Happy building!

New Features

• Added Calcite Blockset
• Added a new Music Disc with the track "Flurry" by Hyper Potions
• Added a new decorative block to the game... somewhere

Calcite

• Added the Calcite Block Set
  • Calcite now has a Pillar, Slab, Stair, and Wall variant
  • Calcite Pillars, Slabs, Stairs, and Walls can also be crafted using a Stonecutter
• Added the Polished Calcite Block Set
  • Polished Calcite can be crafted from 2x2 Calcite Blocks

  • Has a chance of being found in Igloo basement Chests
  • Has a comparator output of 7 when played in a Jukebox

Changes

• Updated the Main Menu background panorama

Minor Tweaks to Blocks, Items and Entities

• Being on fire now counters the Freezing Effect similar to wearing leather armor

• Strays now spawn in the following biomes:
  • Deep Frozen Ocean
  • Frozen Ocean
  • Frozen Peaks
  • Frozen River
  • Jagged Peaks
  • Snowy Slopes

"Graphics API" Video Setting

• "Default" will now randomly pick either OpenGL or Vulkan on each startup

Developer's Note: As we've been defaulting to Vulkan for this snapshot series, we have had little testing on the OpenGL backend. After some recent big changes to our rendering code, we want to temporarily test both backends. This will be reverted in a future snapshot.

Realms

• The "Play" buttons in the Realms menus are now purple

UI

• Hovering entries in lists, such as friends or worlds, now outlines the entry in gray
• Navigating to edit boxes now differs between keyboard and arrow key navigation

    • Pressing Enter or Space will make the box editable
• The mouse cursor is now hidden while navigating the UI with the keyboard, and reappears when the mouse is moved
• Added a tooltip to the recipe book button

Accessibility

• Gameplay screens, such as the Crafting Table, now support keyboard navigation and narration

Developer's Note: This is the first step towards making gameplay screens more accessible. As always, we'd love to hear your feedback, so please head on over to the feedback site.

Gameplay Screen Keyboard Navigation

• Gameplay screens can now be focused and used with the keyboard
• Tab moves between groups of slots, and the arrow keys move between slots within a group
  • The Stonecutter recipes, Loom patterns, Enchanting Table options, and Villager and Wandering Trader trades are also navigated as a group
• The following interactions can be used on slots:
  • Enter/Space behaves as a left-click
  • Holding Control while pressing Enter/Space behaves like a right-click
  • Holding Shift while pressing Enter/Space behaves like Shift-clicking
  • Double-pressing Enter/Space collects matching items, like double-clicking
  • Moving with the arrow keys while holding Enter/Space spreads the carried stack across slots, like holding left-click and dragging with the mouse
  • The hotbar keys and the Drop item key act on the focused slot
• The Creative Inventory and the Recipe Book are not yet supported

Gameplay Screen Narration

• The narrator now reads out slots in gameplay screens
  • Slots are narrated with their contents, item tooltip, and name for special slots such as armor, fuel, and potion slots
  • The slot's position is narrated (e.g. "3 out of 9") in a group or as a column and row in a grid
• Stonecutter recipes and Loom patterns are narrated with their column and row, and trades and Enchanting Table options with their position in the list

A Minecraft Java Snapshot

It's getting chilly in here! This week's 26.4 Snapshot 6 brings snow bricks, a new set of building blocks for anyone who wants their builds to look even cooler ;) We're also adding a new archetype to the Sulfur Cube family: the Cold Sulfur Cube. It's a frosty little friend that knows a thing or two about ice.

Stay cool and happy building!

New Features

• Added Snow Bricks
• Added new Cold Sulfur Cube archetype

Snow Bricks

• Snow Bricks can be crafted from 2x2 Snow Blocks
• Snow Bricks have a Slab, Stair, and Wall variant
• A Stonecutter cannot be used to craft Snow Brick Slabs, Stairs, and Walls
• Snow Bricks belong to the Fast Sliding Sulfur Cube archetype
• Snow Bricks only drop themselves if mined with a Shovel

Cold Sulfur Cube Archetype

• A new Sulfur Cube archetype that belongs to the special archetype category
• It has the same properties as the Fast Sliding archetype, but floats and replaces water below it with a disk of Frosted Ice when it moves, similar to the Frost Walker enchantment
• Air blocks above the water block are required for Frosted Ice placement
• Will only place Frosted Ice if the Sulfur Cube starts its movement while it is on ground
• Used when the Sulfur Cube absorbs a Blue Ice block

Changes

• Changed the default JVM options
• Mobs falling through lava may take slightly less fall damage in some cases

Minor Tweaks to Blocks, Items and Entities

• All Packed Ice Brick variants will now require a pickaxe to be mined in order to drop themselves
• Brittle Ice will no longer crack when a Stray is standing on top of it

Sounds

• Added ambient sounds to Ice Crystals
  • An Ice crystal block has a chance of playing an ambient sound if it has a block of packed ice below

Default JVM Options

• The game now automatically sets its Java heap size based on your system's RAM, using up to 25% with a maximum of 4 GB

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 125.1
• The Resource Pack version is now 101.0

Data Pack Version 125.1

Sulfur Cube Archetypes

• Added new location_based_effects field - an optional list of location-based effects
  • The format for each entry is exactly the same as a location-based enchantment effect
  • Level-based values in this definition will always be evaluated with level 1

World Generation

Density Functions

Changed GRADIENT

• The from_coordinate and to_coordinate fields now additionally accept a Vertical Anchor, as long as axis is y

Added DOMAIN_WARP

Samples an input function by applying an offset to each sampled coordinate.

Note: if the offsets change rapidly by large amount, performance may degrade significantly. This function should be used sparingly.

Format: object with fields:

• input - Density Function, the input function to sample
• offset_x - Density Function, the offset to apply to sampled X coordinates
  • The result is implicitly truncated to an integer
  • If not specified, defaults to: 0.0
• offset_y - Density Function, the offset to apply to sampled Y coordinates
  • The result is implicitly truncated to an integer
  • If not specified, defaults to: 0.0
• offset_z - Density Function, the offset to apply to sampled Z coordinates
  • The result is implicitly truncated to an integer
  • If not specified, defaults to: 0.0

At least one of offset_x, offset_y, or offset_z must be specified.

Structure Pool Elements

Added optional CORNER_CONSTRAINT Field

Limits the placement of a structure pool element this by sampling a Density Function at the corners of its bounding box.

Format: list of objects with fields:

• density_function - the Density Function to sample at the bounding box' corner
• acceptable_density - inclusive range of doubles, a corner's sampled density within this range counts as "inside"
• padding - integer between 0 and 8, the padding of the bounding box before sampling its corners
  • If not present, defaults to 0
• corners - one of all, top, or bottom, which corners to check
  • If not present, defaults to all

A Minecraft Java Snapshot

This week's snapshot comes packed with a bunch of new things for you to try out! In 26.4 Snapshot 5, we're introducing Packed Ice Bricks, including a bunch of variants, and YES, they work in the Stonecutter! We've also got a frosty new advancement for anyone who decides to fight ice with ice and take out a Frostbite with an Ice Ball.

Happy Mining!

New Features

• Added Packed Ice Bricks

Packed Ice Bricks

• Packed Ice Bricks can be crafted from 2x2 Packed Ice
• Packed Ice Bricks have a Slab, Stair, Wall, and Chiseled variant
• Packed Ice Brick Slabs, Stairs, Walls, as well as Chiseled Packed Ice can also be crafted using a Stonecutter
• Packed Ice Bricks and Chiseled Packed Ice belong to the Fast Sliding Sulfur Cube archetype

Advancements

• Added new "What Goes Around Comes Around" Adventure advancement for killing a Frostbite with an Ice Ball

Changes

• Mobs can now break Decorated Pots, Chorus Flowers and Speleothem blocks with projectiles in an adventure mode world, unless the mob_griefing gamerule is set to false

Sounds

• Added ambient sounds to regular Ice block
  • When an Ice block is surrounded by at least 8 Ice blocks in all horizontal directions (east, west, north, and south), with one Air block above and one Water block below, it has a chance to emit a sound

Video Settings

"Prefer DXGI Present" Video Setting

• This is a new option to attempt to use DirectX to present the game
• This only exists on Windows, and not all hardware supports it
• The default is off, and we consider this option "experimental" - it may not work for everyone
• With DXGI enabled, you may see improvements with IME support, Variable Refresh Rate support, and faster alt-tabbing whilst in fullscreen mode

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 125.0
• The Resource Pack version is now 100.2

Network Protocol

Modified Login Protocol

• Encryption and compression must now be explicitly applied by the server by sending one of two packets that carry connection options
  • The client must acknowledge the change with a matching packet
  • Every packet sent and received by the client after the acknowledgement will use the new settings
  • Previously changes were applied immediately on both sides, which might've lead to malformed packets
• Packets that can carry options:
  • minecraft:login_finished (clientbound) and minecraft:login_acknowledged (serverbound)
  • minecraft:apply_options (clientbound) and minecraft:options_applied (serverbound)

Data Pack Version 125.0

Data Components

MINECRAFT:CONSUMABLE

• The sound field is now fully optional (defaulted to minecraft:entity.generic.eat before)

MINECRAFT:EQUIPPABLE

World Generation

Features Changed ORE and SCATTERED_ORE

• Blocks discarded due to air exposure will no longer fall through to the next replacement rule

Density Functions Changed UPSCALE (renamed from INTERPOLATED )

Samples the input function at a reduced resolution, and upscales on each axis with the specified modes. Modes that require more samples will generally perform worse. Upscaling is performed by axis in order: Z, X, then Y.

Format: object with fields:

• input - Density Function, the input function to sample
• x, y, z - object with fields, the configuration for this axis
  • mode - one of: nearest_neighbor, interpolate_linear, interpolate_cosine, interpolate_cubic, b_spline_cubic, the mode to use
    • nearest_neighbor
      • 1 sample per axis
      • Value is discontinuous across cell boundaries, gradient is always 0
      • Values at cell vertices always equal the cell value
    • interpolate_linear
      • 2 samples per axis
      • Value is continuous, gradient is constant within a cell but discontinuous across cell boundaries
      • Values at cell vertices always equal the cell value
    • interpolate_cosine
      • 2 samples per axis
      • Value and gradient are continuous
      • Gradient is 0 at cell boundaries
      • Values at cell vertices always equal the cell value

A Minecraft Java Snapshot

With 26.4 Snapshot 4, we're breaking out a cool new block, introducing Brittle Ice! And Jukeboxes can now keep the music going with playlists by putting your music discs in a chest above them, making dance parties much easier. Just be careful not to dance on the Brittle Ice, as it'll start cracking under your feet...

Happy Dance Break!

New Features

• Added Jukebox Playlists
• Added Brittle Ice

Jukebox Playlists

• Place a single Chest, Trapped Chest, or any Copper Chest variant directly above a Jukebox to use its Music Discs as a playlist
• Discs play in slot order, skipping empty slots and other non-music-disc items and looping back to the start
• When a disc finishes, the Jukebox swaps it with the next disc in the chest
• If the chest has no Music Discs, the disc in the Jukebox plays again
• Ejecting the current disc skips to the next available disc

Brittle Ice

• Brittle Ice is a new block that can be found in Ice Caves
• Once a player or mob steps on it, it will start to crack and eventually break
• The Frostbite mob can walk on Brittle Ice without breaking it
• Brittle Ice only generates naturally in Ice Caves as part of the crevasse feature
• It is obtainable with Silk Touch
• It can also be created by water flowing onto a Blue Ice block
  • Any water block that borders the Blue Ice block horizontally will turn into Brittle Ice

Original source

Changes

World Generation

• Upgrading worlds from before Caves and Cliffs will now also generate sulfur caves below old chunks

Minor Tweaks to Blocks, Items and Entities

• Red and Brown Mushrooms can now be placed on any block with a solid top face regardless of lighting conditions
• They can still not spread unless the brightness is less than 13, or their support block overrides light requirements

"Graphics API" Video Setting

• "Default" now behaves the same as "Prefer Vulkan"
• The game will no longer change the graphics API setting automatically if a startup crash is detected.

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 122.0
• The Resource Pack version is now 98.0

Network Protocol

Added MINECRAFT:MOD_LIST Custom Packet Payload

Added
MINECRAFT:MOD_LIST
Custom Packet Payload

• This packet is intended to inform servers about client mods to simplify debugging
• Vanilla client sends an empty packet at the start of configuration phase, as it does not know about any mods - that is still a responsibility of 3rd-party modding platforms

Modified MINECRAFT:INTENTION Packet

Modified
MINECRAFT:INTENTION
Packet

• The
  host
  field in the serverbound intention packet can now hold additional parameters (previously it stored only the domain name used for connecting to a server)
• The new format is similar to URI query strings - the domain can now optionally be followed by a ? character and then followed by key=value pairs separated by a & character
• Empty values can be omitted (including = sign)
• Keys and values are escaped according to the standard URI rules ("percent-encoded component")
• Keys starting with _ are reserved for vanilla use
• Example: example.com?key1=value2&key2
• Users can now input properties in any "Server Address" field in the server list
• Additionally, any address in form of @ will be parsed as ?_id=
• If a server uses SRV DNS records, the host field will contain both original and resolved domains
• If the resolved domain is different from the original domain, the resolved one will be used as the "primary" one, while the original one will be added as _o ("origin") property
• Example host string: ?_o=:, while the port field in the intention packet will be set to the resolved port value
• The field size has been extended to 1024 characters
• Note: since the minecraft:intent packet is unencrypted, properties should not be used for any security-sensitive purpose

Modified MINECRAFT:TRANSFER Packet

Modified
MINECRAFT:TRANSFER
Packet

• Added properties field - a string to string map of properties that will be added to the host field in the minecraft:intent packet sent to the target server

Dedicated Server Properties

• Added allowed-connection-ids
• A list of comma-separted ids
• If non-empty, the server will match the values against _id property in minecraft:intent packet
• If there is no match, the server will reject the connection
• This works both for both status and login connections, so any user connecting without the correct _id in the server address will not see the status and will not be able to join the server
• Added status-contact-details field
• If non-empty, the value of this field will be sent in the minecraft:status_response packet JSON payload under the contact property
• This value is meant to be used to signal a way to contact the server owners about the server, even if there is no website or other information about it
• This field is meant to be human-readable, but there are no other restrictions on field format
• Added enable-legacy-status field
• This option allows disabling existing legacy (pre-1.7) server status and ping protocol handling
• To preserve existing functionality, value defaults to true
• Note: enable-status needs to be set for any status information (modern or legacy) to be set

Data Pack Version 122.0

• Entries for different biomes in multi-noise biome sources can no longer overlap across all noise parameters with the same offset

Commands

• The fillbiome command will now fill biomes with block accuracy
• NBT conversion from floating point types to integer types now always converts to the closest possible valid number after rounding down

World Generation

Features

Changed STRAIGHT_TRUNK_PLACER

Changed
STRAIGHT_TRUNK_PLACER

• Added trunk_width field
• optional int provider, the width of the trunk centered around the origin
• defaults to 1.0

Placed Features

• The possible domain in the XZ plane of Placed Features included in biomes is now validated
• Feature placement can only occur within a 3x3 chunk region: as such, it is not valid for a Placed Feature to select a position outside of that range
• Note: the size of the feature itself is not currently taken into consideration, which may still overflow the chunk

Placement Modifiers

Changed CUBOID

Changed
CUBOID

• xz_size and y_size have been adjusted to represent the actual size of the cuboid, instead of implicitly being 1 block larger
• As such, an xz_size of 2 will actually produce a 2x2 cuboid instead of 3x3

Changed FIXED_PLACEMENT

Changed
FIXED_PLACEMENT

• positions now requires at least one element

Noise Settings

• The default_block field has been removed
• This is now always air - any other block should be defined by the Material Rule

Material Conditions

Updated MINECRAFT:STEEP

Updated
MINECRAFT:STEEP

• No longer considers height modifications from Eroded Badlands "surface extensions" in an order-dependent way

Tags

Biome Tags

• Added #generated_in_below_zero_retrogen - biomes to generate below worlds that predate Caves and Cliffs
• Added #is_cave collection tag

Resource Pack Version 98.0

Shaders & Post-process Effects

Order-Independent Transparency shaders

• The OIT algorithm was simplified by replacing the wavelet-based mathematics with depth bin-based accumulation
• Slightly improved performance at least on some devices
• Reduced floating point precision issues on average
• OIT_WAVELET_RANK shader define was removed
• OIT_COEFF_COUNT shader define was replaced by OIT_NUMBER_OF_DEPTH_BINS
• OIT_COEFF_ATTACHMENT_COUNT shader define was renamed to OIT_TRANSMITTANCE_TARGET_COUNT

Looks like this Snapshot couldn't wait until Tuesday! Arriving a day early, it brings new customization options for Realms. Owners can now increase render distance up to 25 chunks and separately configure render and simulation distance to find the balance that works best for their world.

Happy mining!
