<h3>Player Skin & Name Reporting</h3>
<p>We are making some important updates to our Player Reporting Tool to better protect the online safety of our players.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/7317376541197">FAQ page</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Player Skins and Names can now be reported in the Social Interactions Screen</li>
<li>If a skin or name is reported and found to be violating the <a href="https://www.minecraft.net/community-standards">Community Standards</a>, our team of human moderators can take action in a few ways:
<ul>
<li>Ban the skin from being used by any player</li>
<li>Ban the name from being used by any player</li>
<li>Suspend the player from online play in the case of repeated offenses</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When a skin is banned, players with that skin:
<ul>
<li>Will have their skin removed</li>
<li>Will be notified when they launch the game</li>
<li>Will be automatically assigned one of the default skins</li>
<li>Can still play multiplayer and singleplayer</li>
<li>Can select a new custom skin at any time</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When a player’s name is banned, that player:
<ul>
<li>Will need to choose a new name</li>
<li>Will be notified when they launch the game</li>
<li>Will not be able to play online until they change their name</li>
<li>Can still play singleplayer</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>A skin or name that has been banned cannot be used by any player in the future</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>The calculations to determine whether a mob can attack a player or other mobs have been changed</li>
<li>Diamond Ore is now generated more frequently in the Deepslate layers of the Overworld</li>
<li>Optimizations to networked play</li>
<li>Curing a Zombie Villager now only gives a big discount the first time
<ul>
<li>There is no longer a bonus discount for reinfecting and curing the same Villager multiple times</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Sponges and Wet Sponges now have their own custom sounds</li>
<li>Barrier blocks can now be waterlogged by players in Creative mode
<ul>
<li>Water cannot be placed in them or taken out by non-direct interactions such as Dispensers</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The positions that all entities ride on other entities have been adjusted to make more sense</li>
<li>Added the “Narrator Hotkey” accessibility option (default on)
<ul>
<li>The narrator can be toggled on and off with <span class="bedrock-server">Ctrl+B</span> when this is on</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added “I want to report them” Player Reporting category</li>
<li>Removed Herobrine</li>
</ul>
<h3>Mob Attack Reach Changes</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here are some situations where the new rules will affect the reach of mobs:</p>
<ul>
<li>If a mob is entirely below you, or entirely above you, it will not be able to reach you</li>
<li>While riding on a medium-sized mob, like a Horse, you will be protected from small mobs, like Baby Zombies</li>
<li>While riding on a tall mob, like a Camel, you will be protected from standard-size mobs, like Zombies</li>
<li>Also, Ravagers won’t be able to attack you through a few block-thick walls anymore</li>
<li>However, to escape from an Enderman, you need to be at least 3 blocks above the ground, not 1.5 as before</li>
<li>Mobs will be able to attack you with the bottom of their hitbox, assuming your head is in range</li>
<li>Builds that trap hostile mobs might need to be adjusted to be safe</li>
</ul>
<p>This change does not affect the reach of players, and mobs still need to see their target to attack it.</p>
<h3>Networked Play</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li>The game world will now show earlier instead of the loading screen while loading into a world on a server</li>
<li>Clients with extremely low-bandwidth connections will not time out while loading the world</li>
<li>Clients with low-bandwidth connections can interact with the world while some chunks are still loading</li>
</ul>
<h3>Vibrations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Vibrations no longer risk being lost on simulation distance limit</li>
<li>Using Bone Meal emits an <span class="bedrock-server">item_interact_finish</span> vibration of frequency 3</li>
<li>Unequipping items emit a new <span class="bedrock-server">unequip</span> vibration of frequency 4</li>
<li>Camels eating Cactus emit an <span class="bedrock-server">eat</span> vibration of frequency 8</li>
<li>Carrots being eaten by Rabbits emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_change</span> vibration of frequency 11</li>
<li>Sweet Berries being eaten by Foxes emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_change</span> vibration of frequency 11</li>
<li>Chiseled Bookshelves emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_change</span> vibration of frequency 11 when receiving books from Hoppers</li>
<li>Turtle Eggs cracking emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_change</span> vibration of frequency 11</li>
<li>Turtle Eggs hatching emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_destroy</span> vibration of frequency 12</li>
<li>Fire being doused by Water Potion emits a <span class="bedrock-server">block_destroy</span> vibration of frequency 12</li>
<li>Evokers evoking Vexes or Fangs emit an <span class="bedrock-server">entity_place</span> vibration of frequency 14</li>
</ul>
<h3>Miscellaneous Minor Tweaks</h3>
<ul>
<li>Chorus Flower no longer provides support for hanging or standing blocks</li>
<li>Updated structure icons on Explorer Maps sold by Cartographers</li>
<li>When Villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic</li>
<li>The sizes of text fields in the user interface are now consistent with the size of buttons</li>
<li>You now need a taller pillar to escape taller mobs.</li>
<li>Rabbits eating Carrots now trigger Sculk Sensors</li>
</ul>

<h2>Technical Changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>The resource pack version is now 18</li>
<li>The data pack version is now 18</li>
<li>History of used commands is now saved and accessible across worlds</li>
<li>Optimized networking to improve the experience on low bandwidth connections</li>
<li>Added support for multi-version packs</li>
<li>Changed network protocol to allow for more data-driven content in the future</li>
<li>Added new <span class="bedrock-server">log-ips</span> option to <span class="bedrock-server">server.properties</span></li>
<li>Added validation for symbolic links in datapacks and resource packs</li>
<li>When hitboxes are displayed through F3+B, entities that have a passenger will display the passenger’s attachment point</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>Pressing F3+3 will now show charts for ping and received network traffic on the debug screen</li>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">LWJGL</span> library has been upgraded to version 3.3.2</li>
<li>The default Java version shipped with the game has been upgraded to Microsoft OpenJDK 17.0.8</li>
</ul>
<h3>Command History</h3>
<ul>
<li>The last 50 commands that you sent in chat will be remembered across game sessions</li>
<li>You can access the command and chat history by pressing the up or down arrows in the chat</li>
<li>Regular chat is only persisted within the same game session (leaving a server or world clears them)</li>
<li>Recent commands are stored in <span class="bedrock-server">command_history.txt</span> in the game folder</li>
</ul>
<h3>Network Optimizations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Gameplay packets are now packed into bigger TCP packets to reduce overhead from TCP headers, significantly reducing network usage</li>
<li>Chunks are not sent over the network to the client in one big continuous batch anymore</li>
<li>Chunks are instead sent in smaller batches depending on the available bandwidth, meaning that:
<ul>
<li>Clients with extremely low-bandwidth connections will not time out while loading the world</li>
<li>Clients with low-bandwidth connections can interact with the world while some chunks are still loading</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Only chunks within the client’s render distance are now sent</li>
</ul>
<h3>Multi-Version Packs</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Pack Metadata</h4>
<ul>
<li>Pack metadata now includes an optional field <span class="bedrock-server">supported_formats</span> which describes a range for pack formats that this pack supports
<ul>
<li>Examples: <span class="bedrock-server">16</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">[16,17]</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">{“min_inclusive”: 16, “max_inclusive”: 17}</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">pack_format</span> field is still required and its format remains unchanged, to allow older game versions to read pack data
<ul>
<li>If <span class="bedrock-server">supported_formats</span> is present, it must contain the value declared in <span class="bedrock-server">pack_format</span></li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Overlays</h4>
<ul>
<li>Packs can now contain overlay directories (“overlays”)</li>
<li>Overlays are sub-packs applied over the “normal” contents of a pack
<ul>
<li>These directories have the same layout as the top-level pack, including the <span class="bedrock-server">assets</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">data</span> directories</li>
<li>Overlays can be applied if they support the client’s pack format</li>
<li>Overlays can add and replace files, but not remove them
<ul>
<li>For example, if the overlay <span class="bedrock-server">foo</span> is applied, the file <span class="bedrock-server">foo/assets/minecraft/textures/bar.png</span> will replace the contents of <span class="bedrock-server">assets/minecraft/textures/bar.png</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">pack.mcmeta</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">pack.png</span> are ignored in overlay directories</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>New section called <span class="bedrock-server">overlays</span> has been added to pack metadata
<ul>
<li>It contains an <span class="bedrock-server">entries</span> field, containing a list of overlays</li>
<li>Every overlay entry has two fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">formats</span> – range of supported formats</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">directory</span> – overlay directory (allowed characters: <span class="bedrock-server">a-z</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">0-9</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">_</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">–</span>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Order of application: overlays are stacked from the bottom to top of the list
<ul>
<li>For example, if a pack has two overlays: <span class="bedrock-server">“entries”: [{“directory”:”A”, …}, {“directory”:”B”, …}]</span>, the game will first look in <span class="bedrock-server">B</span>, then <span class="bedrock-server">A</span> and then in the top pack directory</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Symbolic Link Validation</h3>
<p>To improve safety, the game will now also detect symbolic links used inside data- and resource packs.</p>
<ul>
<li>This feature expands on symbolic link validation in worlds added in the previous release</li>
<li>The game will now warn users if a pack added via drag and drop contains disallowed symbolic links</li>
<li>Packs containing disallowed symbolic links will not be visible in UI and commands</li>
<li>Additionally, directories and files that are not recognized as packs will no longer be copied via drag-and-drop</li>
<li>For a detailed explanation, see this <a href="https://aka.ms/MinecraftSymLinks">help article</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Network Protocol</h3>
<p>As part of ongoing work towards more data-driven features, the network protocol has been changed to include a new configuration phase.</p>
<ul>
<li>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)</li>
<li>Clients can stay in configuration phase indefinitely – it’s up to the server to release it to the world</li>
<li>Servers can also request clients to re-enter the configuration phase after it has entered the play phase
<ul>
<li>Other players will see such clients as disconnected</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Users in configuration phase will not be visible on the player list</li>
<li>Actions allowed in configuration phase (moved from play phase):
<ul>
<li>Configuration of data-driven registries</li>
<li>Configuration of enabled features</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Actions shared between configuration and play phases:
<ul>
<li>Application of server resource packs</li>
<li>Update of tags</li>
<li>Exchange of custom packets</li>
<li>Ping and keep-alive packets</li>
<li>Sending of client options</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The server will now negotiate resource packs in the configuration phase
<ul>
<li>This means that the player will no longer be in the world when answering prompts and reloading resources</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Secure Chat</h4>
<ul>
<li>Clients will no longer disconnect themselves when receiving an invalid chat message
<ul>
<li>A placeholder message will instead be shown in chat</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="bedrock-server">server.properties</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>New option: <span class="bedrock-server">log-ips</span> (default <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>)
<ul>
<li>When set to <span class="bedrock-server">false</span>, will prevent player IPs from being included in the log when players join the game</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Telemetry</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added a button to the Telemetry Data Collection Screen that links to the Microsoft Privacy Statement</li>
</ul>
<h2>Resource Pack Version 16</h2>
<ul>
<li>The process of upgrading your pack can be assisted by using this automated <a href="https://github.com/Mojang/slicer/releases/tag/v1.1.2">Slicer</a> tool</li>
<li>All textures containing multiple sprites in a sheet for GUI have been split into individual sprites under <span class="bedrock-server">textures/gui/sprites</span> (automated by the Slicer tool)</li>
<li>All textures in the <span class="bedrock-server">realms</span> namespace have been moved into the <span class="bedrock-server">Minecraft</span> namespace (automated by the Slicer tool)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">villager2.png</span> has been renamed to <span class="bedrock-server">villager.png</span> (automated by the Slicer tool)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">icon/trial_available</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">realm_status/expires_soon</span> GUI sprites are animated with <span class="bedrock-server">.mcmeta</span> declarations instead of individual sprites (automated by the Slicer tool)</li>
<li>The Bundle tooltip background is now drawn as a nine-sliced sprite</li>
<li>The icons for the Accessibility, Language, and Realms News buttons have been split from their underlying button texture</li>
<li>The Realms Invite button is now drawn as an overlay on the normal button texture
<ul>
<li>The highlighted texture state for this button has been removed</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The highlighted states for Realms invitation number icons have been removed</li>
<li>The exclamation marks on the <span class="bedrock-server">notification\more.png</span> have been removed</li>
</ul>
<h3>GUI Sprite Sheet</h3>
<ul>
<li>Sprites used in GUI drawing have been split into individual sprite files instead of larger sprite sheets
<ul>
<li>For example, <span class="bedrock-server">widgets/button.png</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">widgets/button_highlighted.png</span> have been split from <span class="bedrock-server">widgets.png</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Each sprite can now be individually overridden by a resource pack instead of replacing the entire sheet</li>
<li>Sprites are loaded into the <span class="bedrock-server">GUI</span> atlas from the <span class="bedrock-server">textures/gui/sprites</span> directory</li>
</ul>
<h4>GUI Sprite .mcmeta</h4>
<ul>
<li>Any sprite used in the GUI can now be animated using <span class="bedrock-server">.mcmeta</span> files, similar to other atlases
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">icon/trial_available</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">realm_status/expires_soon</span> are now animated this way</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Sprites in the <span class="bedrock-server">GUI</span> atlas can now configure scaling behavior through a new <span class="bedrock-server">GUI</span> section in <span class="bedrock-server">.mcmeta</span> files
<ul>
<li>For example, button textures must be scaled based on how big the button should be</li>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">GUI</span> section in <span class="bedrock-server">.mcmeta</span> contains one <span class="bedrock-server">scaling</span> field:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">type</span>: one of: <span class="bedrock-server">stretch</span> (default), <span class="bedrock-server">tile</span>, or <span class="bedrock-server">nine_slice</span></li>
<li>When <span class="bedrock-server">stretched</span>, the sprite will be stretched across the desired space
<ul>
<li>No additional fields need to be defined</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When <span class="bedrock-server">tile</span>, the sprite will be repeated across the desired space, starting from the top-left
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">width</span>: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its width</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">height</span>: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its height</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When <span class="bedrock-server">nine_slice</span>, the sprite will be sliced into 4 corners, 4 edges, and 1 center slice, which will be tiled across the desired space
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">width</span>: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its width</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">height</span>: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its height</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">border</span>: the size in pixels that the border slices should cover on-screen, one of:
<ul>
<li>Constant integer for uniform border size on all sides</li>
<li>Object containing <span class="bedrock-server">left</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">top</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">right</span>, and <span class="bedrock-server">bottom</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Resource Pack Version 17</h2>
<ul>
<li>The text field background is now a nine-sliced sprite at <span class="bedrock-server">widget/text_field</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">widget/text_field_highlighted</span></li>
<li>The scroll bar in lists and text fields is now a nine-sliced sprite at <span class="bedrock-server">widget/scroller</span></li>
</ul>
<h2>Resource Pack Version 18</h2>

<li>Game event changes</li>
<li>New tags</li>
</ul>
<h3>Commands</h3>
<h4><span class="bedrock-server">Random</span></h4>
<p>A new command for randomizing values and controlling random sequences. The <span class="bedrock-server">value</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">roll</span> forms can be used to draw a random value. In the case of <span class="bedrock-server">roll</span>, the resulting value is also shown in chat for all players.</p>
<p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<pre><code>random value|roll <range> [<sequenceId>]</code></pre>
<pre><code>random reset *|<sequenceId> [<seed>] [<includeWorldSeed>] [<includeSequenceId>]<br></code></pre>
<p><strong>Parameters:</strong></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">range</span>: A range of values to randomize between, inclusively
<ul>
<li>For instance, 1..6 is a regular D6 roll</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">sequenceId</span>: The name of a random sequence to sample or reset</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">seed</span>: A seed to use for the random sequence after reset</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">includeWorldSeed</span>: A boolean [default: <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>] specifying whether to include the world seed when seeding the sequence
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">false</span> means the sequence will evaluate to the same regardless of which world the command is run in</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">includeSequenceId</span>: A boolean [default: <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>] specifying whether to include the sequence ID when seeding the sequence
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">false</span> means all sequences will evaluate to the same regardless of which name they have</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>By default, all sequences are seeded as <span class="bedrock-server">0</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>. Using <span class="bedrock-server">*</span> instead of a sequence ID resets all sequences and sets the default parameters.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>If no seed is specified, the sequence resets to the default parameters.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>Note that <span class="bedrock-server">random value|roll <range></span> used without a sequence ID is available to non-operator players.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Functions</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>A single backslash <span class="bedrock-server">\ </span>as the last non-whitespace character of a line now allows a command to be continued on the next line
<ul>
<li>Leading and trailing whitespace of the following line are stripped before appending</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h4>Macros</h4>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>Functions can now contain macro lines, making them Function Macros.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Any line beginning with <span class="bedrock-server">$</span> (as the first non-space character) marks a macro line</li>
<li>A macro line also contains one or more substitutions in the form of <span class="bedrock-server">$(variable)</span></li>
<li>When calling a function macro a compound with data for all argument variables must be provided</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h5>Calling Function Macros</h5>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>The <span class="bedrock-server">function</span> command has new forms:</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p><span class="bedrock-server">function <id> <compound>function <id> with <data source> [<path>]</span></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p><strong>New Arguments:</strong></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">compound</span>: A data compound, enclosed in <span class="bedrock-server">{}</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">data source</span>: A data source specification, like what could already be used for <span class="bedrock-server">data get</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">path</span>: An NBT path specification</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>The data source and path must specify a compound data entry</li>
<li>The compound must contain one entry for each variable used in the macro</li>
<li>More data may be present in the compound and if so is ignored</li>
<li>Calling a non-macro function with a data compound is silently ignored</li>
<li>When a macro is called, the values provided are substituted in place of the variable specifications, and the resulting commands are executed</li>
<li>Any syntax errors in the lines resulting from variable substitution result in the entire function call being skipped</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h5>Performance Considerations</h5>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>Using a macro means commands must be re-evaluated after variable substitution. This has an extra cost compared to running pre-parsed functions.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Display Entity Interpolation</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Display entities now start updating their client-side position and rotation on the first tick after an update
<ul>
<li>In previous versions, updates were applied in the same tick, causing uneven motion</li>
<li>The new behavior is similar to Armor Stands, mobs, and players</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>On the server, position and rotation are still updated immediately</li>
<li>The duration of this interpolation is controlled by the field <span class="bedrock-server">teleport_duration</span>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">0</span> means that updates are applied immediately</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">1</span> means that the Display Entity will move from the current position to the updated one-over-one tick</li>
<li>Higher values spread the movement over multiple ticks</li>
<li>Please note that this value is clamped to avoid glitches due to periodic position updates</li>
<li>The new value will apply only to position and rotation changes made after it changed
<ul>
<li>That means any current movement will continue unchanged</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Note: behavior while riding remains unchanged from previous versions</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Attributes</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Added new attribute <span class="bedrock-server">generic.max_absorption</span>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">generic.max_absorption</span> acts similarly to <span class="bedrock-server">generic.max_health</span>, but instead of being the upper bound for <span class="bedrock-server">Health</span>, it is the upper bound for <span class="bedrock-server">AbsorptionAmount</span></li>
<li>The mob effect <span class="bedrock-server">absorption</span> increases <span class="bedrock-server">generic.max_absorption</span> as well as fills the <span class="bedrock-server">AbsorptionAmount</span> to the max when applied</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Game Events</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">entity_roar</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">entity_shake</span> game events have been removed and replaced with <span class="bedrock-server">entity_action</span> game event</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Tags</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">no_knockback</span> damage type tag which causes knockback to not be caused by the damage itself
<ul>
<li>Used in Vanilla for damage that is caused by events, such as explosions, which apply knockback separately</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">non_controlling_rider</span> to represent entities that don’t override their vehicle’s movement control</li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">concrete_powder</span> block tag for Concrete Powder blocks</li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">camel_sand_step_sound_blocks</span> block tag for blocks that produce <span class="bedrock-server">entity.camel.step_sand</span> sound</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>DATA Pack Version 17</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Changed mob effect storage on items, entities, and block entities</li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">decal</span> field to armor trim patterns (default: <span class="bedrock-server">false</span>)
<ul>
<li>If <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>, the pattern texture will be masked based on the underlying armor</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Mob Effect Storage Changes</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>The game no longer uses numeric values when storing mob effects to a world (so, for example, <span class="bedrock-server">4</span> becomes <span class="bedrock-server">minecraft:mining_fatigue</span>)</li>
<li>Various mob effect fields have been renamed for consistency with new structures</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h4>Mob Effect Instance</h4>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>This structure is used in many places, so its changes are described separately.</p>

</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>

<p><span class="bedrock-server">beacon</span></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>

<li><span class="bedrock-server">Secondary</span> -> <span class="bedrock-server">secondary_effect</span>, also changed from number to string id</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Loot Tables</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">sequence</span> loot function
<ul>
<li>Contains 1 field:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">functions</span>: an array of sub-functions to run in sequence</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Can also be declared as an inline array without a type
<ul>
<li>This matches the existing behavior where loot function JSON files can be declared as an array of composite functions</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">all_of</span> predicates in loot tables can now be declared implicitly as an inline array without a type

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

<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>DATA Pack Version 18</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>This data pack version removes the <span class="bedrock-server">execute if function</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">return run</span> functionality that existed for a time during the development of this version. Flaws with those commands (see bugs <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264595">MC-264595</a>, <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264699">MC-264699</a>, and <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264710">MC-264710</a>) require some substantial changes to fix, which we do not want to make close to a release.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">execute if|unless function</span> command form</li>
<li>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">return run</span> command form</li>
<li>Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type</li>
<li>Added game rule <span class="bedrock-server">enderPearlsVanishOnDeath</span>, controlling whether thrown Ender Pearls vanish when the player that threw them dies (default <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>, which matches the existing behavior in previous versions)</li>
<li>Added damage type tag <span class="bedrock-server">always_kills_armor_stands</span> for damage types that should always fully kill an Armor Stand<code></code></li>
</ul>
<h2>Experimental Features</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Villager Trade Rebalance</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>This experiment does not affect normal worlds. You can find more information about Feature Toggles <a href="https://www.minecraft.net/article/testing-new-minecraft-features/feature-toggles-java-edition">here</a>.</p>

<h4>Librarian Changes</h4>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Librarians from different biomes now sell different Enchanted Books</li>

<li>This means that players must visit all seven village biomes to get the full set of villager enchantments</li>
<li>There are two secret village biomes where villages do not generate
<ul>
<li>A player must build these villages to access their trades!</li>
</ul>
</li>

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/java-edition-1-20-2-is-here.png" width="798" height="226" title="" alt="" /></div><div><h2>New Features</h2>
<h3>Player Skin & Name Reporting</h3>
<p>We are making some important updates to our Player Reporting Tool to better protect the online safety of our players.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/7317376541197">FAQ page</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Player Skins and Names can now be reported in the Social Interactions Screen</li>
<li>If a skin or name is reported and found to be violating the <a href="https://www.minecraft.net/community-standards">Community Standards</a>, our team of human moderators can take action in a few ways:
<ul>
<li>Ban the skin from being used by any player</li>
<li>Ban the name from being used by any player</li>
<li>Suspend the player from online play in the case of repeated offenses</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When a skin is banned, players with that skin:
<ul>
<li>Will have their skin removed</li>
<li>Will be notified when they launch the game</li>
<li>Will be automatically assigned one of the default skins</li>
<li>Can still play multiplayer and singleplayer</li>
<li>Can select a new custom skin at any time</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When a player’s name is banned, that player:
<ul>
<li>Will need to choose a new name</li>
<li>Will be notified when they launch the game</li>
<li>Will not be able to play online until they change their name</li>
<li>Can still play singleplayer</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>A skin or name that has been banned cannot be used by any player in the future</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>The calculations to determine whether a mob can attack a player or other mobs have been changed</li>
<li>Diamond Ore is now generated more frequently in the Deepslate layers of the Overworld</li>
<li>Optimizations to networked play</li>
<li>Curing a Zombie Villager now only gives a big discount the first time
<ul>
<li>There is no longer a bonus discount for reinfecting and curing the same Villager multiple times</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Sponges and Wet Sponges now have their own custom sounds</li>
<li>Barrier blocks can now be waterlogged by players in Creative mode
<ul>
<li>Water cannot be placed in them or taken out by non-direct interactions such as Dispensers</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The positions that all entities ride on other entities have been adjusted to make more sense</li>
<li>Added the “Narrator Hotkey” accessibility option (default on)
<ul>
<li>The narrator can be toggled on and off with <span class="bedrock-server">Ctrl+B</span> when this is on</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added “I want to report them” Player Reporting category</li>
<li>Removed Herobrine</li>
</ul>
<h3>Mob Attack Reach Changes</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here are some situations where the new rules will affect the reach of mobs:</p>
<ul>
<li>If a mob is entirely below you, or entirely above you, it will not be able to reach you</li>
<li>While riding on a medium-sized mob, like a Horse, you will be protected from small mobs, like Baby Zombies</li>
<li>While riding on a tall mob, like a Camel, you will be protected from standard-size mobs, like Zombies</li>
<li>Also, Ravagers won’t be able to attack you through a few block-thick walls anymore</li>
<li>However, to escape from an Enderman, you need to be at least 3 blocks above the ground, not 1.5 as before</li>
<li>Mobs will be able to attack you with the bottom of their hitbox, assuming your head is in range</li>
<li>Builds that trap hostile mobs might need to be adjusted to be safe</li>
</ul>
<p>This change does not affect the reach of players, and mobs still need to see their target to attack it.</p>
<h3>Networked Play</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li>The game world will now show earlier instead of the loading screen while loading into a world on a server</li>
<li>Clients with extremely low-bandwidth connections will not time out while loading the world</li>
<li>Clients with low-bandwidth connections can interact with the world while some chunks are still loading</li>
</ul>
<h3>Vibrations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Vibrations no longer risk being lost on simulation distance limit</li>
<li>Using Bone Meal emits an <span class="bedrock-server">item_interact_finish</span> vibration of frequency 3</li>
<li>Unequipping items emit a new <span class="bedrock-server">unequip</span> vibration of frequency 4</li>
<li>Camels eating Cactus emit an <span class="bedrock-server">eat</span> vibration of frequency 8</li>
<li>Carrots being eaten by Rabbits emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_change</span> vibration of frequency 11</li>
<li>Sweet Berries being eaten by Foxes emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_change</span> vibration of frequency 11</li>
<li>Chiseled Bookshelves emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_change</span> vibration of frequency 11 when receiving books from Hoppers</li>
<li>Turtle Eggs cracking emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_change</span> vibration of frequency 11</li>
<li>Turtle Eggs hatching emit a <span class="bedrock-server">block_destroy</span> vibration of frequency 12</li>
<li>Fire being doused by Water Potion emits a <span class="bedrock-server">block_destroy</span> vibration of frequency 12</li>
<li>Evokers evoking Vexes or Fangs emit an <span class="bedrock-server">entity_place</span> vibration of frequency 14</li>
</ul>
<h3>Miscellaneous Minor Tweaks</h3>
<ul>
<li>Chorus Flower no longer provides support for hanging or standing blocks</li>
<li>Updated structure icons on Explorer Maps sold by Cartographers</li>
<li>When Villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic</li>
<li>The sizes of text fields in the user interface are now consistent with the size of buttons</li>
<li>You now need a taller pillar to escape taller mobs.</li>
<li>Rabbits eating Carrots now trigger Sculk Sensors</li>
</ul>
<p><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/java-edition-1-20-2-is-here.png" alt width="798" height="226"></p>
<h2>Technical Changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>The resource pack version is now 18</li>
<li>The data pack version is now 18</li>
<li>History of used commands is now saved and accessible across worlds</li>
<li>Optimized networking to improve the experience on low bandwidth connections</li>
<li>Added support for multi-version packs</li>
<li>Changed network protocol to allow for more data-driven content in the future</li>
<li>Added new <span class="bedrock-server">log-ips</span> option to <span class="bedrock-server">server.properties</span></li>
<li>Added validation for symbolic links in datapacks and resource packs</li>
<li>When hitboxes are displayed through F3+B, entities that have a passenger will display the passenger’s attachment point</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>Pressing F3+3 will now show charts for ping and received network traffic on the debug screen</li>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">LWJGL</span> library has been upgraded to version 3.3.2</li>
<li>The default Java version shipped with the game has been upgraded to Microsoft OpenJDK 17.0.8</li>
</ul>
<h3>Command History</h3>
<ul>
<li>The last 50 commands that you sent in chat will be remembered across game sessions</li>
<li>You can access the command and chat history by pressing the up or down arrows in the chat</li>
<li>Regular chat is only persisted within the same game session (leaving a server or world clears them)</li>
<li>Recent commands are stored in <span class="bedrock-server">command_history.txt</span> in the game folder</li>
</ul>
<h3>Network Optimizations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Gameplay packets are now packed into bigger TCP packets to reduce overhead from TCP headers, significantly reducing network usage</li>
<li>Chunks are not sent over the network to the client in one big continuous batch anymore</li>
<li>Chunks are instead sent in smaller batches depending on the available bandwidth, meaning that:
<ul>
<li>Clients with extremely low-bandwidth connections will not time out while loading the world</li>
<li>Clients with low-bandwidth connections can interact with the world while some chunks are still loading</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Only chunks within the client’s render distance are now sent</li>
</ul>
<h3>Multi-Version Packs</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Pack Metadata</h4>
<ul>
<li>Pack metadata now includes an optional field <span class="bedrock-server">supported_formats</span> which describes a range for pack formats that this pack supports
<ul>
<li>Examples: <span class="bedrock-server">16</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">[16,17]</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">{“min_inclusive”: 16, “max_inclusive”: 17}</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">pack_format</span> field is still required and its format remains unchanged, to allow older game versions to read pack data
<ul>
<li>If <span class="bedrock-server">supported_formats</span> is present, it must contain the value declared in <span class="bedrock-server">pack_format</span></li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Overlays</h4>
<ul>
<li>Packs can now contain overlay directories (“overlays”)</li>
<li>Overlays are sub-packs applied over the “normal” contents of a pack
<ul>
<li>These directories have the same layout as the top-level pack, including the <span class="bedrock-server">assets</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">data</span> directories</li>
<li>Overlays can be applied if they support the client’s pack format</li>
<li>Overlays can add and replace files, but not remove them
<ul>
<li>For example, if the overlay <span class="bedrock-server">foo</span> is applied, the file <span class="bedrock-server">foo/assets/minecraft/textures/bar.png</span> will replace the contents of <span class="bedrock-server">assets/minecraft/textures/bar.png</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">pack.mcmeta</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">pack.png</span> are ignored in overlay directories</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>New section called <span class="bedrock-server">overlays</span> has been added to pack metadata
<ul>
<li>It contains an <span class="bedrock-server">entries</span> field, containing a list of overlays</li>
<li>Every overlay entry has two fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">formats</span> – range of supported formats</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">directory</span> – overlay directory (allowed characters: <span class="bedrock-server">a-z</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">0-9</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">_</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">–</span>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Order of application: overlays are stacked from the bottom to top of the list
<ul>
<li>For example, if a pack has two overlays: <span class="bedrock-server">“entries”: [{“directory”:”A”, …}, {“directory”:”B”, …}]</span>, the game will first look in <span class="bedrock-server">B</span>, then <span class="bedrock-server">A</span> and then in the top pack directory</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Symbolic Link Validation</h3>
<p>To improve safety, the game will now also detect symbolic links used inside data- and resource packs.</p>
<ul>
<li>This feature expands on symbolic link validation in worlds added in the previous release</li>
<li>The game will now warn users if a pack added via drag and drop contains disallowed symbolic links</li>
<li>Packs containing disallowed symbolic links will not be visible in UI and commands</li>
<li>Additionally, directories and files that are not recognized as packs will no longer be copied via drag-and-drop</li>
<li>For a detailed explanation, see this <a href="https://aka.ms/MinecraftSymLinks">help article</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Network Protocol</h3>
<p>As part of ongoing work towards more data-driven features, the network protocol has been changed to include a new configuration phase.</p>
<ul>
<li>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)</li>
<li>Clients can stay in configuration phase indefinitely – it’s up to the server to release it to the world</li>
<li>Servers can also request clients to re-enter the configuration phase after it has entered the play phase
<ul>
<li>Other players will see such clients as disconnected</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Users in configuration phase will not be visible on the player list</li>
<li>Actions allowed in configuration phase (moved from play phase):
<ul>
<li>Configuration of data-driven registries</li>
<li>Configuration of enabled features</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Actions shared between configuration and play phases:
<ul>
<li>Application of server resource packs</li>
<li>Update of tags</li>
<li>Exchange of custom packets</li>
<li>Ping and keep-alive packets</li>
<li>Sending of client options</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The server will now negotiate resource packs in the configuration phase
<ul>
<li>This means that the player will no longer be in the world when answering prompts and reloading resources</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Secure Chat</h4>
<ul>
<li>Clients will no longer disconnect themselves when receiving an invalid chat message
<ul>
<li>A placeholder message will instead be shown in chat</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="bedrock-server">server.properties</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>New option: <span class="bedrock-server">log-ips</span> (default <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>)
<ul>
<li>When set to <span class="bedrock-server">false</span>, will prevent player IPs from being included in the log when players join the game</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Telemetry</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added a button to the Telemetry Data Collection Screen that links to the Microsoft Privacy Statement</li>
</ul>
<h2>Resource Pack Version 16</h2>
<ul>
<li>The process of upgrading your pack can be assisted by using this automated <a href="https://github.com/Mojang/slicer/releases/tag/v1.1.2">Slicer</a> tool</li>
<li>All textures containing multiple sprites in a sheet for GUI have been split into individual sprites under <span class="bedrock-server">textures/gui/sprites</span> (automated by the Slicer tool)</li>
<li>All textures in the <span class="bedrock-server">realms</span> namespace have been moved into the <span class="bedrock-server">Minecraft</span> namespace (automated by the Slicer tool)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">villager2.png</span> has been renamed to <span class="bedrock-server">villager.png</span> (automated by the Slicer tool)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">icon/trial_available</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">realm_status/expires_soon</span> GUI sprites are animated with <span class="bedrock-server">.mcmeta</span> declarations instead of individual sprites (automated by the Slicer tool)</li>
<li>The Bundle tooltip background is now drawn as a nine-sliced sprite</li>
<li>The icons for the Accessibility, Language, and Realms News buttons have been split from their underlying button texture</li>
<li>The Realms Invite button is now drawn as an overlay on the normal button texture
<ul>
<li>The highlighted texture state for this button has been removed</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The highlighted states for Realms invitation number icons have been removed</li>
<li>The exclamation marks on the <span class="bedrock-server">notification\more.png</span> have been removed</li>
</ul>
<h3>GUI Sprite Sheet</h3>
<ul>
<li>Sprites used in GUI drawing have been split into individual sprite files instead of larger sprite sheets
<ul>
<li>For example, <span class="bedrock-server">widgets/button.png</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">widgets/button_highlighted.png</span> have been split from <span class="bedrock-server">widgets.png</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Each sprite can now be individually overridden by a resource pack instead of replacing the entire sheet</li>
<li>Sprites are loaded into the <span class="bedrock-server">GUI</span> atlas from the <span class="bedrock-server">textures/gui/sprites</span> directory</li>
</ul>
<h4>GUI Sprite .mcmeta</h4>
<ul>
<li>Any sprite used in the GUI can now be animated using <span class="bedrock-server">.mcmeta</span> files, similar to other atlases
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">icon/trial_available</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">realm_status/expires_soon</span> are now animated this way</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Sprites in the <span class="bedrock-server">GUI</span> atlas can now configure scaling behavior through a new <span class="bedrock-server">GUI</span> section in <span class="bedrock-server">.mcmeta</span> files
<ul>
<li>For example, button textures must be scaled based on how big the button should be</li>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">GUI</span> section in <span class="bedrock-server">.mcmeta</span> contains one <span class="bedrock-server">scaling</span> field:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">type</span>: one of: <span class="bedrock-server">stretch</span> (default), <span class="bedrock-server">tile</span>, or <span class="bedrock-server">nine_slice</span></li>
<li>When <span class="bedrock-server">stretched</span>, the sprite will be stretched across the desired space
<ul>
<li>No additional fields need to be defined</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When <span class="bedrock-server">tile</span>, the sprite will be repeated across the desired space, starting from the top-left
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">width</span>: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its width</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">height</span>: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its height</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When <span class="bedrock-server">nine_slice</span>, the sprite will be sliced into 4 corners, 4 edges, and 1 center slice, which will be tiled across the desired space
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">width</span>: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its width</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">height</span>: number of pixels for this sprite to cover on-screen across its height</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">border</span>: the size in pixels that the border slices should cover on-screen, one of:
<ul>
<li>Constant integer for uniform border size on all sides</li>
<li>Object containing <span class="bedrock-server">left</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">top</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">right</span>, and <span class="bedrock-server">bottom</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<li>New tags</li>
</ul>
<h3>Commands</h3>
<h4><span class="bedrock-server">Random</span></h4>
<p>A new command for randomizing values and controlling random sequences. The <span class="bedrock-server">value</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">roll</span> forms can be used to draw a random value. In the case of <span class="bedrock-server">roll</span>, the resulting value is also shown in chat for all players.</p>
<p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<pre><code>random value|roll <range> [<sequenceId>]</code></pre>
<pre><code>random reset *|<sequenceId> [<seed>] [<includeWorldSeed>] [<includeSequenceId>]<br></code></pre>
<p><strong>Parameters:</strong></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">range</span>: A range of values to randomize between, inclusively
<ul>
<li>For instance, 1..6 is a regular D6 roll</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">sequenceId</span>: The name of a random sequence to sample or reset</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">seed</span>: A seed to use for the random sequence after reset</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">includeWorldSeed</span>: A boolean [default: <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>] specifying whether to include the world seed when seeding the sequence
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">false</span> means the sequence will evaluate to the same regardless of which world the command is run in</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">includeSequenceId</span>: A boolean [default: <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>] specifying whether to include the sequence ID when seeding the sequence
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">false</span> means all sequences will evaluate to the same regardless of which name they have</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>By default, all sequences are seeded as <span class="bedrock-server">0</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>. Using <span class="bedrock-server">*</span> instead of a sequence ID resets all sequences and sets the default parameters.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>If no seed is specified, the sequence resets to the default parameters.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>Note that <span class="bedrock-server">random value|roll <range></span> used without a sequence ID is available to non-operator players.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Functions</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>A single backslash <span class="bedrock-server">\ </span>as the last non-whitespace character of a line now allows a command to be continued on the next line
<ul>
<li>Leading and trailing whitespace of the following line are stripped before appending</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h4>Macros</h4>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>Functions can now contain macro lines, making them Function Macros.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Any line beginning with <span class="bedrock-server">$</span> (as the first non-space character) marks a macro line</li>
<li>A macro line also contains one or more substitutions in the form of <span class="bedrock-server">$(variable)</span></li>
<li>When calling a function macro a compound with data for all argument variables must be provided</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h5>Calling Function Macros</h5>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>The <span class="bedrock-server">function</span> command has new forms:</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p><span class="bedrock-server">function <id> <compound>function <id> with <data source> [<path>]</span></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p><strong>New Arguments:</strong></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">compound</span>: A data compound, enclosed in <span class="bedrock-server">{}</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">data source</span>: A data source specification, like what could already be used for <span class="bedrock-server">data get</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">path</span>: An NBT path specification</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>The data source and path must specify a compound data entry</li>
<li>The compound must contain one entry for each variable used in the macro</li>
<li>More data may be present in the compound and if so is ignored</li>
<li>Calling a non-macro function with a data compound is silently ignored</li>
<li>When a macro is called, the values provided are substituted in place of the variable specifications, and the resulting commands are executed</li>
<li>Any syntax errors in the lines resulting from variable substitution result in the entire function call being skipped</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h5>Performance Considerations</h5>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>Using a macro means commands must be re-evaluated after variable substitution. This has an extra cost compared to running pre-parsed functions.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Display Entity Interpolation</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Display entities now start updating their client-side position and rotation on the first tick after an update
<ul>
<li>In previous versions, updates were applied in the same tick, causing uneven motion</li>
<li>The new behavior is similar to Armor Stands, mobs, and players</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>On the server, position and rotation are still updated immediately</li>
<li>The duration of this interpolation is controlled by the field <span class="bedrock-server">teleport_duration</span>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">0</span> means that updates are applied immediately</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">1</span> means that the Display Entity will move from the current position to the updated one-over-one tick</li>
<li>Higher values spread the movement over multiple ticks</li>
<li>Please note that this value is clamped to avoid glitches due to periodic position updates</li>
<li>The new value will apply only to position and rotation changes made after it changed
<ul>
<li>That means any current movement will continue unchanged</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Note: behavior while riding remains unchanged from previous versions</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Attributes</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Added new attribute <span class="bedrock-server">generic.max_absorption</span>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">generic.max_absorption</span> acts similarly to <span class="bedrock-server">generic.max_health</span>, but instead of being the upper bound for <span class="bedrock-server">Health</span>, it is the upper bound for <span class="bedrock-server">AbsorptionAmount</span></li>
<li>The mob effect <span class="bedrock-server">absorption</span> increases <span class="bedrock-server">generic.max_absorption</span> as well as fills the <span class="bedrock-server">AbsorptionAmount</span> to the max when applied</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Game Events</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">entity_roar</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">entity_shake</span> game events have been removed and replaced with <span class="bedrock-server">entity_action</span> game event</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Tags</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">no_knockback</span> damage type tag which causes knockback to not be caused by the damage itself
<ul>
<li>Used in Vanilla for damage that is caused by events, such as explosions, which apply knockback separately</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">non_controlling_rider</span> to represent entities that don’t override their vehicle’s movement control</li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">concrete_powder</span> block tag for Concrete Powder blocks</li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">camel_sand_step_sound_blocks</span> block tag for blocks that produce <span class="bedrock-server">entity.camel.step_sand</span> sound</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>DATA Pack Version 17</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Changed mob effect storage on items, entities, and block entities</li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">decal</span> field to armor trim patterns (default: <span class="bedrock-server">false</span>)
<ul>
<li>If <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>, the pattern texture will be masked based on the underlying armor</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Mob Effect Storage Changes</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>The game no longer uses numeric values when storing mob effects to a world (so, for example, <span class="bedrock-server">4</span> becomes <span class="bedrock-server">minecraft:mining_fatigue</span>)</li>
<li>Various mob effect fields have been renamed for consistency with new structures</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h4>Mob Effect Instance</h4>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>This structure is used in many places, so its changes are described separately.</p>

</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h5><span class="bedrock-server">area_effect_cloud</span></h5>

<ul>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">sequence</span> loot function
<ul>
<li>Contains 1 field:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">functions</span>: an array of sub-functions to run in sequence</li>
</ul>

<h2>DATA Pack Version 18</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>This data pack version removes the <span class="bedrock-server">execute if function</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">return run</span> functionality that existed for a time during the development of this version. Flaws with those commands (see bugs <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264595">MC-264595</a>, <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264699">MC-264699</a>, and <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264710">MC-264710</a>) require some substantial changes to fix, which we do not want to make close to a release.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">execute if|unless function</span> command form</li>
<li>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">return run</span> command form</li>

<ul>
<li>The Recipe Book search has been updated with the following changes:
<ul>
<li>The search will only match the beginning of any word in the item’s name
<ul>
<li>For example, searching for “tor” will still show Torch and Redstone Torch but not Daylight Detector anymore</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>All recipes, including those that have not been unlocked, will now show up in search results</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Updated structure icons on explorer maps sold by Cartographers</li>
<li>When villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The data pack version is now 18</li>
<li>Client options are now sent during the configuration network phase when joining a server</li>
</ul>
<h2>Data Pack Version 18</h2>
<p>This data pack version removes the recently introduced <span class="bedrock-server">execute if function</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">return run</span> functionality. Flaws with those commands (see bugs <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264595">MC-264595</a>, <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264699">MC-264699</a>, and <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264710">MC-264710</a>) require some substantial changes to fix, which we do not want to make close to a release.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">execute if|unless function</span> command form</li>
<li>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">return run</span> command form</li>
<li>Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type</li>
<li>Added game rule <span class="bedrock-server">enderPearlsVanishOnDeath</span>, controlling whether thrown ender pearls vanish when the player that threw them dies (default <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Villager Trade Rebalance Part 2</h2>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.minecraft.net/article/testing-new-minecraft-features/feature-toggles-java-edition">here</a>.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://aka.ms/VillagerTradingFeedback">this link</a> 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.</p>
<h3>Cartographer</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/java-edition-1-20-2-pre-release-1.png" alt width="1312" height="269"></p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Armorer</h3>
<p>The Armorer’s trades have been updated with many changes.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Early-game players will find Armorers useful as a great source of iron armor, Shields, and Emeralds.</p>
<p>Other changes include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Most master-level Armorers buy Iron Blocks (and pay very well for them)</li>
<li>Chainmail armor is exclusively sold by the secret Jungle and Swamp Armorers</li>
<li>The Savanna Armorers sells cursed diamond armor at reduced prices</li>
<li>The Taiga Armorer can swap one piece of diamond armor for another</li>
</ul>

<h3>Structure Loot</h3>
<p>Certain Enchanted Books now have a high chance of generating in some structures:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ancient Cities: Mending</li>
<li>Mineshafts: Efficiency (I to V)</li>
<li>Pillager Outposts: Quick Charge (I to III)</li>
<li>Desert Temples: Unbreaking (I to III)</li>

If you want to check out the snapshot yourself be sure to enable snapshots within your Minecraft Launcher in the Installations tab.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Recipe Book search has been updated with the following changes:
<ul>
<li>The search will only match the beginning of any word in the item’s name
<ul>
<li>For example, searching for “tor” will still show Torch and Redstone Torch but not Daylight Detector anymore</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>All recipes, including those that have not been unlocked, will now show up in search results</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Updated structure icons on explorer maps sold by Cartographers</li>
<li>When villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The data pack version is now 18</li>
<li>Client options are now sent during the configuration network phase when joining a server</li>
</ul>
<h2>Data Pack Version 18</h2>
<p>This data pack version removes the recently introduced <span class="bedrock-server">execute if function</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">return run</span> functionality. Flaws with those commands (see bugs <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264595">MC-264595</a>, <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264699">MC-264699</a>, and <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-264710">MC-264710</a>) require some substantial changes to fix, which we do not want to make close to a release.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">execute if|unless function</span> command form</li>
<li>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">return run</span> command form</li>
<li>Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type</li>
<li>Added game rule <span class="bedrock-server">enderPearlsVanishOnDeath</span>, controlling whether thrown ender pearls vanish when the player that threw them dies (default <span class="bedrock-server">true</span>)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Villager Trade Rebalance Part 2</h2>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.minecraft.net/article/testing-new-minecraft-features/feature-toggles-java-edition">here</a>.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://aka.ms/VillagerTradingFeedback">this link</a> 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.</p>
<h3>Cartographer</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/java-edition-1-20-2-pre-release-1.png" alt width="1312" height="269"></p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Armorer</h3>
<p>The Armorer’s trades have been updated with many changes.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Early-game players will find Armorers useful as a great source of iron armor, Shields, and Emeralds.</p>
<p>Other changes include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Most master-level Armorers buy Iron Blocks (and pay very well for them)</li>
<li>Chainmail armor is exclusively sold by the secret Jungle and Swamp Armorers</li>
<li>The Savanna Armorers sells cursed diamond armor at reduced prices</li>
<li>The Taiga Armorer can swap one piece of diamond armor for another</li>
</ul>

<h3>Structure Loot</h3>
<p>Certain Enchanted Books now have a high chance of generating in some structures:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ancient Cities: Mending</li>
<li>Mineshafts: Efficiency (I to V)</li>
<li>Pillager Outposts: Quick Charge (I to III)</li>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Decorated Pots</h3>

</ul>
<h2>Sniffer</h2>
<ul>
<li>The Sniffer is the mob vote winner of Minecraft Live 2022</li>
<li>Sniffers are passive, friendly mobs</li>
<li>Sniffers sniff the air and occasionally dig for seeds, which produce a Torchflower Seed or a Pitcher Pod item</li>
<li>Sniffers can only dig grass and dirt-like blocks</li>
<li>Sniffers can be tempted by, and bred with Torchflowers Seeds</li>
</ul>
<h3>Sniffer Egg</h3>
<ul>
<li>Can be found by brushing the Suspicious Sand of Warm Ocean Ruins</li>
<li>When two Sniffers breed they do not immediately spawn a Snifflet; instead, a Sniffer Egg is dropped</li>
<li>When placed in the world, the Sniffer Egg will hatch after some time
<ul>
<li>When placed on Moss, the Egg will hatch in approximately 10 minutes</li>
<li>On all other blocks, it will hatch in about 20 minutes</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Torchflowers</h3>
<ul>
<li>The Sniffer can occasionally sniff up a Torchflowers seed, and it can be used to breed two Sniffers</li>
<li>The Torchflower seed can be planted on Farmland and grows into a Torchflower</li>
<li>The full-grown flower can be harvested and replanted</li>
<li>The Torchflower can be crafted into Orange Dye</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pitcher Plant</h3>
<ul>
<li>The Sniffer can occasionally sniff up a Pitcher Pod item</li>
<li>The Pitcher Pod, when planted on Farmland, grows into a Pitcher Crop</li>
<li>The Pitcher Crop has five growth stages</li>
<li>Once fully grown, the Pitcher Crop can be harvested, yielding a two-block-tall Pitcher Plant</li>
<li>The Pitcher Plant can be crafted into Cyan Dye</li>
</ul>
<h2>Camel</h2>
<ul>
<li>Camels can be equipped with a Saddle and ridden by two players</li>
<li>Camels spawn naturally when Desert Villages generate</li>
<li>Camels can be tempted by holding Cactus</li>
<li>Feed Cactus to Camels to breed them</li>
<li>Camels are tall
<ul>
<li>Most hostile mobs will not be able to reach you when you are on a Camel</li>
<li>They can walk over Fences and Walls</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Camels randomly sit down
<ul>
<li>While sitting, it is difficult to convince them to move</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Camels can either walk slowly or sprint quickly</li>
<li>They can also dash forward but will lose stamina for a while when doing so</li>
</ul>
<h2>Smithing</h2>
<ul>
<li>Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications</li>
<li>Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Template</li>
<li>Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to a piece of equipment
<ul>
<li>It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade</li>
<li>There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
<h3>Netherite Equipment</h3>
<ul>
<li>Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template</li>
<li>Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests
<ul>
<li>Every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant will contain 2 Smithing Templates</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>This change was made for a variety of reasons:
<ul>
<li>Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite</li>
<li>Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression</li>
<li>Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Armor Trims</h3>
<ul>
<li>You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table</li>
<li>Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits</li>
<li>Armor trims can be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
<ul>
<li>All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material</li>
<li>To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Templates:
<ul>
<li>Trail Ruins: Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, and Host Armor Trims</li>
<li>Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim</li>
<li>Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim</li>
<li>Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim</li>
<li>Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim</li>
<li>Ocean Monument: Tide Armor Trim</li>
<li>Ancient City: Ward and Silence Armor Trims</li>
<li>Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim</li>
<li>Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim</li>
<li>Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim</li>
<li>Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim</li>
<li>End City: Spire Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
<ul>
<li>Trail Ruins have no chests, Smithing Templates are instead found by brushing Suspicious Gravel</li>
<li>The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!</li>
<li>An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
<ul>
<li>The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim</li>
<li>The material is defined by which ingredient you used to apply the trim and controls the color of the trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
<ul>
<li>Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Cherry Grovers</h2>
<ul>

<li>Pink particles fall from beneath Cherry Leaves</li>
<li>Added a new Pink Petals block with lots of pink flowers on the ground
<ul>
<li>Each Pink Petal block can contain up to 4 petals</li>
<li>Using Bone Meal on it increases the number of petals</li>
<li>Placing a Pink Petal into an already placed block increases the number of petals</li>
<li>Drops the number of petals in the block when mined</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bamboo Wood Set</h2>
<ul>
<li>Added a new Bamboo wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it</li>
<li>Block of Bamboo can be crafted from 9 Bamboo and can be stripped like other wood logs</li>
<li>Bamboo Planks crafted from Block of Bamboo yields only 2 planks compared to 4 for wood logs</li>
<li>Added a new “Mosaic” plank variant that is unique to Bamboo called the Bamboo Mosaic
<ul>
<li>It can be crafted with 1×2 Bamboo Slabs in a vertical strip</li>
<li>You can craft Stair and Slab variants of Bamboo Mosaic</li>
<li>Bamboo Mosaic blocks cannot be used as a crafting ingredient where other wooden blocks are used, but they can be used as fuel</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added a unique Bamboo Raft and Bamboo Chest Raft which can be crafted like normal boats, but with Bamboo Planks
<ul>
<li>They function the same as ordinary boats but have a unique look to them</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Chiseled Bookshelf</h2>
<ul>
<li>A new, chiseled variation of the Bookshelf</li>
<li>Crafted with 6 planks and 3 wooden slabs</li>
<li>Can store Books, Books and Quills, Written Books, Enchanted Books, and Knowledge Books
<ul>
<li>Holds up to 6 books</li>
<li>These can be added or removed from any slot by targeting the specific slot</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The Comparator signal strength corresponds to the number of the last book that was inserted or removed
<ul>
<li>The numbering of book slots starts from 1 at the top-left, and increments from left-to-right</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Works with Hoppers</li>
</ul>
<h2>Hanging Signs</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hanging Signs are a more expensive version of normal Signs
<ul>
<li>Crafted with 2 chains and 6 stripped logs of your preferred wood type</li>
<li>Crafting results in 6 Hanging Signs</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Can be hung up in the following ways:
<ul>
<li>Underneath a block that can provide support in the center, like a full block or a fence</li>
<li>Attached to the solid side of a block</li>
<li>Attached to the side or underneath another Hanging Sign</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Unlike normal Signs, they cannot be placed directly on the ground without support from the side or above
<ul>
<li>However, Hanging Signs that have a horizontal bar will not pop when the supporting block is removed</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Signs</h2>
<p>The following changes have been made for both Signs and Hanging Signs.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sign text can now be edited after being placed in the world
<ul>
<li>This can be done by interacting with the Sign</li>
<li>Signs with non-text chat components can not be edited</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Both sides of the Sign can now have separate text and colors, allowing for further customization options
<ul>
<li>By default, a Sign will prompt you to input the front side’s text when placed</li>
<li>To apply the text to the back side, you must walk to the other side and interact with that face to edit it</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Signs can now also be waxed with Honeycomb, preventing any further edits to its text</li>
<li>Opening the sign edit screen in singleplayer no longer pauses the game</li>
</ul>
<h2>Calibrated Sculk Sensors</h2>
<ul>
<li>A new variant of Sculk Sensors that allows you to filter vibrations based on their frequency level</li>
<li>They are not found naturally and can only be crafted with 1 Sculk Sensor and 3 Amethyst Shards in the Crafting Table</li>
<li>One side of the Calibrated Sculk Sensor can receive a redstone signal as input
<ul>
<li>The strength of that redstone signal is the only vibration frequency the Sculk Sensor will listen to</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>They have a combined active and cooldown phase that lasts 20 game ticks
<ul>
<li>They output their redstone signal for the first 10 game ticks</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>They can detect vibrations up to 16 blocks away</li>
</ul>
<h2>Vibration Resonance</h2>
<ul>
<li>Blocks of Amethyst have a new behavior when placed adjacent to Sculk Sensors
<ul>
<li>If that Sculk Sensor receives a vibration, the Block of Amethyst will re-emit its frequency as a separate vibration at its location</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>This behavior is called Vibration Resonance and allows players to move vibration frequencies across long distances without having to recreate the vibration naturally</li>
</ul>
<h2>Playable Mob Sounds</h2>
<ul>
<li>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</li>
<li>Mob Heads can be placed on top of Note Blocks without sneaking</li>
</ul>
<h2>Piglin Mob Head</h2>
<ul>
<li>Piglins will now drop their heads when killed by a charged Creeper</li>
<li>Placing the Piglin head on a Note Block will play one of the Piglin’s ambient sounds</li>
<li>The Piglin head will flap its ears when powered by Redstone, or when worn by a player while walking</li>
</ul>
<h2>New Music</h2>
<ul>
<li>Added the following new music tracks by Aaron Cherof to Cherry Groves, Desert, Jungle, Badlands, and Flower Forest biomes:

<li>Removed Herobrine</li>
</ul>
<h2>Sculk Changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>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
<ul>
<li>Prevents vibration resonance setups from breaking when unloading their chunks from a distance</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Waterlogging a Sculk Shrieker will now silence their shrieking sounds</li>
<li>Sculk Sensors’ default redstone output has been modified to be more reliable for distance calculations</li>
<li>Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors now strongly power the block they are placed on</li>
<li>Both types of Sculk Sensors now stay in their Cooldown phase for 10 ticks, with other phase timings being adjusted to compensate</li>
</ul>
<h3>Sculk Sensor Phases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors have three phases: Inactive, Active, and Cooldown</li>
<li>The default phase is Inactive
<ul>
<li>This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration</li>
<li>During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase
<ul>
<li>This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors</li>
<li>During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils and emits a redstone signal and light</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase
<ul>
<li>This phase lasts for 10 game ticks</li>
<li>During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a redstone signal nor light</li>
<li>Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Previously, some of these phases had different timing values:
<ul>
<li>Active: 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors</li>
<li>Cooldown: 1 game tick for both types of Sculk Sensors</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them</li>
</ul>
<h3>Vibration Frequencies</h3>
<p>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:</p>
<ol>
<li>Movement in any medium (land, water, and air)</li>
<li>Landing on any surface (land or water)</li>
<li>Item interactions</li>
<li>Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (Ravager roar, Wolf shaking, etc)</li>
<li>Dismounting a mob or equipping gear</li>
<li>Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob</li>
<li>Mobs and players getting damaged</li>
<li>Consuming items (drinking and eating)</li>
<li>Blocks ‘deactivating’ (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)</li>
<li>Blocks ‘activating’ (door open, chest open, button press, etc)</li>
<li>Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to the campfire, etc.)</li>
<li>Blocks being destroyed</li>
<li>Blocks being placed</li>
<li>Mobs and players teleporting or spawning</li>
<li>Mobs and players dying or an explosion</li>
</ol>
<h2>Step Sounds</h2>
<ul>
<li>Walking on a block will now always play a step sound
<ul>
<li>It was previously not the case if you were walking along the edge of a block with air or fluid beside it</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Walking on the ocean floor will produce a step sound for the block you are walking on at a lower volume and pitch</li>
<li>When walking on Carpets, Snow, Nether Sprouts, Warped Roots, and Crimson Roots, a combination of step sounds will be played
<ul>
<li>The top-most block you are walking on is played as normal</li>
<li>The block underneath is played at a lower volume and pitch</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Remaining separate top-level commands in the currently executing function (if any) are skipped</li>
<li>The result value of the <span class="bedrock-server">function</span> command that triggered the function is changed from the number of commands executed to <span class="bedrock-server">value</span></li>
<li>The result value of the <span class="bedrock-server">return</span> command is also the <span class="bedrock-server">value</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Syntax:</p>
<p><span class="bedrock-server">return <value></span></p>
<p>Parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">value</span>: An integer return value</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="bedrock-server">DATA</span></h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">string</span> data sources now accept negative boundaries, which are interpreted as index counted from the end of the string</li>
</ul>
<h2>Display Entity</h2>
<h3>Interpolation Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Previous values are always discarded if <span class="bedrock-server">interpolation_duration</span> is <span class="bedrock-server">0</span></li>
<li>Made sure that render properties are applied at the same time (so <span class="bedrock-server">block_state</span> is applied at the same time as transformation, i.e. at the next tick after receiving an update)</li>
<li>Display entities are not rendered until their initial data is received. That means display entities might not be shown on the first tick.</li>
<li>Note: due to how the game handles updates, changes to entities made after summoning might be delivered to clients within a later tick</li>
</ul>
<h3>Rendering Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">item_display</span> 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
<ul>
<li>For reference, the order of transformations applied to the model (starting from innermost) is <span class="bedrock-server">item_transform</span>, rotate Y 180, <span class="bedrock-server">transformation</span> field, entity orientation (billboard option + <span class="bedrock-server">Rotation</span> field + <span class="bedrock-server">Pos</span> field)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Structure Post-Processors</h2>
<h3>Capped Post-Processors</h3>
<ul>
<li>A <span class="bedrock-server">capped</span> post-processor has been added which can limit how many blocks a delegated post-processor randomly transforms in a structure</li>
<li>This can be used to configure a structure piece to have an exact amount of specific blocks, instead of using random distribution</li>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">capped</span> post-processor has the following required parameters:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">delegate</span> A post-processor that performs the actual block transformation</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">limit</span> the Maximum amount of blocks that the delegated post-processor can transform
<ul>
<li>The blocks inside a structure are all randomly passed to the delegated post-processor until it has transformed the limited amount</li>
<li>Either a constant or random number generator was sampled during post-processing</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Rule Post-Processor Block Entity Configuration</h3>
<ul>
<li>Previously a rule could specify an optional fixed <span class="bedrock-server">output_nbt</span> which would be added to the processed output block entity</li>
<li>This field has now been changed to reference a <span class="bedrock-server">block_entity_modifier</span></li>
<li>Existing <span class="bedrock-server">block_entity_modifier</span>‘s are:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">passthrough</span> Retains existing fields on the block entity
<ul>
<li>This is the default if no <span class="bedrock-server">block_entity_modifier</span> is specified</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">append_static</span> Similar to the previous <span class="bedrock-server">output_nbt</span> this provides fixed fields to add to the block entity
<ul>
<li>A minor change is that this modifier appends configured fields to the processed block instead of replacing existing fields</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">clear</span> Removes any existing fields on the block entity</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">append_loot</span> Appends a loot table and seed to the block entity through the required parameter:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">loot_table</span> Referenced loot table to add to block entity as <span class="bedrock-server">LootTable</span> field</li>
<li>Field <span class="bedrock-server">LootTableSeed</span> is also added to the block entity using random seeded by block position</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Loot Tables</h2>
<h3>Random Sequences</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The ID of the random sequence to use for a loot table is specified in a new optional field called <span class="bedrock-server">random_sequence</span>. If no sequence name is given, loot is drawn using a non-deterministic random source.</p>
<h3><span class="bedrock-server">Reference</span></h3>
<p>New function <span class="bedrock-server">reference</span> allows functions to call sub-functions (similar to <span class="bedrock-server">reference</span> condition).</p>
<p>Fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">name</span> – location of function to call</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="bedrock-server">Any_of</span>/<span class="bedrock-server">All_of</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Loot condition <span class="bedrock-server">alternative</span> has been renamed to <span class="bedrock-server">any_of</span></li>
<li>Added new loot condition <span class="bedrock-server">all_of</span> that passes only when all sub-conditions pass
<ul>
<li>Has the same syntax as <span class="bedrock-server">any_of</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Advancements</h2>
<h3>New Triggers</h3>
<h4><span class="bedrock-server">Recipe_Crafted</span></h4>
<ul>
<li>Triggered when crafting a recipe</li>
<li>Conditions:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">recipe_id</span> – the resource location of the recipe crafted</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">ingredients</span> – an array of predicates for the item stacks used in the recipe
<ul>
<li>A single-item stack can only be used to fulfill one predicate</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>This field is optional. When not provided, or left empty, only the <span class="bedrock-server">recipe_id</span> will dictate the success of the trigger</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changed Triggers</h3>
<ul>
<li>All fields in <span class="bedrock-server">placed_block</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">item_used_on_block,</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">allay_drop_item_on_block</span> have been collapsed into a single <span class="bedrock-server">location</span> field</li>
<li>The new <span class="bedrock-server">location</span> is similar to the <span class="bedrock-server">player</span> field – it is a list of loot conditions/predicates</li>
<li>All conditions in this list must match for a trigger to run</li>
<li>Conditions are evaluated in a new loot context called <span class="bedrock-server">advancement_location</span>. It has access to:
<ul>
<li>Player as <span class="bedrock-server">this</span> entity</li>
<li>Position of the placed block</li>
<li>Block state of the placed/interacted block</li>
<li>Held/used item as “tool”</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Migration guide:
<ul>
<li>Contents of the old <span class="bedrock-server">location</span> field should be migrated to <span class="bedrock-server">location_check</span> condition</li>
<li>Contents of the <span class="bedrock-server">item</span> field should be migrated to <span class="bedrock-server">match_tool</span> condition</li>
<li>Contents of the <span class="bedrock-server">block</span> + <span class="bedrock-server">state</span> fields should be migrated to <span class="bedrock-server">block_state_property</span> condition</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Example</b> (from <span class="bedrock-server">make_a_sign_glow</span> advancement):</p>
<p>Before:</p>
<pre><code><span>{ "conditions": { "item": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] }, "location": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block"
}</span><p><span>After:</span><br></p></code></pre>
<pre><span><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"
}</code></span><code></code></pre>
<h2>Damage Types</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Players outside the world border are now hurt by the damage type <span class="bedrock-server">outside_border</span> instead of <span class="bedrock-server">in_wall</span></li>
<li>Forcibly removing an entity using the <span class="bedrock-server">/kill</span> command now uses damage type <span class="bedrock-server">generic_kill</span> instead of <span class="bedrock-server">out_of_world</span></li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>Tags</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>

<h2>Fonts</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>New <span class="bedrock-server">Unihex</span> Glyph Provider</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>New glyph provider for reading Unifont HEX files
<ul>
<li>HEX format describes font glyphs using a bitmap
<ul>
<li>The height of every glyph is 16 pixels</li>
<li>The width of the glyph can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 pixels</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Every line is made of two hexadecimal numbers separated by <span class="bedrock-server">:</span></li>
<li>The first value describes a codepoint – it must have 4, 5, or 6 hex digits</li>
<li>The second value describes the glyph as a stream of bits, line by line</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When rendering, empty columns on the left and right sides of glyphs are removed
<ul>
<li>Custom glyph widths can be set with <span class="bedrock-server">size_overrides</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>This provider requires two fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">hex_file</span> – path to ZIP archive containing one or more <span class="bedrock-server">*.hex</span> files (files in the archive with different extensions are ignored)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">size_overrides</span> – list of codepoint ranges that should have width different from auto-detected (based on empty space in glyph). Fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">from</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">to</span> – start and end of codepoint range (inclusive)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">left</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">right</span> – integers describing the position of the left-most and right-most columns of the glyph in the range
<ul>
<li>Any bits in columns outside of this range will be discarded</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>New <span class="bedrock-server">Reference</span> Glyph Provider</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>New glyph provider that can be used to include providers from other fonts
<ul>
<li>Providers are guaranteed to be loaded only once, no matter how many times they are included</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Provider has one field <span class="bedrock-server">id</span>, that describes another font to be included in the currently loaded one
<ul>
<li>Inclusion is performed after all fonts are loaded, so it will include all providers for a given font defined in all datapacks</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">Legacy_Unicode</span> Glyph Provider</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">legacy_unicode</span> glyph provider has been removed</li>
<li>This functionality has been replaced by the <span class="bedrock-server">unihex</span> provider</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>Quick Play</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Added support for four new command line arguments that allow the game to be launched directly into a world</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">quickPlayPath</span> takes a specified path for logging (relative to the run directory)
<ul>
<li>If a path is provided the following will be logged upon joining a world:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">type</span>: is either <span class="bedrock-server">singleplayer</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">multiplayer</span>, or <span class="bedrock-server">realms</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">identifier</span>: represents the world you want to join
<ul>
<li>For singleplayer, the folder name of the world</li>
<li>For multiplayer, the IP address of the server</li>
<li>For realms, the Realms ID</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">port</span>: represents the server port and is only logged for multiplayer</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">name</span>: The name of the world</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">gamemode</span>: The gamemode of the world</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">lastPlayedTime</span>: The time you joined the world</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Example:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">–quickPlayPath “quickPlay/log.json”</span> will resolve into <span class="bedrock-server">.minecraft/quickPlay/log.json</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">quickPlaySingleplayer</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">quickPlayMultiplayer,</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">quickPlayRealms</span> all take their respective <span class="bedrock-server">identifier</span>
<ul>
<li>If one of these arguments is provided, the game will try to launch directly into the given world</li>
<li>Examples:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">–quickPlaySingleplayer “New World”</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">–quickPlayMultiplayer “localhost:25565”</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">–quickPlayRealms “1234”</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>Telemetry</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>All Events</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Added new property: <span class="bedrock-server">launcher_name</span>
<ul>
<li>This is set based on the <span class="bedrock-server">minecraft.launcher.brand</span> system property</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Updated Required Events</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">world_loaded</span>
<ul>
<li>Added new property: <span class="bedrock-server">realms_map_content</span>
<ul>
<li>When loading into a Realms Map Content world (Minigame), the <span class="bedrock-server">world_loaded</span> event will receive the name of that map</li>
<li>This is to help us understand how Java Realms players interact with Java Realms adventure or minimap content</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>New Optional Events</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">advancement_made</span>
<ul>
<li>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</li>
<li>This helps us as a studio understand player progress and limits, which informs our game design</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">game_load_times</span>
<ul>
<li>This event is triggered when the game client is loaded</li>
<li>Includes the time it took for the client to load</li>
<li>This is so that we can work on improving and reducing the time it takes to load the game client</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2><span class="bedrock-server">Server.Properties</span></h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>File is now read in UTF-8 initially, with the previous encoding (ISO 8859-1/Latin 1) as a fallback</li>
<li>File is now written with UTF-8 encoding</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>SymbolicC Link Validation</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>To improve safety, the game will now detect symbolic links used inside the world directory. For a detailed explanation, check our <a href="https://aka.ms/MinecraftSymLinks">help article</a>.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>If the target of a symbolic link is not on the user-configured allow-list, the game will not proceed with loading the world
<ul>
<li>Note: the world directory itself can still be linked</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The list of allowed symbolic link targets is stored in the file <span class="bedrock-server">allowed_symlinks.txt</span> in the client or server top directory</li>
<li>The file consists of entries (one per line) with the following formats allowed:
<ul>
<li>Lines starting with <span class="bedrock-server">#</span> are comments and are ignored</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">[type]pattern</span>, where <span class="bedrock-server">type</span> can be a <span class="bedrock-server">glob</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">regex,</span> or <span class="bedrock-server">prefix</span>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">prefix</span> matches the start of the path with the given pattern (so for <span class="bedrock-server">/test</span> paths <span class="bedrock-server">/test</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">/test/</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">/test/foo.txt</span> would match)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">regex</span> matches regular expression against the whole path</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">glob</span> uses an OS-specific path-matching mechanism (for example <span class="bedrock-server">*.txt</span> would usually match files with a <span class="bedrock-server">txt</span> extension)</li>
<li>Note: paths will use OS-specific separators</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">pattern</span>, which uses the default <span class="bedrock-server">prefix</span> type</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<h2>Sniffer</h2>
<ul>
<li>The Sniffer is the mob vote winner of Minecraft Live 2022</li>
<li>Sniffers are passive, friendly mobs</li>
<li>Sniffers sniff the air and occasionally dig for seeds, which produce a Torchflower Seed or a Pitcher Pod item</li>
<li>Sniffers can only dig grass and dirt-like blocks</li>
<li>Sniffers can be tempted by, and bred with Torchflowers Seeds</li>
</ul>
<h3>Sniffer Egg</h3>
<ul>
<li>Can be found by brushing the Suspicious Sand of Warm Ocean Ruins</li>
<li>When two Sniffers breed they do not immediately spawn a Snifflet; instead, a Sniffer Egg is dropped</li>
<li>When placed in the world, the Sniffer Egg will hatch after some time
<ul>
<li>When placed on Moss, the Egg will hatch in approximately 10 minutes</li>
<li>On all other blocks, it will hatch in about 20 minutes</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Torchflowers</h3>
<ul>
<li>The Sniffer can occasionally sniff up a Torchflowers seed, and it can be used to breed two Sniffers</li>
<li>The Torchflower seed can be planted on Farmland and grows into a Torchflower</li>
<li>The full-grown flower can be harvested and replanted</li>
<li>The Torchflower can be crafted into Orange Dye</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pitcher Plant</h3>
<ul>
<li>The Sniffer can occasionally sniff up a Pitcher Pod item</li>
<li>The Pitcher Pod, when planted on Farmland, grows into a Pitcher Crop</li>
<li>The Pitcher Crop has five growth stages</li>
<li>Once fully grown, the Pitcher Crop can be harvested, yielding a two-block-tall Pitcher Plant</li>
<li>The Pitcher Plant can be crafted into Cyan Dye</li>
</ul>
<h2>Camel</h2>
<ul>
<li>Camels can be equipped with a Saddle and ridden by two players</li>
<li>Camels spawn naturally when Desert Villages generate</li>
<li>Camels can be tempted by holding Cactus</li>
<li>Feed Cactus to Camels to breed them</li>
<li>Camels are tall
<ul>
<li>Most hostile mobs will not be able to reach you when you are on a Camel</li>
<li>They can walk over Fences and Walls</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Camels randomly sit down
<ul>
<li>While sitting, it is difficult to convince them to move</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Camels can either walk slowly or sprint quickly</li>
<li>They can also dash forward but will lose stamina for a while when doing so</li>
</ul>
<h2>Smithing</h2>
<ul>
<li>Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications</li>
<li>Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Template</li>
<li>Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to a piece of equipment
<ul>
<li>It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade</li>
<li>There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
<h3>Netherite Equipment</h3>
<ul>
<li>Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template</li>
<li>Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests
<ul>
<li>Every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant will contain 2 Smithing Templates</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>This change was made for a variety of reasons:
<ul>
<li>Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite</li>
<li>Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression</li>
<li>Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Armor Trims</h3>
<ul>
<li>You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table</li>
<li>Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits</li>
<li>Armor trims can be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
<ul>
<li>All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material</li>
<li>To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Templates:
<ul>
<li>Trail Ruins: Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, and Host Armor Trims</li>
<li>Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim</li>
<li>Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim</li>
<li>Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim</li>
<li>Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim</li>
<li>Ocean Monument: Tide Armor Trim</li>
<li>Ancient City: Ward and Silence Armor Trims</li>
<li>Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim</li>
<li>Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim</li>
<li>Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim</li>
<li>Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim</li>
<li>End City: Spire Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
<ul>
<li>Trail Ruins have no chests, Smithing Templates are instead found by brushing Suspicious Gravel</li>
<li>The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!</li>
<li>An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
<ul>
<li>The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim</li>
<li>The material is defined by which ingredient you used to apply the trim and controls the color of the trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
<ul>
<li>Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Cherry Grovers</h2>

<li>Placing a Pink Petal into an already placed block increases the number of petals</li>
<li>Drops the number of petals in the block when mined</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bamboo Wood Set</h2>
<ul>
<li>Added a new Bamboo wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it</li>
<li>Block of Bamboo can be crafted from 9 Bamboo and can be stripped like other wood logs</li>
<li>Bamboo Planks crafted from Block of Bamboo yields only 2 planks compared to 4 for wood logs</li>
<li>Added a new “Mosaic” plank variant that is unique to Bamboo called the Bamboo Mosaic
<ul>
<li>It can be crafted with 1×2 Bamboo Slabs in a vertical strip</li>
<li>You can craft Stair and Slab variants of Bamboo Mosaic</li>
<li>Bamboo Mosaic blocks cannot be used as a crafting ingredient where other wooden blocks are used, but they can be used as fuel</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added a unique Bamboo Raft and Bamboo Chest Raft which can be crafted like normal boats, but with Bamboo Planks
<ul>
<li>They function the same as ordinary boats but have a unique look to them</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Chiseled Bookshelf</h2>
<ul>
<li>A new, chiseled variation of the Bookshelf</li>
<li>Crafted with 6 planks and 3 wooden slabs</li>
<li>Can store Books, Books and Quills, Written Books, Enchanted Books, and Knowledge Books
<ul>
<li>Holds up to 6 books</li>
<li>These can be added or removed from any slot by targeting the specific slot</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The Comparator signal strength corresponds to the number of the last book that was inserted or removed
<ul>
<li>The numbering of book slots starts from 1 at the top-left, and increments from left-to-right</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Works with Hoppers</li>
</ul>
<h2>Hanging Signs</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hanging Signs are a more expensive version of normal Signs
<ul>
<li>Crafted with 2 chains and 6 stripped logs of your preferred wood type</li>
<li>Crafting results in 6 Hanging Signs</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Can be hung up in the following ways:
<ul>
<li>Underneath a block that can provide support in the center, like a full block or a fence</li>
<li>Attached to the solid side of a block</li>
<li>Attached to the side or underneath another Hanging Sign</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Unlike normal Signs, they cannot be placed directly on the ground without support from the side or above
<ul>
<li>However, Hanging Signs that have a horizontal bar will not pop when the supporting block is removed</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Signs</h2>
<p>The following changes have been made for both Signs and Hanging Signs.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sign text can now be edited after being placed in the world
<ul>
<li>This can be done by interacting with the Sign</li>
<li>Signs with non-text chat components can not be edited</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Both sides of the Sign can now have separate text and colors, allowing for further customization options
<ul>
<li>By default, a Sign will prompt you to input the front side’s text when placed</li>
<li>To apply the text to the back side, you must walk to the other side and interact with that face to edit it</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Signs can now also be waxed with Honeycomb, preventing any further edits to its text</li>
<li>Opening the sign edit screen in singleplayer no longer pauses the game</li>
</ul>
<h2>Calibrated Sculk Sensors</h2>
<ul>
<li>A new variant of Sculk Sensors that allows you to filter vibrations based on their frequency level</li>
<li>They are not found naturally and can only be crafted with 1 Sculk Sensor and 3 Amethyst Shards in the Crafting Table</li>
<li>One side of the Calibrated Sculk Sensor can receive a redstone signal as input
<ul>
<li>The strength of that redstone signal is the only vibration frequency the Sculk Sensor will listen to</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>They have a combined active and cooldown phase that lasts 20 game ticks
<ul>
<li>They output their redstone signal for the first 10 game ticks</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>They can detect vibrations up to 16 blocks away</li>
</ul>
<h2>Vibration Resonance</h2>
<ul>
<li>Blocks of Amethyst have a new behavior when placed adjacent to Sculk Sensors
<ul>
<li>If that Sculk Sensor receives a vibration, the Block of Amethyst will re-emit its frequency as a separate vibration at its location</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>This behavior is called Vibration Resonance and allows players to move vibration frequencies across long distances without having to recreate the vibration naturally</li>
</ul>
<h2>Playable Mob Sounds</h2>
<ul>
<li>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</li>
<li>Mob Heads can be placed on top of Note Blocks without sneaking</li>
</ul>
<h2>Piglin Mob Head</h2>
<ul>
<li>Piglins will now drop their heads when killed by a charged Creeper</li>
<li>Placing the Piglin head on a Note Block will play one of the Piglin’s ambient sounds</li>
<li>The Piglin head will flap its ears when powered by Redstone, or when worn by a player while walking</li>
</ul>

<li>Removed Herobrine</li>
</ul>
<h2>Sculk Changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>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
<ul>
<li>Prevents vibration resonance setups from breaking when unloading their chunks from a distance</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Waterlogging a Sculk Shrieker will now silence their shrieking sounds</li>
<li>Sculk Sensors’ default redstone output has been modified to be more reliable for distance calculations</li>
<li>Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors now strongly power the block they are placed on</li>
<li>Both types of Sculk Sensors now stay in their Cooldown phase for 10 ticks, with other phase timings being adjusted to compensate</li>
</ul>
<h3>Sculk Sensor Phases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors have three phases: Inactive, Active, and Cooldown</li>
<li>The default phase is Inactive
<ul>
<li>This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration</li>
<li>During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase
<ul>
<li>This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors</li>
<li>During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils and emits a redstone signal and light</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase
<ul>
<li>This phase lasts for 10 game ticks</li>
<li>During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a redstone signal nor light</li>
<li>Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Previously, some of these phases had different timing values:
<ul>
<li>Active: 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors</li>
<li>Cooldown: 1 game tick for both types of Sculk Sensors</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them</li>
</ul>
<h3>Vibration Frequencies</h3>
<p>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:</p>
<ol>
<li>Movement in any medium (land, water, and air)</li>
<li>Landing on any surface (land or water)</li>
<li>Item interactions</li>
<li>Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (Ravager roar, Wolf shaking, etc)</li>
<li>Dismounting a mob or equipping gear</li>
<li>Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob</li>
<li>Mobs and players getting damaged</li>
<li>Consuming items (drinking and eating)</li>
<li>Blocks ‘deactivating’ (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)</li>
<li>Blocks ‘activating’ (door open, chest open, button press, etc)</li>
<li>Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to the campfire, etc.)</li>
<li>Blocks being destroyed</li>
<li>Blocks being placed</li>
<li>Mobs and players teleporting or spawning</li>
<li>Mobs and players dying or an explosion</li>
</ol>
<h2>Step Sounds</h2>
<ul>
<li>Walking on a block will now always play a step sound
<ul>
<li>It was previously not the case if you were walking along the edge of a block with air or fluid beside it</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Walking on the ocean floor will produce a step sound for the block you are walking on at a lower volume and pitch</li>
<li>When walking on Carpets, Snow, Nether Sprouts, Warped Roots, and Crimson Roots, a combination of step sounds will be played
<ul>
<li>The top-most block you are walking on is played as normal</li>
<li>The block underneath is played at a lower volume and pitch</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p>Syntax:</p>
<p><span class="bedrock-server">return <value></span></p>
<p>Parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">value</span>: An integer return value</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="bedrock-server">DATA</span></h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">string</span> data sources now accept negative boundaries, which are interpreted as index counted from the end of the string</li>
</ul>
<h2>Display Entity</h2>
<h3>Interpolation Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Previous values are always discarded if <span class="bedrock-server">interpolation_duration</span> is <span class="bedrock-server">0</span></li>
<li>Made sure that render properties are applied at the same time (so <span class="bedrock-server">block_state</span> is applied at the same time as transformation, i.e. at the next tick after receiving an update)</li>
<li>Display entities are not rendered until their initial data is received. That means display entities might not be shown on the first tick.</li>
<li>Note: due to how the game handles updates, changes to entities made after summoning might be delivered to clients within a later tick</li>
</ul>
<h3>Rendering Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">item_display</span> 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
<ul>
<li>For reference, the order of transformations applied to the model (starting from innermost) is <span class="bedrock-server">item_transform</span>, rotate Y 180, <span class="bedrock-server">transformation</span> field, entity orientation (billboard option + <span class="bedrock-server">Rotation</span> field + <span class="bedrock-server">Pos</span> field)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Structure Post-Processors</h2>
<h3>Capped Post-Processors</h3>
<ul>
<li>A <span class="bedrock-server">capped</span> post-processor has been added which can limit how many blocks a delegated post-processor randomly transforms in a structure</li>
<li>This can be used to configure a structure piece to have an exact amount of specific blocks, instead of using random distribution</li>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">capped</span> post-processor has the following required parameters:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">delegate</span> A post-processor that performs the actual block transformation</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">limit</span> the Maximum amount of blocks that the delegated post-processor can transform
<ul>
<li>The blocks inside a structure are all randomly passed to the delegated post-processor until it has transformed the limited amount</li>
<li>Either a constant or random number generator was sampled during post-processing</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Rule Post-Processor Block Entity Configuration</h3>
<ul>
<li>Previously a rule could specify an optional fixed <span class="bedrock-server">output_nbt</span> which would be added to the processed output block entity</li>
<li>This field has now been changed to reference a <span class="bedrock-server">block_entity_modifier</span></li>
<li>Existing <span class="bedrock-server">block_entity_modifier</span>‘s are:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">passthrough</span> Retains existing fields on the block entity
<ul>
<li>This is the default if no <span class="bedrock-server">block_entity_modifier</span> is specified</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">append_static</span> Similar to the previous <span class="bedrock-server">output_nbt</span> this provides fixed fields to add to the block entity
<ul>
<li>A minor change is that this modifier appends configured fields to the processed block instead of replacing existing fields</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">clear</span> Removes any existing fields on the block entity</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">append_loot</span> Appends a loot table and seed to the block entity through the required parameter:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">loot_table</span> Referenced loot table to add to block entity as <span class="bedrock-server">LootTable</span> field</li>
<li>Field <span class="bedrock-server">LootTableSeed</span> is also added to the block entity using random seeded by block position</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Loot Tables</h2>
<h3>Random Sequences</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The ID of the random sequence to use for a loot table is specified in a new optional field called <span class="bedrock-server">random_sequence</span>. If no sequence name is given, loot is drawn using a non-deterministic random source.</p>
<h3><span class="bedrock-server">Reference</span></h3>
<p>New function <span class="bedrock-server">reference</span> allows functions to call sub-functions (similar to <span class="bedrock-server">reference</span> condition).</p>
<p>Fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">name</span> – location of function to call</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="bedrock-server">Any_of</span>/<span class="bedrock-server">All_of</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Loot condition <span class="bedrock-server">alternative</span> has been renamed to <span class="bedrock-server">any_of</span></li>
<li>Added new loot condition <span class="bedrock-server">all_of</span> that passes only when all sub-conditions pass
<ul>
<li>Has the same syntax as <span class="bedrock-server">any_of</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Advancements</h2>
<h3>New Triggers</h3>
<h4><span class="bedrock-server">Recipe_Crafted</span></h4>
<ul>
<li>Triggered when crafting a recipe</li>
<li>Conditions:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">recipe_id</span> – the resource location of the recipe crafted</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">ingredients</span> – an array of predicates for the item stacks used in the recipe
<ul>
<li>A single-item stack can only be used to fulfill one predicate</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>This field is optional. When not provided, or left empty, only the <span class="bedrock-server">recipe_id</span> will dictate the success of the trigger</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changed Triggers</h3>
<ul>
<li>All fields in <span class="bedrock-server">placed_block</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">item_used_on_block,</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">allay_drop_item_on_block</span> have been collapsed into a single <span class="bedrock-server">location</span> field</li>
<li>The new <span class="bedrock-server">location</span> is similar to the <span class="bedrock-server">player</span> field – it is a list of loot conditions/predicates</li>
<li>All conditions in this list must match for a trigger to run</li>
<li>Conditions are evaluated in a new loot context called <span class="bedrock-server">advancement_location</span>. It has access to:
<ul>
<li>Player as <span class="bedrock-server">this</span> entity</li>
<li>Position of the placed block</li>
<li>Block state of the placed/interacted block</li>
<li>Held/used item as “tool”</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Migration guide:
<ul>
<li>Contents of the old <span class="bedrock-server">location</span> field should be migrated to <span class="bedrock-server">location_check</span> condition</li>
<li>Contents of the <span class="bedrock-server">item</span> field should be migrated to <span class="bedrock-server">match_tool</span> condition</li>
<li>Contents of the <span class="bedrock-server">block</span> + <span class="bedrock-server">state</span> fields should be migrated to <span class="bedrock-server">block_state_property</span> condition</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Example</b> (from <span class="bedrock-server">make_a_sign_glow</span> advancement):</p>
<p>Before:</p>
<pre><code><span>{ "conditions": { "item": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] }, "location": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block"
}</span><p><span>After:</span><br></p></code></pre>
<pre><span><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"
}</code></span><code></code></pre>
<h2>Damage Types</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Players outside the world border are now hurt by the damage type <span class="bedrock-server">outside_border</span> instead of <span class="bedrock-server">in_wall</span></li>
<li>Forcibly removing an entity using the <span class="bedrock-server">/kill</span> command now uses damage type <span class="bedrock-server">generic_kill</span> instead of <span class="bedrock-server">out_of_world</span></li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>Tags</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>

<h2>Fonts</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>New <span class="bedrock-server">Unihex</span> Glyph Provider</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>New glyph provider for reading Unifont HEX files
<ul>
<li>HEX format describes font glyphs using a bitmap
<ul>
<li>The height of every glyph is 16 pixels</li>
<li>The width of the glyph can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 pixels</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Every line is made of two hexadecimal numbers separated by <span class="bedrock-server">:</span></li>
<li>The first value describes a codepoint – it must have 4, 5, or 6 hex digits</li>
<li>The second value describes the glyph as a stream of bits, line by line</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When rendering, empty columns on the left and right sides of glyphs are removed
<ul>
<li>Custom glyph widths can be set with <span class="bedrock-server">size_overrides</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>This provider requires two fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">hex_file</span> – path to ZIP archive containing one or more <span class="bedrock-server">*.hex</span> files (files in the archive with different extensions are ignored)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">size_overrides</span> – list of codepoint ranges that should have width different from auto-detected (based on empty space in glyph). Fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">from</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">to</span> – start and end of codepoint range (inclusive)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">left</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">right</span> – integers describing the position of the left-most and right-most columns of the glyph in the range
<ul>
<li>Any bits in columns outside of this range will be discarded</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>New <span class="bedrock-server">Reference</span> Glyph Provider</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>New glyph provider that can be used to include providers from other fonts
<ul>
<li>Providers are guaranteed to be loaded only once, no matter how many times they are included</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Provider has one field <span class="bedrock-server">id</span>, that describes another font to be included in the currently loaded one
<ul>
<li>Inclusion is performed after all fonts are loaded, so it will include all providers for a given font defined in all datapacks</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Removed <span class="bedrock-server">Legacy_Unicode</span> Glyph Provider</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">legacy_unicode</span> glyph provider has been removed</li>
<li>This functionality has been replaced by the <span class="bedrock-server">unihex</span> provider</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>Quick Play</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Added support for four new command line arguments that allow the game to be launched directly into a world</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">quickPlayPath</span> takes a specified path for logging (relative to the run directory)
<ul>
<li>If a path is provided the following will be logged upon joining a world:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">type</span>: is either <span class="bedrock-server">singleplayer</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">multiplayer</span>, or <span class="bedrock-server">realms</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">identifier</span>: represents the world you want to join
<ul>
<li>For singleplayer, the folder name of the world</li>
<li>For multiplayer, the IP address of the server</li>
<li>For realms, the Realms ID</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">port</span>: represents the server port and is only logged for multiplayer</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">name</span>: The name of the world</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">gamemode</span>: The gamemode of the world</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">lastPlayedTime</span>: The time you joined the world</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Example:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">–quickPlayPath “quickPlay/log.json”</span> will resolve into <span class="bedrock-server">.minecraft/quickPlay/log.json</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">quickPlaySingleplayer</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">quickPlayMultiplayer,</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">quickPlayRealms</span> all take their respective <span class="bedrock-server">identifier</span>
<ul>
<li>If one of these arguments is provided, the game will try to launch directly into the given world</li>
<li>Examples:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">–quickPlaySingleplayer “New World”</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">–quickPlayMultiplayer “localhost:25565”</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">–quickPlayRealms “1234”</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>Telemetry</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>All Events</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Added new property: <span class="bedrock-server">launcher_name</span>
<ul>
<li>This is set based on the <span class="bedrock-server">minecraft.launcher.brand</span> system property</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>Updated Required Events</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">world_loaded</span>
<ul>
<li>Added new property: <span class="bedrock-server">realms_map_content</span>
<ul>
<li>When loading into a Realms Map Content world (Minigame), the <span class="bedrock-server">world_loaded</span> event will receive the name of that map</li>
<li>This is to help us understand how Java Realms players interact with Java Realms adventure or minimap content</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h3>New Optional Events</h3>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">advancement_made</span>
<ul>
<li>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</li>
<li>This helps us as a studio understand player progress and limits, which informs our game design</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">game_load_times</span>
<ul>
<li>This event is triggered when the game client is loaded</li>
<li>Includes the time it took for the client to load</li>
<li>This is so that we can work on improving and reducing the time it takes to load the game client</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2><span class="bedrock-server">Server.Properties</span></h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>File is now read in UTF-8 initially, with the previous encoding (ISO 8859-1/Latin 1) as a fallback</li>
<li>File is now written with UTF-8 encoding</li>
</ul>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<h2>SymbolicC Link Validation</h2>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<p>To improve safety, the game will now detect symbolic links used inside the world directory. For a detailed explanation, check our <a href="https://aka.ms/MinecraftSymLinks">help article</a>.</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>If the target of a symbolic link is not on the user-configured allow-list, the game will not proceed with loading the world
<ul>
<li>Note: the world directory itself can still be linked</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The list of allowed symbolic link targets is stored in the file <span class="bedrock-server">allowed_symlinks.txt</span> in the client or server top directory</li>
<li>The file consists of entries (one per line) with the following formats allowed:
<ul>
<li>Lines starting with <span class="bedrock-server">#</span> are comments and are ignored</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">[type]pattern</span>, where <span class="bedrock-server">type</span> can be a <span class="bedrock-server">glob</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">regex,</span> or <span class="bedrock-server">prefix</span>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">prefix</span> matches the start of the path with the given pattern (so for <span class="bedrock-server">/test</span> paths <span class="bedrock-server">/test</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">/test/</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">/test/foo.txt</span> would match)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">regex</span> matches regular expression against the whole path</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">glob</span> uses an OS-specific path-matching mechanism (for example <span class="bedrock-server">*.txt</span> would usually match files with a <span class="bedrock-server">txt</span> extension)</li>
<li>Note: paths will use OS-specific separators</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">pattern</span>, which uses the default <span class="bedrock-server">prefix</span> type</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p>A malicious user has created several accounts and uploaded projects containing malware to the platform.</p>
<p>Separately a user belonging to Luna Pixel Studios (LPS) was hacked and was used to upload similar malware.</p>
<p>CurseForge has banned all accounts relevant to this and disabled the LPS one as well. They are in direct contact with the LPS team to help them restore their access.</p>

<p>The latest changelog for the recently released Beta & Preview 1.19.80.21.</p>
<h3><strong>Experimental Features</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Armor Trims</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table</li>
<li>Armor Trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits, and can only be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
<ul>
<li>All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material</li>
<li>To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Template:
<ul>
<li>Pillager Outpost
<ul>
<li>Sentry Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Desert Pyramid
<ul>
<li>Dune Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Shipwreck
<ul>
<li>Coast Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Jungle Temple
<ul>
<li>Wild Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Ocean Monument
<ul>
<li>Tide Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Ancient City
<ul>
<li>Ward Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Woodland Mansion
<ul>
<li>Vex Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Nether Fortress
<ul>
<li>Rib Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Bastion Remnant
<ul>
<li>Snout Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Stronghold
<ul>
<li>Eye Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>End City
<ul>
<li>Spire Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are found in Chests in their respective structure, except for the Ocean Monument. Instead of finding it in Chests, Elder Guardians sometimes drop a Smithing Template when defeated</li>
<li>Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!</li>
<li>An Armor Trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
<ul>
<li>The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim</li>
<li>The material is defined by what ingredient you used to apply the trim and represents the color of the trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your Armor Trim are the following:
<ul>
<li>Iron</li>
<li>Copper</li>
<li>Gold</li>
<li>Lapis</li>
<li>Emerald</li>
<li>Diamond</li>
<li>Netherite</li>
<li>Redstone</li>
<li>Amethyst</li>
<li>Quartz</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Blocks</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The Piglin Head Block’s ears now flap when the wearer is Riding a vehicle</li>
<li>Cherry Stripped Wood can now be crafted from Cherry Stripped Log (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-168053">MCPE-168053</a>)</li>
<li>Updated Cherry Leaves & Cherry Sign textures (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-168059">MCPE-168059</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Archaeology feature set:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Added the Suspicious Gravel block</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Mobs</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Frogs born in the Cherry Grove biome are now the temperate variant instead of the cold variant (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-168083">MCPE-168083</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Netherite Equipment</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>This change was made for a variety of reasons:
<ul>
<li>Increases the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite</li>
<li>Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression</li>
<li>Adapts Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Smithing Templates</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications</li>
<li>Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Templates</li>
<li>Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to the equipment
<ul>
<li>It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade</li>
<li>There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Features and Bug Fixes</strong></h3>

<h3>Damage Types</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><em><code>{ "exhaustion": 0.1, "message_id": "arrow", "scaling": "when_caused_by_living_non_player"
}
</code></em></pre>
<p><strong>Fields:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">message_id</span>: The message id used for deaths caused by this damage type
<ul>
<li>Will be combined with other string fragments to form a translation key</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">exhaustion</span>: The amount of hunger exhaustion caused by this damage type</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">scaling</span>: Whether this damage type scales with difficulty levels. Possible values:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">never</span>: Damage is always the same</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">always</span>: Damage always scales with difficulty</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">when_caused_by_living_non_player</span>: Damage scales with difficulty if it was caused by a living entity who is not a player</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">effects</span>: Optional field controlling how damage manifests when inflicted on players. Possible values:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">hurt</span> (default): the default hurt sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">thorns</span>: Thorns hurt sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">drowning</span>: Drowning sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">burning</span>: A single tick of burning sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">poking</span>: Berry bush poke sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">freezing</span>: Freeze tick sound</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">death_message_type</span>: Optional field that controls if special death message variants are used. Possible values:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">default</span> (default): No special death message logic is applied</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">fall_variants</span>: Show a variant of fall damage death instead of a regular death message, e.g. <span class="bedrock-server">death.fell.assist.item</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">intentional_game_design</span>: Show the intentional game design message instead of a regular death message</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Damage type tags control many aspects of how damage from different sources is interpreted.</p>
<h3>Predicates</h3>
<h4>Damage Type Predicates</h4>
<p>The following fields have been removed from damage type predicates: <span class="bedrock-server">is_projectile</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">is_explosion</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">bypasses_armor</span>,<span class="bedrock-server">bypasses_invulnerability</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">bypasses_magic</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">is_fire</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">is_magic</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">is_lightning</span>.</p>
<p>A new <span class="bedrock-server">tags</span> array has been added, with the predicate matching if all entries match. Each entry has two fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">id</span>: The ID of a damage type tag</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">expected</span>: Whether the damage is expected to have or not have the tag for the predicate to match</li>
</ul>
<h3>Game Rules</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">commandModificationBlockLimit</span>, controlling the maximum number of blocks changed in one execution of <span class="bedrock-server">clone</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">fill</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">fillbiome</span></li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">doVinesSpread</span> game rule, determining if vines will spread to nearby blocks
<ul>
<li>Defaults to <span class="bedrock-server">true</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Text Components</h3>
<p>Added an optional <span class="bedrock-server">fallback</span> field to <span class="bedrock-server">translate</span> text components.</p>
<ul>
<li>The new field is a string that will be used in place of translation if it is missing</li>
<li>If <span class="bedrock-server">fallback</span> is missing, the old behavior (i.e. using the key itself as the translation) is preserved</li>
</ul>
<h3>Display Entities</h3>
<p>Three new entities have been added for flexible display of items, blocks, and text</p>
<ul>
<li>Those entities, similarily to <span class="bedrock-server">markers</span>, don’t tick and have no collisions or physics</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
<h4>Common Data Types</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Transformations</h4>
<p>Arbitrary affine transform.</p>
<ul>
<li>Matrix form: array of 16 numbers, describing row-major matrix</li>
<li>Decomposed form (used for saving): object with following fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">translation</span> – 3d vector</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">left_rotation</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">right_rotation</span> – <span class="bedrock-server">rotation</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">scale</span> – 3d vector</li>
<li>Transforms are composed in order <span class="bedrock-server">translation</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">left_rotation</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">scale</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">right_rotation</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Rotations</h4>
<ul>
<li>Quaternion form (used for saving): array of 4 numbers, describing components (x, y, z, w)</li>
<li>Axis-angle form: object with following fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">axis</span> – unit 3d vector</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">angle</span> – in radians</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Interpolation</h4>
<p>Some properties of display entities can be interpolated. That means that clients will see gradual changes over time instead of instantaneous jumps.</p>
<p>Display entities keep track of current and previous values of interpolated values:</p>
<ul>
<li>All properties marked as “interpolated” are part of a single interpolation set</li>
<li>Any update to interpolated property will cause all values of interpolation set to be saved as “current”
<ul>
<li>Data command executions that do not change value of property (even if it’s present in NBT) do not count as updates</li>
<li>Updates are synchronized to clients at most once per tick, so multiple updates within command will still count as a single update</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The last values generated before an update are saved as “previous”</li>
<li>If interpolation is enabled, the entity will transition between “previous” and “current” values over <span class="bedrock-server">interpolation_duration</span> ticks</li>
<li>Interpolation can be started by writing to the <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span> field (this field is not normally present in NBT)
<ul>
<li>The value in this field is a delay in ticks between client receiving the update and interpolation start</li>
<li>A value of <span class="bedrock-server">0</span> ticks means that interpolation will start in next client tick after receiving the update</li>
<li>Positive values increase this delay further</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Interpolation will end (entity fully in “current” state) in <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span> + <span class="bedrock-server">interpolation_duration</span> ticks after receiving the update</li>
<li>The interpolation target can be updated without setting <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span>, but it will still behave as if it was started at the moment of the last update to <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span>
<ul>
<li>That means that if the value is updated, but more than <span class="bedrock-server">interpolation_duration</span> ticks have passed since last <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span> update, the entity will immediately jump to new values</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<li><span class="bedrock-server">execute on target</span>: execute as the last player who interacted with the entity</li>
</ul>
<h3>Tags</h3>
<h4>Block Behavior</h4>
<ul>
<li>Fire burns out faster in certain biomes, and this is now controlled by the <span class="bedrock-server">increased_fire_burnout</span> biome tag</li>
</ul>
<h4>Mob Spawning</h4>
<ul>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">only_allows_snow_and_gold_rabbits</span> biome tag has been renamed to <span class="bedrock-server">spawns_gold_rabbits</span> to match its behavior</li>
<li>White Rabbit variants are now controlled by the <span class="bedrock-server">spawns_white_rabbits</span> biome tag</li>
<li>Fox variants are now controlled by the <span class="bedrock-server">spawns_snow_foxes</span> biome tag</li>
</ul>
<h4>Mob Behavior</h4>
<ul>
<li>Snow Golems melting in warm biomes is now controlled by the <span class="bedrock-server">snow_golem_melts</span> biome tag</li>
<li>Only mobs in the <span class="bedrock-server">dismounts_underwater</span> entity tag will now force the rider to dismount when underwater</li>
</ul>
<h3>Network Protocol</h3>
<ul>
<li>Clients now reset their Secure Chat session state when receiving the login packet</li>
</ul>
<h4>Packet Bundles</h4>
<ul>
<li>Added new delimiter packet to clientbound game protocol</li>
<li>All packets between two delimiters are guaranteed to be processed within the same tick</li>
<li>For security reasons this feature is not supported in the serverbound direction</li>
</ul>
<h3>Paletted Permutations</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">paletted_permutations</span> is a new type of atlas configuration source used to dynamically generate new textures in memory based on a set of color palettes</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">paletted_permutations</span> source has a set of required parameters:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">textures</span> A list of namespaced locations of base textures
<ul>
<li>These textures will be used to generate variants of them that have been modified by color palettes</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">palette_key</span> A namespaced location of a color palette key file
<ul>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">permutations</span> A map of permutations from suffix to a namespaced location of a color palette file
<ul>
<li>The suffix is appended at the beginning to the resource location of the output variant textures, with a <span class="bedrock-server">_</span> character separating the suffix and the base texture name</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>The number of pixels in each color palette must be the same as that of the <span class="bedrock-server">palette_key</span> defined for this source</li>
<li>Key matching is done by comparing the RGB values of each pixel in the <span class="bedrock-server">palette_key</span> to the RGB values of each pixel in the color palette</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>Pixels that do not match the <span class="bedrock-server">palette_key</span> are copied over to the resulting texture as-is</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After defining a <span class="bedrock-server">paletted_permutations</span> source, you can then reference those namespaced output textures in other resources in your resource pack</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, if you have the following <span class="bedrock-server">paletted_permutations</span> source:</p>
<pre><code><em>{ "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" }
}
</em></code></pre>
<p>You can then reference the resulting textures in other resources like this:</p>
<pre><code><em>{ "textures": { "layer0": "minecraft:item/leather_helmet_red", "layer1": "minecraft:item/leather_chestplate_green", "layer2": "minecraft:item/leather_boots_blue" }
}</em></code></pre>
<h3>Trim Patterns & Maternals</h3>
<ul>
<li>Trim patterns and materials for armor are defined by the server through the <span class="bedrock-server">trim_pattern</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">trim_material</span> registry respectively
<ul>
<li>As a result, new trim patterns and materials can be added via data packs</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>These are synchronized to clients when they join the server
<ul>
<li>However, clients must have an accompanying resource pack to see those registered trim patterns and materials</li>
<li>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 <span class="bedrock-server">name</span> field</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The following data is defined by a trim pattern:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">asset_id</span> which is a namespaced id used to infer texture locations and localization</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">template_item</span> which is the id of the smithing template item used to apply the trim pattern</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">description</span> which is a text component used for displaying the pattern name of an armor trim when hovering an armor itemstack</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The following data is defined by a trim material:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">asset_name</span> which is a string used as a suffix for armor trim texture locations</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">ingredient</span> which is the id of the ingredient item used to apply the trim material</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">item_model_index</span> which is a float which defines the item model override each armor item model should target to change their visuals for this material</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">override_armor_materials</span> which is an optional map of armor material to overridden color palette
<ul>
<li>Map key is the armor material that this trim material wants to override with a different color palette</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">description</span> which is a text component used for displaying the material name of an armor trim when hovering an armor item stack
<ul>
<li>The style defined in this description is applied to the armor trim pattern <span class="bedrock-server">description</span> as well</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Experimental Features</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li>Added Smithing Template items</li>
<li>Redesigned the Smithing Table</li>
<li>Changed how Netherite equipment is crafted</li>
<li>Added a new armor trimming system to visually customize your armor</li>
<li>Added Sniffer mob and Torchflowers</li>
<li>Added the Cherry Grove biome</li>

<h4>Smithing Templates</h4>
<ul>
<li>Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications</li>
<li>Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Templates</li>
<li>Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to equipment
<ul>
<li>It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade</li>
<li>There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
<h4>Netherite Equipment</h4>
<ul>
<li>Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>This change was made for a variety of reasons:
<ul>
<li>Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite</li>
<li>Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression</li>
<li>Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Armor Trims</h4>
<ul>
<li>You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table</li>
<li>Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits, and can only be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
<ul>
<li>All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material</li>
<li>To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Template:
<ul>
<li>Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim</li>
<li>Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim</li>

<li>Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim</li>
<li>Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim</li>
<li>Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim</li>
<li>Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim</li>
<li>End City: Spire Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
<ul>
<li>The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!</li>
<li>An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
<ul>
<li>The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim</li>
<li>The material is defined by what ingredient you used to apply the trim and represents the color of the trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
<ul>
<li>Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<li>Sniffers can be bred by feeding them Torchflower Seeds</li>
<li>The Sniffer is currently only available as a Spawn Egg in the creative inventory</li>
</ul>
<h4>Torchflowers</h4>
<ul>
<li>The Torchflower seed can be planted on farmland and grows into a flower</li>

<li>Cherry Leaves have pink particles falling underneath</li>
<li>Added a new Pink Petals block with lots of pink flowers on the ground
<ul>
<li>Each pink petal block can contain up to 4 petals</li>
<li>Using bone meal on it increases the number of petals</li>
<li>Placing a petal on a block increases the number of petals</li>
<li>Mining the block gives you the number of petals in the block</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Archaeology</h3>
<h4>The Brush</h4>
<ul>
<li>The brush is a craftable item you can use to brush things</li>
</ul>
<h4>Suspicious Sand</h4>
<ul>
<li>Can be found in Desert Temples and Desert Wells</li>

<h3>Damage Types</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><em><code>{ "exhaustion": 0.1, "message_id": "arrow", "scaling": "when_caused_by_living_non_player"
}
</code></em></pre>
<p><strong>Fields:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">message_id</span>: The message id used for deaths caused by this damage type
<ul>
<li>Will be combined with other string fragments to form a translation key</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">exhaustion</span>: The amount of hunger exhaustion caused by this damage type</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">scaling</span>: Whether this damage type scales with difficulty levels. Possible values:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">never</span>: Damage is always the same</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">always</span>: Damage always scales with difficulty</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">when_caused_by_living_non_player</span>: Damage scales with difficulty if it was caused by a living entity who is not a player</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">effects</span>: Optional field controlling how damage manifests when inflicted on players. Possible values:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">hurt</span> (default): the default hurt sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">thorns</span>: Thorns hurt sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">drowning</span>: Drowning sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">burning</span>: A single tick of burning sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">poking</span>: Berry bush poke sound</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">freezing</span>: Freeze tick sound</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">death_message_type</span>: Optional field that controls if special death message variants are used. Possible values:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">default</span> (default): No special death message logic is applied</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">fall_variants</span>: Show a variant of fall damage death instead of a regular death message, e.g. <span class="bedrock-server">death.fell.assist.item</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">intentional_game_design</span>: Show the intentional game design message instead of a regular death message</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Damage type tags control many aspects of how damage from different sources is interpreted.</p>
<h3>Predicates</h3>
<h4>Damage Type Predicates</h4>
<p>The following fields have been removed from damage type predicates: <span class="bedrock-server">is_projectile</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">is_explosion</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">bypasses_armor</span>,<span class="bedrock-server">bypasses_invulnerability</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">bypasses_magic</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">is_fire</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">is_magic</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">is_lightning</span>.</p>
<p>A new <span class="bedrock-server">tags</span> array has been added, with the predicate matching if all entries match. Each entry has two fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">id</span>: The ID of a damage type tag</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">expected</span>: Whether the damage is expected to have or not have the tag for the predicate to match</li>
</ul>
<h3>Game Rules</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">commandModificationBlockLimit</span>, controlling the maximum number of blocks changed in one execution of <span class="bedrock-server">clone</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">fill</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">fillbiome</span></li>
<li>Added <span class="bedrock-server">doVinesSpread</span> game rule, determining if vines will spread to nearby blocks
<ul>
<li>Defaults to <span class="bedrock-server">true</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Text Components</h3>
<p>Added an optional <span class="bedrock-server">fallback</span> field to <span class="bedrock-server">translate</span> text components.</p>
<ul>
<li>The new field is a string that will be used in place of translation if it is missing</li>
<li>If <span class="bedrock-server">fallback</span> is missing, the old behavior (i.e. using the key itself as the translation) is preserved</li>
</ul>
<h3>Display Entities</h3>
<p>Three new entities have been added for flexible display of items, blocks, and text</p>
<ul>
<li>Those entities, similarily to <span class="bedrock-server">markers</span>, don’t tick and have no collisions or physics</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
<h4>Common Data Types</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Transformations</h4>
<p>Arbitrary affine transform.</p>
<ul>
<li>Matrix form: array of 16 numbers, describing row-major matrix</li>
<li>Decomposed form (used for saving): object with following fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">translation</span> – 3d vector</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">left_rotation</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">right_rotation</span> – <span class="bedrock-server">rotation</span></li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">scale</span> – 3d vector</li>
<li>Transforms are composed in order <span class="bedrock-server">translation</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">left_rotation</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">scale</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">right_rotation</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Rotations</h4>
<ul>
<li>Quaternion form (used for saving): array of 4 numbers, describing components (x, y, z, w)</li>
<li>Axis-angle form: object with following fields:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">axis</span> – unit 3d vector</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">angle</span> – in radians</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Interpolation</h4>
<p>Some properties of display entities can be interpolated. That means that clients will see gradual changes over time instead of instantaneous jumps.</p>
<p>Display entities keep track of current and previous values of interpolated values:</p>
<ul>
<li>All properties marked as “interpolated” are part of a single interpolation set</li>
<li>Any update to interpolated property will cause all values of interpolation set to be saved as “current”
<ul>
<li>Data command executions that do not change value of property (even if it’s present in NBT) do not count as updates</li>
<li>Updates are synchronized to clients at most once per tick, so multiple updates within command will still count as a single update</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The last values generated before an update are saved as “previous”</li>
<li>If interpolation is enabled, the entity will transition between “previous” and “current” values over <span class="bedrock-server">interpolation_duration</span> ticks</li>
<li>Interpolation can be started by writing to the <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span> field (this field is not normally present in NBT)
<ul>
<li>The value in this field is a delay in ticks between client receiving the update and interpolation start</li>
<li>A value of <span class="bedrock-server">0</span> ticks means that interpolation will start in next client tick after receiving the update</li>
<li>Positive values increase this delay further</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Interpolation will end (entity fully in “current” state) in <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span> + <span class="bedrock-server">interpolation_duration</span> ticks after receiving the update</li>
<li>The interpolation target can be updated without setting <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span>, but it will still behave as if it was started at the moment of the last update to <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span>
<ul>
<li>That means that if the value is updated, but more than <span class="bedrock-server">interpolation_duration</span> ticks have passed since last <span class="bedrock-server">start_interpolation</span> update, the entity will immediately jump to new values</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Common Properties</h4>
<p>All display entity types have the following fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">transformation</span> – the transformation applied to model (after normal entity orientation). Defaults to identity. Interpolated</li>

</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">view_range</span> – 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)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">shadow_radius</span> – size of shadow. Defaults to 0 (no shadow). Interpolated</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">shadow_strength</span> – strength of the shadow. Controls the opacity of the shadow as a function of distance to block below. Defaults to 1. Interpolated</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">width</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">height</span> – describe size of culling bounding box
<ul>

<ul>
<li>Values: <span class="bedrock-server">center</span> (default), <span class="bedrock-server">left</span>, <span class="bedrock-server">right</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Note: text display backgrounds uses new shader types <span class="bedrock-server">rendertype_text_background</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">rendertype_text_background_see_through</span>.</p>
<h3>Interaction Entities</h3>
<p>A new type of entity that records attacks (“left clicks”) and interactions (“right clicks”). Interactions are invisible and of a custom size.</p>
<p>Fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">width</span>: Width of the entity’s bounding box (default <span class="bedrock-server">1</span>)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">height</span>: Height of the entity’s bounding box (default <span class="bedrock-server">1</span>)</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">attack</span>: Records the last attack action on the entity</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">interaction</span>: Records the last interaction action on the entity</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">response</span>: Boolean specifying if interacting should trigger a response (arm swing, sound effects, etc – default <span class="bedrock-server">false</span>)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Action Format</h4>
<p>When an action is stored, it always has two fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">player</span>: The UUID (in standard integer array format) of the player performing the action</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">timestamp</span>: The timestamp of the game tick when the event happened (stored as a long)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Advancement Triggers</h4>
<ul>
<li>Interacting with an Interaction entity triggers <span class="bedrock-server">player_interacted_with_entity</span></li>
<li>Attacking an Interaction entity triggers <span class="bedrock-server">player_hurt_entity</span></li>
</ul>
<h4><span class="bedrock-server">Execute On</span> With Interactions</h4>
<p>The Interaction entity targets the player who last interacted with it. That makes the following possible:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">execute on attacker</span>: execute as the last player who attacked the entity</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">execute on target</span>: execute as the last player who interacted with the entity</li>
</ul>
<h3>Tags</h3>
<h4>Block Behavior</h4>
<ul>
<li>Fire burns out faster in certain biomes, and this is now controlled by the <span class="bedrock-server">increased_fire_burnout</span> biome tag</li>
</ul>
<h4>Mob Spawning</h4>
<ul>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">only_allows_snow_and_gold_rabbits</span> biome tag has been renamed to <span class="bedrock-server">spawns_gold_rabbits</span> to match its behavior</li>
<li>White Rabbit variants are now controlled by the <span class="bedrock-server">spawns_white_rabbits</span> biome tag</li>
<li>Fox variants are now controlled by the <span class="bedrock-server">spawns_snow_foxes</span> biome tag</li>
</ul>
<h4>Mob Behavior</h4>
<ul>
<li>Snow Golems melting in warm biomes is now controlled by the <span class="bedrock-server">snow_golem_melts</span> biome tag</li>
<li>Only mobs in the <span class="bedrock-server">dismounts_underwater</span> entity tag will now force the rider to dismount when underwater</li>
</ul>
<h3>Network Protocol</h3>
<ul>
<li>Clients now reset their Secure Chat session state when receiving the login packet</li>
</ul>
<h4>Packet Bundles</h4>
<ul>
<li>Added new delimiter packet to clientbound game protocol</li>
<li>All packets between two delimiters are guaranteed to be processed within the same tick</li>
<li>For security reasons this feature is not supported in the serverbound direction</li>
</ul>
<h3>Paletted Permutations</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">paletted_permutations</span> is a new type of atlas configuration source used to dynamically generate new textures in memory based on a set of color palettes</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>The <span class="bedrock-server">paletted_permutations</span> source has a set of required parameters:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">textures</span> A list of namespaced locations of base textures
<ul>
<li>These textures will be used to generate variants of them that have been modified by color palettes</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">palette_key</span> A namespaced location of a color palette key file
<ul>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">permutations</span> A map of permutations from suffix to a namespaced location of a color palette file
<ul>
<li>The suffix is appended at the beginning to the resource location of the output variant textures, with a <span class="bedrock-server">_</span> character separating the suffix and the base texture name</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>The number of pixels in each color palette must be the same as that of the <span class="bedrock-server">palette_key</span> defined for this source</li>
<li>Key matching is done by comparing the RGB values of each pixel in the <span class="bedrock-server">palette_key</span> to the RGB values of each pixel in the color palette</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>Pixels that do not match the <span class="bedrock-server">palette_key</span> are copied over to the resulting texture as-is</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After defining a <span class="bedrock-server">paletted_permutations</span> source, you can then reference those namespaced output textures in other resources in your resource pack</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, if you have the following <span class="bedrock-server">paletted_permutations</span> source:</p>
<pre><code><em>{ "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" }
}
</em></code></pre>
<p>You can then reference the resulting textures in other resources like this:</p>
<pre><code><em>{ "textures": { "layer0": "minecraft:item/leather_helmet_red", "layer1": "minecraft:item/leather_chestplate_green", "layer2": "minecraft:item/leather_boots_blue" }
}</em></code></pre>
<h3>Trim Patterns & Maternals</h3>
<ul>
<li>Trim patterns and materials for armor are defined by the server through the <span class="bedrock-server">trim_pattern</span> and <span class="bedrock-server">trim_material</span> registry respectively
<ul>
<li>As a result, new trim patterns and materials can be added via data packs</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>These are synchronized to clients when they join the server
<ul>
<li>However, clients must have an accompanying resource pack to see those registered trim patterns and materials</li>
<li>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 <span class="bedrock-server">name</span> field</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The following data is defined by a trim pattern:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">asset_id</span> which is a namespaced id used to infer texture locations and localization</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">template_item</span> which is the id of the smithing template item used to apply the trim pattern</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">description</span> which is a text component used for displaying the pattern name of an armor trim when hovering an armor itemstack</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The following data is defined by a trim material:
<ul>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">asset_name</span> which is a string used as a suffix for armor trim texture locations</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">ingredient</span> which is the id of the ingredient item used to apply the trim material</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">item_model_index</span> which is a float which defines the item model override each armor item model should target to change their visuals for this material</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">override_armor_materials</span> which is an optional map of armor material to overridden color palette
<ul>
<li>Map key is the armor material that this trim material wants to override with a different color palette</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span class="bedrock-server">description</span> which is a text component used for displaying the material name of an armor trim when hovering an armor item stack
<ul>
<li>The style defined in this description is applied to the armor trim pattern <span class="bedrock-server">description</span> as well</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Experimental Features</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li>Added Smithing Template items</li>
<li>Redesigned the Smithing Table</li>
<li>Changed how Netherite equipment is crafted</li>
<li>Added a new armor trimming system to visually customize your armor</li>
<li>Added Sniffer mob and Torchflowers</li>
<li>Added the Cherry Grove biome</li>
<li>Added Archaeology</li>
<li>Mob Heads can now be placed on top of Note Blocks without sneaking</li>
</ul>
<h4>Smithing Templates</h4>
<ul>
<li>Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications</li>
<li>Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Templates</li>
<li>Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to equipment
<ul>
<li>It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade</li>
<li>There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
<h4>Netherite Equipment</h4>
<ul>
<li>Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>This change was made for a variety of reasons:
<ul>
<li>Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite</li>
<li>Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression</li>
<li>Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Armor Trims</h4>
<ul>
<li>You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table</li>
<li>Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits, and can only be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
<ul>
<li>All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material</li>
<li>To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Template:
<ul>
<li>Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim</li>
<li>Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim</li>
<li>Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim</li>
<li>Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim</li>
<li>Ocean Monument: Tide Armor Trim</li>
<li>Ancient City: Ward Armor Trim</li>
<li>Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim</li>
<li>Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim</li>
<li>Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim</li>
<li>Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim</li>
<li>End City: Spire Armor Trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
<ul>
<li>The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!</li>
<li>An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
<ul>
<li>The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim</li>
<li>The material is defined by what ingredient you used to apply the trim and represents the color of the trim</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
<ul>
<li>Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<li>Sniffers can be bred by feeding them Torchflower Seeds</li>
<li>The Sniffer is currently only available as a Spawn Egg in the creative inventory</li>
</ul>
<h4>Torchflowers</h4>
<ul>
<li>The Torchflower seed can be planted on farmland and grows into a flower</li>
<li>The seed can be used to breed two Sniffers</li>
<li>The full-grown flower can be harvested and replanted but can also be crafted into a dye</li>
</ul>
<h4>Cherry Groves</h4>
<ul>
<li>Added a new Cherry Grove biome, with pretty cherry blossom trees
<ul>
<li>The biome can be found in the mountains, in similar places as Meadows</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added a new Cherry wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can make from it</li>
<li>Cherry Leaves have pink particles falling underneath</li>
<li>Added a new Pink Petals block with lots of pink flowers on the ground
<ul>
<li>Each pink petal block can contain up to 4 petals</li>
<li>Using bone meal on it increases the number of petals</li>
<li>Placing a petal on a block increases the number of petals</li>
<li>Mining the block gives you the number of petals in the block</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Archaeology</h3>
<h4>The Brush</h4>
<ul>
<li>The brush is a craftable item you can use to brush things</li>

<ul>
<li>Updated Add-On templates for 1.19.70 with new resources, behaviors, and documentation are available to download at <a href="https://aka.ms/MCAddonPacks" target="_self" rel="noopener">aka.ms/MCAddonPacks</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>General</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Behavior packs with scripts can now be removed from worlds</li>
<li>Item loot table conditions are no longer ignored in-game when used inside functions (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-164582" target="_self" rel="noopener">MCPE-164582</a>)</li>
<li>Carrots now display the proper name in item tooltips when used in can_place_on and can_destroy item components (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-160838" target="_self" rel="noopener">MCPE-160838</a>)</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>Crafting Table component no longer appends “tile.” when defaulting to use block name for crafting table label</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Wool Blocks</strong></p>
<p>Wool has been flattened into separate blocks, namely:</p>
<ul>
<li>white_wool</li>
<li>orange_wool</li>
<li>magenta_wool</li>
<li>light_blue_wool</li>
<li>yellow_wool</li>
<li>lime_wool</li>

<li>black_wool</li>
</ul>
<p>Commands, recipes, loot tables, etc. will still work with <em>wool</em> and an aux value or color state, but <em>wool</em> will not be suggested in the command prompt. Instead, the new wool block names will.</p>
<p><strong>Commands</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed a crash with deferred command execution when the executing actor is removed before execution (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-165374" target="_self" rel="noopener">MCPE-165374</a>)</li>
<li>Summon command no longer causes some entities to be spawned at an angle</li>
<li>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
<ul>
<li>Here are some additional examples[JW1] [JW2] [JW3] :
<ul>
<li>/setblock ~~~ green_wool [] [] is equivalent to the old 0</li>
<li>/setblock ~~~ wood [“wood_type”: “oak”]</li>
<li>/setblock ~~~ coral [“dead_bit” : true , “coral_color” : “blue” ]</li>
<li>/setblock ~~~ coral_fan [“coral_fan_direction” : 1, “coral_color” : “pink”]</li>
<li>/setblock ~~~ wool [“color”: “blue”]</li>
<li>/fill ~ ~ ~ ~5 ~5 ~5 gold_block [] replace air</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>More information about commands can be found at learn.microsoft.com/minecraft/creator/commands</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Previous behavior works as expected on versions less than 1.19.70</li>
</ul>

We’ve also added utility methods that make interacting with permutations easier, which includes the removal of the <em>XBlockProperty</em> classes and now directly return properties <em>(boolean | number | string)</em> or a while collection of properties<em> ( Record<string, boolean | number | string>)</em></p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p><strong>Before:</strong></p>
<pre><em>const blockPermutation = MinecraftBlockTypes.stoneSlab.createDefaultBlockPermutation();<br></em></pre>
<pre><em>blockPermutation.getProperty(MinecraftBlockProperties.stoneSlabType).value = 'stone_brick';</em></pre>
<pre><em>blockPermutation.getProperty(MinecraftBlockProperties.topSlotBit).value = true;</em></pre>
<p><strong>Now:</strong></p>
<pre><em>const blockPermutation = BlockPermutation.resolve('minecraft:stone_slab', {<br></em></pre>
<pre><em>stone_slab_type: 'stone_brick',</em></pre>
<pre><em>top_slot_bit: true,<br></em></pre>
<pre><em>});</em></pre>
<p><strong>BlockProperties</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Added a new class to expose <em>BlockPropertyType</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>BlockPropertyType</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Data-Driven Custom Blocks</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Released block properties and permutations out of experimental in JSON formats 1.19.70 and higher</li>
<li>Added a content warning when loading the world with more than 65536 custom block permutations. Custom block permutation counts are logged in debug log</li>
</ul>

<h3><span class="wysiwyg-font-size-x-large"><strong>Experimental Features</strong></span></h3>
<p><strong>Archaeology</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Added the Brush item</li>
<li>Added the Decorated Pot block</li>
<li>Added four Pottery Shards (Arms Up, Skull, Prize, and Archer)</li>
<li>Added the Suspicious Sand block</li>
<li>Added Suspicious Sand to the Desert Temple</li>
<li>Added Suspicious Sand to the Desert Well</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Brush</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The Brush is a craftable item you can use to brush things</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Pottery Shards and Decorated Pots</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Suspicious Sand</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Desert Temples and Desert Wells now contain Suspicious Sand. This fragile block is hard to spot and easy to destroy, so be careful!</li>
<li>If you manage to find the Suspicious Sand and brush it with your Brush, you will extract objects that were buried long ago.</li>
<li>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!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Sniffer</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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</li>
<li>Sniffers cannot be tempted or tamed</li>
<li>Sniffers are passive friendly mobs</li>
<li>Sniffer sniffs in the air and occasionally digs for seeds</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Torchflower</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The Torchflower seed can be planted on farmland and grows into a flower</li>
<li>The seed can be used to breed two Sniffers</li>
<li>The full-grown flower can be harvested and replanted but can also be crafted into a dye</li>

</ul>
<p><strong>BlockPermutation</strong></p>
<p>BlockPermutation has been significantly refactored! Every BlockPermutation now share a unique JavaScript handle so exact equality (<code>===</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 <em>XBlockProperty</em> classes and now directly return properties <em>(boolean | number | string)</em> or a while collection of properties<em> ( Record<string, boolean | number | string>)</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Added method matches(blockName: string, properties?: BlockProperties): boolean which is used to match a block with optional states against a BlockPermutation</li>
<li>Added method <em>withProperty(name: string, value: boolean | number | string): BlockPermutation</em>; 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</li>
<li>Added function <em>static resolve(blockName: string, properties?: BlockProperties): BlockPermutation </em>which resolves a BlockPermutation from a block name and optional states. Throws if the provided data cannot be resolved as a valid block permutation</li>
<li>Updated methods <em>getProperty </em>and <em>getAllProperties</em> to return values directly instead of wrapped into class objects. Example code:</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Before:</strong></p>
<pre><em>const blockPermutation = MinecraftBlockTypes.stoneSlab.createDefaultBlockPermutation();<br></em></pre>
<pre><em>blockPermutation.getProperty(MinecraftBlockProperties.stoneSlabType).value = 'stone_brick';</em></pre>
<pre><em>blockPermutation.getProperty(MinecraftBlockProperties.topSlotBit).value = true;</em></pre>
<p><strong>Now:</strong></p>
<pre><em>const blockPermutation = BlockPermutation.resolve('minecraft:stone_slab', {<br></em></pre>
<pre><em>stone_slab_type: 'stone_brick',</em></pre>
<pre><em>top_slot_bit: true,<br></em></pre>
<pre><em>});</em></pre>
<p><strong>BlockProperties</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Added a new class to expose <em>BlockPropertyType</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>BlockPropertyType</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Data-Driven Custom Blocks</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Released block properties and permutations out of experimental in JSON formats 1.19.70 and higher</li>
<li>Added a content warning when loading the world with more than 65536 custom block permutations. Custom block permutation counts are logged in debug log</li>
</ul>

<p>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.</p>
<h3><b>Experimental Features</b></h3>
<h4><b>Cherry Grove</b></h4>

<ul>
<li>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!</li>

<li>Fixed an issue that caused the item inside Suspicious Sand to flicker while brushing (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-167180">MCPE-167180</a>)</li>
<li>Additionally, blocks that were previously not emitting particles when destroyed by pistons now do! (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-109293">MCPE-109293</a>, <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-126257">MCPE-126257</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h4><b>Camel</b></h4>
<ul>
<li>Camels now stop dashing when entering a rideable entity (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-164065">MCPE-164065</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h4><b>1.5 Sneak</b></h4>
<ul>
<li>The ability to sneak under 1.5 block gaps is now behind the Short Sneak toggle. Enable the toggle to continue to test out the feature while we continue polishing it</li>
</ul>
<h3><b>Features and Bug Fixes</b></h3>

<p>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.</p>
<h3><b>Experimental Features</b></h3>
<h4><b>Cherry Grove</b></h4>
<ul>
<li>Introducing the Cherry Grove biome, with pretty Cherry Blossom trees. You can find it in the mountains, like Meadows</li>
<li>It has a new flower, Pink Petals, as ground cover, which can be crafted into Pink Dye</li>
<li>Pigs, Rabbits, Sheep, and Bees spawn there</li>
<li>Comes with a new wood set for the Cherry Blossom trees</li>

<ul>
<li>Tweaked the Decorated Pot neck based on feedback (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-167168">MCPE-167168</a>)
<ul>
<li>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!</li>
</ul>

<li>Decorated Pot no longer provides support for blocks wanting to attach to its side faces (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-167165">MCPE-167165</a>)</li>

<li>Fixed an issue that caused the item inside Suspicious Sand to flicker while brushing (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-167180">MCPE-167180</a>)</li>
<li>Additionally, blocks that were previously not emitting particles when destroyed by pistons now do! (<a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-109293">MCPE-109293</a>, <a href="https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-126257">MCPE-126257</a>)</li>

<p>First, I’d like to announce, to those who are not aware already, the name of the 1.20 Minecraft update. <strong>Trails & Tales</strong>! Agnes explained in the Minecraft Monthly video released earlier today that this update is about worldbuilding, storytelling, and self-expression.

<p>First, I’d like to announce, to those who are not aware already, the name of the 1.20 Minecraft update. <strong>Trails & Tales</strong>! Agnes explained in the Minecraft Monthly video released earlier today that this update is about worldbuilding, storytelling, and self-expression. It seems very fitting since everyone’s journey in Minecraft is different and every one of us has stories and experiences to share.</p>

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 newConfig File it created: dynamicSigns.yml
Example:
Code:
'1':
Interval: 5.0
Range: 8
Personal: true
Lines:
- {#dfcd6f}Bread
- 'Price: {#24500f}50₿'
- {#1c39bb}Click to BUYThe 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/shopConfig File: interactiveCommands.yml
Code:
# Use [ic:[icname]] in first line of sign. Make sure to give permissions for cmi.interactivesign.* to user posting

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'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]](https://i.imgur.com/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.

Public: trueThere 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]](https://i.imgur.com/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]](https://i.imgur.com/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 newConfig File it created: dynamicSigns.yml
Example:
Code:
'1':
Interval: 5.0
Range: 8
Personal: true
Lines:
- {#dfcd6f}Bread
- 'Price: {#24500f}50₿'
- {#1c39bb}Click to BUYThe 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.

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.
- Open your Xbox settings and select the Network Settings option.

- Go to Advanced Settings and choose the DNS Settings option.
- Select Manual and you will be taken to a screen to manually enter your DNS settings

- 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.
- Go to your System Settings and scroll down to the Internet option
- Click on the Internet Settings option, choose your current network, and click on Change Settings
- Scroll down to the DNS Settings and change it to Manual
- For the Primary DNS enter:
Code:104.238.130.180 - For the Secondary enter either:
orCode:8.8.8.8
Code:1.1.1.1 - 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.
- Click on Play and go to the Servers tab
- Click on any of the pre-added servers on the list
![[Image: bedrock-server-list.png]](https://cdn.apexminecrafthosting.com/img/uploads/2021/09/07180631/bedrock-server-list.png)

- Enter the Address and Port of the server you want to join
- 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:
- Restart your console
- Restart your server
- Make sure both your game/console and the server are fully updated
- 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.
- Change your secondary DNS from
toCode:8.8.8.8
or vice versaCode:1.1.1.1
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 *iVestriCode:
/whitelist add iVestriLooking for a Bedrock/Java server to join?

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 *iVestriCode:
/whitelist add iVestriLooking for a Bedrock/Java server to join?
