjusted to be safe

This change does not affect the reach of players, and mobs still need to see their target to attack it.

Networked Play

The Multiplayer mode of the game has been optimized to enable more fluid online play. If you have previously experienced disconnections or slow loading into online servers, this version may significantly improve that experience.
  • The game world will now show earlier instead of the loading screen while loading into a world on a server

  • Clients with extremely low-bandwidth connections will not time out while loading the world

  • Clients with low-bandwidth connections can interact with the world while some chunks are still loading

Vibrations
  • Vibrations no longer risk being lost on simulation distance limit

  • Using Bone Meal emits an item_interact_finish vibration of frequency 3

  • Unequipping items emit a new unequip vibration of frequency 4

  • Camels eating Cactus emit an eat vibration of frequency 8

  • Carrots being eaten by Rabbits emit a block_change vibration of frequency 11

  • Sweet Berries being eaten by Foxes emit a block_change vibration of frequency 11

  • Chiseled Bookshelves emit a block_change vibration of frequency 11 when receiving books from Hoppers

  • Turtle Eggs cracking emit a block_change vibration of frequency 11

  • Turtle Eggs hatching emit a block_destroy vibration of frequency 12

  • Fire being doused by Water Potion emits a block_destroy vibration of frequency 12

  • Evokers evoking Vexes or Fangs emit an entity_place vibration of frequency 14

Miscellaneous Minor Tweaks
  • Chorus Flower no longer provides support for hanging or standing blocks

  • Updated structure icons on Explorer Maps sold by Cartographers

  • When Villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic

  • The sizes of text fields in the user interface are now consistent with the size of buttons

  • You now need a taller pillar to escape taller mobs.

  • Rabbits eating Carrots now trigger Sculk Sensors

Technical Changes
  • The resource pack version is now 18

  • The data pack version is now 18

  • History of used commands is now saved and accessible across worlds

  • Optimized networking to improve the experience on low bandwidth connections

  • Added support for multi-version packs

  • Changed network protocol to allow for more data-driven content in the future

  • Added new log-ips option to server.properties

  • Added validation for symbolic links in datapacks and resource packs

  • When hitboxes are displayed through F3+B, entities that have a passenger will display the passenger’s attachment point

  • The charts on the debug screen can now be toggled with F3+1 (pie chart) and F3+2 (FPS and TPS) instead of holding Shift or Alt while opening the screen

  • Pressing F3+3 will now show charts for ping and received network traffic on the debug screen

  • The LWJGL library has been upgraded to version 3.3.2

  • The default Java version shipped with the game has been upgraded to Microsoft OpenJDK 17.0.8

Command History
  • The last 50 commands that you sent in chat will be remembered across game sessions

  • You can access the command and chat history by pressing the up or down arrows in the chat

  • Regular chat is only persisted within the same game session (leaving a server or world clears them)

  • Recent commands are stored in command_history.txt in the game folder

Network Optimizations
  • Gameplay packets are now packed into bigger TCP packets to reduce overhead from TCP headers, significantly reducing network usage

  • Chunks are not sent over the network to the client in one big continuous batch anymore

  • Chunks are instead sent in smaller batches depending on the available bandwidth, meaning that:
    • Clients with extremely low-bandwidth connections will not time out while loading the world

    • Clients with low-bandwidth connections can interact with the world while some chunks are still loading

  • Only chunks within the client’s render distance are now sent

Multi-Version Packs

New features have been added to datapacks and resource packs to allow the creation of packs that are compatible with multiple versions of the game.

Pack Metadata
  • Pack metadata now includes an optional field supported_formats which describes a range for pack formats that this pack supports
    • Examples: 16, [16,17], {“min_inclusive”: 16, “max_inclusive”: 17}

  • pack_format field is still required and its format remains unchanged, to allow older game versions to read pack data
    • If supported_formats is present, it must contain the value declared in pack_format

    • Note: since this new information is ignored by older versions of the game, they will always see a “normal”, single-version pack, without any extended compatibility

Overlays
  • Packs can now contain overlay directories (“overlays”)

  • Overlays are sub-packs applied over the “normal” contents of a pack
    • These directories have the same layout as the top-level pack, including the assets and data directories

    • Overlays can be applied if they support the client’s pack format

    • Overlays can add and replace files, but not remove them
      • For example, if the overlay foo is applied, the file foo/assets/minecraft/textures/bar.png will replace the contents of assets/minecraft/textures/bar.png

    • pack.mcmeta and pack.png are ignored in overlay directories

  • New section called overlays has been added to pack metadata
    • It contains an entries field, containing a list of overlays

    • Every overlay entry has two fields:
      • formats – range of supported formats

      • directory – overlay directory (allowed characters: a-z, 0-9, _ and –)

  • Order of application: overlays are stacked from the bottom to top of the list
    • For example, if a pack has two overlays: “entries”: [{“directory”:”A”, …}, {“directory”:”B”, …}], the game will first look in B, then A and then in the top pack directory

Symbolic Link Validation

To improve safety, the game will now also detect symbolic links used inside data- and resource packs.
  • This feature expands on symbolic link validation in worlds added in the previous release

  • The game will now warn users if a pack added via drag and drop contains disallowed symbolic links

  • Packs containing disallowed symbolic links will not be visible in UI and commands

  • Additionally, directories and files that are not recognized as packs will no longer be copied via drag-and-drop

  • For a detailed explanation, see this help article

Network Protocol

As part of ongoing work towards more data-driven features, the network protocol has been changed to include a new configuration phase.
  • Configuration phase automatically starts after login phase (i.e. after client account has been verified) and lasts until the player joins the world (play phase)

  • Clients can stay in configuration phase indefinitely – it’s up to the server to release it to the world

  • Servers can also request clients to re-enter the configuration phase after it has entered the play phase
    • Other players will see such clients as disconnected

  • Users in configuration phase will not be visible on the player list

  • Actions allowed in configuration phase (moved from play phase):
    • Configuration of data-driven registries

    • Configuration of enabled features

  • Actions shared between configuration and play phases:
    • Application of server resource packs

    • Update of tags

    • Exchange of custom packets

    • Ping and keep-alive packets

    • Sending of client options

  • The server will now negotiate resource packs in the configuration phase
    • This means that the player will no longer be in the world when answering prompts and reloading resources

Secure Chat
  • Clients will no longer disconnect themselves when receiving an invalid chat message
    • A placeholder message will instead be shown in chat

server.properties
  • New option: log-ips (default true)
    • When set to false, will prevent player IPs from being included in the log when players join the game

Telemetry
  • Added a button to the Telemetry Data Collection Screen that links to the Microsoft Privacy Statement

Resource Pack Version 16
  • The process of upgrading your pack can be assisted by using this automated Slicer tool

  • All textures containing multiple sprites in a sheet for GUI have been split into individual sprites under textures/gui/sprites (automated by the Slicer tool)

  • All textures in the realms namespace have been moved into the Minecraft namespace (automated by the Slicer tool)

  • villager2.png has been renamed to villager.png (automated by the Slicer tool)

  • icon/trial_available and realm_status/expires_soon GUI sprites are animated with .mcmeta declarations instead of individual sprites (automated by the Slicer tool)

  • The Bundle tooltip background is now drawn as a nine-sliced sprite

  • The icons for the Accessibility, Language, and Realms News buttons have been split from their underlying button texture

  • The Realms Invite button is now drawn as an overlay on the normal button texture
    • The highlighted texture state for this button has been removed

  • The highlighted states for Realms invitation number icons have been removed

  • The exclamation marks on the notification\more.png have been removed

GUI Sprite Sheet
  • Sprites used in GUI drawing have been split into individual sprite files instead of larger sprite sheets
    • For example, widgets/button.png and widgets/button_highlighted.png have been split from widgets.png

  • Each sprite can now be individually overridden by a resource pack instead of replacing the entire sheet

  • Sprites are loaded into the GUI atlas from the textures/gui/sprites directory

GUI Sprite .mcmeta
  • Any sprite used in the GUI can now be animated using .mcmeta files, similar to other atlases
    • icon/trial_available and realm_status/expires_soon are now animated this way

  • Sprites in the GUI atlas can now configure scaling behavior through a new GUI section in .mcmeta files
    • For example, button textures must be scaled based on how big the button should be

    • The GUI section in .mcmeta contains one scaling field:
      • type: one of: stretch (default), tile, or nine_slice

      • When stretched, the sprite will be stretched across the desired space
        • No additional fields need to be defined

      • When tile, the sprite will be repeated across the desired space, starting from the top-left
        • width: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its width

        • height: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its height

      • When nine_slice, the sprite will be sliced into 4 corners, 4 edges, and 1 center slice, which will be tiled across the desired space
        • width: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its width

        • height: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its height

        • border: the size in pixels that the border slices should cover on-screen, one of:
          • Constant integer for uniform border size on all sides

          • Object containing left, top, right, and bottom

Resource Pack Version 17
  • The text field background is now a nine-sliced sprite at widget/text_field and widget/text_field_highlighted

  • The scroll bar in lists and text fields is now a nine-sliced sprite at widget/scroller

Resource Pack Version 18
  • The map_icons.png texture now contains new icons

DATA Pack Version 16
  • Gamerule randomTickSpeed now affects the rate of accumulation of Snow and Ice the same way it affects crops and other blocks affected by random ticking

  • Added a random command

  • Added support for function macros

  • Changed Display entities’ post-teleport interpolation

  • Added new attribute generic.max_absorption

  • Renamed belowName value in display slot argument in scoreboard command to below_name

  • Game event changes

  • New tags

Commands

Random

A new command for randomizing values and controlling random sequences. The value and roll forms can be used to draw a random value. In the case of roll, the resulting value is also shown in chat for all players.

Syntax:

Code:
random value|roll <range> [<sequenceId>]
Code:
random reset *|<sequenceId> [<seed>] [<includeWorldSeed>] [<includeSequenceId>]

Parameters:

  • range: A range of values to randomize between, inclusively
    • For instance, 1..6 is a regular D6 roll

  • sequenceId: The name of a random sequence to sample or reset

  • seed: A seed to use for the random sequence after reset

  • includeWorldSeed: A boolean [default: true] specifying whether to include the world seed when seeding the sequence
    • false means the sequence will evaluate to the same regardless of which world the command is run in

  • includeSequenceId: A boolean [default: true] specifying whether to include the sequence ID when seeding the sequence
    • false means all sequences will evaluate to the same regardless of which name they have


By default, all sequences are seeded as 0, true, true. Using * instead of a sequence ID resets all sequences and sets the default parameters.


If no seed is specified, the sequence resets to the default parameters.


Note that random value|roll  used without a sequence ID is available to non-operator players.

Functions

  • A single backslash \ as the last non-whitespace character of a line now allows a command to be continued on the next line
    • Leading and trailing whitespace of the following line are stripped before appending

Macros


Functions can now contain macro lines, making them Function Macros.

  • Any line beginning with $ (as the first non-space character) marks a macro line

  • A macro line also contains one or more substitutions in the form of $(variable)

  • When calling a function macro a compound with data for all argument variables must be provided

Calling Function Macros


The function command has new forms:


function function with []


New Arguments:

  • compound: A data compound, enclosed in {}

  • data source: A data source specification, like what could already be used for data get

  • path: An NBT path specification


Notes:

  • The data source and path must specify a compound data entry

  • The compound must contain one entry for each variable used in the macro

  • More data may be present in the compound and if so is ignored

  • Calling a non-macro function with a data compound is silently ignored

  • When a macro is called, the values provided are substituted in place of the variable specifications, and the resulting commands are executed

  • Any syntax errors in the lines resulting from variable substitution result in the entire function call being skipped

Performance Considerations


Using a macro means commands must be re-evaluated after variable substitution. This has an extra cost compared to running pre-parsed functions.


Regular commands (non-macro lines) are still pre-parsed. Only commands with variable substitutions in them are parsed when a macro is called and the game will attempt to cache the result of a certain parameter set being used in a call.


This makes repeated calls with the same parameter set cheaper than new calls with different parameters, but an overhead still remains compared to regular functions. Note that only the values referenced by macro as parameters are included in this cache, so any extra data in the provided compound is ignored.

Display Entity Interpolation

  • Display entities now start updating their client-side position and rotation on the first tick after an update
    • In previous versions, updates were applied in the same tick, causing uneven motion

    • The new behavior is similar to Armor Stands, mobs, and players

  • On the server, position and rotation are still updated immediately

  • The duration of this interpolation is controlled by the field teleport_duration
    • 0 means that updates are applied immediately

    • 1 means that the Display Entity will move from the current position to the updated one-over-one tick

    • Higher values spread the movement over multiple ticks

    • Please note that this value is clamped to avoid glitches due to periodic position updates

    • The new value will apply only to position and rotation changes made after it changed
      • That means any current movement will continue unchanged

  • Note: behavior while riding remains unchanged from previous versions

Attributes

  • Added new attribute generic.max_absorption
    • generic.max_absorption acts similarly to generic.max_health, but instead of being the upper bound for Health, it is the upper bound for AbsorptionAmount

    • The mob effect absorption increases generic.max_absorption as well as fills the AbsorptionAmount to the max when applied

Game Events

  • entity_roar and entity_shake game events have been removed and replaced with entity_action game event

Tags

  • Added no_knockback damage type tag which causes knockback to not be caused by the damage itself
    • Used in Vanilla for damage that is caused by events, such as explosions, which apply knockback separately

  • Added non_controlling_rider to represent entities that don’t override their vehicle’s movement control

  • Added concrete_powder block tag for Concrete Powder blocks

  • Added camel_sand_step_sound_blocks block tag for blocks that produce entity.camel.step_sand sound

DATA Pack Version 17

  • Changed mob effect storage on items, entities, and block entities

  • Added decal field to armor trim patterns (default: false)
    • If true, the pattern texture will be masked based on the underlying armor

Mob Effect Storage Changes

  • The game no longer uses numeric values when storing mob effects to a world (so, for example, 4 becomes minecraft:mining_fatigue)

  • Various mob effect fields have been renamed for consistency with new structures

Mob Effect Instance


This structure is used in many places, so its changes are described separately.

  • Id -> id, also changed from number to string id

  • Ambient -> ambient

  • Amplifier -> amplifier

  • Duration -> duration

  • ShowParticles -> show_particles

  • ShowIcon -> show_icon

  • HiddenEffect -> hidden_effect, also since it’s mob effect instance, changes apply recursively

  • FactorCalculationData -> factor_calculation_data

Items

potion, lingering_potion, splash_potion, tipped_arrow

  • CustomPotionEffects -> custom_potion_effects, contents transformed as a list of mob effect instances

suspicous_stew

  • Effects -> effects, for each entry:
    • EffectId -> id, also changed from number to string id

    • EffectDuration -> duration

Entities

mooshroom

  • Removed EffectId and EffectDuration

  • Added stew_effects with the same format as suspicious_stew.effects tag (i.e. list of effect id and duration)

area_effect_cloud

  • Effects -> effects, contents transformed as a list of mob effect instances

arrow

  • CustomPotionEffects -> custom_potion_effects, contents transformed as a list of mob effect instances

Players, Armor Stands, and mobs

  • ActiveEffects -> active_effects, contents transformed as a list of mob effect instances

Block Entities


beacon

  • Primary -> primary_effect, also changed from number to string id

  • Secondary -> secondary_effect, also changed from number to string id

Loot Tables

  • Added sequence loot function
    • Contains 1 field:
      • functions: an array of sub-functions to run in sequence

    • Can also be declared as an inline array without a type
      • This matches the existing behavior where loot function JSON files can be declared as an array of composite functions

  • all_of predicates in loot tables can now be declared implicitly as an inline array without a type
    • This similarly matches the existing behavior where loot predicate JSON files can be declared as an array of sub-predicates

  • Block or fluid state property matches in loot conditions no longer accept non-string values
    • Any number or boolean value in a property matcher must be quoted

DATA Pack Version 18


This data pack version removes the execute if function and return run functionality that existed for a time during the development of this version. Flaws with those commands (see bugs MC-264595, MC-264699, and MC-264710) require some substantial changes to fix, which we do not want to make close to a release.


These commands will instead be reintroduced early in the next snapshot series when we can take the time to iterate on and test them together with pack makers.

  • Removed execute if|unless function command form

  • Removed return run command form

  • Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type

  • Added game rule enderPearlsVanishOnDeath, controlling whether thrown Ender Pearls vanish when the player that threw them dies (default true, which matches the existing behavior in previous versions)

  • Added damage type tag always_kills_armor_stands for damage types that should always fully kill an Armor Stand

Experimental Features

Villager Trade Rebalance


The Experiments screen when creating a world now has an option to enable the Villager Trade Rebalance. When this option is selected, some Villager trades will change.


This experiment does not affect normal worlds. You can find more information about Feature Toggles here.

Librarian Changes

  • Librarians from different biomes now sell different Enchanted Books

  • Each village biome has one special enchantment that is only available from Master Librarians with full XP

  • This means that players must visit all seven village biomes to get the full set of villager enchantments

  • There are two secret village biomes where villages do not generate
    • A player must build these villages to access their trades!

  • Some enchantments have been removed from village trading and must be found in other ways

Cartographer Changes

  • Cartographers can now sell seven new Explorer Maps
    • Five new maps show the way to five different types of village

    • The other two new maps show the way to a Swamp Hut and a Jungle Temple

  • Cartographers from different biomes now sell a different range of maps

Wandering Trader Changes

  • Wandering Traders now have lower prices and have a higher amount of each item in stock

  • Wandering Traders now sell Logs

  • Wandering Traders can now buy many items, instead of only selling

Armorer Changes

  • Armorer from different biomes now sell different Armor with different enchantments

  • Buying Diamond Armor now requires a small amount of Diamonds as well as Emeralds

  • Many other Armorer trades have been updated

Structure Loot


Certain Enchanted Books now have a high chance of generating in some structures:

  • Ancient Cities: Mending

  • Mineshafts: Efficiency (I to V)

  • Pillager Outposts: Quick Charge (I to III)

  • Desert Temples: Unbreaking (I to III)

  • Jungle Temples: Unbreaking (I to III)

]]> News - JAVA Edition: 1.20.2 Is Here!

New Features

Player Skin & Name Reporting

We are making some important updates to our Player Reporting Tool to better protect the online safety of our players.

Playing Minecraft should be an inclusive and safe experience for everyone, which is why alongside in-game chat messages, you will now be able to report player skins and usernames that violate our Community Standards in Java Edition.

Just like with chat reports, nothing is automated. Any reported skin or username will be reviewed manually by a team of trained Minecraft moderators, who will use the submitted evidence to decide whether the skin and/or username is in breach of our Community Standards. Skins that violate these standards will be removed from Minecraft and will no longer be accessible for use by any player. Usernames that violate these standards will need to be changed before that player can play online via a shared server or Realm; though single-player mode will still be accessible. To find out more about this and other safety policies, including more detail on the suspension procedure, appeals process, and how we handle malicious or repeat reporting, please visit our dedicated FAQ page.
  • Player Skins and Names can now be reported in the Social Interactions Screen

  • If a skin or name is reported and found to be violating the Community Standards, our team of human moderators can take action in a few ways:
    • Ban the skin from being used by any player

    • Ban the name from being used by any player

    • Suspend the player from online play in the case of repeated offenses

  • When a skin is banned, players with that skin:
    • Will have their skin removed

    • Will be notified when they launch the game

    • Will be automatically assigned one of the default skins

    • Can still play multiplayer and singleplayer

    • Can select a new custom skin at any time

  • When a player’s name is banned, that player:
    • Will need to choose a new name

    • Will be notified when they launch the game

    • Will not be able to play online until they change their name

    • Can still play singleplayer

  • A skin or name that has been banned cannot be used by any player in the future

Changes
  • The calculations to determine whether a mob can attack a player or other mobs have been changed

  • Diamond Ore is now generated more frequently in the Deepslate layers of the Overworld

  • Optimizations to networked play

  • Curing a Zombie Villager now only gives a big discount the first time
    • There is no longer a bonus discount for reinfecting and curing the same Villager multiple times

  • Sponges and Wet Sponges now have their own custom sounds

  • Barrier blocks can now be waterlogged by players in Creative mode
    • Water cannot be placed in them or taken out by non-direct interactions such as Dispensers

  • The positions that all entities ride on other entities have been adjusted to make more sense

  • Added the “Narrator Hotkey” accessibility option (default on)
    • The narrator can be toggled on and off with Ctrl+B when this is on

  • Added “I want to report them” Player Reporting category

  • Removed Herobrine

Mob Attack Reach Changes

The calculations to determine whether a mob can attack a player or other mobs have been changed. Previously a mob’s horizontal width was used to determine their attack reach and their height had no effect. The area where a mob can attack is now their bounding box extended in horizontal directions.

Here are some situations where the new rules will affect the reach of mobs:
  • If a mob is entirely below you, or entirely above you, it will not be able to reach you

  • While riding on a medium-sized mob, like a Horse, you will be protected from small mobs, like Baby Zombies

  • While riding on a tall mob, like a Camel, you will be protected from standard-size mobs, like Zombies

  • Also, Ravagers won’t be able to attack you through a few block-thick walls anymore

  • However, to escape from an Enderman, you need to be at least 3 blocks above the ground, not 1.5 as before

  • Mobs will be able to attack you with the bottom of their hitbox, assuming your head is in range

  • Builds that trap hostile mobs might need to be adjusted to be safe

This change does not affect the reach of players, and mobs still need to see their target to attack it.

Networked Play

The Multiplayer mode of the game has been optimized to enable more fluid online play. If you have previously experienced disconnections or slow loading into online servers, this version may significantly improve that experience.
  • The game world will now show earlier instead of the loading screen while loading into a world on a server

  • Clients with extremely low-bandwidth connections will not time out while loading the world

  • Clients with low-bandwidth connections can interact with the world while some chunks are still loading

Vibrations
  • Vibrations no longer risk being lost on simulation distance limit

  • Using Bone Meal emits an item_interact_finish vibration of frequency 3

  • Unequipping items emit a new unequip vibration of frequency 4

  • Camels eating Cactus emit an eat vibration of frequency 8

  • Carrots being eaten by Rabbits emit a block_change vibration of frequency 11

  • Updated structure icons on Explorer Maps sold by Cartographers

  • When Villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic

  • The sizes of text fields in the user interface are now consistent with the size of buttons

  • You now need a taller pillar to escape taller mobs.

  • Rabbits eating Carrots now trigger Sculk Sensors

Technical Changes
  • The resource pack version is now 18

  • The data pack version is now 18

  • History of used commands is now saved and accessible across worlds

  • Optimized networking to improve the experience on low bandwidth connections

  • Added support for multi-version packs

  • Changed network protocol to allow for more data-driven content in the future

  • Added new log-ips option to server.properties

  • Added validation for symbolic links in datapacks and resource packs

  • When hitboxes are displayed through F3+B, entities that have a passenger will display the passenger’s attachment point

  • The charts on the debug screen can now be toggled with F3+1 (pie chart) and F3+2 (FPS and TPS) instead of holding Shift or Alt while opening the screen

  • Pressing F3+3 will now show charts for ping and received network traffic on the debug screen

  • The LWJGL library has been upgraded to version 3.3.2

  • The default Java version shipped with the game has been upgraded to Microsoft OpenJDK 17.0.8

Command History
  • The last 50 commands that you sent in chat will be remembered across game sessions

  • You can access the command and chat history by pressing the up or down arrows in the chat

  • Regular chat is only persisted within the same game session (leaving a server or world clears them)

  • Recent commands are stored in command_history.txt in the game folder

Network Optimizations
  • Gameplay packets are now packed into bigger TCP packets to reduce overhead from TCP headers, significantly reducing network usage

  • Chunks are not sent over the network to the client in one big continuous batch anymore

  • Chunks are instead sent in smaller batches depending on the available bandwidth, meaning that:
    • Clients with extremely low-bandwidth connections will not time out while loading the world

    • Clients with low-bandwidth connections can interact with the world while some chunks are still loading

  • Only chunks within the client’s render distance are now sent

Multi-Version Packs

New features have been added to datapacks and resource packs to allow the creation of packs that are compatible with multiple versions of the game.

Pack Metadata
  • Pack metadata now includes an optional field supported_formats which describes a range for pack formats that this pack supports
    • Examples: 16, [16,17], {“min_inclusive”: 16, “max_inclusive”: 17}

  • pack_format field is still required and its format remains unchanged, to allow older game versions to read pack data
    • If supported_formats is present, it must contain the value declared in pack_format

    • Note: since this new information is ignored by older versions of the game, they will always see a “normal”, single-version pack, without any extended compatibility

Overlays
  • Packs can now contain overlay directories (“overlays”)

  • Overlays are sub-packs applied over the “normal” contents of a pack
    • These directories have the same layout as the top-level pack, including the assets and data directories

    • Overlays can be applied if they support the client’s pack format

    • Overlays can add and replace files, but not remove them
      • For example, if the overlay foo is applied, the file foo/assets/minecraft/textures/bar.png will replace the contents of assets/minecraft/textures/bar.png

    • pack.mcmeta and pack.png are ignored in overlay directories

  • New section called overlays has been added to pack metadata
    • It contains an entries field, containing a list of overlays

    • Every overlay entry has two fields:
      • formats – range of supported formats

      • directory – overlay directory (allowed characters: a-z, 0-9, _ and –)

  • Order of application: overlays are stacked from the bottom to top of the list
    • For example, if a pack has two overlays: “entries”: [{“directory”:”A”, …}, {“directory”:”B”, …}], the game will first look in B, then A and then in the top pack directory

Symbolic Link Validation

To improve safety, the game will now also detect symbolic links used inside data- and resource packs.
  • This feature expands on symbolic link validation in worlds added in the previous release

  • The game will now warn users if a pack added via drag and drop contains disallowed symbolic links

  • Packs containing disallowed symbolic links will not be visible in UI and commands

  • Additionally, directories and files that are not recognized as packs will no longer be copied via drag-and-drop

  • For a detailed explanation, see this help article

Network Protocol

As part of ongoing work towards more data-driven features, the network protocol has been changed to include a new configuration phase.
  • Configuration phase automatically starts after login phase (i.e. after client account has been verified) and lasts until the player joins the world (play phase)

  • Clients can stay in configuration phase indefinitely – it’s up to the server to release it to the world

  • Servers can also request clients to re-enter the configuration phase after it has entered the play phase
    • Other players will see such clients as disconnected

  • Users in configuration phase will not be visible on the player list

  • Actions allowed in configuration phase (moved from play phase):
    • Configuration of data-driven registries

    • Configuration of enabled features

  • Actions shared between configuration and play phases:
    • Application of server resource packs

    • Update of tags

    • Exchange of custom packets

    • Ping and keep-alive packets

    • Sending of client options

  • The server will now negotiate resource packs in the configuration phase
    • This means that the player will no longer be in the world when answering prompts and reloading resources

Secure Chat
  • Clients will no longer disconnect themselves when receiving an invalid chat message
    • A placeholder message will instead be shown in chat

server.properties
  • New option: log-ips (default true)
    • When set to false, will prevent player IPs from being included in the log when players join the game

Telemetry
  • Added a button to the Telemetry Data Collection Screen that links to the Microsoft Privacy Statement

Resource Pack Version 16
  • The process of upgrading your pack can be assisted by using this automated Slicer tool

  • All textures containing multiple sprites in a sheet for GUI have been split into individual sprites under textures/gui/sprites (automated by the Slicer tool)

  • All textures in the realms namespace have been moved into the Minecraft namespace (automated by the Slicer tool)

  • villager2.png has been renamed to villager.png (automated by the Slicer tool)

  • icon/trial_available and realm_status/expires_soon GUI sprites are animated with .mcmeta declarations instead of individual sprites (automated by the Slicer tool)

  • The Bundle tooltip background is now drawn as a nine-sliced sprite

  • The icons for the Accessibility, Language, and Realms News buttons have been split from their underlying button texture

  • The Realms Invite button is now drawn as an overlay on the normal button texture
    • The highlighted texture state for this button has been removed

  • The highlighted states for Realms invitation number icons have been removed

  • The exclamation marks on the notification\more.png have been removed

GUI Sprite Sheet
  • Sprites used in GUI drawing have been split into individual sprite files instead of larger sprite sheets
    • For example, widgets/button.png and widgets/button_highlighted.png have been split from widgets.png

  • Each sprite can now be individually overridden by a resource pack instead of replacing the entire sheet

  • Sprites are loaded into the GUI atlas from the textures/gui/sprites directory

GUI Sprite .mcmeta
  • Any sprite used in the GUI can now be animated using .mcmeta files, similar to other atlases
    • icon/trial_available and realm_status/expires_soon are now animated this way

  • Sprites in the GUI atlas can now configure scaling behavior through a new GUI section in .mcmeta files
    • For example, button textures must be scaled based on how big the button should be

    • The GUI section in .mcmeta contains one scaling field:
      • type: one of: stretch (default), tile, or nine_slice

      • When stretched, the sprite will be stretched across the desired space
        • No additional fields need to be defined

      • When tile, the sprite will be repeated across the desired space, starting from the top-left
        • width: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its width

        • height: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its height

      • When nine_slice, the sprite will be sliced into 4 corners, 4 edges, and 1 center slice, which will be tiled across the desired space
        • width: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its width

        • height: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its height

        • border: the size in pixels that the border slices should cover on-screen, one of:
          • Constant integer for uniform border size on all sides

          • Object containing left, top, right, and bottom

Resource Pack Version 17
  • The text field background is now a nine-sliced sprite at widget/text_field and widget/text_field_highlighted

  • The scroll bar in lists and text fields is now a nine-sliced sprite at widget/scroller

Resource Pack Version 18
  • The map_icons.png texture now contains new icons

DATA Pack Version 16
  • Gamerule randomTickSpeed now affects the rate of accumulation of Snow and Ice the same way it affects crops and other blocks affected by random ticking

  • Added a random command

  • Added support for function macros

  • Changed Display entities’ post-teleport interpolation

  • Added new attribute generic.max_absorption

  • Renamed belowName value in display slot argument in scoreboard command to below_name

  • Game event changes

  • New tags

Commands

Random

A new command for randomizing values and controlling random sequences. The value and roll forms can be used to draw a random value. In the case of roll, the resulting value is also shown in chat for all players.

Syntax:

Code:
random value|roll <range> [<sequenceId>]
Code:
random reset *|<sequenceId> [<seed>] [<includeWorldSeed>] [<includeSequenceId>]

Parameters:

  • range: A range of values to randomize between, inclusively
    • For instance, 1..6 is a regular D6 roll

  • sequenceId: The name of a random sequence to sample or reset

  • seed: A seed to use for the random sequence after reset

  • includeWorldSeed: A boolean [default: true] specifying whether to include the world seed when seeding the sequence
    • false means the sequence will evaluate to the same regardless of which world the command is run in

  • includeSequenceId: A boolean [default: true] specifying whether to include the sequence ID when seeding the sequence
    • false means all sequences will evaluate to the same regardless of which name they have


By default, all sequences are seeded as 0, true, true. Using * instead of a sequence ID resets all sequences and sets the default parameters.


If no seed is specified, the sequence resets to the default parameters.


Note that random value|roll  used without a sequence ID is available to non-operator players.

Functions

  • A single backslash \ as the last non-whitespace character of a line now allows a command to be continued on the next line
    • Leading and trailing whitespace of the following line are stripped before appending

Macros


Functions can now contain macro lines, making them Function Macros.

  • Any line beginning with $ (as the first non-space character) marks a macro line

  • A macro line also contains one or more substitutions in the form of $(variable)

  • When calling a function macro a compound with data for all argument variables must be provided

Calling Function Macros


The function command has new forms:


function function with []


New Arguments:

  • compound: A data compound, enclosed in {}

  • data source: A data source specification, like what could already be used for data get

  • path: An NBT path specification


Notes:

  • The data source and path must specify a compound data entry

  • The compound must contain one entry for each variable used in the macro

  • More data may be present in the compound and if so is ignored

  • Calling a non-macro function with a data compound is silently ignored

  • When a macro is called, the values provided are substituted in place of the variable specifications, and the resulting commands are executed

  • Any syntax errors in the lines resulting from variable substitution result in the entire function call being skipped

Performance Considerations


Using a macro means commands must be re-evaluated after variable substitution. This has an extra cost compared to running pre-parsed functions.


Regular commands (non-macro lines) are still pre-parsed. Only commands with variable substitutions in them are parsed when a macro is called and the game will attempt to cache the result of a certain parameter set being used in a call.


This makes repeated calls with the same parameter set cheaper than new calls with different parameters, but an overhead still remains compared to regular functions. Note that only the values referenced by macro as parameters are included in this cache, so any extra data in the provided compound is ignored.

Display Entity Interpolation

  • Display entities now start updating their client-side position and rotation on the first tick after an update
    • In previous versions, updates were applied in the same tick, causing uneven motion

    • The new behavior is similar to Armor Stands, mobs, and players

  • On the server, position and rotation are still updated immediately

  • The duration of this interpolation is controlled by the field teleport_duration
    • 0 means that updates are applied immediately

    • 1 means that the Display Entity will move from the current position to the updated one-over-one tick

    • Higher values spread the movement over multiple ticks

    • Please note that this value is clamped to avoid glitches due to periodic position updates

    • The new value will apply only to position and rotation changes made after it changed
      • That means any current movement will continue unchanged

  • Note: behavior while riding remains unchanged from previous versions

Attributes

  • Added new attribute generic.max_absorption
    • generic.max_absorption acts similarly to generic.max_health, but instead of being the upper bound for Health, it is the upper bound for AbsorptionAmount

    • The mob effect absorption increases generic.max_absorption as well as fills the AbsorptionAmount to the max when applied

Game Events

  • entity_roar and entity_shake game events have been removed and replaced with entity_action game event

Tags

  • Added no_knockback damage type tag which causes knockback to not be caused by the damage itself
    • Used in Vanilla for damage that is caused by events, such as explosions, which apply knockback separately

  • Added non_controlling_rider to represent entities that don’t override their vehicle’s movement control

  • Added concrete_powder block tag for Concrete Powder blocks

  • Added camel_sand_step_sound_blocks block tag for blocks that produce entity.camel.step_sand sound

DATA Pack Version 17

  • Changed mob effect storage on items, entities, and block entities

  • Added decal field to armor trim patterns (default: false)
    • If true, the pattern texture will be masked based on the underlying armor

Mob Effect Storage Changes

  • The game no longer uses numeric values when storing mob effects to a world (so, for example, 4 becomes minecraft:mining_fatigue)

  • Various mob effect fields have been renamed for consistency with new structures

Mob Effect Instance


This structure is used in many places, so its changes are described separately.

  • Id -> id, also changed from number to string id

  • Ambient -> ambient

  • Amplifier -> amplifier

  • Duration -> duration

  • ShowParticles -> show_particles

  • ShowIcon -> show_icon

  • HiddenEffect -> hidden_effect, also since it’s mob effect instance, changes apply recursively

  • FactorCalculationData -> factor_calculation_data

Items

potion, lingering_potion, splash_potion, tipped_arrow

  • CustomPotionEffects -> custom_potion_effects, contents transformed as a list of mob effect instances

suspicous_stew

  • Effects -> effects, for each entry:
    • EffectId -> id, also changed from number to string id

    • EffectDuration -> duration

Entities

mooshroom

  • Removed EffectId and EffectDuration

  • Added stew_effects with the same format as suspicious_stew.effects tag (i.e. list of effect id and duration)

area_effect_cloud

  • Effects -> effects, contents transformed as a list of mob effect instances

arrow

  • CustomPotionEffects -> custom_potion_effects, contents transformed as a list of mob effect instances

Players, Armor Stands, and mobs

  • ActiveEffects -> active_effects, contents transformed as a list of mob effect instances

Block Entities


beacon

  • Primary -> primary_effect, also changed from number to string id

  • Secondary -> secondary_effect, also changed from number to string id

Loot Tables

  • Added sequence loot function
    • Contains 1 field:
      • functions: an array of sub-functions to run in sequence

    • Can also be declared as an inline array without a type
      • This matches the existing behavior where loot function JSON files can be declared as an array of composite functions

  • all_of predicates in loot tables can now be declared implicitly as an inline array without a type
    • This similarly matches the existing behavior where loot predicate JSON files can be declared as an array of sub-predicates

  • Block or fluid state property matches in loot conditions no longer accept non-string values
    • Any number or boolean value in a property matcher must be quoted

DATA Pack Version 18


This data pack version removes the execute if function and return run functionality that existed for a time during the development of this version. Flaws with those commands (see bugs MC-264595, MC-264699, and MC-264710) require some substantial changes to fix, which we do not want to make close to a release.


These commands will instead be reintroduced early in the next snapshot series when we can take the time to iterate on and test them together with pack makers.

  • Removed execute if|unless function command form

  • Removed return run command form

  • Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type

  • Added game rule enderPearlsVanishOnDeath, controlling whether thrown Ender Pearls vanish when the player that threw them dies (default true, which matches the existing behavior in previous versions)

  • Added damage type tag always_kills_armor_stands for damage types that should always fully kill an Armor Stand

Experimental Features

Villager Trade Rebalance


The Experiments screen when creating a world now has an option to enable the Villager Trade Rebalance. When this option is selected, some Villager trades will change.


This experiment does not affect normal worlds. You can find more information about Feature Toggles here.

Librarian Changes

  • Librarians from different biomes now sell different Enchanted Books

  • Each village biome has one special enchantment that is only available from Master Librarians with full XP

  • This means that players must visit all seven village biomes to get the full set of villager enchantments

  • There are two secret village biomes where villages do not generate
    • A player must build these villages to access their trades!

  • Some enchantments have been removed from village trading and must be found in other ways

Cartographer Changes

  • Cartographers can now sell seven new Explorer Maps
    • Five new maps show the way to five different types of village

    • The other two new maps show the way to a Swamp Hut and a Jungle Temple

  • Cartographers from different biomes now sell a different range of maps

Wandering Trader Changes

  • Wandering Traders now have lower prices and have a higher amount of each item in stock

  • Wandering Traders now sell Logs

  • Wandering Traders can now buy many items, instead of only selling

Armorer Changes

  • Armorer from different biomes now sell different Armor with different enchantments

  • Buying Diamond Armor now requires a small amount of Diamonds as well as Emeralds

  • Many other Armorer trades have been updated

Structure Loot


Certain Enchanted Books now have a high chance of generating in some structures:

  • Ancient Cities: Mending

  • Mineshafts: Efficiency (I to V)

  • Pillager Outposts: Quick Charge (I to III)

  • Desert Temples: Unbreaking (I to III)

  • Jungle Temples: Unbreaking (I to III)

Data Pack Version 18

This data pack version removes the recently introduced execute if function and return run functionality. Flaws with those commands (see bugs MC-264595, MC-264699, and MC-264710) require some substantial changes to fix, which we do not want to make close to a release.

These commands will instead be reintroduced early in the next snapshot series when we can take the time to iterate on and test them together with pack makers.
  • Removed execute if|unless function command form

  • Removed return run command form

  • Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type

  • Added game rule enderPearlsVanishOnDeath, controlling whether thrown ender pearls vanish when the player that threw them dies (default true)

Villager Trade Rebalance Part 2

This pre-release updates the Villager Trade Rebalance experiment. This experiment has no effect on normal worlds. If you want to try these changes, you must turn on the Feature Toggle in the Experiments Menu when creating a new world. You can find more information about Feature Toggles here.

Thank you to everyone who has sent in their suggestions and feedback regarding the experimental trade change! We are trying out these changes to rebalance the villager trade system and make it more fair and fun for everyone. However, these changes are not yet final, and they will stay as experimental features while we continue to work on them. We appreciate your feedback on these changes. Visit this link to share your thoughts! We have been following the discussions about the previous Librarian and Wandering Trader updates and look forward to seeing the conversation continue.

Cartographer

Before now, Cartographers only sold maps to the Ocean Monument and Woodland Mansion. In this experiment, Cartographers can sell seven new maps as well. These new maps each point to a different village or structure and can be used to find seven different biomes. This will help players who want to quickly find a specific location without waiting until they come across it by chance.

Cartographers from different biomes will sell a different selection of maps. Starting from one village, it will be possible to find every other village type by following maps from village to village.

Cartographers now sell 7 new maps: Desert Village Map, Jungle Explorer Map, Plains Village Map, Savanna Village Map, Snow Village Map, Swamp Explorer Map, and Taiga Village Map.

Armorer

The Armorer’s trades have been updated with many changes.

The biggest change is that buying diamond armor now requires paying a small amount of Diamonds as well as Emeralds. This is meant to make the Armorer’s diamond armor trades less useful at the start of the game when players don’t have any Diamonds, while still giving a powerful advantage to advanced players who have spent some time collecting Diamonds.

Early-game players will find Armorers useful as a great source of iron armor, Shields, and Emeralds.

Other changes include:
  • Most master-level Armorers buy Iron Blocks (and pay very well for them)

  • Chainmail armor is exclusively sold by the secret Jungle and Swamp Armorers

  • The Savanna Armorers sells cursed diamond armor at reduced prices

  • The Taiga Armorer can swap one piece of diamond armor for another

    • All recipes, including those that have not been unlocked, will now show up in search results

    • This will enable experienced players to find the recipes they are looking for (even if it hasn’t been unlocked yet) without overwhelming new players

  • Updated structure icons on explorer maps sold by Cartographers

  • When villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic
  • The data pack version is now 18

  • Client options are now sent during the configuration network phase when joining a server

Data Pack Version 18

This data pack version removes the recently introduced execute if function and return run functionality. Flaws with those commands (see bugs MC-264595, MC-264699, and MC-264710) require some substantial changes to fix, which we do not want to make close to a release.

These commands will instead be reintroduced early in the next snapshot series when we can take the time to iterate on and test them together with pack makers.
  • Removed execute if|unless function command form

  • Removed return run command form

  • Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type

  • Added game rule enderPearlsVanishOnDeath, controlling whether thrown ender pearls vanish when the player that threw them dies (default true)

Villager Trade Rebalance Part 2

This pre-release updates the Villager Trade Rebalance experiment. This experiment has no effect on normal worlds. If you want to try these changes, you must turn on the Feature Toggle in the Experiments Menu when creating a new world. You can find more information about Feature Toggles here.

Thank you to everyone who has sent in their suggestions and feedback regarding the experimental trade change! We are trying out these changes to rebalance the villager trade system and make it more fair and fun for everyone. However, these changes are not yet final, and they will stay as experimental features while we continue to work on them. We appreciate your feedback on these changes. Visit this link to share your thoughts! We have been following the discussions about the previous Librarian and Wandering Trader updates and look forward to seeing the conversation continue.

Cartographer

Before now, Cartographers only sold maps to the Ocean Monument and Woodland Mansion. In this experiment, Cartographers can sell seven new maps as well. These new maps each point to a different village or structure and can be used to find seven different biomes. This will help players who want to quickly find a specific location without waiting until they come across it by chance.

Cartographers from different biomes will sell a different selection of maps. Starting from one village, it will be possible to find every other village type by following maps from village to village.

Cartographers now sell 7 new maps: Desert Village Map, Jungle Explorer Map, Plains Village Map, Savanna Village Map, Snow Village Map, Swamp Explorer Map, and Taiga Village Map.

Armorer

The Armorer’s trades have been updated with many changes.

The biggest change is that buying diamond armor now requires paying a small amount of Diamonds as well as Emeralds. This is meant to make the Armorer’s diamond armor trades less useful at the start of the game when players don’t have any Diamonds, while still giving a powerful advantage to advanced players who have spent some time collecting Diamonds.

Early-game players will find Armorers useful as a great source of iron armor, Shields, and Emeralds.

Other changes include:
  • Most master-level Armorers buy Iron Blocks (and pay very well for them)

  • Chainmail armor is exclusively sold by the secret Jungle and Swamp Armorers

  • The Savanna Armorers sells cursed diamond armor at reduced prices

  • The Taiga Armorer can swap one piece of diamond armor for another

Certain Enchanted Books now have a high chance of generating in some structures:
  • Ancient Cities: Mending

  • Pillager Outposts: Quick Charge (I to III)

  • Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template

  • Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests
    • Every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant will contain 2 Smithing Templates

  • This change was made for a variety of reasons:
    • Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite

    • Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression

    • Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system

Armor Trims
  • You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table

  • Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits

  • Armor trims can be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
    • All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material

    • To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory

  • Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Templates:
    • Trail Ruins: Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, and Host Armor Trims

    • Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim

    • Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim

    • Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim

    • Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim

    • Ocean Monument: Tide Armor Trim

    • Ancient City: Ward and Silence Armor Trims

    • Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim

    • Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim

    • Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim

    • Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim

    • End City: Spire Armor Trim

  • Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
    • Trail Ruins have no chests, Smithing Templates are instead found by brushing Suspicious Gravel

    • The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death

  • Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!

  • An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
    • The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim

    • The material is defined by which ingredient you used to apply the trim and controls the color of the trim

  • The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
    • Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz

Cherry Grovers
  • Added a new Cherry Grove biome, with pretty cherry blossom trees
    • The biome can be found in the mountains, in similar places as Meadows

  • Added a new Cherry wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it

  • Pink particles fall from beneath Cherry Leaves

  • Added a new Pink Petals block with lots of pink flowers on the ground
    • Each Pink Petal block can contain up to 4 petals

    • Using Bone Meal on it increases the number of petals

    • Placing a Pink Petal into an already placed block increases the number of petals

    • Drops the number of petals in the block when mined

Bamboo Wood Set
  • Added a new Bamboo wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it

  • Block of Bamboo can be crafted from 9 Bamboo and can be stripped like other wood logs

  • Bamboo Planks crafted from Block of Bamboo yields only 2 planks compared to 4 for wood logs

  • Added a new “Mosaic” plank variant that is unique to Bamboo called the Bamboo Mosaic
    • It can be crafted with 1×2 Bamboo Slabs in a vertical strip

    • You can craft Stair and Slab variants of Bamboo Mosaic

    • Bamboo Mosaic blocks cannot be used as a crafting ingredient where other wooden blocks are used, but they can be used as fuel

  • Added a unique Bamboo Raft and Bamboo Chest Raft which can be crafted like normal boats, but with Bamboo Planks
    • They function the same as ordinary boats but have a unique look to them

Chiseled Bookshelf
  • A new, chiseled variation of the Bookshelf

  • Crafted with 6 planks and 3 wooden slabs

  • Can store Books, Books and Quills, Written Books, Enchanted Books, and Knowledge Books
    • Holds up to 6 books

    • These can be added or removed from any slot by targeting the specific slot

  • The Comparator signal strength corresponds to the number of the last book that was inserted or removed
    • The numbering of book slots starts from 1 at the top-left, and increments from left-to-right

  • Works with Hoppers

Hanging Signs
  • Hanging Signs are a more expensive version of normal Signs
    • Crafted with 2 chains and 6 stripped logs of your preferred wood type

    • Crafting results in 6 Hanging Signs

  • Can be hung up in the following ways:
    • Underneath a block that can provide support in the center, like a full block or a fence

    • Attached to the solid side of a block

    • Attached to the side or underneath another Hanging Sign

  • Unlike normal Signs, they cannot be placed directly on the ground without support from the side or above
    • However, Hanging Signs that have a horizontal bar will not pop when the supporting block is removed

Signs

The following changes have been made for both Signs and Hanging Signs.
  • Sign text can now be edited after being placed in the world
    • This can be done by interacting with the Sign

    • Signs with non-text chat components can not be edited

  • Both sides of the Sign can now have separate text and colors, allowing for further customization options
    • By default, a Sign will prompt you to input the front side’s text when placed

    • To apply the text to the back side, you must walk to the other side and interact with that face to edit it

  • Signs can now also be waxed with Honeycomb, preventing any further edits to its text

  • Opening the sign edit screen in singleplayer no longer pauses the game

Calibrated Sculk Sensors
  • A new variant of Sculk Sensors that allows you to filter vibrations based on their frequency level

  • They are not found naturally and can only be crafted with 1 Sculk Sensor and 3 Amethyst Shards in the Crafting Table

  • One side of the Calibrated Sculk Sensor can receive a redstone signal as input
    • The strength of that redstone signal is the only vibration frequency the Sculk Sensor will listen to

  • They have a combined active and cooldown phase that lasts 20 game ticks
    • They output their redstone signal for the first 10 game ticks

  • They can detect vibrations up to 16 blocks away

Vibration Resonance
  • Blocks of Amethyst have a new behavior when placed adjacent to Sculk Sensors
    • If that Sculk Sensor receives a vibration, the Block of Amethyst will re-emit its frequency as a separate vibration at its location

  • This behavior is called Vibration Resonance and allows players to move vibration frequencies across long distances without having to recreate the vibration naturally

Playable Mob Sounds
  • When placing a Mob Head on a Note Block, that Note Block will now play one of the ambient sounds of that mob when played by a player or powered by Redstone

  • Mob Heads can be placed on top of Note Blocks without sneaking

Piglin Mob Head
  • Piglins will now drop their heads when killed by a charged Creeper

  • Placing the Piglin head on a Note Block will play one of the Piglin’s ambient sounds

  • The Piglin head will flap its ears when powered by Redstone, or when worn by a player while walking

New Music
  • Added the following new music tracks by Aaron Cherof to Cherry Groves, Desert, Jungle, Badlands, and Flower Forest biomes:
    • A Familiar Room

    • Bromeliad

    • Crescent Dunes

    • Echo in the Wind

  • Added a new music disc with the track “Relic” by Aaron Cherof, found in Trail Ruins

Windows AARCH64/ARM64 Support
  • Minecraft Java Edition is now fully supported on Windows devices using an Aarch64/ARM64 architecture, such as the Windows Surface Pro X

  • Updated the credits
    • Added the ability to scroll upwards by pressing the up arrow key

  • The game will now display a message box on startup if the user enabled text-to-speech functionality, but it is not available

  • Removed Herobrine

Sculk Changes
  • If a vibration is scheduled to be received by a Sculk Sensor or Sculk Shrieker, they will stay queued until all adjacent chunks are loaded and ticking
    • Prevents vibration resonance setups from breaking when unloading their chunks from a distance

  • Waterlogging a Sculk Shrieker will now silence their shrieking sounds

  • Sculk Sensors’ default redstone output has been modified to be more reliable for distance calculations

  • Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors now strongly power the block they are placed on

  • Both types of Sculk Sensors now stay in their Cooldown phase for 10 ticks, with other phase timings being adjusted to compensate

Sculk Sensor Phases
  • Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors have three phases: Inactive, Active, and Cooldown

  • The default phase is Inactive
    • This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration

    • During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled

  • When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase
    • This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors

    • During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils and emits a redstone signal and light

  • After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase
    • This phase lasts for 10 game ticks

    • During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a redstone signal nor light

    • Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase

  • Previously, some of these phases had different timing values:
    • Active: 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors

    • Cooldown: 1 game tick for both types of Sculk Sensors

  • These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them

Vibration Frequencies

In preparation for the Calibrated Sculk Sensor, vibration frequencies have been greatly simplified to prevent unwanted interference. The following are category descriptions for each frequency and the expected events that they correspond to:

  1. Movement in any medium (land, water, and air)

  2. Landing on any surface (land or water)

  3. Item interactions

  4. Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (Ravager roar, Wolf shaking, etc)

  5. Dismounting a mob or equipping gear

  6. Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob

  7. Mobs and players getting damaged

  8. Consuming items (drinking and eating)

  9. Blocks ‘deactivating’ (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)

  10. Blocks ‘activating’ (door open, chest open, button press, etc)

  11. Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to the campfire, etc.)

  12. Blocks being destroyed

  13. Blocks being placed

  14. Mobs and players teleporting or spawning

  15. Mobs and players dying or an explosion

Step Sounds
  • Walking on a block will now always play a step sound
    • It was previously not the case if you were walking along the edge of a block with air or fluid beside it

  • Walking on the ocean floor will produce a step sound for the block you are walking on at a lower volume and pitch

  • When walking on Carpets, Snow, Nether Sprouts, Warped Roots, and Crimson Roots, a combination of step sounds will be played
    • The top-most block you are walking on is played as normal

    • The block underneath is played at a lower volume and pitch

Advancements
  • Breeding Camels and Sniffers now count for “The Parrots and the Bats” and are now required for “Two by Two”

  • Hanging Signs now count for “Glow and Behold”

  • Visiting a Cherry Grove is now required for “Adventuring Time”
  • Improved performance of the light engine

  • The data pack version is now 15, accounting for sign data format, item display orientation, and advancement changes

  • Added a return command

  • Tweaked display entity interpolation

  • Added a capped rule structure processor that limits the number of replaced blocks for a structured piece to a configured maximum

  • Configuring block entity fields in a rule processor rule is now delegated to a referenced block_entity_modifier instead of the previously fixed output_nbt configuration

  • Random sequences for loot tables are now deterministic

  • Added a reference loot table function

  • Loot table condition/predicate changes:
    • Renamed alternative to any_of

    • Added all_of

  • Advancement trigger changes:
    • Added recipe_crafted

    • Changed format of placed_block, item_used_on_block and allay_drop_item_on_block triggers

  • Ingredients in array form are now also allowed in smithing_trim and smithing_transform recipes on fields template, base, and addition
    • Those fields also allow empty arrays, which signalize that the slot needs to be left empty

  • Added new damage types: outside_border and generic_kill

  • Game events have changed vibration frequency and some have been removed

  • The resource pack version is now 15, accounting for the font and credits update
    • Updated the sprite layout of minecraft.png

    • Removed the overriding minecraft.png from the Programmer Art resource pack

    • Updated the sprite layout of invite_icon.png

    • legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed

    • Bitmaps used by uniform font has been removed

    • uniform font has been updated to use Unifont 15.0.06
      • That changes the shape of multiple characters, while also adding support for new ones

      • Combining characters no longer include a circle overlayed over them (so M◌̆ now renders as M ̆)

    • Added a second level of organization of entries in credits.json on top of titles, called disciplines

  • Font textures are included in debug texture dump (F3 + S)

  • Added new font glyph providers: unihex and reference, removed legacy_unicode

  • Added support for Quick Play

  • Removed the server & port command line arguments as their functionality has been replaced by Quick Play

  • Updates to telemetry

  • Changed encoding of server.properties to UTF-8

  • Added validation for symbolic links in the world saves

Light Engine

The light engine is responsible for calculating the brightness of each block in the world.Light is calculated during world generation as well as updated when a block is changed in the world.Behavior of the light engine has not been changed.
  • The performance of calculating light has been improved
    • Reduces one source of lag spikes when crossing chunk borders

    • Improves FPS in situations when a lot of light updates occur

    • Improves how quickly chunks can be generated

Commands

Return

The return command can be used to control execution flow inside functions and change their return value. Effects:
  • Remaining separate top-level commands in the currently executing function (if any) are skipped

  • The result value of the function command that triggered the function is changed from the number of commands executed to value

  • The result value of the return command is also the value

Syntax:

return

Parameters:
  • value: An integer return value

DATA
  • string data sources now accept negative boundaries, which are interpreted as index counted from the end of the string

Display Entity

Interpolation Changes
  • Previous values are always discarded if interpolation_duration is 0

  • Made sure that render properties are applied at the same time (so block_state is applied at the same time as transformation, i.e. at the next tick after receiving an update)

  • Display entities are not rendered until their initial data is received. That means display entities might not be shown on the first tick.

  • Note: due to how the game handles updates, changes to entities made after summoning might be delivered to clients within a later tick

Rendering Changes
  • item_display items have been rotated 180 degrees around the Y axis to better match the transformation that is applied when rendering items on an Armor Stand head and in Item Frames
    • For reference, the order of transformations applied to the model (starting from innermost) is item_transform, rotate Y 180, transformation field, entity orientation (billboard option + Rotation field + Pos field)

Structure Post-Processors

Capped Post-Processors
  • A capped post-processor has been added which can limit how many blocks a delegated post-processor randomly transforms in a structure

  • This can be used to configure a structure piece to have an exact amount of specific blocks, instead of using random distribution

  • The capped post-processor has the following required parameters:
    • delegate A post-processor that performs the actual block transformation

    • limit the Maximum amount of blocks that the delegated post-processor can transform
      • The blocks inside a structure are all randomly passed to the delegated post-processor until it has transformed the limited amount

      • Either a constant or random number generator was sampled during post-processing

Rule Post-Processor Block Entity Configuration
  • Previously a rule could specify an optional fixed output_nbt which would be added to the processed output block entity

  • This field has now been changed to reference a block_entity_modifier

  • Existing block_entity_modifier‘s are:
    • passthrough Retains existing fields on the block entity
      • This is the default if no block_entity_modifier is specified

    • append_static Similar to the previous output_nbt this provides fixed fields to add to the block entity
      • A minor change is that this modifier appends configured fields to the processed block instead of replacing existing fields

    • clear Removes any existing fields on the block entity

    • append_loot Appends a loot table and seed to the block entity through the required parameter:
      • loot_table Referenced loot table to add to block entity as LootTable field

      • Field LootTableSeed is also added to the block entity using random seeded by block position

Loot Tables

Random Sequences

The game now uses named random sequences to deterministically produce loot for loot tables. Each random sequence produces a unique sequence based on the world seed and sequence ID, which means a loot table will produce the same results when run with the same parameters in the same world.

The ID of the random sequence to use for a loot table is specified in a new optional field called random_sequence. If no sequence name is given, loot is drawn using a non-deterministic random source.

Reference

New function reference allows functions to call sub-functions (similar to reference condition).

Fields:
  • name – location of function to call

Any_of/All_of
  • Loot condition alternative has been renamed to any_of

  • Added new loot condition all_of that passes only when all sub-conditions pass
    • Has the same syntax as any_of

Advancements

New Triggers

Recipe_Crafted
  • Triggered when crafting a recipe

  • Conditions:
    • recipe_id – the resource location of the recipe crafted

    • ingredients – an array of predicates for the item stacks used in the recipe
      • A single-item stack can only be used to fulfill one predicate

      • Each predicate needs to be fulfilled to trigger the advancement. This allows for separation between recipes that have the same identifier but use different ingredients.

      • This field is optional. When not provided, or left empty, only the recipe_id will dictate the success of the trigger

Changed Triggers
  • All fields in placed_block, item_used_on_block, and allay_drop_item_on_block have been collapsed into a single location field

  • The new location is similar to the player field – it is a list of loot conditions/predicates

  • All conditions in this list must match for a trigger to run

  • Conditions are evaluated in a new loot context called advancement_location. It has access to:
    • Player as this entity

    • Position of the placed block

    • Block state of the placed/interacted block

    • Held/used item as “tool”

  • Migration guide:
    • Contents of the old location field should be migrated to location_check condition

    • Contents of the item field should be migrated to match_tool condition

    • Contents of the block + state fields should be migrated to block_state_property condition

Example (from make_a_sign_glow advancement):

Before:

Code:
{ "conditions": { "item": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] }, "location": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block" }After:
Code:
{ "conditions": { "location": [ { "condition": "minecraft:match_tool", "predicate": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] } }, { "condition": "minecraft:location_check", "predicate": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } } ] }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block" }
Damage Types

  • Players outside the world border are now hurt by the damage type outside_border instead of in_wall

  • Forcibly removing an entity using the /kill command now uses damage type generic_kill instead of out_of_world

  • Added replaceable_by_trees to better express blocks that are replaced when the tree grows through them

  • Added replaceable with all the blocks that can be replaced
    • This tag only represents the internal state of the game, changing this tag does not make blocks replaceable

Fonts

New Unihex Glyph Provider

  • New glyph provider for reading Unifont HEX files
    • HEX format describes font glyphs using a bitmap
      • The height of every glyph is 16 pixels

      • The width of the glyph can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 pixels

    • Every line is made of two hexadecimal numbers separated by :

    • The first value describes a codepoint – it must have 4, 5, or 6 hex digits

    • The second value describes the glyph as a stream of bits, line by line

  • When rendering, empty columns on the left and right sides of glyphs are removed
    • Custom glyph widths can be set with size_overrides

  • This provider requires two fields:
    • hex_file – path to ZIP archive containing one or more *.hex files (files in the archive with different extensions are ignored)

    • size_overrides – list of codepoint ranges that should have width different from auto-detected (based on empty space in glyph). Fields:
      • from, to – start and end of codepoint range (inclusive)

      • left, right – integers describing the position of the left-most and right-most columns of the glyph in the range
        • Any bits in columns outside of this range will be discarded

New Reference Glyph Provider

  • New glyph provider that can be used to include providers from other fonts
    • Providers are guaranteed to be loaded only once, no matter how many times they are included

  • Provider has one field id, that describes another font to be included in the currently loaded one
    • Inclusion is performed after all fonts are loaded, so it will include all providers for a given font defined in all datapacks

Removed Legacy_Unicode Glyph Provider

  • The legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed

  • This functionality has been replaced by the unihex provider

Quick Play

  • Added support for four new command line arguments that allow the game to be launched directly into a world

  • quickPlayPath takes a specified path for logging (relative to the run directory)
    • If a path is provided the following will be logged upon joining a world:
      • type: is either singleplayer, multiplayer, or realms

      • identifier: represents the world you want to join
        • For singleplayer, the folder name of the world

        • For multiplayer, the IP address of the server

        • For realms, the Realms ID

      • port: represents the server port and is only logged for multiplayer

      • name: The name of the world

      • gamemode: The gamemode of the world

      • lastPlayedTime: The time you joined the world

    • Example:
      • –quickPlayPath “quickPlay/log.json” will resolve into .minecraft/quickPlay/log.json

  • quickPlaySingleplayer, quickPlayMultiplayer, and quickPlayRealms all take their respective identifier
    • If one of these arguments is provided, the game will try to launch directly into the given world

    • Examples:
      • –quickPlaySingleplayer “New World”

      • –quickPlayMultiplayer “localhost:25565”

      • –quickPlayRealms “1234”

Telemetry

All Events

  • Added new property: launcher_name
    • This is set based on the minecraft.launcher.brand system property

    • This will help us troubleshoot game launch-related bugs more effectively, as we will be able to see whether the issue originated in the Minecraft launcher or a third-party program

Updated Required Events

  • world_loaded
    • Added new property: realms_map_content
      • When loading into a Realms Map Content world (Minigame), the world_loaded event will receive the name of that map

      • This is to help us understand how Java Realms players interact with Java Realms adventure or minimap content

New Optional Events

  • advancement_made
    • This event is triggered when a player completes an advancement and allows us to see the advancement ID and the time when the advancement was completed

    • This helps us as a studio understand player progress and limits, which informs our game design

  • game_load_times
    • This event is triggered when the game client is loaded

    • Includes the time it took for the client to load

    • This is so that we can work on improving and reducing the time it takes to load the game client

Server.Properties

  • File is now read in UTF-8 initially, with the previous encoding (ISO 8859-1/Latin 1) as a fallback

  • File is now written with UTF-8 encoding

SymbolicC Link Validation


To improve safety, the game will now detect symbolic links used inside the world directory. For a detailed explanation, check our help article.

  • If the target of a symbolic link is not on the user-configured allow-list, the game will not proceed with loading the world
    • Note: the world directory itself can still be linked

  • The list of allowed symbolic link targets is stored in the file allowed_symlinks.txt in the client or server top directory

  • The file consists of entries (one per line) with the following formats allowed:
    • Lines starting with # are comments and are ignored

    • [type]pattern, where type can be a glob, regex, or prefix
      • prefix matches the start of the path with the given pattern (so for /test paths /test, /test/ and /test/foo.txt would match)

      • regex matches regular expression against the whole path

      • glob uses an OS-specific path-matching mechanism (for example *.txt would usually match files with a txt extension)

      • Note: paths will use OS-specific separators

    • pattern, which uses the default prefix type

    • Hitting the pot with bare hands, silk touch tools, or any other item will drop an intact pot instead

  • Crafted Decorated Pots with at least one pattern have a hover tooltip displaying the Sherd & Brick ingredients

Sniffer
  • The Sniffer is the mob vote winner of Minecraft Live 2022

  • Sniffers are passive, friendly mobs

  • Sniffers sniff the air and occasionally dig for seeds, which produce a Torchflower Seed or a Pitcher Pod item

  • Sniffers can only dig grass and dirt-like blocks

  • Sniffers can be tempted by, and bred with Torchflowers Seeds

Sniffer Egg
  • Can be found by brushing the Suspicious Sand of Warm Ocean Ruins

  • When placed in the world, the Sniffer Egg will hatch after some time
    • When placed on Moss, the Egg will hatch in approximately 10 minutes

    • On all other blocks, it will hatch in about 20 minutes

Torchflowers
  • The Sniffer can occasionally sniff up a Torchflowers seed, and it can be used to breed two Sniffers

  • The Torchflower seed can be planted on Farmland and grows into a Torchflower

  • The full-grown flower can be harvested and replanted

  • The Torchflower can be crafted into Orange Dye

Pitcher Plant
  • The Sniffer can occasionally sniff up a Pitcher Pod item

  • The Pitcher Pod, when planted on Farmland, grows into a Pitcher Crop

  • The Pitcher Plant can be crafted into Cyan Dye

Camel
  • Camels can be equipped with a Saddle and ridden by two players

  • Camels spawn naturally when Desert Villages generate

  • Camels can be tempted by holding Cactus

  • Feed Cactus to Camels to breed them

  • Camels are tall
    • Most hostile mobs will not be able to reach you when you are on a Camel

    • They can walk over Fences and Walls

  • Camels randomly sit down
    • While sitting, it is difficult to convince them to move

  • Camels can either walk slowly or sprint quickly

  • They can also dash forward but will lose stamina for a while when doing so

Smithing
  • Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications

  • Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Template

  • Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to a piece of equipment
    • It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade

    • There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade

  • Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table

  • You can craft a copy of a Smithing Template in the Crafting Table with 7 diamonds + 1 block of material that the template is made out of + 1 smithing template, which will output 2 of the same Smithing Template

Netherite Equipment
  • Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template

  • Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests
    • Every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant will contain 2 Smithing Templates

  • This change was made for a variety of reasons:
    • Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite

    • Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression

    • Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system

Armor Trims
  • You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table

  • Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits

  • Armor trims can be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
    • All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material

    • To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory

  • Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Templates:
    • Trail Ruins: Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, and Host Armor Trims

    • Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim

    • Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim

    • Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim

    • Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim

    • Ocean Monument: Tide Armor Trim

    • Ancient City: Ward and Silence Armor Trims

    • Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim

    • Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim

    • Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim

    • Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim

    • End City: Spire Armor Trim

  • Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
    • Trail Ruins have no chests, Smithing Templates are instead found by brushing Suspicious Gravel

    • The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death

  • Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!

  • An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
    • The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim

    • The material is defined by which ingredient you used to apply the trim and controls the color of the trim

  • The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
    • Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz

Cherry Grovers
  • Added a new Cherry Grove biome, with pretty cherry blossom trees
    • The biome can be found in the mountains, in similar places as Meadows

  • Added a new Cherry wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it

  • Pink particles fall from beneath Cherry Leaves

  • Added a new Pink Petals block with lots of pink flowers on the ground
    • Each Pink Petal block can contain up to 4 petals

    • Using Bone Meal on it increases the number of petals

    • Placing a Pink Petal into an already placed block increases the number of petals

    • Drops the number of petals in the block when mined

Bamboo Wood Set
  • Added a new Bamboo wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it

  • Block of Bamboo can be crafted from 9 Bamboo and can be stripped like other wood logs

  • Bamboo Planks crafted from Block of Bamboo yields only 2 planks compared to 4 for wood logs

  • Added a new “Mosaic” plank variant that is unique to Bamboo called the Bamboo Mosaic
    • It can be crafted with 1×2 Bamboo Slabs in a vertical strip

    • You can craft Stair and Slab variants of Bamboo Mosaic

    • Bamboo Mosaic blocks cannot be used as a crafting ingredient where other wooden blocks are used, but they can be used as fuel

  • Added a unique Bamboo Raft and Bamboo Chest Raft which can be crafted like normal boats, but with Bamboo Planks
    • They function the same as ordinary boats but have a unique look to them

Chiseled Bookshelf
  • A new, chiseled variation of the Bookshelf

  • Crafted with 6 planks and 3 wooden slabs

  • Can store Books, Books and Quills, Written Books, Enchanted Books, and Knowledge Books
    • Holds up to 6 books

    • These can be added or removed from any slot by targeting the specific slot

  • The Comparator signal strength corresponds to the number of the last book that was inserted or removed
    • The numbering of book slots starts from 1 at the top-left, and increments from left-to-right

  • Works with Hoppers

Hanging Signs
  • Hanging Signs are a more expensive version of normal Signs
    • Crafted with 2 chains and 6 stripped logs of your preferred wood type

    • Crafting results in 6 Hanging Signs

  • Can be hung up in the following ways:
    • Underneath a block that can provide support in the center, like a full block or a fence

    • Attached to the solid side of a block

    • Attached to the side or underneath another Hanging Sign

  • Unlike normal Signs, they cannot be placed directly on the ground without support from the side or above
    • However, Hanging Signs that have a horizontal bar will not pop when the supporting block is removed

Signs

The following changes have been made for both Signs and Hanging Signs.
  • Sign text can now be edited after being placed in the world
    • This can be done by interacting with the Sign

    • Signs with non-text chat components can not be edited

  • Both sides of the Sign can now have separate text and colors, allowing for further customization options
    • By default, a Sign will prompt you to input the front side’s text when placed

    • To apply the text to the back side, you must walk to the other side and interact with that face to edit it

  • Signs can now also be waxed with Honeycomb, preventing any further edits to its text

  • Opening the sign edit screen in singleplayer no longer pauses the game

Calibrated Sculk Sensors
  • A new variant of Sculk Sensors that allows you to filter vibrations based on their frequency level

  • They are not found naturally and can only be crafted with 1 Sculk Sensor and 3 Amethyst Shards in the Crafting Table

  • One side of the Calibrated Sculk Sensor can receive a redstone signal as input
    • The strength of that redstone signal is the only vibration frequency the Sculk Sensor will listen to

  • They have a combined active and cooldown phase that lasts 20 game ticks
    • They output their redstone signal for the first 10 game ticks

  • They can detect vibrations up to 16 blocks away

Vibration Resonance
  • Blocks of Amethyst have a new behavior when placed adjacent to Sculk Sensors
    • If that Sculk Sensor receives a vibration, the Block of Amethyst will re-emit its frequency as a separate vibration at its location

  • This behavior is called Vibration Resonance and allows players to move vibration frequencies across long distances without having to recreate the vibration naturally

Playable Mob Sounds
  • When placing a Mob Head on a Note Block, that Note Block will now play one of the ambient sounds of that mob when played by a player or powered by Redstone

  • Mob Heads can be placed on top of Note Blocks without sneaking

Piglin Mob Head
  • Piglins will now drop their heads when killed by a charged Creeper

  • Placing the Piglin head on a Note Block will play one of the Piglin’s ambient sounds

  • The Piglin head will flap its ears when powered by Redstone, or when worn by a player while walking

New Music
  • Added the following new music tracks by Aaron Cherof to Cherry Groves, Desert, Jungle, Badlands, and Flower Forest biomes:
    • A Familiar Room

    • Bromeliad

    • Crescent Dunes

    • Echo in the Wind

  • Added a new music disc with the track “Relic” by Aaron Cherof, found in Trail Ruins

Windows AARCH64/ARM64 Support
  • Minecraft Java Edition is now fully supported on Windows devices using an Aarch64/ARM64 architecture, such as the Windows Surface Pro X

    • This will be a Grass Block in release versions and a Dirt Block in snapshot versions

  • GUI can be scaled on the Video Settings screen by holding Ctrl and scrolling the mouse wheel

  • Updated the credits
    • Added the ability to scroll upwards by pressing the up arrow key

  • The game will now display a message box on startup if the user enabled text-to-speech functionality, but it is not available

  • Removed Herobrine

Sculk Changes
  • If a vibration is scheduled to be received by a Sculk Sensor or Sculk Shrieker, they will stay queued until all adjacent chunks are loaded and ticking
    • Prevents vibration resonance setups from breaking when unloading their chunks from a distance

  • Waterlogging a Sculk Shrieker will now silence their shrieking sounds

  • Sculk Sensors’ default redstone output has been modified to be more reliable for distance calculations

  • Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors now strongly power the block they are placed on

  • Both types of Sculk Sensors now stay in their Cooldown phase for 10 ticks, with other phase timings being adjusted to compensate

Sculk Sensor Phases
  • Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors have three phases: Inactive, Active, and Cooldown

  • The default phase is Inactive
    • This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration

    • During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled

  • When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase
    • This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors

    • During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils and emits a redstone signal and light

  • After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase
    • This phase lasts for 10 game ticks

    • During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a redstone signal nor light

    • Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase

  • Previously, some of these phases had different timing values:
    • Active: 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors

    • Cooldown: 1 game tick for both types of Sculk Sensors

  • These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them

Vibration Frequencies

In preparation for the Calibrated Sculk Sensor, vibration frequencies have been greatly simplified to prevent unwanted interference. The following are category descriptions for each frequency and the expected events that they correspond to:

  1. Movement in any medium (land, water, and air)

  2. Landing on any surface (land or water)

  3. Item interactions

  4. Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (Ravager roar, Wolf shaking, etc)

  5. Dismounting a mob or equipping gear

  6. Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob

  7. Mobs and players getting damaged

  8. Consuming items (drinking and eating)

  9. Blocks ‘deactivating’ (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)

  10. Blocks ‘activating’ (door open, chest open, button press, etc)

  11. Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to the campfire, etc.)

  12. Blocks being destroyed

  13. Blocks being placed

  14. Mobs and players teleporting or spawning

  15. Mobs and players dying or an explosion

Step Sounds
  • Walking on a block will now always play a step sound
    • It was previously not the case if you were walking along the edge of a block with air or fluid beside it

  • Walking on the ocean floor will produce a step sound for the block you are walking on at a lower volume and pitch

  • When walking on Carpets, Snow, Nether Sprouts, Warped Roots, and Crimson Roots, a combination of step sounds will be played
    • The top-most block you are walking on is played as normal

    • The block underneath is played at a lower volume and pitch

Advancements
  • Breeding Camels and Sniffers now count for “The Parrots and the Bats” and are now required for “Two by Two”

  • Hanging Signs now count for “Glow and Behold”

  • Visiting a Cherry Grove is now required for “Adventuring Time”
  • Improved performance of the light engine

  • The data pack version is now 15, accounting for sign data format, item display orientation, and advancement changes

  • Removed update_1_20 feature flag and built-in datapack – features are no longer experimental

  • Added a return command

  • Tweaked display entity interpolation

  • Added a capped rule structure processor that limits the number of replaced blocks for a structured piece to a configured maximum

  • Configuring block entity fields in a rule processor rule is now delegated to a referenced block_entity_modifier instead of the previously fixed output_nbt configuration

  • Random sequences for loot tables are now deterministic

  • Added a reference loot table function

  • Loot table condition/predicate changes:
    • Renamed alternative to any_of

    • Added all_of

  • Advancement trigger changes:
    • Added recipe_crafted

    • Changed format of placed_block, item_used_on_block and allay_drop_item_on_block triggers

  • Ingredients in array form are now also allowed in smithing_trim and smithing_transform recipes on fields template, base, and addition
    • Those fields also allow empty arrays, which signalize that the slot needs to be left empty

  • Added new damage types: outside_border and generic_kill

  • Game events have changed vibration frequency and some have been removed

  • The resource pack version is now 15, accounting for the font and credits update
    • Updated the sprite layout of minecraft.png

    • Removed the overriding minecraft.png from the Programmer Art resource pack

    • Updated the sprite layout of invite_icon.png

    • legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed

    • Bitmaps used by uniform font has been removed

    • uniform font has been updated to use Unifont 15.0.06
      • That changes the shape of multiple characters, while also adding support for new ones

      • Combining characters no longer include a circle overlayed over them (so M◌̆ now renders as M ̆)

    • Added a second level of organization of entries in credits.json on top of titles, called disciplines

  • Font textures are included in debug texture dump (F3 + S)

  • Added new font glyph providers: unihex and reference, removed legacy_unicode

  • Added support for Quick Play

  • Removed the server & port command line arguments as their functionality has been replaced by Quick Play

  • Updates to telemetry

  • Changed encoding of server.properties to UTF-8

  • Added validation for symbolic links in the world saves

Light Engine

The light engine is responsible for calculating the brightness of each block in the world.Light is calculated during world generation as well as updated when a block is changed in the world.Behavior of the light engine has not been changed.
  • The performance of calculating light has been improved
    • Reduces one source of lag spikes when crossing chunk borders

    • Improves FPS in situations when a lot of light updates occur

    • Improves how quickly chunks can be generated

Commands

Return

The return command can be used to control execution flow inside functions and change their return value. Effects:
  • Remaining separate top-level commands in the currently executing function (if any) are skipped

  • The result value of the function command that triggered the function is changed from the number of commands executed to value

  • The result value of the return command is also the value

Syntax:

return

Parameters:
  • value: An integer return value

DATA
  • string data sources now accept negative boundaries, which are interpreted as index counted from the end of the string

Display Entity

Interpolation Changes
  • Previous values are always discarded if interpolation_duration is 0

  • Made sure that render properties are applied at the same time (so block_state is applied at the same time as transformation, i.e. at the next tick after receiving an update)

  • Display entities are not rendered until their initial data is received. That means display entities might not be shown on the first tick.

  • Note: due to how the game handles updates, changes to entities made after summoning might be delivered to clients within a later tick

Rendering Changes
  • item_display items have been rotated 180 degrees around the Y axis to better match the transformation that is applied when rendering items on an Armor Stand head and in Item Frames
    • For reference, the order of transformations applied to the model (starting from innermost) is item_transform, rotate Y 180, transformation field, entity orientation (billboard option + Rotation field + Pos field)

Structure Post-Processors

Capped Post-Processors
  • A capped post-processor has been added which can limit how many blocks a delegated post-processor randomly transforms in a structure

  • This can be used to configure a structure piece to have an exact amount of specific blocks, instead of using random distribution

  • The capped post-processor has the following required parameters:
    • delegate A post-processor that performs the actual block transformation

    • limit the Maximum amount of blocks that the delegated post-processor can transform
      • The blocks inside a structure are all randomly passed to the delegated post-processor until it has transformed the limited amount

      • Either a constant or random number generator was sampled during post-processing

Rule Post-Processor Block Entity Configuration
  • Previously a rule could specify an optional fixed output_nbt which would be added to the processed output block entity

  • This field has now been changed to reference a block_entity_modifier

  • Existing block_entity_modifier‘s are:
    • passthrough Retains existing fields on the block entity
      • This is the default if no block_entity_modifier is specified

    • append_static Similar to the previous output_nbt this provides fixed fields to add to the block entity
      • A minor change is that this modifier appends configured fields to the processed block instead of replacing existing fields

    • clear Removes any existing fields on the block entity

    • append_loot Appends a loot table and seed to the block entity through the required parameter:
      • loot_table Referenced loot table to add to block entity as LootTable field

      • Field LootTableSeed is also added to the block entity using random seeded by block position

Loot Tables

Random Sequences

The game now uses named random sequences to deterministically produce loot for loot tables. Each random sequence produces a unique sequence based on the world seed and sequence ID, which means a loot table will produce the same results when run with the same parameters in the same world.

The ID of the random sequence to use for a loot table is specified in a new optional field called random_sequence. If no sequence name is given, loot is drawn using a non-deterministic random source.

Reference

New function reference allows functions to call sub-functions (similar to reference condition).

Fields:
  • name – location of function to call

Any_of/All_of
  • Loot condition alternative has been renamed to any_of

  • Added new loot condition all_of that passes only when all sub-conditions pass
    • Has the same syntax as any_of

Advancements

New Triggers

Recipe_Crafted
  • Triggered when crafting a recipe

  • Conditions:
    • recipe_id – the resource location of the recipe crafted

    • ingredients – an array of predicates for the item stacks used in the recipe
      • A single-item stack can only be used to fulfill one predicate

      • Each predicate needs to be fulfilled to trigger the advancement. This allows for separation between recipes that have the same identifier but use different ingredients.

      • This field is optional. When not provided, or left empty, only the recipe_id will dictate the success of the trigger

Changed Triggers
  • All fields in placed_block, item_used_on_block, and allay_drop_item_on_block have been collapsed into a single location field

  • The new location is similar to the player field – it is a list of loot conditions/predicates

  • All conditions in this list must match for a trigger to run

  • Conditions are evaluated in a new loot context called advancement_location. It has access to:
    • Player as this entity

    • Position of the placed block

    • Block state of the placed/interacted block

    • Held/used item as “tool”

  • Migration guide:
    • Contents of the old location field should be migrated to location_check condition

    • Contents of the item field should be migrated to match_tool condition

    • Contents of the block + state fields should be migrated to block_state_property condition

Example (from make_a_sign_glow advancement):

Before:

Code:
{ "conditions": { "item": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] }, "location": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block" }After:
Code:
{ "conditions": { "location": [ { "condition": "minecraft:match_tool", "predicate": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] } }, { "condition": "minecraft:location_check", "predicate": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } } ] }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block" }
Damage Types

  • Players outside the world border are now hurt by the damage type outside_border instead of in_wall

  • Forcibly removing an entity using the /kill command now uses damage type generic_kill instead of out_of_world

Tags

Block Tags

  • Removed replaceable_plants since it was only used as a subset of the blocks for the tag above, and not as universally

  • Added replaceable_by_trees to better express blocks that are replaced when the tree grows through them

  • Added replaceable with all the blocks that can be replaced
    • This tag only represents the internal state of the game, changing this tag does not make blocks replaceable

  • Added sword_efficient to represent blocks that are broken 50% faster by a sword than normal

  • Added maintains_farmland to represent which blocks will not cause farmland to be converted into dirt due to drying out when placed on top of it

  • Added combination_step_sound_blocks that controls which block produces a combination of step sounds

  • Added enchantment_power_provider to control which blocks increase the level of an Enchantment Table

  • Added enchantment_power_transmitter to control which blocks are allowed between an Enchantment Table and a Bookshelf (or other Power Transmitter)

  • Added vibration_resonators to control which blocks transmit vibration signals when placed next to Sculk Sensors

Fonts

New Unihex Glyph Provider

  • New glyph provider for reading Unifont HEX files
    • HEX format describes font glyphs using a bitmap
      • The height of every glyph is 16 pixels

      • The width of the glyph can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 pixels

    • Every line is made of two hexadecimal numbers separated by :

    • The first value describes a codepoint – it must have 4, 5, or 6 hex digits

    • The second value describes the glyph as a stream of bits, line by line

  • When rendering, empty columns on the left and right sides of glyphs are removed
    • Custom glyph widths can be set with size_overrides

  • This provider requires two fields:
    • hex_file – path to ZIP archive containing one or more *.hex files (files in the archive with different extensions are ignored)

    • size_overrides – list of codepoint ranges that should have width different from auto-detected (based on empty space in glyph). Fields:
      • from, to – start and end of codepoint range (inclusive)

      • left, right – integers describing the position of the left-most and right-most columns of the glyph in the range
        • Any bits in columns outside of this range will be discarded

New Reference Glyph Provider

  • New glyph provider that can be used to include providers from other fonts
    • Providers are guaranteed to be loaded only once, no matter how many times they are included

  • Provider has one field id, that describes another font to be included in the currently loaded one
    • Inclusion is performed after all fonts are loaded, so it will include all providers for a given font defined in all datapacks

Removed Legacy_Unicode Glyph Provider

  • The legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed

  • This functionality has been replaced by the unihex provider

Quick Play

  • Added support for four new command line arguments that allow the game to be launched directly into a world

  • quickPlayPath takes a specified path for logging (relative to the run directory)
    • If a path is provided the following will be logged upon joining a world:
      • type: is either singleplayer, multiplayer, or realms

      • identifier: represents the world you want to join
        • For singleplayer, the folder name of the world

        • For multiplayer, the IP address of the server

        • For realms, the Realms ID

      • port: represents the server port and is only logged for multiplayer

      • name: The name of the world

      • gamemode: The gamemode of the world

      • lastPlayedTime: The time you joined the world

    • Example:
      • –quickPlayPath “quickPlay/log.json” will resolve into .minecraft/quickPlay/log.json

  • quickPlaySingleplayer, quickPlayMultiplayer, and quickPlayRealms all take their respective identifier
    • If one of these arguments is provided, the game will try to launch directly into the given world

    • Examples:
      • –quickPlaySingleplayer “New World”

      • –quickPlayMultiplayer “localhost:25565”

      • –quickPlayRealms “1234”

Telemetry

All Events

  • Added new property: launcher_name
    • This is set based on the minecraft.launcher.brand system property

    • This will help us troubleshoot game launch-related bugs more effectively, as we will be able to see whether the issue originated in the Minecraft launcher or a third-party program

Updated Required Events

  • world_loaded
    • Added new property: realms_map_content
      • When loading into a Realms Map Content world (Minigame), the world_loaded event will receive the name of that map

      • This is to help us understand how Java Realms players interact with Java Realms adventure or minimap content

New Optional Events

  • advancement_made
    • This event is triggered when a player completes an advancement and allows us to see the advancement ID and the time when the advancement was completed

    • This helps us as a studio understand player progress and limits, which informs our game design

  • game_load_times
    • This event is triggered when the game client is loaded

    • Includes the time it took for the client to load

    • This is so that we can work on improving and reducing the time it takes to load the game client

Server.Properties

  • File is now read in UTF-8 initially, with the previous encoding (ISO 8859-1/Latin 1) as a fallback

  • File is now written with UTF-8 encoding

SymbolicC Link Validation


To improve safety, the game will now detect symbolic links used inside the world directory. For a detailed explanation, check our help article.

  • If the target of a symbolic link is not on the user-configured allow-list, the game will not proceed with loading the world
    • Note: the world directory itself can still be linked

  • The list of allowed symbolic link targets is stored in the file allowed_symlinks.txt in the client or server top directory

  • The file consists of entries (one per line) with the following formats allowed:
    • Lines starting with # are comments and are ignored

    • [type]pattern, where type can be a glob, regex, or prefix
      • prefix matches the start of the path with the given pattern (so for /test paths /test, /test/ and /test/foo.txt would match)

      • regex matches regular expression against the whole path

      • glob uses an OS-specific path-matching mechanism (for example *.txt would usually match files with a txt extension)

      • Note: paths will use OS-specific separators

    • pattern, which uses the default prefix type


Around 250 bugs were fixed in this release. View the list on the issue tracker.

Execute On

New execute sub-command for selecting entities based on relation to the current executing entity:
  • execute on

Relations:
  • vehicle – the entity that the executing entity is riding

  • passengers – all entities directly riding the executing entity (no sub-passengers)

  • controller – the entity that is controlling the executing entity (for example: first passenger in a boat)

  • owner – the owner of the executing entity, if it is a tameable animal (like cats, wolves, or parrots)

Execute Positioned Over

New execute sub-command for finding positions on top of a heightmap. Changes the height of the execution position to be on top of the given heightmap.

Syntax:
  • execute positioned over

Heightmaps

A heightmap records the highest position in a column of blocks according to some criteria. Available options:
  • world_surface: Any non-air block

  • The duration parameter is now a time duration in ticks and works with t, s, and d suffixes
    • To retain existing functionality, you need to add an s suffix to pre-existing commands

Ride

New command to allow entities to start or stop riding other entities.

Syntax:
  • ride mount
    • Makes a single target mount a single vehicle

    • The command will fail if:
      • vehicle is a player

      • target is already riding a vehicle

      • target and vehicle are the same entity

      • vehicle is already a passenger (direct or indirect) of target

  • ride dismount
    • Dismounts target from any vehicle it is riding

    • Fails if target is not riding anything

Damage Types

Damage Types are a new registry that can be extended through data packs. A Damage Type determines how damage is handled by the game. This includes which attributes the damage has as well as which death message is used when an entity dies due to that type of damage.

Example:

Code:
{ "exhaustion": 0.1, "message_id": "arrow", "scaling": "when_caused_by_living_non_player" }

Fields:
  • message_id: The message id used for deaths caused by this damage type
    • Will be combined with other string fragments to form a translation key

  • exhaustion: The amount of hunger exhaustion caused by this damage type

  • scaling: Whether this damage type scales with difficulty levels. Possible values:
    • never: Damage is always the same

    • always: Damage always scales with difficulty

    • when_caused_by_living_non_player: Damage scales with difficulty if it was caused by a living entity who is not a player

  • effects: Optional field controlling how damage manifests when inflicted on players. Possible values:
    • hurt (default): the default hurt sound

    • thorns: Thorns hurt sound

    • drowning: Drowning sound

    • burning: A single tick of burning sound

    • poking: Berry bush poke sound

    • freezing: Freeze tick sound

  • death_message_type: Optional field that controls if special death message variants are used. Possible values:
    • default (default): No special death message logic is applied

    • fall_variants: Show a variant of fall damage death instead of a regular death message, e.g. death.fell.assist.item

    • intentional_game_design: Show the intentional game design message instead of a regular death message

Damage type tags control many aspects of how damage from different sources is interpreted.

Predicates

Damage Type Predicates

The following fields have been removed from damage type predicates: is_projectile, is_explosion, bypasses_armor,bypasses_invulnerability, bypasses_magic, is_fire, is_magic, is_lightning.

A new tags array has been added, with the predicate matching if all entries match. Each entry has two fields:
  • id: The ID of a damage type tag

  • expected: Whether the damage is expected to have or not have the tag for the predicate to match

Game Rules
  • Added commandModificationBlockLimit, controlling the maximum number of blocks changed in one execution of clone, fill and fillbiome

  • Added doVinesSpread game rule, determining if vines will spread to nearby blocks
    • Defaults to true

Text Components

Added an optional fallback field to translate text components.
  • The new field is a string that will be used in place of translation if it is missing

  • If fallback is missing, the old behavior (i.e. using the key itself as the translation) is preserved

Display Entities

Three new entities have been added for flexible display of items, blocks, and text
  • Those entities, similarily to markers, don’t tick and have no collisions or physics

  • Models render at entity position, with normal rotation around X and Y axis (so it can be controlled by teleport commands), but also with additional arbitrary model transform

Common Data Types

Tag contents for display entities include some new data types with a complex structure. Any form can be used for modifying data, but only one form is used for saving.

Transformations

Arbitrary affine transform.
  • Matrix form: array of 16 numbers, describing row-major matrix

  • Decomposed form (used for saving): object with following fields:
    • translation – 3d vector

    • left_rotation, right_rotation – rotation

    • scale – 3d vector

    • Transforms are composed in order translation, left_rotation, scale, right_rotation

Rotations
  • Quaternion form (used for saving): array of 4 numbers, describing components (x, y, z, w)

  • Axis-angle form: object with following fields:
    • axis – unit 3d vector

    • angle – in radians

Interpolation

Some properties of display entities can be interpolated. That means that clients will see gradual changes over time instead of instantaneous jumps.

Display entities keep track of current and previous values of interpolated values:
  • All properties marked as “interpolated” are part of a single interpolation set

  • Any update to interpolated property will cause all values of interpolation set to be saved as “current”
    • Data command executions that do not change value of property (even if it’s present in NBT) do not count as updates

    • Updates are synchronized to clients at most once per tick, so multiple updates within command will still count as a single update

  • The last values generated before an update are saved as “previous”

  • If interpolation is enabled, the entity will transition between “previous” and “current” values over interpolation_duration ticks

  • Interpolation can be started by writing to the start_interpolation field (this field is not normally present in NBT)
    • The value in this field is a delay in ticks between client receiving the update and interpolation start

    • A value of 0 ticks means that interpolation will start in next client tick after receiving the update

    • Positive values increase this delay further

  • Interpolation will end (entity fully in “current” state) in start_interpolation + interpolation_duration ticks after receiving the update

  • The interpolation target can be updated without setting start_interpolation, but it will still behave as if it was started at the moment of the last update to start_interpolation
    • That means that if the value is updated, but more than interpolation_duration ticks have passed since last start_interpolation update, the entity will immediately jump to new values

Common Properties

All display entity types have the following fields:
  • transformation – the transformation applied to model (after normal entity orientation). Defaults to identity. Interpolated

  • billboard – option to control if entity should pivot to face player when rendered:
    • fixed – no rotation (default)

    • vertical – entity can pivot around its vertical axis

    • horizontal – entity can pivot around its horizontal axis

    • center – entity can pivot around its center point

  • brightness – if present, overrides light values used for rendering. Omitted by default (which means rendering uses values from entity position). Object has two fields:
    • sky – value of skylight, 0..15

    • block – value of block light, 0..15

  • view_range – maximum view range of this entity. Actual distance depends on client-side render distance and entity distance scaling. Default value 1.0 (roughly the same as fireball)

  • shadow_radius – size of shadow. Defaults to 0 (no shadow). Interpolated

  • shadow_strength – strength of the shadow. Controls the opacity of the shadow as a function of distance to block below. Defaults to 1. Interpolated

  • width, height – describe size of culling bounding box
    • Bounding box spans vertically y to y+height and horizontally width/2 in all directions from entity position

    • If either field is set to 0, culling is disabled

    • Both default to 0

  • glow_color_override – override glow border color. Defaults to -1 (use team color). Alpha component is ignored

Item_Display

Displays a single item stack.
  • Stack can be changed with commands by setting slot container.0

Fields:
  • item – item stack to display. Same format as in inventory (example: {id: “minecraft:dirt”, Count: 1})

  • item_display – describes item model transform applied to item (as defined in display section in model JSON)
    • Values: none (default), thirdperson_lefthand, thirdperson_righthand, firstperson_lefthand, firstperson_righthand, head, gui, ground, fixed

Block_Display

Displays a block state.
  • Does not display all block entities, even if they would normally be created on block placement (like chests)

Fields:
  • block_state – block state to display. Same format as item held by endermen (example {Name:”minecraft:dirt”})

Text_Display

Displays a text component.

Fields:
  • text – text to display. Components are resolved with the context of the display entity

  • line_width – line width used to split lines (note: new lines can be also added with \n characters). Defaults to 200

  • text_opacity – opacity (alpha component) of rendered text. Defaults to 255. Interpolated

  • background – color of background. Includes alpha channel. Defaults to 0x40000000. Interpolated

  • default_background – if true, rendering uses default text background color (same as in chat). Defaults to false

  • shadow – whether the text should be displayed with a shadow. Defaults to false

  • see_through – whether the text should be visible through blocks. Defaults to false

  • alignment – how the text should be aligned
    • Values: center (default), left, right

Note: text display backgrounds uses new shader types rendertype_text_background and rendertype_text_background_see_through.

Interaction Entities

A new type of entity that records attacks (“left clicks”) and interactions (“right clicks”). Interactions are invisible and of a custom size.

Fields:
  • width: Width of the entity’s bounding box (default 1)

  • height: Height of the entity’s bounding box (default 1)

  • attack: Records the last attack action on the entity

  • interaction: Records the last interaction action on the entity

  • response: Boolean specifying if interacting should trigger a response (arm swing, sound effects, etc – default false)

Action Format

When an action is stored, it always has two fields:
  • player: The UUID (in standard integer array format) of the player performing the action

  • timestamp: The timestamp of the game tick when the event happened (stored as a long)

Advancement Triggers
  • Interacting with an Interaction entity triggers player_interacted_with_entity

  • Attacking an Interaction entity triggers player_hurt_entity

Execute On With Interactions

The Interaction entity targets the player who last interacted with it. That makes the following possible:
  • execute on attacker: execute as the last player who attacked the entity

  • execute on target: execute as the last player who interacted with the entity

Tags

Block Behavior
  • Fire burns out faster in certain biomes, and this is now controlled by the increased_fire_burnout biome tag

Mob Spawning
  • The only_allows_snow_and_gold_rabbits biome tag has been renamed to spawns_gold_rabbits to match its behavior

  • White Rabbit variants are now controlled by the spawns_white_rabbits biome tag

  • Fox variants are now controlled by the spawns_snow_foxes biome tag

Mob Behavior
  • Snow Golems melting in warm biomes is now controlled by the snow_golem_melts biome tag

  • Only mobs in the dismounts_underwater entity tag will now force the rider to dismount when underwater

Network Protocol
  • Clients now reset their Secure Chat session state when receiving the login packet

Packet Bundles
  • Added new delimiter packet to clientbound game protocol

  • All packets between two delimiters are guaranteed to be processed within the same tick

  • For security reasons this feature is not supported in the serverbound direction

Paletted Permutations
  • paletted_permutations is a new type of atlas configuration source used to dynamically generate new textures in memory based on a set of color palettes

  • Color palettes allow you to swap out the colors of a texture without having to supply all files for the variants of a texture in a resource pack

  • This is useful for things like armor trims, where you want to be able to change the color of parts of the armor without having to create a new texture for each color

  • The paletted_permutations source has a set of required parameters:
    • textures A list of namespaced locations of base textures
      • These textures will be used to generate variants of them that have been modified by color palettes

    • palette_key A namespaced location of a color palette key file
      • A color palette key is used to define the set of key pixel colors we want to swap out with the color palettes defined below

    • permutations A map of permutations from suffix to a namespaced location of a color palette file
      • The suffix is appended at the beginning to the resource location of the output variant textures, with a _ character separating the suffix and the base texture name

      • The color palette is a texture file with a set of pixels that are used for replacing pixels that match the color palette key in each base texture

      • The number of pixels in each color palette must be the same as that of the palette_key defined for this source

      • Key matching is done by comparing the RGB values of each pixel in the palette_key to the RGB values of each pixel in the color palette

      • The alpha channel is ignored for key matching, but in the resulting texture the alpha channel is multiplied with the color palette’s alpha channel

      • Pixels that do not match the palette_key are copied over to the resulting texture as-is

  • After defining a paletted_permutations source, you can then reference those namespaced output textures in other resources in your resource pack

For example, if you have the following paletted_permutations source:

Code:
{ "type": "paletted_permutations", "textures": [ "minecraft:item/leather_helmet", "minecraft:item/leather_chestplate", "minecraft:item/leather_leggings", "minecraft:item/leather_boots" ], "palette_key": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/leather_armor_color_key", "permutations": { "red": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/red", "green": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/green", "blue": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/blue" } }

You can then reference the resulting textures in other resources like this:

Code:
{ "textures": { "layer0": "minecraft:item/leather_helmet_red", "layer1": "minecraft:item/leather_chestplate_green", "layer2": "minecraft:item/leather_boots_blue" } }
Trim Patterns & Maternals
  • Trim patterns and materials for armor are defined by the server through the trim_pattern and trim_material registry respectively
    • As a result, new trim patterns and materials can be added via data packs

  • These are synchronized to clients when they join the server
    • However, clients must have an accompanying resource pack to see those registered trim patterns and materials

    • The paths to these textures are inferred based on the filename of the pattern json, and will try to find the textures within the same namespace as the trim pattern’s name field

  • The following data is defined by a trim pattern:
    • asset_id which is a namespaced id used to infer texture locations and localization

    • template_item which is the id of the smithing template item used to apply the trim pattern

    • description which is a text component used for displaying the pattern name of an armor trim when hovering an armor itemstack

  • The following data is defined by a trim material:
    • asset_name which is a string used as a suffix for armor trim texture locations

    • ingredient which is the id of the ingredient item used to apply the trim material

    • item_model_index which is a float which defines the item model override each armor item model should target to change their visuals for this material

    • override_armor_materials which is an optional map of armor material to overridden color palette
      • Map key is the armor material that this trim material wants to override with a different color palette

      • Map value is the name of the color palette that will be used when this trim material is applied to an armor piece with the corresponding armor material

    • description which is a text component used for displaying the material name of an armor trim when hovering an armor item stack
      • The style defined in this description is applied to the armor trim pattern description as well

Experimental Features

The following changes only apply when one or more Experiments is turned on, either by activating the corresponding experimental data pack or by turning it on in the Experiments screen while creating the world.
  • Added Smithing Template items

  • Redesigned the Smithing Table

Smithing Templates
  • Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications

  • Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Templates

  • Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to equipment
    • It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade

    • There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade

  • Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table

  • You can craft a copy of a Smithing Template in the Crafting Table with 7 diamonds + 1 block of material that the template is made out of + 1 smithing template, which will output 2 of the same Smithing Template

Netherite Equipment
  • Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template

  • Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests, and there is a guarantee of 2 in every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant

  • This change was made for a variety of reasons:
    • Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite

    • Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression

    • Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system

Armor Trims
  • You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table

  • Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits, and can only be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
    • All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material

    • To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory

  • Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Template:
    • Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim

    • Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim

    • Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim

    • Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim

    • Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim

    • Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim

    • Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim

    • End City: Spire Armor Trim

  • Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
    • The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death

  • Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!

  • An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
    • The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim

    • The material is defined by what ingredient you used to apply the trim and represents the color of the trim

  • The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
    • Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz

Sniffer
  • The Sniffer is the mob vote winner of Minecraft Live 2022

  • Sniffers cannot be tempted or tamed

  • Sniffers are passive, friendly mobs

  • Sniffers sniff the air and occasionally dig for seeds, which produce a Torchflower Seed

  • Sniffers can be bred by feeding them Torchflower Seeds

  • The Sniffer is currently only available as a Spawn Egg in the creative inventory

Torchflowers
  • The Torchflower seed can be planted on farmland and grows into a flower

  • The seed can be used to breed two Sniffers

  • The full-grown flower can be harvested and replanted but can also be crafted into a dye

Cherry Groves

    • The biome can be found in the mountains, in similar places as Meadows

  • Added a new Cherry wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can make from it

  • Cherry Leaves have pink particles falling underneath

  • Added a new Pink Petals block with lots of pink flowers on the ground
    • Each pink petal block can contain up to 4 petals

    • Using bone meal on it increases the number of petals

    • Placing a petal on a block increases the number of petals

    • Mining the block gives you the number of petals in the block

Archaeology

The Brush
  • The brush is a craftable item you can use to brush things

Suspicious Sand
  • Can be found in Desert Temples and Desert Wells

  • This fragile block is hard to spot and easy to destroy, so be careful!

  • Brushing the Suspicious Sand with a Brush will extract objects that were buried long ago

Pottery Shards
  • Pottery Shards have pictures on them

  • They cannot be crafted and are only found by brushing Suspicious Sand

Decorated Pots
  • Crafting four Pottery Shards together will create a Decorated Pot with a picture on each side

  • Brick items can be used instead of Pottery Shards in the Decorated Pot recipe
    • The sides that were made from Brick items will not have pictures

Ride

New command to allow entities to start or stop riding other entities.

Syntax:
  • ride mount
    • Makes a single target mount a single vehicle

    • The command will fail if:

      • target and vehicle are the same entity

      • vehicle is already a passenger (direct or indirect) of target

  • ride dismount
    • Dismounts target from any vehicle it is riding

    • Fails if target is not riding anything

Damage Types

Damage Types are a new registry that can be extended through data packs. A Damage Type determines how damage is handled by the game. This includes which attributes the damage has as well as which death message is used when an entity dies due to that type of damage.

Example:

Code:
{ "exhaustion": 0.1, "message_id": "arrow", "scaling": "when_caused_by_living_non_player" }

Fields:
  • message_id: The message id used for deaths caused by this damage type
    • Will be combined with other string fragments to form a translation key

  • exhaustion: The amount of hunger exhaustion caused by this damage type

  • scaling: Whether this damage type scales with difficulty levels. Possible values:
    • never: Damage is always the same

    • always: Damage always scales with difficulty

    • when_caused_by_living_non_player: Damage scales with difficulty if it was caused by a living entity who is not a player

  • effects: Optional field controlling how damage manifests when inflicted on players. Possible values:
    • hurt (default): the default hurt sound

    • thorns: Thorns hurt sound

    • drowning: Drowning sound

    • burning: A single tick of burning sound

    • poking: Berry bush poke sound

    • freezing: Freeze tick sound

  • death_message_type: Optional field that controls if special death message variants are used. Possible values:
    • default (default): No special death message logic is applied

    • fall_variants: Show a variant of fall damage death instead of a regular death message, e.g. death.fell.assist.item

    • intentional_game_design: Show the intentional game design message instead of a regular death message

Damage type tags control many aspects of how damage from different sources is interpreted.

Predicates

Damage Type Predicates

The following fields have been removed from damage type predicates: is_projectile, is_explosion, bypasses_armor,bypasses_invulnerability, bypasses_magic, is_fire, is_magic, is_lightning.

A new tags array has been added, with the predicate matching if all entries match. Each entry has two fields:
  • id: The ID of a damage type tag

  • expected: Whether the damage is expected to have or not have the tag for the predicate to match

Game Rules
  • Added commandModificationBlockLimit, controlling the maximum number of blocks changed in one execution of clone, fill and fillbiome

  • Added doVinesSpread game rule, determining if vines will spread to nearby blocks
    • Defaults to true

Text Components

Added an optional fallback field to translate text components.
  • The new field is a string that will be used in place of translation if it is missing

  • If fallback is missing, the old behavior (i.e. using the key itself as the translation) is preserved

Display Entities

Three new entities have been added for flexible display of items, blocks, and text
  • Those entities, similarily to markers, don’t tick and have no collisions or physics

  • Models render at entity position, with normal rotation around X and Y axis (so it can be controlled by teleport commands), but also with additional arbitrary model transform

Common Data Types

Tag contents for display entities include some new data types with a complex structure. Any form can be used for modifying data, but only one form is used for saving.

Transformations

Arbitrary affine transform.
  • Matrix form: array of 16 numbers, describing row-major matrix

  • Decomposed form (used for saving): object with following fields:
    • translation – 3d vector

    • left_rotation, right_rotation – rotation

    • scale – 3d vector

    • Transforms are composed in order translation, left_rotation, scale, right_rotation

Rotations
  • Quaternion form (used for saving): array of 4 numbers, describing components (x, y, z, w)

  • Axis-angle form: object with following fields:
    • axis – unit 3d vector

    • angle – in radians

Interpolation

Some properties of display entities can be interpolated. That means that clients will see gradual changes over time instead of instantaneous jumps.

Display entities keep track of current and previous values of interpolated values:
  • All properties marked as “interpolated” are part of a single interpolation set

  • Any update to interpolated property will cause all values of interpolation set to be saved as “current”
    • Data command executions that do not change value of property (even if it’s present in NBT) do not count as updates

    • Updates are synchronized to clients at most once per tick, so multiple updates within command will still count as a single update

  • The last values generated before an update are saved as “previous”

  • If interpolation is enabled, the entity will transition between “previous” and “current” values over interpolation_duration ticks

  • Interpolation can be started by writing to the start_interpolation field (this field is not normally present in NBT)
    • The value in this field is a delay in ticks between client receiving the update and interpolation start

    • A value of 0 ticks means that interpolation will start in next client tick after receiving the update

    • Positive values increase this delay further

  • Interpolation will end (entity fully in “current” state) in start_interpolation + interpolation_duration ticks after receiving the update

  • The interpolation target can be updated without setting start_interpolation, but it will still behave as if it was started at the moment of the last update to start_interpolation
    • That means that if the value is updated, but more than interpolation_duration ticks have passed since last start_interpolation update, the entity will immediately jump to new values

Common Properties

All display entity types have the following fields:
  • transformation – the transformation applied to model (after normal entity orientation). Defaults to identity. Interpolated

  • billboard – option to control if entity should pivot to face player when rendered:
    • fixed – no rotation (default)

    • vertical – entity can pivot around its vertical axis

    • horizontal – entity can pivot around its horizontal axis

    • center – entity can pivot around its center point

  • brightness – if present, overrides light values used for rendering. Omitted by default (which means rendering uses values from entity position). Object has two fields:
    • sky – value of skylight, 0..15

    • block – value of block light, 0..15

  • view_range – maximum view range of this entity. Actual distance depends on client-side render distance and entity distance scaling. Default value 1.0 (roughly the same as fireball)

  • shadow_radius – size of shadow. Defaults to 0 (no shadow). Interpolated

  • shadow_strength – strength of the shadow. Controls the opacity of the shadow as a function of distance to block below. Defaults to 1. Interpolated

  • width, height – describe size of culling bounding box
    • Bounding box spans vertically y to y+height and horizontally width/2 in all directions from entity position

    • If either field is set to 0, culling is disabled

    • Both default to 0

  • glow_color_override – override glow border color. Defaults to -1 (use team color). Alpha component is ignored

Item_Display

Displays a single item stack.
  • Stack can be changed with commands by setting slot container.0

Fields:
  • item – item stack to display. Same format as in inventory (example: {id: “minecraft:dirt”, Count: 1})

  • item_display – describes item model transform applied to item (as defined in display section in model JSON)
    • Values: none (default), thirdperson_lefthand, thirdperson_righthand, firstperson_lefthand, firstperson_righthand, head, gui, ground, fixed

Block_Display

Displays a block state.
  • Does not display all block entities, even if they would normally be created on block placement (like chests)

Fields:
  • block_state – block state to display. Same format as item held by endermen (example {Name:”minecraft:dirt”})

Text_Display

Displays a text component.

Fields:
  • text – text to display. Components are resolved with the context of the display entity

  • line_width – line width used to split lines (note: new lines can be also added with \n characters). Defaults to 200

  • text_opacity – opacity (alpha component) of rendered text. Defaults to 255. Interpolated

  • background – color of background. Includes alpha channel. Defaults to 0x40000000. Interpolated

  • default_background – if true, rendering uses default text background color (same as in chat). Defaults to false

  • shadow – whether the text should be displayed with a shadow. Defaults to false

  • see_through – whether the text should be visible through blocks. Defaults to false

  • alignment – how the text should be aligned
    • Values: center (default), left, right

Note: text display backgrounds uses new shader types rendertype_text_background and rendertype_text_background_see_through.

Interaction Entities

A new type of entity that records attacks (“left clicks”) and interactions (“right clicks”). Interactions are invisible and of a custom size.

Fields:
  • width: Width of the entity’s bounding box (default 1)

  • height: Height of the entity’s bounding box (default 1)

  • attack: Records the last attack action on the entity

  • interaction: Records the last interaction action on the entity

  • response: Boolean specifying if interacting should trigger a response (arm swing, sound effects, etc – default false)

Action Format

When an action is stored, it always has two fields:
  • player: The UUID (in standard integer array format) of the player performing the action

  • timestamp: The timestamp of the game tick when the event happened (stored as a long)

Advancement Triggers
  • Interacting with an Interaction entity triggers player_interacted_with_entity

  • Attacking an Interaction entity triggers player_hurt_entity

Execute On With Interactions

The Interaction entity targets the player who last interacted with it. That makes the following possible:
  • execute on attacker: execute as the last player who attacked the entity

  • execute on target: execute as the last player who interacted with the entity

Tags

Block Behavior
  • Fire burns out faster in certain biomes, and this is now controlled by the increased_fire_burnout biome tag

Mob Spawning
  • The only_allows_snow_and_gold_rabbits biome tag has been renamed to spawns_gold_rabbits to match its behavior

  • White Rabbit variants are now controlled by the spawns_white_rabbits biome tag

  • Fox variants are now controlled by the spawns_snow_foxes biome tag

Mob Behavior
  • Snow Golems melting in warm biomes is now controlled by the snow_golem_melts biome tag

  • Only mobs in the dismounts_underwater entity tag will now force the rider to dismount when underwater

Network Protocol
  • Clients now reset their Secure Chat session state when receiving the login packet

Packet Bundles
  • Added new delimiter packet to clientbound game protocol

  • All packets between two delimiters are guaranteed to be processed within the same tick

  • For security reasons this feature is not supported in the serverbound direction

Paletted Permutations
  • paletted_permutations is a new type of atlas configuration source used to dynamically generate new textures in memory based on a set of color palettes

  • Color palettes allow you to swap out the colors of a texture without having to supply all files for the variants of a texture in a resource pack

  • This is useful for things like armor trims, where you want to be able to change the color of parts of the armor without having to create a new texture for each color

  • The paletted_permutations source has a set of required parameters:
    • textures A list of namespaced locations of base textures
      • These textures will be used to generate variants of them that have been modified by color palettes

    • palette_key A namespaced location of a color palette key file
      • A color palette key is used to define the set of key pixel colors we want to swap out with the color palettes defined below

    • permutations A map of permutations from suffix to a namespaced location of a color palette file
      • The suffix is appended at the beginning to the resource location of the output variant textures, with a _ character separating the suffix and the base texture name

      • The color palette is a texture file with a set of pixels that are used for replacing pixels that match the color palette key in each base texture

      • The number of pixels in each color palette must be the same as that of the palette_key defined for this source

      • Key matching is done by comparing the RGB values of each pixel in the palette_key to the RGB values of each pixel in the color palette

      • The alpha channel is ignored for key matching, but in the resulting texture the alpha channel is multiplied with the color palette’s alpha channel

      • Pixels that do not match the palette_key are copied over to the resulting texture as-is

  • After defining a paletted_permutations source, you can then reference those namespaced output textures in other resources in your resource pack

For example, if you have the following paletted_permutations source:

Code:
{ "type": "paletted_permutations", "textures": [ "minecraft:item/leather_helmet", "minecraft:item/leather_chestplate", "minecraft:item/leather_leggings", "minecraft:item/leather_boots" ], "palette_key": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/leather_armor_color_key", "permutations": { "red": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/red", "green": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/green", "blue": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/blue" } }

You can then reference the resulting textures in other resources like this:

Code:
{ "textures": { "layer0": "minecraft:item/leather_helmet_red", "layer1": "minecraft:item/leather_chestplate_green", "layer2": "minecraft:item/leather_boots_blue" } }
Trim Patterns & Maternals
  • Trim patterns and materials for armor are defined by the server through the trim_pattern and trim_material registry respectively
    • As a result, new trim patterns and materials can be added via data packs

  • These are synchronized to clients when they join the server
    • However, clients must have an accompanying resource pack to see those registered trim patterns and materials

    • The paths to these textures are inferred based on the filename of the pattern json, and will try to find the textures within the same namespace as the trim pattern’s name field

  • The following data is defined by a trim pattern:
    • asset_id which is a namespaced id used to infer texture locations and localization

    • template_item which is the id of the smithing template item used to apply the trim pattern

    • description which is a text component used for displaying the pattern name of an armor trim when hovering an armor itemstack

  • The following data is defined by a trim material:
    • asset_name which is a string used as a suffix for armor trim texture locations

    • ingredient which is the id of the ingredient item used to apply the trim material

    • item_model_index which is a float which defines the item model override each armor item model should target to change their visuals for this material

    • override_armor_materials which is an optional map of armor material to overridden color palette
      • Map key is the armor material that this trim material wants to override with a different color palette

      • Map value is the name of the color palette that will be used when this trim material is applied to an armor piece with the corresponding armor material

    • description which is a text component used for displaying the material name of an armor trim when hovering an armor item stack
      • The style defined in this description is applied to the armor trim pattern description as well

Experimental Features

The following changes only apply when one or more Experiments is turned on, either by activating the corresponding experimental data pack or by turning it on in the Experiments screen while creating the world.
  • Added Smithing Template items

  • Redesigned the Smithing Table

  • Changed how Netherite equipment is crafted

  • Added a new armor trimming system to visually customize your armor

Smithing Templates
  • Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications

  • Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Templates

  • Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to equipment
    • It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade

    • There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade

  • Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table

  • You can craft a copy of a Smithing Template in the Crafting Table with 7 diamonds + 1 block of material that the template is made out of + 1 smithing template, which will output 2 of the same Smithing Template

Netherite Equipment
  • Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template

  • Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests, and there is a guarantee of 2 in every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant

  • This change was made for a variety of reasons:
    • Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite

    • Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression

    • Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system

Armor Trims
  • You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table

  • Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits, and can only be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
    • All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material

    • To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory

  • Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Template:
    • Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim

    • Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim

    • Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim

    • Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim

    • Ocean Monument: Tide Armor Trim

    • Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim

    • Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim

    • Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim

    • Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim

    • End City: Spire Armor Trim

  • Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
    • The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death

  • Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!

  • An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
    • The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim

    • The material is defined by what ingredient you used to apply the trim and represents the color of the trim

  • The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
    • Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz

Sniffer
  • The Sniffer is the mob vote winner of Minecraft Live 2022

  • Sniffers cannot be tempted or tamed

  • Sniffers are passive, friendly mobs

  • Sniffers sniff the air and occasionally dig for seeds, which produce a Torchflower Seed

  • Sniffers can be bred by feeding them Torchflower Seeds

  • The Sniffer is currently only available as a Spawn Egg in the creative inventory

Torchflowers

Fixed Bugs in 1.19.4

Around 150 bugs were fixed in this release. View the list on the issue tracker.]]> <![CDATA[News - Minecraft – 1.19.70]]> https://sickgaming.net/thread-101417.html Thu, 07 Sep 2023 11:28:36 -0200 xSicKxBot]]> https://sickgaming.net/thread-101417.html News - Minecraft – 1.19.70

  • Smash a Decorated Pot with any block-breaking tool to break it apart and get the Pottery Shards back! Or hit it with your fist to pick up the pot without breaking it.

Suspicious Sand
  • Desert Temples and Desert Wells now contain Suspicious Sand. This fragile block is hard to spot and easy to destroy, so be careful!

  • If you manage to find the Suspicious Sand and brush it with your Brush, you will extract objects that were buried long ago.

  • We’re giving you an early look at these Archaeology features. We want to spend more time developing them. Please let us know where you think we can improve or expand!

Sniffer

  • Crafting Table component no longer appends “tile.” when defaulting to use block name for crafting table label

Wool Blocks

Wool has been flattened into separate blocks, namely:
  • white_wool

  • orange_wool

  • magenta_wool

  • light_blue_wool

  • yellow_wool

  • lime_wool

  • pink_wool

  • gray_wool

  • light_gray_wool

Commands, recipes, loot tables, etc. will still work with wool and an aux value or color state, but wool will not be suggested in the command prompt. Instead, the new wool block names will.

Commands
  • Fixed a crash with deferred command execution when the executing actor is removed before execution (MCPE-165374)

  • Summon command no longer causes some entities to be spawned at an angle

  • Removed support for field “data” in commands /clone, /execute, /fill, /setblock, and /testforblock beyond version 1.19.70, eg. /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:wool 1 will only have its equivalent /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:wool [“color”:”orange”] supported
    • Here are some additional examples[JW1] [JW2] [JW3] :
      • /setblock ~~~ green_wool [] [] is equivalent to the old 0

      • /setblock ~~~ wood [“wood_type”: “oak”]

      • /setblock ~~~ coral [“dead_bit” : true , “coral_color” : “blue” ]

      • /setblock ~~~ coral_fan [“coral_fan_direction” : 1, “coral_color” : “pink”]

BlockPermutation

BlockPermutation has been significantly refactored! Every BlockPermutation now share a unique JavaScript handle so exact equality (
Code:
===
) will work for permutations that share exactly the same state values. We’ve also added utility methods that make interacting with permutations easier, which includes the removal of the XBlockProperty classes and now directly return properties (boolean | number | string) or a while collection of properties ( Record)
  • Added method matches(blockName: string, properties?: BlockProperties): boolean which is used to match a block with optional states against a BlockPermutation

  • Added method withProperty(name: string, value: boolean | number | string): BlockPermutation; which returns a new block permutation with a given property set to a specific value. Throws if the provided data cannot be resolved as a valid block permutation

  • Added function static resolve(blockName: string, properties?: BlockProperties): BlockPermutation which resolves a BlockPermutation from a block name and optional states. Throws if the provided data cannot be resolved as a valid block permutation

  • Updated methods getProperty and getAllProperties to return values directly instead of wrapped into class objects. Example code:

Before:

Code:
const blockPermutation = MinecraftBlockTypes.stoneSlab.createDefaultBlockPermutation();
Code:
blockPermutation.getProperty(MinecraftBlockProperties.stoneSlabType).value = 'stone_brick';
Code:
blockPermutation.getProperty(MinecraftBlockProperties.topSlotBit).value = true;

Now:

Code:
const blockPermutation = BlockPermutation.resolve('minecraft:stone_slab', {
Code:
stone_slab_type: 'stone_brick',
Code:
top_slot_bit: true,
Code:
});

BlockProperties
  • Added a new class to expose BlockPropertyType

BlockPropertyType
  • Added a new class to track “definitional” data about block properties. This is how you can find which values are valid for each block property

1.19.70 Patch Notes

The Sniffer and Archaeology are now available for players to test with this update.  Keep in mind that these features are not complete and are considered unfinished.  To enable these work-in-project features enable the “Next Major Update” toggle in your world settings.

The update will be released later on the Switch console.
  • Fixed multiple crashes that could occur during gameplay

  • When breeding horses, the baby horse now has a chance of being better than its parents in speed, jump strength, and health

  • Improvements to player emotes

  • Take an early look at archaeology and the sniffer mob with experimental features

  • Fixes to over 30 community-reported issues

[b]Changes[/b]

Player Emotes

Several improvements have come to the emote system in Bedrock Edition!
  • Emote usage now appears in the chat

  • The emote wheel now has four slots with an improved interface

  • Quick emoting with new hotkeys

  • Easier sorting of emotes

  • Creating a new character now automatically applies four default emotes

[b]Vanilla Parity[/b]

Improvements have been made with vanilla parity to align with Java Edition, especially with horse breeding, mobs, and blocks.

Gameplay
  • Fixed an issue where the night could not be skipped if one or more players were on the death screen

  • Eating and drinking animations are now always centered, regardless of screen aspect ratio

Mobs
  • Breeding horses can now produce random variants (MCPE-129071)

  • When breeding horses, the baby Horse now has a chance of being better than its parents in speed, jump strength, and health. This change is intended to make Horse breeding a viable way of getting great Horses if a player starts with good parents and puts in enough time and Golden Carrots

  • Horses cannot be pushed over Fences covered by Carpets anymore (MCPE-164717)

  • Ghasts’ sound volume will now fade the further they are from the player (MCPE-35222)

  • Villagers will now emit anger particles when hit by a player outside of a village

  • Fixed a bug where Zombified Piglins would spawn in the Nether in light levels above 11

  • Minecarts can now eject mobs into liquid blocks (MCPE-120078)

  • Witches will now drink a Fire Resistance Potion when standing on a Campfire

Blocks
  • Bells that are connected to multiple blocks no longer drop when one block is broken

  • Note Block sound attenuation over a distance is now linear (MCPE-164935)

  • Impact sounds of projectiles on Amethyst blocks and clusters are now audible

  • Dead Bush will now drop Sticks when broken with any tool except Shears, even those with the Silk Touch enchantment. Vines will drop nothing in the same situation (MCPE-163246)

[b]Experimental Features[/b]

Archaeology
  • Added the Brush item

  • Added the Decorated Pot block

  • Added four Pottery Shards (Arms Up, Skull, Prize, and Archer)

  • Added the Suspicious Sand block

  • Added Suspicious Sand to the Desert Temple

  • Added Suspicious Sand to the Desert Well

Brush
  • The Brush is a craftable item you can use to brush things

Pottery Shards and Decorated Pots
  • Pottery Shards have pictures on them. They cannot be crafted and must be found in the world. Hint: you will need a Brush! By crafting four of these together you can create a Decorated Pot with a picture on each side.

  • You can also use Brick items instead of Pottery Shards in the crafting recipe. The sides that were made from Brick items will not have pictures.

  • Smash a Decorated Pot with any block-breaking tool to break it apart and get the Pottery Shards back! Or hit it with your fist to pick up the pot without breaking it.

Suspicious Sand
  • Desert Temples and Desert Wells now contain Suspicious Sand. This fragile block is hard to spot and easy to destroy, so be careful!

  • If you manage to find the Suspicious Sand and brush it with your Brush, you will extract objects that were buried long ago.

  • We’re giving you an early look at these Archaeology features. We want to spend more time developing them. Please let us know where you think we can improve or expand!

Sniffer
  • The Sniffer is the mob vote winner of Minecraft Live 2022 and the first [HS1] extinct mob brought to life and added to the game

  • Sniffers cannot be tempted or tamed

  • Sniffers are passive friendly mobs

  • Sniffer sniffs in the air and occasionally digs for seeds

Torchflower
  • The Torchflower seed can be planted on farmland and grows into a flower

  • The seed can be used to breed two Sniffers

  • The full-grown flower can be harvested and replanted but can also be crafted into a dye

  • In JSON formats 1.19.70 and later, blocks fail to load if the “condition” field in Block Permutations is not a valid Molang string

  • Crafting Table component no longer appends “tile.” when defaulting to use block name for crafting table label

Wool Blocks

Wool has been flattened into separate blocks, namely:
  • white_wool

  • orange_wool

  • magenta_wool

  • light_blue_wool

  • yellow_wool

  • lime_wool

  • pink_wool

  • gray_wool

  • light_gray_wool

  • cyan_wool

  • purple_wool

  • blue_wool

  • brown_wool

  • green_wool

  • red_wool

  • black_wool

Commands, recipes, loot tables, etc. will still work with wool and an aux value or color state, but wool will not be suggested in the command prompt. Instead, the new wool block names will.

Commands
  • Fixed a crash with deferred command execution when the executing actor is removed before execution (MCPE-165374)

  • Summon command no longer causes some entities to be spawned at an angle

  • Removed support for field “data” in commands /clone, /execute, /fill, /setblock, and /testforblock beyond version 1.19.70, eg. /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:wool 1 will only have its equivalent /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:wool [“color”:”orange”] supported
    • Here are some additional examples[JW1] [JW2] [JW3] :
      • /setblock ~~~ green_wool [] [] is equivalent to the old 0

      • /setblock ~~~ wood [“wood_type”: “oak”]

      • /setblock ~~~ coral [“dead_bit” : true , “coral_color” : “blue” ]

      • /setblock ~~~ coral_fan [“coral_fan_direction” : 1, “coral_color” : “pink”]

      • /setblock ~~~ wool [“color”: “blue”]

      • /fill ~ ~ ~ ~5 ~5 ~5 gold_block [] replace air

    • More information about commands can be found at learn.microsoft.com/minecraft/creator/commands

  • Volume arguments no longer floor the selector’s position (MCPE-162237)

  • Selecting targets by volume will now select all entities whose hitbox collides with the volume box. This is versioned for 1.19.70 and later (MCPE-162237)
    • Previous behavior works as expected on versions less than 1.19.70

  • Volume arguments for selectors (dx, dy, dz) now support float values (MCPE-163863)

  • Replaceitem and loot replace block commands no longer place items in Cauldrons (MCPE-129472)

  • Rotation in the teleport command is now relative to the executor of the command instead of the target. Old usage of rotations in commands will stay relative to the target mob for backward compatibility

Mobs
  • Witch potion drinking and ranged attack behavior is now defined in its .json file

BlockPermutation

BlockPermutation has been significantly refactored! Every BlockPermutation now share a unique JavaScript handle so exact equality (
Code:
===
) will work for permutations that share exactly the same state values. We’ve also added utility methods that make interacting with permutations easier, which includes the removal of the XBlockProperty classes and now directly return properties (boolean | number | string) or a while collection of properties ( Record)
  • Added method matches(blockName: string, properties?: BlockProperties): boolean which is used to match a block with optional states against a BlockPermutation

  • Added method withProperty(name: string, value: boolean | number | string): BlockPermutation; which returns a new block permutation with a given property set to a specific value. Throws if the provided data cannot be resolved as a valid block permutation

  • Added function static resolve(blockName: string, properties?: BlockProperties): BlockPermutation which resolves a BlockPermutation from a block name and optional states. Throws if the provided data cannot be resolved as a valid block permutation

  • Updated methods getProperty and getAllProperties to return values directly instead of wrapped into class objects. Example code:

Before:

Code:
const blockPermutation = MinecraftBlockTypes.stoneSlab.createDefaultBlockPermutation();
Code:
blockPermutation.getProperty(MinecraftBlockProperties.stoneSlabType).value = 'stone_brick';
Code:
blockPermutation.getProperty(MinecraftBlockProperties.topSlotBit).value = true;

Now:

Code:
const blockPermutation = BlockPermutation.resolve('minecraft:stone_slab', {
Code:
stone_slab_type: 'stone_brick',
Code:
top_slot_bit: true,
Code:
});

BlockProperties
  • Added a new class to expose BlockPropertyType

BlockPropertyType
  • Added a new class to track “definitional” data about block properties. This is how you can find which values are valid for each block property

Data-Driven Custom Blocks
  • Released block properties and permutations out of experimental in JSON formats 1.19.70 and higher

  • Added a content warning when loading the world with more than 65536 custom block permutations. Custom block permutation counts are logged in debug log

Minecraft Preview is available on Xbox, Windows 10/11, and iOS devices.  BETA is available on Android devices.  Android users will need to wait until early next week to receive the BETA update due to unavoidable circumstances.

[b]Experimental Features[/b]

[b]Cherry Grove[/b]
  • Introducing the Cherry Grove biome, with pretty Cherry Blossom trees. You can find it in the mountains, like Meadows

  • It has a new flower, Pink Petals, as ground cover, which can be crafted into Pink Dye

  • Pigs, Rabbits, Sheep, and Bees spawn there

  • Comes with a new wood set for the Cherry Blossom trees

[b]Decorated Pot[/b]
  • Tweaked the Decorated Pot neck based on feedback (MCPE-167168)
    • With the former pot, we decided that the pot’s neck would clip with blocks so it would be extra flexible to build with. However, we’ve had some Z-fighting issues which means that 2 objects are in the same exact position and this causes flickering. With this new block model, we prevent that and the pot looks a little bit more complex!

  • Decorated Pot no longer provides support for blocks wanting to attach to its side faces (MCPE-167165)

  • Decorated Pot is not stackable in Inventory (MCPE-167223)

[b]Experimental Features[/b]

[b]Cherry Grove[/b]

With this new block model, we prevent that and the pot looks a little bit more complex!

  • Decorated Pot is not stackable in Inventory (MCPE-167223)

Zrips: https://www.zrips.net/itemshop/

Felt like this method/tutorial should be let known. The method on the website kind of points in one direction, and doesn't quite touch base on how to get a decent, server/admin shop setup.

With Residences (another plugin offered by zrips), you are able to create shops within also. That has not been incorporated into this yet.

Dynamic Signs could be used if you like editing from config file. Must first be setup for each sign. Not very intuitive. if you use '/dsign' or '/cmi dsign' while looking at a dynamic sign, you can edit it. To make a dynamic sign, you place a sign, then run the following

Command:
Code:
/cmi dsign new
Note* Must be looking at a sign.

Config File it created: dynamicSigns.yml
Example:
Code:
'1':   Interval: 5.0   Range: 8   Personal: true   Lines:   - {#dfcd6f}Bread   - 'Price: {#24500f}50₿'   - {#1c39bb}Click to BUY

The issue with using Dynamic sign, is if you use sign edit '/se [linenumber] text' the dynamic sign just goes obsolete. So it is recommended to NOT use /se with dynamic signs. All of these are separate features and have to be used somewhat differently from each other. Or in certain fashions to work correctly.


Interactive Commands;
Using IC, you can view all IC's available with '/ic' or '/cmi ic'
Also, once a sign has been made it will not update from config. It will be a static sign that's intractable. Using this method doesn't make it easy to edit signs already made.

Creating an InteractiveCommand Sign:

IC Method 1:
Method 1 TL;DR: Create a sign with /ic, apply permissions, use [ic:icname] in first line of sign upon creation. Doesn't work any other way. /cmi reload doesn't reload config SignLines.


Command:

Code:
/cmi ic new name-of-sign/shop

Config File: interactiveCommands.yml
Code:
# Use [ic:[icname]] in first line of sign. Make sure to give permissions for cmi.interactivesign.* to user posting goldappless:   Locations:   - world1;-1066.0;71.0;-552.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 10000   - cmi give [playerName] golden_apple   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Golden Apple placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Golden Apple'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}10000₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true sellshop:   Commands: [] carrotshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;71.0;-555.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 50   - cmi give [playerName] carrot   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Carrot placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Carrot'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}50₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true cakeshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;71.0;-554.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 150   - cmi give [playerName] cake   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Cake placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Cake'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}150₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true applesshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1066.0;72.0;-553.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 100   - cmi give [playerName] apple   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Apple placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Apples'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}100₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true breadshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;71.0;-552.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 50   - cmi give [playerName] bread   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Bread placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Bread'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}50₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true eggsshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;72.0;-553.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 50   - cmi give [playerName] egg   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Egg placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Egg'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}50₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true sugarshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;71.0;-556.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 50   - cmi give [playerName] sugar   - ' '   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Sugar placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Sugar'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}50₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true

You can use the sign name like so
Code:
[ic:applesshop]
In the first line of the sign only when you first place the sign. You must remove and replace the sign to name again with Interactive Command options and sign lines.

If you run
Code:
/ic

You will get a list of InteractiveCommands you have created. Or option to create more by clicking GREEN + sign.

[Image: NxsvdGz.png]

From here you can click the InteractiveCommand you want and make it public.
[Image: PvA74ct.png]
You should be able to see what the sign should have in the top line here also.
Make sure to
[Image: kLL6Ye5.png]
Enabled, requires permission to place the sign.
Also add that permission or cmi.interactivesign.* to the user or group trying to create the signs.

This only works when you first create the sign. Sign Edit will mess it up, along with dynamic sign. So don't use those on the sign once you get it working.

With IC, you can edit signs in the config file if you used [ic:[icname]] in top line of sign:
Code:
apples-shop:   Locations:   - world1;-1066.0;71.0;-555.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 100   - cmi give [playerName] apple   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Apples'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}100₿'   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'
The lines don't seem to update with /cmi reload.
So doesn't seem to be a quick way to update compared to dynamic signs. It will reload with the command above.

You can also edit sign lines using /ic click the ic,
and look for [EditSignLines] in the new conext menu followed with a click.
Now each line is editable with a click.
Example:
[Image: VsYIJMo.png]

If you change it to public status, anyone can paste the IC sign.
If you enable [ReqPerm], any user with cmi.interactivesign.[icname] permission node will be able to paste that IC sign.
You could give admin cmi.interactivesign.* for access to all signs.
Locations in file are updated automatically.

cmi.interactivesign.[icname] – Allows to create interactive signs when using [ic:[icName]] as top line of sign

As you can see, you can further narrow it down per group in Lucky Perms (permission software).
Have VIP members able to use signs, or maybe user shops can come into play. cmi pay command can be used etc.

Note* Editing from config and then editing from GUI can turn into a hassle. Be sure your copy is updated everytime you make an edit. Otherwise some changes won't be saved, or some changes will be overwritten. Editing sign lines DOESN'T auto update in game.

IC Method 2:
Method 2 TL;DR: You can preformat a sign in game using /se or /dsign and apply an interactive sign to the block you are looking at.

Command:
Code:
/cmi ic new name-of-sign/shop

There should be a command to auto bind to the block you are facing when inputting that command. I'm not sure of it at this moment.

Instead, click the + button after you run the command. It will add the block you are looking at when looking at a sign (or hologram, or whatever object really).

[Image: dIo3cmk.png]

You can use this exact script from above, just delete the location for everything, and in game run '/cmi ic'. Click the item you want to add a location for. Then click the '+' button to use the location you are looking at.

If you use the + button to add the sign instead of using the [ic:[icname]] in the first line, you can use sign edit (/se) or dynamic sign (/dsign) on the sign to manage it.
This does dis-associate the InteractiveCommand sign-lines with the sign though. Rather annoying it doesn't work like dynamic signs and reload anytime the top line says [ic:icname], so keep in mind that little bug.

And that's the end of IC Method 2.

You can technically have any block, hologram w/wo floating icon, or even entities as right clickable. Have a sign or another hologram line to explain the price. Only limited by your imagination it seems.

In image example below you will see I have setup a hologram in front of a sign, but when you right click the sign it will buy the item floating.

[Image: 6iarLYq.png]

You could have the item floating right clickable in hologram also to buy. Not covered here yet.


Hologram Sell Shops:

You could use hologram with pages, and each page would be a different item. just right click the 'Buy' line to buy the item, using commands from above. May look sleek. Will have to try it later.

Note*

Priority of Sign features are like so

Sign Edit > Dynamic Signs > Interactive Commands

If you use sign edit, that sign will be dis-associated with Dynamic sign or Interactive commands. So SE (Sign edit) takes precedence over the other features. Then dynamic sign, I believe will take precedence over IC signs. So if you setup an IC, then use DS on it, you no longer can edit with IC. You can always change the commands on IC, just won't have access to edit SignLines because the sign has been dis-associated. Using IC to create a sign, changes made in config aren't static after a sign has been made using IC.

Hope this helps others.

Zrips: https://www.zrips.net/itemshop/

Felt like this method/tutorial should be let known. The method on the website kind of points in one direction, and doesn't quite touch base on how to get a decent, server/admin shop setup.

With Residences (another plugin offered by zrips), you are able to create shops within also. That has not been incorporated into this yet.

Dynamic Signs could be used if you like editing from config file. Must first be setup for each sign. Not very intuitive. if you use '/dsign' or '/cmi dsign' while looking at a dynamic sign, you can edit it. To make a dynamic sign, you place a sign, then run the following

Command:
Code:
/cmi dsign new
Note* Must be looking at a sign.

Config File it created: dynamicSigns.yml
Example:
Code:
'1':   Interval: 5.0   Range: 8   Personal: true   Lines:   - {#dfcd6f}Bread   - 'Price: {#24500f}50₿'   - {#1c39bb}Click to BUY

The issue with using Dynamic sign, is if you use sign edit '/se [linenumber] text' the dynamic sign just goes obsolete. So it is recommended to NOT use /se with dynamic signs. All of these are separate features and have to be used somewhat differently from each other. Or in certain fashions to work correctly.


Interactive Commands;
Using IC, you can view all IC's available with '/ic' or '/cmi ic'
Also, once a sign has been made it will not update from config. It will be a static sign that's intractable. Using this method doesn't make it easy to edit signs already made.

Creating an InteractiveCommand Sign:

IC Method 1:
Method 1 TL;DR: Create a sign with /ic, apply permissions, use [ic:icname] in first line of sign upon creation. Doesn't work any other way. /cmi reload doesn't reload config SignLines.


Command:

Code:
/cmi ic new name-of-sign/shop

Config File: interactiveCommands.yml
Code:
# Use [ic:[icname]] in first line of sign. Make sure to give permissions for cmi.interactivesign.* to user posting goldappless:   Locations:   - world1;-1066.0;71.0;-552.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 10000   - cmi give [playerName] golden_apple   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Golden Apple placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Golden Apple'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}10000₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true sellshop:   Commands: [] carrotshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;71.0;-555.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 50   - cmi give [playerName] carrot   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Carrot placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Carrot'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}50₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true cakeshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;71.0;-554.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 150   - cmi give [playerName] cake   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Cake placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Cake'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}150₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true applesshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1066.0;72.0;-553.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 100   - cmi give [playerName] apple   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Apple placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Apples'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}100₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true breadshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;71.0;-552.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 50   - cmi give [playerName] bread   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Bread placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Bread'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}50₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true eggsshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;72.0;-553.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 50   - cmi give [playerName] egg   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Egg placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Egg'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}50₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true sugarshop:   Locations:   - world1;-1063.0;71.0;-556.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 50   - cmi give [playerName] sugar   - ' '   - cmi actionbarmsg [playerName] Sugar placed in your inventory   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Sugar'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}50₿'   - ' '   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'   Public: true

You can use the sign name like so
Code:
[ic:applesshop]
In the first line of the sign only when you first place the sign. You must remove and replace the sign to name again with Interactive Command options and sign lines.

If you run
Code:
/ic

You will get a list of InteractiveCommands you have created. Or option to create more by clicking GREEN + sign.

[Image: NxsvdGz.png]

From here you can click the InteractiveCommand you want and make it public.
[Image: PvA74ct.png]
You should be able to see what the sign should have in the top line here also.
Make sure to
[Image: kLL6Ye5.png]
Enabled, requires permission to place the sign.
Also add that permission or cmi.interactivesign.* to the user or group trying to create the signs.

This only works when you first create the sign. Sign Edit will mess it up, along with dynamic sign. So don't use those on the sign once you get it working.

With IC, you can edit signs in the config file if you used [ic:[icname]] in top line of sign:
Code:
apples-shop:   Locations:   - world1;-1066.0;71.0;-555.0   Commands:   - cmi money take [playerName] 100   - cmi give [playerName] apple   SignLines:   - '{#dfcd6f}Apples'   - 'Price: {#0bda51}100₿'   - '{#08e8de}Click to BUY'
The lines don't seem to update with /cmi reload.
So doesn't seem to be a quick way to update compared to dynamic signs. It will reload with the command above.

You can also edit sign lines using /ic click the ic,
and look for [EditSignLines] in the new conext menu followed with a click.
Now each line is editable with a click.
Example:
[Image: VsYIJMo.png]

If you change it to public status, anyone can paste the IC sign.
If you enable [ReqPerm], any user with cmi.interactivesign.[icname] permission node will be able to paste that IC sign.
You could give admin cmi.interactivesign.* for access to all signs.
Locations in file are updated automatically.

As you can see, you can further narrow it down per group in Lucky Perms (permission software).

Bedrock players can join any server running GeyserMC or Bedrock Edition from any console. Most people know this already from playing on PC and PocketEdition, but the process for joining from a Switch or an Xbox requires a few extra steps. Here is a complete breakdown of how to join a Bedrock server from Xbox and Switch so you can join your friends online.
 
How to add a Minecraft Server on Xbox:
Joining on Xbox Requires you to change your connection settings. Doing this will give you a new menu from the server page in your game to add a new server. These settings should not affect online play for other games, but you can reset them at any time should you choose to do so.
  1. Open your Xbox settings and select the Network Settings option.
    [Image: Discord_aFjEAuVwo5.jpg]
  2. Go to Advanced Settings and choose the DNS Settings option.
  3. Select Manual and you will be taken to a screen to manually enter your DNS settings
    [Image: Discord_ZsEos8p6Wf.jpg]
  4. For the Primary IPv4 DNS enter:
    Code:
    104.238.130.180
  5. For the Secondary enter either:
    Code:
    8.8.8.8
    or
    Code:
    1.1.1.1
    [Image: image_2021-10-05_161444.jpg]
  6. Save the changes and the console will perform a connection test
 
How to add a Minecraft Server on Nintendo Switch:
The process for joining from Switch is almost identical to setting up on Xbox. You can use the same basic settings used in the Xbox setup. You will also receive the exact same menu to join new servers in the game. These settings should not affect online play for other games, but you can reset them at any time should you choose to do so.
  1. Go to your System Settings and scroll down to the Internet option
  2. Click on the Internet Settings option, choose your current network, and click on Change Settings
  3. Scroll down to the DNS Settings and change it to Manual
  4. For the Primary DNS enter:
    Code:
    104.238.130.180
  5. For the Secondary enter either:
    Code:
    8.8.8.8
    or
    Code:
    1.1.1.1
  6. Save the changes and you are ready to go.
 
Joining the game:
Once you get your connection settings saved you can go ahead and open the game. From there the process to join a server is the same regardless of the console you are using.
  1. Click on Play and go to the Servers tab
  2. Click on any of the pre-added servers on the list
    [Image: bedrock-server-list.png]
  3. A new menu will appear when you try to join the server
    [Image: add-bedrock-server-1.png]
  4. Choose the Connect to a Server option at the top of the screen
    [Image: add-bedrock-server-2.png]
  5. Enter the Address and Port of the server you want to join
  6. Choose the “add to server list” option to add it to your list, then click Submit
 
Common Issues:
Unable to connect to world:
This is an unfortunately common issue for Bedrock servers. There are not many sure-fire ways to resolve this issue, but here are our recommendations:
  1. Restart your console
  2. Restart your server
  3. Make sure both your game/console and the server are fully updated
  4. If you are using a Java server with Geyser, make sure you have the latest version of the plugin installed and configured correctly. Also make sure you have Floodgate and ViaVersion installed on the server as well.
  5. Change your secondary DNS from
    Code:
    8.8.8.8
    to
    Code:
    1.1.1.1
    or vice versa
 
The add server menu doesn’t appear:
Change your secondary DNS from 8.8.8.8 to 1.1.1.1 or vice versa. In most cases, switching will allow the menu to pop up as normal.
Wow this server is popular:
This error usually means that the server has too many people on it, or too many connection attempts have been made at once. If you believe that you are getting this in error though, the quickest and easiest way to fix it is to either wait a few minutes, or to just restart the server. The problem will go away once the server comes back up or is no longer getting so many connection attempts at once.
You should also consider raising the player cap of your server from the control panel if you have it set to a low number like 2 or 3.
 
You are not invited to this server:
That means that the whitelist on the server is active. You will need to contact the server’s owner to get added to the whitelist, or disable it altogether. We have a guide available that goes over how whitelisting works and how it can be enabled/disabled.
Please note that if you are using a Java server with Geyser you will need to put a * before a player’s name when adding them to the whitelist. Ex:
Code:
/whitelist add *iVestri
instead of just
Code:
/whitelist add iVestri

You should also consider raising the player cap of your server from the control panel if you have it set to a low number like 2 or 3.
 
You are not invited to this server:
That means that the whitelist on the server is active. You will need to contact the server’s owner to get added to the whitelist, or disable it altogether. We have a guide available that goes over how whitelisting works and how it can be enabled/disabled.
Please note that if you are using a Java server with Geyser you will need to put a * before a player’s name when adding them to the whitelist. Ex:
Code:
/whitelist add *iVestri
instead of just
Code:
/whitelist add iVestri
