Minecraft Release Notes

Hi there! It is time for the second snapshot for 26.4, featuring improved render distance fog, a new celestial occluder, and a fresh redesign of the F3 screen.

Happy mining!

Changes

• The Resource Pack version is now 99.0

Data Pack Version 122.1

New Environment Attributes

Resource Pack Version 99.0

Shaders & Post-process Effects

Changes for the "Improved Fog" feature that is controlled by the "Improved Transparency" video setting

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

Fixed bugs in 26.4 Snapshot 1

• MC-8959 - The player automatically jumps when pressing against a block while in water
• MC-44560 - When pushed to the edge of water or lava, entities jump by themselves
• MC-50749 - Jumping into water against a wall causes the player to bounce
• MC-123848 - Item frames (and items within) drop atop the block they're attached to instead of under it when removed from a ceiling
• MC-135211 - Entities automatically jump when falling into 1-block-deep water from certain heights
• MC-135212 - Entities automatically jump when falling into water of any depth from certain heights
• MC-262252 - The generation of lush caves and dripstone caves is poorly defined
• MC-276879 - /data truncates floats when casting to longs, but rounds down in all other cases
• MC-278651 - The host name in handshake packets for SRV records is inconsistent
• MC-296053 - Item frames don't update properly when modifying their Facing NBT tag
• MC-299060 - Setting item frames' direction with commands can cause desyncs
• MC-303702 - Small gaps still appear in item models
• MC-307065 - Missing optimization for the side faces of the builtin/generated item model
• MC-310051 - Floating point cancellation artifacts from bits.fsh
• MC-310131 - Placeable entities momentarily appear at the wrong location when placed
• MC-310767 - Pipelines always declare a D32_FLOAT depth attachment format with the Vulkan rendering backend
• MC-311195 - Placed armor stands are rotated incorrectly for one tick
• MC-311265 - The world border renders incorrectly from outside
• MC-311473 - Duplicating items with the scroll wheel in Creative mode can produce ghost items
• MC-311582 - The texture of desert pyramid maps has one inconsistent pixel compared to the others
• MC-311726 - The water inside waterlogged copper grates has the falling fluid state property set to true
• MC-311727 - The check for whether a player is standing on air doesn't use the player's updated position
• MC-311773 - Red and brown mushrooms cannot be placed at any light level, unlike in Bedrock Edition
• MC-311786 - Running /test run with a rotationSteps value that is out of range causes an error
• MC-311788 - Teleporting item frames moves them further than it should visually
• MC-311818 - Traveling to the End in Spectator mode regenerates the obsidian platform
• MC-311836 - Minecart sounds are now distorted
• MC-311859 - Damaged dyed wolf armor no longer shows cracks in the colored parts
• MC-311966 - The tooltip of the "Quit Shortcuts" option calls the Command key "Cmd"

• The cursor is now confined to the window while Exclusive Fullscreen is active

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 119.0
• The Resource Pack version is now 97.1

Data Pack Version 119.0

• The minecraft:number_provider and minecraft:number_provider_type registries have been split into separate registries for integer calculations (minecraft:context_int_provider, minecraft:context_int_provider_type) and float calculations (minecraft:context_float_provider, minecraft:context_float_provider_type)

Number Providers

Number provider types and values have been split into two separate registries: minecraft:context_int_provider and minecraft:context_float_provider to avoid accidental loss of precision and range due to mixing of float and integer operations

Note: those new types should not be confused with already existing minecraft:int_provider_type and minecraft:float_provider_type, which are context-free providers, used mostly for world generation

Following number provider types have been split into integer and float variants:

• minecraft:constant
• minecraft:uniform

Following vanilla number providers have been migrated to minecraft:context_float_provider registry:

• minecraft:cooking/speed_default
• minecraft:cooking/normal_speed_multiplier
• minecraft:cooking/fast_speed_multiplier
• minecraft:brewing/speed_default

Following vanilla number providers have been removed:

Commands

Added COMPUTE

Added COMPUTE

• Evaluates minecraft:number_provider in various contexts
• In all contexts origin is set to current command context position, while this entity is set to @s

Syntax:

• The player icon on maps have been updated to always show the direction the player is facing
• Added support for Realms to use additional server regions in Canada, Mexico, South Africa, and Arizona, USA if they become available in the future

Explorer Maps

• Explorer Maps are now their own items instead of renamed Filled Maps, and each has its own icon:
• Ocean Explorer Map
• Woodland Explorer Map
• Trial Explorer Map
• Jungle Explorer Map
• Swamp Explorer Map
• Desert Village Map
• Plains Village Map
• Savanna Village Map
• Snowy Village Map
• Taiga Village Map
• Buried Treasure Map

• Warm Ocean Ruins Map
• Map and Empty Map have new icons
• These items cannot be obtained from the Creative inventory
• Existing Explorer Maps in old worlds are converted to the matching new item on load
• Explorer Maps can still be cloned in a Crafting Table, and the copies keep their own item type
• Explorer Maps and Buried Treasure Maps can no longer be zoomed out, neither in a Crafting Table nor at a Cartography Table
• Buried Treasure Maps could previously be zoomed out at both
• Explorer Maps could previously be zoomed out at a Cartography Table
• Only maps in the
  #minecraft:extendable_maps
  tag can be zoomed out

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 115.0
• The Resource Pack version is now 95.0
• level.dat now contains a version_history list with prior data versions of the file

Data Pack Version 115.0

• The following Block State fields has been renamed
• Name is now id
• Properties is now properties
• The default Block State of a Block can now be referred to in a compact form directly by the Block id
• minecraft:exploration_map no longer changes the type of the item it is applied to

Commands

Changes to SWING

• When used on a player, the player's attack strength will no longer be reset
• Added a new optional argument to set the swing animation to play
• Allowed values:
  • whack
  • stab
• If omitted, defaults to whack
• Added a new argument to set the duration of the swing animation, if provided
• Format: positive time value (by default in ticks)
• If omitted, defaults to 6t

Data Components

Added MINECRAFT:ATTACK_ANIMATION

• The animation to play when the item is being used to attack something
• Format: object with fields:
  • type - swing animation type, one of whack or stab
  • duration - positive integer, the length of the animation in ticks

Added MINECRAFT:INTERACT_ANIMATION

• The animation to play when the item is being used to interact with something
• Format: Same as minecraft:attack_animation

Removed MINECRAFT:SWING_ANIMATION

• This has been replaced by minecraft:attack_animation and minecraft:interact_animation
• The none swing animation type has been removed
• Existing items in the world will be migrated to using the default whack
• Setting both of these new components to the same value will be functionally identical to the old component, except for:
• The /swing command - animation type now specified by the command
• Items being dropped by entities

Removed MINECRAFT:MAP_COLOR

• Maps are no longer drawn as a tinted overlay, so there is nothing left for the color to apply to
• Existing maps have the component stripped on load
• See the Resource Pack section for the matching removal of the minecraft:map_color tint source

Loot Functions

Changed MINECRAFT:EXPLORATION_MAP

• The map_color field has now been removed
• The function no longer changes the type of the item it is applied to - it now only adds map data to the existing item
• Previously it required a minecraft:map and produced a minecraft:filled_map
• The item to produce is now chosen by the loot entry or villager trade itself, so a data pack that produced exploration maps has to change its item from minecraft:map to minecraft:filled_map (or one of the explorer map items)
• If no matching structure is found, the item is left without a minecraft:map_id - use minecraft:filtered with minecraft:discard_item to drop those, as the vanilla loot tables and villager trades now do

Density Functions

• Density Functions and noises are no longer evaluated with double-precision floating point values, but instead with single-precision
• This affects all intermediate steps, not just the final result

Developer's Note: _We are aware that the details of floating point rounding have been used in some Data Packs, and this change may affect specific configurations. We have introduced alternatives for the use-cases that we are aware of, but please do share with us on feedback.minecraft.net or in the feedback Discord if you encounter use-cases that are no longer possible to support.

It's yet another Tuesday, and it seems that we've officially run out of quippy snapshot intros until the next delivery. Anyway, here's Snapshot 6, bringing some tweaks and improvements to the Abandoned Camp, a new World Options UI, as well as changing up how terrain is rendered.

Happy camping!

Changes

• Added a new Abandoned Camp campsite variant for each biome
• Minor tweaks to Abandoned Camp structures

UI

• Fixed an issue where Realm owners could not select automatic region preference as their Realm region

World Options

• The World Options button has been moved to where the Open to Lan button used to be, accessible from the pause menu
• The World Options screen is divided into two sections: "General" and "Multiplayer"
• The "General" section contains the same options as the previous World Options screen
• The "Multiplayer" section contains three options:
  • LAN: changes the multiplayer scope of the world
  • Command Access: Controls whether players that join your world can use commands or not
  • Port: the port number to use when opening the world to LAN
• The Online button used to access the Online Options screen will now always be shown in the Options menu

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 113.0
• The Resource Pack version is now 94.0
• Terrain blocks are now rendered with MultiDrawIndirect on supported devices

Data Pack Version 113.0

Commands

Changes to PUBLISH

• The gamemode argument has been removed
• Instead, the default game mode of the world should be set using the defaultgamemode command or the Game Mode button in the World Options screen, while player-specific game modes should be set using the gamemode command

Data Components

Changed MINECRAFT:COOKING_FUEL

• burn_time and speed_multiplier can now additionally be defined by an inline number

Changed MINECRAFT:BREWING_FUEL

• uses and speed_multiplier can now additionally be defined by an inline number

Changed MINECRAFT:COMPOSTABLE

• layers can now additionally be defined by an inline number

Entity Data

• Added invulnerable_time tag which makes a mob temporarily invulnerable for a specific number of ticks

Loot Table Types

Changed MINECRAFT:BLOCK_INTERACT

• origin is now available in context, as the center of the block being interacted with

World Generation

Noises

The format of Noises (defined in the worldgen/noise registry, or inline in noise-based Block State Providers) has been updated.

Noises define a fractal Brownian motion (fBm) configuration with the following properties:

• Produces output values (approximately) fitting a normal distribution
• Unless otherwise specified, fits the output amplitude to [-1; 1]
• Due to the normal distribution, in practice this means that 99.7% of all samples will fit in that range - but values may still be encountered outside of this range
• Parameterized by persistence=0.5, lacunarity=2.0
• i.e. between each octave, the amplitude is halved and the frequency doubled
• Has stable seeding such that an octave can be boosted, muted, or added without affecting the rest of the octaves
• Renamed firstOctave to base_octave
• Added base_amplitude
  • non-negative float, a scale factor to apply to the noise output
  • If not specified, defaults to 1.0
• Added octave_count
  • integer between 1 and 32, the number of octaves to sample
• Added normalize
  • boolean, or "legacy" , controls how the output amplitude should be normalized
  • If true , base_amplitude is the expected amplitude of the output (i.e. 99.7% of all samples in [-base_amplitude; base_amplitude])
  • If false , base_amplitude is the amplitude of the first octave
  • If "legacy" , inherits the same normalization behavior as expressed by the previous format
  • This would generally fit to a range smaller than expected
  • If not specified, defaults to true
  • Note: normalization is not affected by the amplitude_modifiers field - as such, modifying the amplitude of a single octave will not affect the amplitude of others
• Renamed amplitudes to amplitude_modifiers
  • list of floats, a scaling factor to apply to each octave
  • The number of elements in this list must match octave_count
  • As described above, this scaling factor bypasses normalization and will affect the output amplitude
  • This field is no longer required - if not specified, defaults to all 1.0

Density Functions

Added POW

Added POW

Raises the given base value to an exponent.

Format: object with fields:

• base
  • Density Function, the base value

• If the input is 0 , returns 0
• If input is negative, returns -1

Format: object with fields:

• input
  • Density Function, the value of which to compute the sign

Added DISTANCE_TO_POINT

Added DISTANCE_TO_POINT

Computes the distance to a fixed point using the specified distance function.

Format: object with fields:

• point
  • array of 3 integers in form [x, y, z] , the point to compute distance to
• metric
  • one of:
  • euclidean
    • i.e. sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2)
  • euclidean_squared
    • i.e. dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2
  • manhattan
    • i.e. abs(dx) + abs(dy) + abs(dz)
  • chebyshev
    • i.e. max(abs(dx), abs(dy), abs(dx))

Updated GRADIENT (renamed from Y_CLAMPED_GRADIENT )

Updated GRADIENT (renamed from Y_CLAMPED_GRADIENT )

Format: object with fields:

• axis
  • x , y , or z , the axis over which to define this gradient
• tiling
  • one of:
  • clamp_to_edge
    • outside the gradient boundaries, the value at the nearest boundary will be used
  • repeat
    • the gradient will be repeated outside its boundaries
  • mirrored_repeat
    • the gradient will be repeated such that odd repetitions are mirrored, ensuring continuity between repetitions
• from_coordinate
  • int, the coordinate at which the gradient starts
• to_coordinate
  • int, the coordinate at which the gradient ends
• Must not be equal to from_coordinate
• from_value
  • float, the value at which the gradient starts
• to_value
  • float, the value at which the gradient ends

Added SLICE

Added SLICE

Removes a dimension from the input domain by taking a "slice" along an axis with a specific coordinate. For example, with axis=y and coordinate=0 , a slice will be taken along the XZ plane, with all values sampled at y=0 .

Format: object with fields:

• axis
  • x , y , or z , the axis to remove
• coordinate
  • int, the fixed coordinate to be passed to the input function
• input
  • Density Function, the input function

Changed END_OUTER_ISLANDS

Changed END_OUTER_ISLANDS

Renamed from end_islands . No longer computes the density of the main island.

Structure Pool Elements

Changed MINECRAFT:FEATURE_POOL_ELEMENT

Changed MINECRAFT:FEATURE_POOL_ELEMENT

• Can now connect to Jigsaw blocks with any target name, instead of just minecraft:bottom

Resource Pack Version 94.0

Shaders & Post-process Effects

• terrain.vsh and terrain.fsh shaders are refactored to support multi-draw
• Some of the members in Globals and DynamicTransforms are shuffled to use less memory for those uniform blocks
• Introduced new define: RENDERPEARL_EXPLICIT_DEPTH_INVARIANCE
  • If present, indicates that an OIT shader should explicitly output a depth value because a device it is running on can produce a slightly different implicit value

Equipment Assets

The trim_palette_replacements field has been replaced with trim_overrides . This can be used to swap out the texture or palette used with specific trim materials or patterns for a given equipment asset, not just swap specific palettes.

Format: list of override entries with fields:

• when
  • object with fields, the material and/or pattern to match
  • material
    • optional Trim Material ID, the material to match (if specified)
  • pattern
    • optional Trim Pattern ID, the pattern to match (if specified)
  • Note: this is not the palette ID, as trim_palette_replacements used to be!
  • At least one of material or pattern must be specified
  • If both are specified, both must match for the entry to be used
• texture
  • optional trim pattern asset ID, a replacement texture to use if this entry matches
  • Textures are specified in the same format as asset_id
  • If not specified, the default texture for the pattern will be used
• palette
  • optional palette ID, a replacement palette to use if this entry matches
  • If not specified, no palette remapping will be applied to the texture
• The first matching entry will always be selected
• At least one of texture or palette must be defined

Original source

Happy Snapshot day! Today we are shipping the 5th snapshot of 26.3 with a fresh batch of updates and improvements.
Happy mining!

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 112.0
• The Resource Pack version is now 93.0

Data Pack Version 112.0

• Codec for element lists/tags now allows mixing inline values and references
  • For example, item modifiers like
    [{type:set_count, ...}, "minecraft:some_modifier"]
    are now allowed

World Generation

Features

Changed MINECRAFT:SCULK_PATCH

Changed MINECRAFT:SCULK_PATCH

• Removed
  extra_rare_growths
  and
  catalyst_chance
  fields

Resource Pack Version 93.0

Shaders & Post-process Effects

Order-independent Transparency (OIT)-related Shader Changes

• The
  B3D_IS_ZERO_TO_ONE
  define has been renamed to
  RENDERPEARL_IS_ZERO_TO_ONE

Shader Compilation Changes

• Shaders are now compiled by ShaderC when using OpenGL as well, identically to when using Vulkan
• Shader includes are now handled by ShaderC using
  #include
  instead of
  #moj_import
• Shader inputs and outputs must have a location specified in shader source
  • Vertex input names must still match expected names.
  • Vertex outputs are matched to fragment inputs solely by location, name is now ignored.
• Introduced new define
  RENDERPEARL_INSTANCE_INDEX_INCLUDES_BASE_INSTANCE
  • A boolean indicating if
    gl_InstanceIndex
    follows Vulkan or OpenGL (
    gl_InstanceID
    ) semantics

Developer's Note:

Vertex inputs in previous versions using OpenGL were not allowed to specify a location. Compatability can be preserved by only specifying locations when the "VULKAN" macro is defined.

Developer's Note:

Vertex outputs and fragment inputs in previous versions were matched based on name alone. Compatability can be preserved by continuing to use identical names.
