STRUCTURES

TRIAL CHAMBERS

Trial Chambers are a new structure in the Overworld where players can explore and take on combat challenges
- Made out of a variety of Copper and Tuff blocks, and can be found in different sizes
- A relatively common find throughout the Deepslate layer of the underground
- Natural mob spawning does not occur inside, similar to Ancient Cities
- Never starts inside a Deep Dark biome, but can sometimes overlap it
The layout of each Trial Chamber is procedurally generated, and can include traps, rewards and a variety of combat areas
- Decorated Pots line the corridors and hold hidden treasures
- Supply Barrels can be found between different rooms, and give you blocks and items which help you navigate your trials
- Vaults are guarded by challenges in each room, and can be a source of many high level Enchanted Books and equipment including a very rare chance to receive a Trident
- Ominous Vaults can be found in harder to reach places and give even better loot than standard Vaults, including some items which are exclusive to Ominous Vaults
Each Trial Chamber will include Trial Spawners with a melee, small melee, or ranged category:
- Melee
  - Zombie
  - Husk
  - Spider
- Small Melee
  - Slime
  - Cave Spider
  - Baby Zombie
  - Silverfish
- Ranged
  - Skeleton
  - Stray
  - Bogged
Each Trial Spawner category will only use one mob for the entire structure when generated, and these mobs are randomized for each Trial Chamber
- For example, one Trial Chamber might only spawn Zombies, Cave Spiders and Strays, while another might only spawn Spiders, Silverfish and Skeletons
- The exceptions to this are some Trial Spawners in unique rooms which always spawn Breezes

MOBS

BREEZE

A cunning hostile mob spawned by some Trial Spawners in Trial Chamber rooms
- Drops 1-2 Breeze Rods when killed by a player
- The number of Breeze Rods dropped is affected by looting enchantments
Moves primarily by leaping around its target
Deflects almost all projectiles, making it immune to ranged combat
- With one notable exception: it cannot deflect Wind Charges
An aggressive adversary, it shoots volatile wind energy in the form of Wind Charge projectiles at its target
- After colliding with an entity or a block, Wind Charge projectiles produce a Wind Burst, which knocks back entities in the area
- Wind Charges deal a small amount of damage when colliding directly with an entity
- Wind Charges break decorated pots and chorus flower blocks upon collision
Wind Bursts have the effect of 'activating' certain blocks:
- Non-Iron Doors and Trapdoors are flipped
- Fence Gates are flipped
- Buttons are pressed
- Levers are flipped
- Bells are rung and swung
- Lit Candles are extinguished
Wind Bursts do not have any effect on Iron Doors, Iron Trapdoors, or any block being held in its position by a Redstone signal
Will not retaliate against attacks from the following mobs: Skeletons, Strays, Bogged, Zombies, Husks, Spiders, Cave Spiders and Slimes
- The same mobs will not retaliate against a Breeze when hurt by its Wind Charge projectile

BOGGED

A new variant of Skeletons that shoots poisonous arrows
- They're easier to take down with 16 health instead of 20 health
- They attack at a slower interval of 3.5 seconds instead of 2 seconds
Has a chance to drop Arrows of Poison when killed by players
These mossy and mushroom covered Skeletons spawn naturally in Swamps and Mangrove Swamps
- Can also be found spawning from Trial Spawners in some Trial Chambers
Drops 2 mushrooms when sheared (either both red, both brown, or one of each)

WEAPONS

MACE

A new heavy weapon to smash your enemies!
- Has a base damage of 5
- Can be crafted with a Breeze Rod and a Heavy Core
- Using it will decrease its durability like any other weapon; can be repaired with Breeze Rods at an Anvil
Has a unique attack called the smash attack. When the player falls more than 1.5 blocks before hitting, a smash attack is triggered which has multiple effects:
- Safe Fall: Resets all vertical momentum and negates any fall damage accumulated from the fall
- Extra Damage: Does more damage the further the player fell before hitting the target with it:
  - For the first 3 blocks fallen: Add 4 damage per block
  - For the next 5 blocks fallen: Add 2 damage per block
  - For any blocks fallen after: Add 1 damage per block
- Great Knockback: Other entities near the struck enemy will be knocked back by the immense force of the Mace
Can be used in combination with Wind Charges to launch up and deliver devastating smash attacks to enemies
These existing enchantments can be applied to the Mace:
- Mending
- Unbreaking
- Smite
- Bane of Arthropods
- Fire Aspect
- Curse of Vanishing
The Mace also has 3 exclusive enchantments: Density, Breach and Wind Burst

ENCHANTMENTS

Three new enchantments have been added which are exclusive to the Mace

Density
- Common Enchantment, accessible in the Enchanting Table and on Enchanted Books in random loot chests
- Has 5 levels
- Maces enchanted with Density do more damage per fallen block per Density level
  - Damage dealt per fallen block is increased by 0.5 per level of Density
- Mutually exclusive with Breach, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods
Breach
- Rare Enchantment, accessible in the Enchanting Table and on Enchanted Books in random loot chests
- Has 4 levels
- Maces enchanted with Breach reduce the effectiveness of armor on the target
  - The effectiveness of the armor is reduced by 15% per Breach level
- Mutually exclusive with Density, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods
Wind Burst
- Unique enchantment which can only be found in Ominous Vaults
  - Only Wind Burst I can be found, higher levels must be obtained by combining them in an Anvil
- Has 3 levels
- Maces enchanted with Wind Burst will emit a Wind Burst upon hitting an enemy, launching the attacker upward and enabling the linking of smash attacks one after the other
- Successfully landing a Wind Burst attack causes the player to lose the fall damage protection they would otherwise have from landing a successful smash attack
- Each level will bounce the attacker an additional 7 blocks into the air

BLOCKS

CRAFTER

A new block that enables the crafting of items and blocks via Redstone
- Can be crafted with 5 Iron Ingots, 2 Redstone Dust, 1 Crafting Table and 1 Dropper
Will eject one crafting result at a time when powered by a Redstone pulse
- Its current powered state is indicated by Redstone crystals on its back face, which will light up
- The crafting grid on its top face will light up red when it successfully crafts a recipe
Upon receiving a signal, it will eject the recipe result from the front face
- If the recipe output has any remainder items (such as a Bucket), the result and remainder items will be ejected together
When placed, the front face of the Crafter will face towards the player

Crafter User Interface

Has a 3x3 interactable crafting grid
The crafting grid slots are toggleable, meaning that the player can change the behavior of a slot by interacting with it while not holding an item
A slot that is ‘toggled’ cannot hold any items
- Other blocks such as Hoppers and Droppers also cannot place items into them
Unlike the Crafting Table, the Crafter displays a preview of the crafted item which will be crafted and ejected on the next Redstone pulse, but cannot be manually taken out by the player
- The arrow pointing out from the recipe grid will light up red when the Crafter is currently powered
The Crafter User Interface is shared between all players interacting with it, meaning that multiple players can interact with the Crafter at the same time, similar to Chests and Hoppers

Crafter Interaction with Other Blocks

The signal strength of a Comparator reading a Crafter is 0-9, where each non-empty or toggled slot adds 1 strength
Hoppers and Minecarts with Hoppers can be used to both insert and extract items from the Crafter
Droppers can be used to insert items into the Crafter
Items inserted from another block (ex: Hopper, Dropper) will fill the Crafter's slots based on these rules:
- Prioritize the first empty slot (from left-to-right, top-to-bottom)
- If there are no empty slots then prioritize the smallest stack of the same item (pick the first if there are multiple)
- If there is a toggled slot it will be skipped. The item will then be moved into the container
- If the item cannot be moved, it will be ejected into the world
Items are removed from Crafters by Hoppers and Minecarts with Hoppers in the same order as from other containers like Chests

TRIAL SPAWNER

A new variant of Monster Spawners that ejects rewards upon defeat
- Cannot be crafted nor obtained by players in Survival - instead, they can be found naturally throughout Trial Chambers
- Very slow to mine and resistant to explosions, and will not drop even with Silk Touch
- Cannot be moved by Pistons
The challenge level will increase for each new player a Trial Spawner notices nearby
- The challenge level will not decrease until it is reset during a Trial Spawner's cooldown
- Trial Spawners can only notice players which are in line of sight, and will ignore Creative and Spectator players
Unlike normal Spawners, a Trial Spawner will spawn a limited number of mobs proportional to its current challenge level
- It can only spawn a mob at positions that are within line of sight
- It can spawn a mob regardless of any light level requirement the mob has
- Spawned mobs are persistent
Once all mobs are defeated, the Trial Spawner will eject a number of rewards which is proportional to the current challenge level
- After the rewards have been ejected, the Trial Spawner goes into cooldown for 30 minutes, during which it will no longer spawn mobs
When placed in Creative, Trial Spawners have no mob type set by default
- The mob type can be set by interacting with it while holding a Spawn Egg
Has an Ominous Trial Spawner variant, accessible through an Ominous Trial

VAULT

A block that holds locked treasure and loot - players must find the right key to eject its rewards
- Can be found throughout Trial Chambers, containing the structures' most valuable loot
- Vaults in Trial Chambers require a Trial Key to be unlocked
- Cannot be crafted nor obtained in Survival, and does not drop anything when mined
- Explosion resistant and cannot be moved by Pistons
Can be unlocked by an unlimited number of players
- After a player has unlocked a Vault, they cannot personally unlock that Vault again
- If a player has not unlocked a particular Vault before, this can be seen by an orange stream of particles that flow from the player to that Vault when nearby
Has a keyhole that will be open or closed depending on the players nearby
- If any nearby player has not unlocked that Vault, the keyhole will be open
- If all nearby players have unlocked that Vault, the keyhole will be closed
Within its cage, it will cycle through and display items which are possible to eject from its loot table
- Players cannot time their unlocks to eject the item that is currently displayed in the cage
The loot it ejects is randomized each time it is unlocked
Has an Ominous Vault variant, unlockable through an Ominous Trial

COPPER FAMILY

The Copper family of blocks has been expanded to add:
- Chiseled Copper
- Copper Grate
- Copper Bulb
- Copper Door
- Copper Trapdoor
- Oxidized and waxed variants of all of the above

Chiseled Copper

Crafted with 2 Cut Copper Slabs of a shared oxidation level
Can be crafted in the Stonecutter

Copper Grate

A new type of decorative block unique to the Copper family
Crafted with 4 Copper Blocks of a shared oxidation level

- Mobs cannot suffocate inside them
- Cannot conduct Redstone
- Hostile mobs cannot naturally spawn on them

Copper Bulb

A light-emitting block that can toggle its light emission through Redstone pulses
Oxidizes like other Copper blocks, and emits light based on oxidation level
- Copper Bulb: Light level 15
- Exposed Copper Bulb: Light level 12
- Weathered Copper Bulb: Light level 8
- Oxidized Copper Bulb: Light level 4
When placed, its light is off by default
- While it is unpowered, it will toggle its light on or off when it receives a Redstone pulse
- Its light will stay on even when the Redstone source is removed, and will only toggle off when it receives another Redstone pulse
A Redstone crystal can be seen in its center while it is powered by a Redstone signal
Similar to Glass Blocks, it does not conduct Redstone power
Comparators reading a Copper Bulb will output a signal strength of 15 if the Copper Bulb's light is on
The crafting recipe for 4 Copper Bulbs is:
- 3 Copper Blocks of a shared oxidation level
- 1 Blaze Rod
- 1 Redstone Dust

Copper Doors and Trapdoors

Copper variants of Doors and Trapdoors that can oxidize over time and be waxed
Behaves like wooden doors, meaning they can be opened and closed with interaction as well as Redstone
- Can be opened by mobs that have the ability to open doors
Crafted with Copper Ingots

TUFF FAMILY

Tuff has been expanded to have its own family of blocks:
- Stair, Slab, Wall and Chiseled variants

- Grants 10% more knockback than a Breeze's, but has a much smaller area of impact
- Deals damage if it hits an entity directly
- Has a half-second cooldown after each use
- Can be fired from a dispenser
Players can use Wind Charges to propel themselves high into the air
- Players that launch themselves with a Wind Charge only accumulate fall damage below the height of where they collided with the Wind Burst
- As an example, if a player uses a Wind Charge to launch themselves 9 blocks into the air, and they do not land lower than where they initially launched, they will take 0 damage

OMINOUS EVENTS

Bad Omen has been expanded to give access to an optional experience in Trial Chambers
These optional experiences can be accessed through Bad Omen, and are now known as Ominous Events
- They are more challenging than usual, and are designed to shake up the experience in unique ways
- Raids are an example of an existing Ominous Event
As a result, Bad Omen has a new, shadowy icon and a sound for being applied to the player
- It is no longer given to players that defeat a Raid Captain outside a Raid
- Instead, players can gain access to Bad Omen by consuming the new Ominous Bottle item

RAIDS

Bad Omen no longer triggers a Raid directly when entering a Village
- Instead, it will transform into a Raid Omen variant with a duration of 30 seconds
- Once the Raid Omen expires, a Raid will start at the location the player gained the Raid Omen
- Like any other effect, players can drink a Bucket of Milk to clear the Raid Omen, preventing the Raid from starting

OMINOUS TRIALS

A new Ominous Event that can be accessed by exploring a Trial Chamber while Bad Omen is active
This event will have players facing more powerful Ominous Trial Spawners, if they dare

Trial Omen

A variant that Bad Omen can transform into
- This occurs when the player is within detection range of a Trial Spawner that is not Ominous
- The Trial Omen will have a duration of 15 minutes multiplied by the transformed Bad Omen's level
Players that have Trial Omen are surrounded by ominous particles

Ominous Trial Spawner

A more powerful active phase of the Trial Spawner with unique challenges and rewards
- Provides a more challenging experience that combat-loving players can opt into for better rewards
If a Trial Spawner detects a player that has the Trial Omen effect, the spawner will become Ominous if:
- It is not in cooldown
- Or, it is in cooldown but was not Ominous during its last activation
  - Making it Ominous this way will bypass the cooldown
While active, it will:
- Glow blue instead of orange
- Emit soul flames instead of normal flames
- Periodically spawn potions and projectiles on top of unsuspecting players and mobs
  - Based on their location, spawners in an area will select a random set of projectiles to spawn
  - These projectiles will always include a single type of Lingering Potion from a set of possible effects
The mobs it spawns are more powerful than usual:
- Mobs that can wear equipment will often spawn with enchanted weapons and armor
  - The armor these mobs wear have Armor Trims applied from the Trial Chambers
  - All 3 of the following armor enchantments are applied to each piece:
    - Protection IV
    - Projectile Protection IV
    - Fire Protection IV
  - Sword enchantments can be either of the two:
    - Sharpness I
    - Knockback I
  - Bow enchantments can be either of the two:
    - Power I
    - Punch I
- Mobs that cannot wear equipment will instead be spawned at double the total mob count over the course of the challenge
  - The spawners for these mobs will also have an additional mob out at once during its challenge
Becoming Ominous will despawn any existing mobs it spawned and reset its challenge
- If those mobs picked up or equipped any items on the floor, those items will be dropped when they despawn
- It will stay Ominous until it has been defeated and its cooldown has finished
When defeated, it will eject a different set of loot to normal Trial Spawners

Ominous Vault

A variant of Vaults that have a more menacing looking and emit soul flames instead of normal flames
These hold a more valuable set of rewards than the standard Vaults that are unlocked by Trial Keys
Can be found throughout Trial Chambers in harder to reach places, and require an Ominous Trial Key to unlock

Ominous Trial Key

A variant of the Trial Key which has a 30% chance to eject when defeating an Ominous Trial Spawner
Can be used to unlock Ominous Vaults

Whenever a mob with Oozing dies, it will check within a 5x5x5 area how many Slimes there are
- If the amount exceeds the max entity cramming cap (24 by default), it will not spawn any Slimes
- If it does not exceed it, it will attempt to spawn 2 Slimes up until the max entity cramming cap

ATTRIBUTES

Attribute Modifiers no longer have a UUID and name combination
Instead, Attribute Modifiers are now uniquely identified by a namespaced ID, similar to other resources
The ID of a modifier uniquely identifies it in the set of modifiers for a single attribute
- Using the same ID for different modifiers is allowed as long as the modifiers are for different attributes
Existing built-in modifiers will be upgraded to new IDs
Existing custom modifiers will be upgraded to the UUID as an ID in the minecraft namespace

ATTRIBUTE COMMAND

The uuid and name arguments have been replaced with a singular id argument

ITEM STACK ATTRIBUTE MODIFIERS

The uuid and name fields have been removed
Attribute Modifiers now have an id (namespaced ID) field
- This is a unique identifier per attribute for the modifier

ENTITY ATTRIBUTES

Attributes are now stored as attributes
Attribute format:
- id, renamed from Name
- base, renamed from Base
- modifiers, renamed from Modifiers
  - Now stores modifiers in the same format as modifiers in attribute_modifiers item stack components:
    - id, replaces UUID and Name
    - amount, renamed from Amount
    - operation, renamed from Operation, now a named constant instead of an int:
      - add_value - previously 0
      - add_multiplied_base - previously 1
      - add_multiplied_total - previously 2

ENCHANTMENTS

Enchantments are now set through data. An Enchantment is a set of core properties like level ranges and cost together with some effects. Most effect types also support a set of conditions, making it possible to apply them only when certain criteria are met.

Enchantments can be added in the registry enchantment. All Vanilla Enchantments can be found in the vanilla datapack in the client and server jar files.

Fields:

LEVEL-BASED VALUES

Many effects of Enchantments depend on the level of the Enchantment. For these fields, a type called Level-Based Values is used. In their most basic form, Level-Based Values can be written as floating-point constants, which is interpreted as a value that isn't in fact level-based, the constant is used as-is for all levels.

If a Level-Based value is not a floating-point constant, it is an object with a type field, specifying one of the following types.

linear

The most common type of Level-Based Value is a linear value. A linear Level-Based Value has two fields:

base: The base value added to all levels
per_level_above_first: Amount added for each level above the first one

In effect, a linear Level-Based Value results in base + per_level_above_first * (level - 1).

clamped

A Level-Based Value type that clamps a value between a min and max. Fields:

value: A Level-Based Value used as the input
min: A floating point value specifying the minimum value of the output
max: A floating point value specifying the maximum value of the output

fraction

A Level-Based Value type that represents the fraction between two values. Fields:

numerator: A Level-Based Value used as the numerator
denominator: A Level-Based Value used as the denominator

levels_squared

A Level-Based Value type that evaluates to the square of the levels, plus an addition. Fields:

added: A floating-point value added to the result of the squared levels

In effect, a levels_squared Level-Based Value results in level ^ 2 + added

lookup

A Level-Based Value type that maps a list of values to specific levels, and applies a fallback if the level is greater than the number of values supplied. Fields:

values - A list of values indexed by level - 1 to apply, if present
fallback - A fallback Level-Based Value to apply if the level is greater than the size of values

Fields:

value: The Level-Based Value to use as the result

ATTRIBUTE EFFECTS

Attribute effects use the Attribute system to apply an Attribute Modifier whenever the Enchanted Item is correctly equipped. Attribute effects do not have a dynamic type - they are all the same type.

Fields:

id: The namespaced ID of the Attribute Modifier to add
- This will be postfixed with the slot name when the enchanted item is equipped in a slot

All Entity Effect types can also be used as Location-Based Effects, and in addition attribute can be used to specify an Attribute Effect as a location-based effect.

EFFECT CONDITIONS

Most Enchantment effects are filtered using Conditions (same types as in loot tables). This enables effects to be specific for different situations. Each Effect Component defines which parameters are available for the condition to evaluate - some parameters are available for all of these parameter sets, while some are specific to a certain set.

Unlike with loot tables, all effect conditions need to be inline objects and cannot be references.

Each effect component specifies which parameters are available in the Effect Components list below.

Damage Parameters

Entities: this, attacker, direct_attacker
Enchantment Level
Origin
Damage Source

Item Parameters

EFFECT COMPONENTS

The effects field in an Enchantment is a map of Effect Component type the Effect List data. Most Effect Components are lists, so any number of Effects can be added of any Component Type. The data for each effect generally involves having a specified condition context and Effect Type, but some Effects also deviate from this format.

In cases where the documentation specifies a Condition Context and Effect, the Component is a list. Each entry in the list has a field named effect with the effect of the type used by the list. Entries can also optionally include a field named requirements specifying the condition parameters, which are then evaluated with the documented context.

Default: 0
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 1024

GENERIC.MOVEMENT_EFFICIENCY

How efficiently the entity can move through impeding terrain that slows down movement. A factor of 1 removes all movement penalty, a factor of 0 applies full movement penalty.

Default: 0
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 1

GENERIC.OXYGEN_BONUS

Factor to the chance an Entity has to not use up air when underwater. 0 has no effect, values over 0 are used in the following formula to determine the chance of using up air:

1 / (oxygen_bonus + 1)

Default: 0
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 1024

PLAYER.SNEAKING_SPEED

The movement speed factor when sneaking. A factor of 1 means sneaking is as fast as walking, a factor of 0 means unable to move while sneaking.

Default: 0.3
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 1

PLAYER.SUBMERGED_MINING_SPEED

The mining speed factor when submerged. A factor of 1 means mining as fast submerged as on land, a factor of 0 means unable to mine while submerged. Note that this represents only the submersion factor itself, and other factors (such as not touching the ground) also apply.

Default: 0.2

Default: 0
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 1

GENERIC.WATER_MOVEMENT_EFFICIENCY

The movement speed factor when submerged. The higher, the more of the underwater movement penalty is mitigated. Note that this represents only the submersion factor itself, and other factors (such as not touching the ground) also apply.

Default: 0
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 1

BLOCK PREDICATES (WORLD GENERATION STYLE)

UNOBSTRUCTED

New block predicate type that passes if the selected block is unobstructed (no entities are in the space of the block).

Fields:

offset: List of 3 int offset coordinates, specifying the offset from the origin position to test
- Optional, defaults to [0, 0, 0] if unspecified

ENTITY DATA

PROJECTILES

Arrow-like projectile data now contains a weapon field containing an Item Stack representing the weapon the projectile was fired from
The ShotFromCrossbow field has been removed
Removed power NBT tag and replaced it with acceleration_power tag with a number value that control the projectiles acceleration (and maximum speed)
- This change affects the following projectiles; dragon_fireball, large_fireball, small_fireball, fireball, breeze_wind_charge, wind_charge, wither_skull

ITEM COMPONENTS

The custom_data component can now be specified as an SNBT string to preserve type information in JSON
- This is the same as is used in the set_custom_data loot function and custom_data predicate
The food item component has a new field:
- using_converts_to: item with components (optional)
  - Once consumed, the food item will be replaced with the specified item
  - e.g. food={nutrition:1,saturation:0,using_converts_to:{id:"poisonous_potato",components:{"minecraft:custom_name":'"Wait what?"'}}}

STRUCTURES

Added dimension_padding field to structures of type minecraft:jigsaw, which ensures that a structure is not generating through the edges of a dimension by adding vertical padding to its bounding box
- Can be written as an object with two fields:
  - bottom the vertical padding at the bottom of the dimension, non-negative integer
  - top the vertical padding at the top of the dimension, non-negative integer
  - e.g. dimension_padding: { bottom: 10, top: 5 }
- Can be written as a single non-negative integer instead to be applied to both top and bottom fields
  - e.g. dimension_padding: 10
Added liquid_settings field to structures of type minecraft:jigsaw. Possible values:
- apply_waterlogging: If any waterloggable block overlaps with existing water, it will become waterlogged
- ignore_waterlogging: If any waterloggable block overlaps with existing water, it will not become waterlogged
- Default value is apply_waterlogging
Added optional field override_liquid_settings to single_pool_element element type
- Has the same possible values as the liquid_settings in jigsaw structures
- If provided, it overrides the inherited liquid settings from the parent jigsaw structure while generating this pool element

COMMANDS

The item argument in the /give, /item, and /loot commands now supports removal of default components with ! prefix
- e.g. /give @s diamond_pickaxe[!tool] will give a Diamond Pickaxe without the tool component
Added @n entity selector, selecting the nearest entity
- This functions as @e[sort=nearest,limit=1]
- Additional requirements may still be provided; for example: @n[type=pig] will select the closest Pig

RESOURCE PACK VERSIONS 33 THROUGH 34

Added new textures and music assets for Music Discs
Renamed sound events for Ominous Trial Spawner becoming active and ambient sound
Added the block.vault.reject_rewarded_player sound event

Minecraft - 1.20.70/71 (Bedrock)

March 12, 2024

A new update for Minecraft is available now, bringing several changes, fixes, and experimental features! Check out the highlights from this release:

Wolves now have double the amount of health than they used to
Experimental: Upcoming 1.21 features, including the Bogged, Wind Charge, and Vault

NOTE: Some platforms may see this update as version 1.20.70, though the two versions are fully compatible in multiplayer.

Your thoughts on the game continue to shape new updates so please upvote and report any new bugs at bugs.mojang.com and leave us your feedback at feedback.minecraft.net.

Vanilla Parity:

Mobs

Wolves can now withstand the same amount of damage as in Java Edition (MCPE-177613)
- Rather than halving all damage dealt to tamed Wolves by entities other than Players or Arrows, as currently done in Java Edition, the maximum health of tamed Wolves has been increased from 20 to 40
- Pre-existing tamed Wolves will need to be fed to reach the new maximum health
- To ensure the healing rate remains consistent, the health restored by feeding Wolves has been doubled
- Java Edition will be adjusted to match the new Bedrock Edition implementation

Experimental Features:

Wind Charge

Become the Breeze! Using a Wind Charge will fire off a Wind Charge projectile similar to the Breeze's
A Wind Charge fired by a player will grant 10% more knockback than a Breeze's
Just like the projectile fired by the Breeze, Wind Charges fired by the player also deal damage if they hit an entity directly
The Breeze drops between 4-6 Wind Charges when killed
Wind Charges have a max stack size of 64
There is half a second cooldown after each use
Wind Charges can be fired from a dispenser
Players that launch themselves with a Wind Charge only accumulate fall damage below the y-level of where they collided with the wind burst

Bogged

A new variant of Skeletons that shoot poisonous arrows
- They're faster to take down with 16 health instead of 20 health
- They attack at a slower interval of 3.5 seconds instead of 2 seconds
Has a chance to drop Arrows of Poison when killed by players
These mossy and mushroom covered Skeletons spawn naturally in Swamps and Mangrove Swamps
- Can also be found spawning from Trial Spawners in some Trial Chambers

Vault

A block that holds locked treasure and loot - find the right key to eject its rewards
- Found throughout Trial Chambers, containing the structures' most valuable loot
- Vaults in Trial Chambers require a Trial Key to be unlocked
Can be unlocked by an unlimited amount of players
- After a player has unlocked a Vault, they cannot unlock that Vault again
- If a player has not unlocked that Vault before, an orange stream of particles will flow from the player to the Vault when nearby
Has a keyhole that will be open or closed depending on the players nearby
- If any nearby player has not unlocked that Vault, the keyhole will be open
- If all nearby players have unlocked that Vault, the keyhole will be closed
Within its cage, it will cycle through and display items which are possible to eject from its loot table
The rewards it ejects are randomized from its loot table each time it is unlocked
Vaults currently reuse the same loot table that reward chests previously used in the Trial Chambers
- This loot table is temporary and will be completely revised as development continues
Cannot be crafted or obtained in Survival mode, and does not drop anything when mined
Explosion-resistant and cannot be moved

Wolf

The collars of tamed Wolves have been increased in size, making them visible not only from the front but also from other angles

Fixes and Changes:

Performance / Stability

Fixed a bug that could cause the loading screen to get stuck for some time around 40% (MCPE-175550)
Fixed an issue where the game could softlock while displaying the "Loading resource packs" modal

Fixed a bug that could sometimes prevent the Stronghold portal room from being generated (MCPE-19426)
Fixed players not unlocking “The Beginning” trophy on PlayStation for defeating a Wither, even if they were close enough to the Wither

Mobs

When fed, baby mobs now emit both sound and particles
All sounds emitted by Phantoms are now audible even when the player is facing away (MCPE-133125)
All sounds emitted by Wardens are now audible even when the player is facing away (MCPE-159481)

Blocks

Double Slabs can once again be created when stacking two of the same Slabs together (MCPE-179187)

Large Ferns now have a chance of dropping Wheat Seeds (MCPE-126947)
Tweaked the loot drop distributions for Fortune enchantment of Melon, Redstone Ore, Glowstone, and Nether Wart to better match Java Edition
Fixed a bug that made it so players could not place multiple items while moving, such as Boats or Fireworks (MCPE-178063, MCPE-178077)

As a result of this fix, we've had to revert the fix for Slabs and Stairs being placed inconsistently while continuously building (MCPE-54855). We'll work to reintroduce a fix for this in an upcoming update

General

Implemented a fix for the “One Block Skyblock” Marketplace map generating flat world in the distance on the client if the map was uploaded on Realms
- Clients connected to a dedicated server or Realms will no longer improperly generate LevelChunks on the client if one of the following is true:
  - The map is a flat world
  - It's a Marketplace map

“leaves” block is now split into unique names, “oak_leaves”, “spruce_leaves”, “birch_leaves, and ”jungle_leaves”
“leaves2” block is now split into “acacia_leaves” and “dark_oak_leaves”
- Commands will still work with “leaves” and “leaves2”, but only new leaves names will be suggested in the command prompt
The “minecraft:grass” block has been renamed to “minecraft:grass_block”, the old name is still understood from commands and data
“double_wooden_slab” block is now split into unique instances "acacia_double_slab", "birch_double_slab", "dark_oak_double_slab", "jungle_double_slab", "oak_double_slab", "spruce_double_slab"
- Commands will still work with “double_wooden_slab”, however, “double_wooden_slab” block will not be suggested
“wooden_slab” block is now split into unique instances “oak_slab”, “spruce_slab”, “birch_slab”, “jungle_slab”, “acacia_slab”, “dark_oak_slab”
- Commands will still work with “wooden_slab”, however, “wooden_slab” block will not be suggested
"wood" block is now split into unique instances: "oak_wood", "spruce_wood", "birch_wood", "jungle_wood", "acacia_wood", "dark_oak_wood", "stripped_oak_wood", "stripped_spruce_wood", "stripped_birch_wood", "stripped_jungle_wood", "stripped_acacia_wood", and "stripped_dark_oak_wood"

- This requires a “format_version” of 1.20.70 or higher
The "damage_sensor" component's "damage_modifier" and "damage_multiplier" fields are now properly considered during damage immunity calculations, so that damage adjusted to be lesser or equal to the highest damage received during an entity's immunity period will be accurately ignored

Entity Filters

Added new entity filter “was_last_hurt_by”, which checks if the subject is the last player or mob to have recently attack the entity

Items

Custom armor attachables can now be trimmed with vanilla trims, and modified vanilla patterns can be applied to custom armor attachables and items
- Vanilla trim textures can be overridden via the attachable component
- Vanilla trims can be applied to custom geo armor via the attachable component
- Modified vanilla trim patterns (to fit the new geo armor) can be applied via the attachable component
- Armor trim patterns on custom armor requires the 1.20.60+ format version for the attachable and item

Molang

Removed experimental Molang queries get_ride and query.get_riders
Deprecated the Molang Features experimental toggle

- ride_head_y_rotation(clampRotation?) => float
surface_particle_color, query.surface_particle_texture_coordinate, and query.surface_particle_texture_size are now versioned with 1.20.70 to allow the three queries to see Leaf blocks as the surface texture below the block. Molang versions lower than 1.20.70 will continue to not see the Leaf block below them
This change takes effect for Molang queries in packs that have a manifest.json min_engine_version of 1.20.70 or higher.

NBT Parsing

Loading of NBT data is now more restrictive. Negative-length arrays, invalid tag ids, and not enough bytes in a payload are now all treated as errors which will prevent a tag loading where before those conditions were sometimes ignored

The Pitcher Pod, when planted on Farmland, grows into a Pitcher Crop
The Pitcher Crop has five growth stages
Once fully grown, the Pitcher Crop can be harvested, yielding a two-block-tall Pitcher Plant
The Pitcher Plant can be crafted into Cyan Dye

CAMEL

Camels can be equipped with a Saddle and ridden by two players
Camels spawn naturally when Desert Villages generate
Camels can be tempted by holding Cactus
Feed Cactus to Camels to breed them
Camels are tall
- Most hostile mobs will not be able to reach you when you are on a Camel
- They can walk over Fences and Walls
Camels randomly sit down
- While sitting, it is difficult to convince them to move
Camels can either walk slowly or sprint quickly
They can also dash forward but will lose stamina for a while when doing so

SMITHING

Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications
Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Template
Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to a piece of equipment
- It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade
- There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade
Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table
You can craft a copy of a Smithing Template in the Crafting Table with 7 diamonds + 1 block of material that the template is made out of + 1 smithing template, which will output 2 of the same Smithing Template

NETHERITE EQUIPMENT

Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template
Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests
- Every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant will contain 2 Smithing Templates
This change was made for a variety of reasons:
- Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite
- Make Netherite equipment more significant achievement in the game's progression
- Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system

ARMOR TRIMS

You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table
Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits
Armor trims can be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings and Boots
- All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor's item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material
- To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory
Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contain their own unique Smithing Templates:
- Trail Ruins: Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, and Host Armor Trims
- Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim
- Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim
- Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim
- Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim
- Ocean Monument: Tide Armor Trim
- Ancient City: Ward and Silence Armor Trims
- Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim
- Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim
- Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim
- Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim
- End City: Spire Armor Trim
Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
- Trail Ruins have no chests, Smithing Templates are instead found by brushing Suspicious Gravel
- The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death
Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!
An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
- The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim, and represents the visual pattern of the trim
- The material is defined by which ingredient you used to apply the trim, and controls the color of the trim
The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
- Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz

CHERRY GROVES

Added a new Cherry Grove biome, with pretty cherry blossom trees
- The biome can be found in the mountains, in similar places as Meadows
Added a new Cherry wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it
Pink particles fall from beneath Cherry Leaves
Added a new Pink Petals block with lots of pink flowers on the ground
- Each Pink Petal block can contain up to 4 petals
- Using Bone Meal on it increases the number of petals
- Placing a Pink Petal into an already placed block increases the number of petals
- Drops the number of petals in the block when mined

BAMBOO WOOD SET

Added a new Bamboo wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it
Block of Bamboo can be crafted from 9 Bamboo and can be stripped like other wood logs
Bamboo Planks crafted from Block of Bamboo yield only 2 planks compared to 4 for wood logs
Added a new "Mosaic" plank variant that is unique to Bamboo called the Bamboo Mosaic
- It can be crafted with 1x2 Bamboo Slabs in a vertical strip
- You can craft Stair and Slab variants of Bamboo Mosaic
- Bamboo Mosaic blocks cannot be used as a crafting ingredient where other wooden blocks are used, but they can be used as fuel
Added a unique Bamboo Raft and Bamboo Chest Raft which can be crafted like normal boats, but with Bamboo Planks
- They function the same as ordinary boats, but have a unique look to them

CHISELED BOOKSHELF

A new, chiseled variation of the Bookshelf
Crafted with 6 planks and 3 wooden slabs
Can store Books, Book and Quills, Written Books, Enchanted Books, and Knowledge Books
- Holds up to 6 books
- These can be added or removed from any slot by targeting the specific slot
The Comparator signal strength corresponds to the number of the last book that was inserted or removed
- The numbering of book slots starts from 1 at the top-left, and increments from left-to-right
Works with Hoppers

HANGING SIGNS

Hanging Signs are a more expensive version of normal Signs
- Crafted with 2 chains and 6 stripped logs of your preferred wood type
- Crafting results in 6 Hanging Signs
Can be hung up in the following ways:
- Underneath a block that can provide support in the center, like a full block or a fence
- Attached to the solid side of a block
- Attached to the side or underneath another Hanging Sign
Unlike normal Signs, they cannot be placed directly on the ground without support from the side or above
- However, Hanging Signs that have a horizontal bar will not pop when the supporting block is removed

SIGNS

The following changes have been made for both Signs and Hanging Signs.

Sign text can now be edited after being placed in the world
- This can be done by interacting with the Sign
- Signs with non-text chat components can not be edited
Both sides of the Sign can now have separate text and colors, allowing for further customization options
- By default, a Sign will prompt you to input the front side's text when placed
- To apply text to the back-side, you must walk to the other side and interact with that face to edit it
Signs can now also be waxed with Honeycomb, preventing any further edits to its text
Opening the sign edit screen in singleplayer no longer pauses the game

CALIBRATED SCULK SENSORS

A new variant of Sculk Sensors that allows you to filter vibrations based on their frequency level
They are not found naturally and can only be crafted with 1 Sculk Sensor and 3 Amethyst Shards in the Crafting Table
One side of the Calibrated Sculk Sensor can receive a redstone signal as input
- The strength of that redstone signal is the only vibration frequency the Sculk Sensor will listen to
They have a combined active and cooldown phase that lasts 20 game ticks
- They output their redstone signal for the first 10 game ticks
They can detect vibrations up to 16 blocks away

VIBRATION RESONANCE

Blocks of Amethyst have a new behavior when placed adjacent to Sculk Sensors
- If that Sculk Sensor receives a vibration, the Block of Amethyst will re-emit its frequency as a separate vibration at its location
This behavior is called Vibration Resonance, and allows players to move vibration frequencies across long distances without having to recreate the vibration naturally

PLAYABLE MOB SOUNDS

When placing a Mob Head on a Note Block, that Note Block will now play one of the ambient sounds of that mob when played by a player or powered by Redstone
Mob Heads can be placed on top of Note Blocks without sneaking

PIGLIN MOB HEAD

Piglins will now drop their heads when killed by a charged Creeper
Placing the Piglin head on a Note Block will play one of the Piglin's ambient sounds
The Piglin head will flap its ears when powered by Redstone, or when worn by a player while walking

NEW MUSIC

Added the following new music tracks by Aaron Cherof to Cherry Groves, Desert, Jungle, Badlands, and Flower Forest biomes:
- A Familiar Room
- Bromeliad
- Crescent Dunes
- Echo in the Wind
Added a new music disc with the track "Relic" by Aaron Cherof, found in Trail Ruins

WINDOWS AARCH64/ARM64 SUPPORT

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

CHANGES

Changes to Sculk Sensor block behaviors
Vibration frequencies of many actions in the game have been tweaked
Colored Wool, Carpets and Beds can now be dyed to any other color
Replaceable blocks no longer block the connection between enchanting tables and bookshelves
Wither effect particle and Potion of Slow Falling color have been adjusted to make them more distinguishable

Updated the credits
- Added the ability to scroll upwards by pressing the up arrow key
The game will now display a message box on startup if user enabled text-to-speech functionality, but it is not available
Removed Herobrine

SCULK CHANGES

If a vibration is scheduled to be received by a Sculk Sensor or Sculk Shrieker, they will stay queued until all adjacent chunks are loaded and ticking
- Prevents vibration resonance setups from breaking when unloading their chunks from a distance
Waterlogging a Sculk Shrieker will now silence their shriek sounds
Sculk Sensors' default redstone output has been modified to be more reliable for distance calculations
Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors now strongly power the block they are placed on
Both types of Sculk Sensors now stay in their Cooldown phase for 10 ticks, with other phase timings being adjusted to compensate

SCULK SENSOR PHASES

Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors have three phases: Inactive, Active and Cooldown
The default phase is Inactive
- This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration
- During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled
When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase
- This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
- During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils and emits a redstone signal and light
After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase
- This phase lasts for 10 game ticks
- During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a redstone signal nor light
- Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase
Previously, some of these phases had different timing values:
- Active: 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
- Cooldown: 1 game tick for both types of Sculk Sensors
These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them

VIBRATION FREQUENCIES

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

Movement in any medium (land, water and air)
Landing on any surface (land or water)
Item interactions
Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (Ravager roar, Wolf shaking, etc)
Dismounting a mob or equipping gear
Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob
Mobs and players getting damaged
Consuming items (drinking and eating)
Blocks 'deactivating' (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)
Blocks 'activating' (door open, chest open, button press, etc)
Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to campfire, etc.)
Blocks being destroyed
Blocks being placed
Mobs and players teleporting or spawning
Mobs and players dying or an explosion

STEP SOUNDS

Walking on a block will now always play a step sound
- It was previously not the case if you were walking along the edge of a block with air or fluid besides it
Walking on the ocean floor will produce a step sound for the block you are walking on at a lower volume and pitch
When walking on Carpets, Snow, Nether Sprouts, Warped Roots, and Crimson Roots, a combination of step sounds will be played
- The top-most block you are walking on is played as normal
- The block underneath is played at a lower volume and pitch

ADVANCEMENTS

Breeding Camels and Sniffers now count for "The Parrots and the Bats" and are now required for "Two by Two"
Hanging Signs now count for "Glow and Behold"
Visiting a Cherry Grove is now required for "Adventuring Time"

TECHNICAL CHANGES

Improved performance of the light engine
The data pack version is now 15, accounting for sign data format, item display orientation and advancement changes
Removed update_1_20 feature flag and built-in datapack - features are no longer experimental
Added a return command
Tweaked display entity interpolation
Added a capped rule structure processor that limits the number of replaced blocks for a structure piece to a configured maximum
Configuring block entity fields in a rule processor rule is now delegated to a referenced block_entity_modifier instead of the previously fixed output_nbt configuration
Random sequences for loot tables are now deterministic
Added a reference loot table function
Loot table condition/predicate changes:
- Renamed alternative to any_of
- Added all_of
Advancement trigger changes:
- Added recipe_crafted
- Changed format of placed_block, item_used_on_block and allay_drop_item_on_block triggers
Ingredients in array form are now also allowed in smithing_trim and smithing_transform recipes on fields template, base and addition
- Those fields also allow empty arrays, which signalize that slot needs to be left empty
Added new damage types: outside_border and generic_kill
Game events have changed vibration frequency and some have been removed
The resource pack version is now 15, accounting for the font and credits update
- Updated the sprite layout of minecraft.png
- Removed the overriding minecraft.png from the Programmer Art resource pack
- Updated the sprite layout of invite_icon.png
- legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed
- Bitmaps used by uniform font have been removed
- uniform font has been updated to use Unifont 15.0.06
  - That changes shape of multiple characters, while also adding support for new ones
  - Combining characters no longer include circle overlayed over them (so M◌̆ now renders as M ̆)
- Added second level of organization of entries in credits.json on top of titles, called disciplines
Font textures are included in debug texture dump (F3 + S)
Added new font glyph providers: unihex and reference, removed legacy_unicode
Added support for Quick Play
Removed the server & port commandline arguments as their functionality has been replaced by Quick Play
Updates to telemetry
Changed encoding of server.properties to UTF-8
Added validation for symbolic links in world saves

LIGHT ENGINE

The light engine is responsible for calculating the brightness of each block in the world.Light is calculated during world generation as well as updated when a block is changed in the world.Behavior of the light engine has not been changed.

The performance of calculating light has been improved
- Reduces one source of lag spikes when crossing chunk borders
- Improves FPS in situations when a lot of light updates occur
- Improves how quickly chunks can be generated

COMMANDS

RETURN

The return command can be used to control execution flow inside functions and change their return value. Effects:

Remaining separate top-level commands in the currently executing function (if any) are skipped
The result value of the function command that triggered the function is changed from the number of commands executed to value
The result value of the return command is also value

Syntax:

return <value>

Parameters:

value: An integer return value

DATA

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

DISPLAY ENTITY

INTERPOLATION CHANGES

Previous values are always discarded if interpolation_duration is 0
Made sure that render properties are applied at the same time (so block_state is applied at the same time as transformation, i.e. at the next tick after receiving an update)
Display entities are not rendered until their initial data is received. That means display entities might not be shown on the first tick.
Note: due to how the game handles updates, changes to entities made after summoning might be delivered to clients within a later tick

RENDERING CHANGES

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

STRUCTURE POST-PROCESSORS

CAPPED POST-PROCESSOR

A capped post-processor has been added which can limit how many blocks a delegated post-processor randomly transform in a structure
This can be used to configure a structure piece to have an exact amount of specific blocks, instead of using random distribution
The capped post-processor has following required parameters:
- delegate A post-processor which performs the actual block transformation
- limit Maximum amount of blocks that the delegated post-processor can transform
  - The blocks inside a structure are all randomly passed to the delegated post-processor until it has transformed the limited amount
  - Either constant or random number generator sampled during post-processing

RULE POST-PROCESSOR BLOCK ENTITY CONFIGURATION

Previously a rule could specify an optional fixed output_nbt which would be added to the processed output block entity
This field has now been changed to reference a block_entity_modifier
Existing block_entity_modifier's are:
- passthrough Retains existing fields on the block entity
  - This is the default if no block_entity_modifier is specified
- append_static Similar to previous output_nbt this provides fixed fields to add to the block entity
  - A minor change is that this modifier appends configured fields to the processed block instead of replacing existing fields
- clear Removes any existing fields on the block entity
- append_loot Appends a loot table and seed to the block entity through required parameter:
  - loot_table Referenced loot table to add to block entity as LootTable field
  - Field LootTableSeed is also added to the block entity using random seeded by block position

LOOT TABLES

RANDOM SEQUENCES

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

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

REFERENCE

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

Fields:

name - location of function to call

ANY_OF/ALL_OF

Loot condition alternative has been renamed to any_of
Added new loot condition all_of that passes only when all sub-conditions pass
- Has the same syntax as any_of

ADVANCEMENTS

NEW TRIGGERS

RECIPE_CRAFTED

Triggered when crafting a recipe
Conditions:
- recipe_id - the resource location of the recipe crafted
- ingredients - an array of predicates for the item stacks used in the recipe
  - A single item stack can only be used to fulfill one predicate
  - Each predicate needs to be fulfilled to trigger the advancement. This allows for separation between recipes that have same identifier but use different ingredients.
  - This field is optional. When not provided, or left empty, only the recipe_id will dictate the success of the trigger

CHANGED TRIGGERS

All fields in placed_block, item_used_on_block and allay_drop_item_on_block have been collapsed into a single location field
The new location is similar to the player field - it is a list of loot conditions/predicates
All conditions in this list must match for a trigger to run
Conditions are evaluated in a new loot context called advancement_location. It has access to:
- Player as this entity
- Position of the placed block
- Block state of the placed/interacted block
- Held/used item as "tool"
Migration guide:
- Contents of old location field should be migrated to location_check condition
- Contents of item field should be migrated to match_tool condition
- Contents of block + state fields should be migrated to block_state_property condition

Example (from make_a_sign_glow advancement):

Before:

{ "conditions": { "item": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] }, "location": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block" }

After:

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

DAMAGE TYPES

Players outside the world border are now hurt by the damage type outside_border instead of in_wall
Forcibly removing an entity using the /kill command now uses damage type generic_kill instead of out_of_world

GAME EVENTS

Removed piston_contract game event in favor of block_deactivate
Removed piston_extend and dispense_fail game events in favor of block_activate
Many game events have new vibration frequencies:
- 1: step, swim, flap
- 2: projectile_land, hit_ground, splash
- 3: item_interact_finish, projectile_shoot, instrument_play
- 4: entity_roar, entity_shake, elytra_glide
- 5: entity_dismount, equip
- 6: entity_mount, entity_interact, shear
- 7: entity_damage
- 8: drink, eat
- 9: container_close, block_close, block_deactivate, block_detach
- 10: container_open, block_open, block_activate, block_attach, prime_fuse, note_block_play
- 11: block_change
- 12: block_destroy, fluid_pickup
- 13: block_place, fluid_place
- 14: entity_place, lightning_strike, teleport
- 15: entity_die, explode

FONTS

NEW UNIHEX GLYPH PROVIDER

New glyph provider for reading Unifont HEX files
- HEX format describes font glyphs using a bitmap
  - The height of every glyph is 16 pixels
  - The width of glyph can be 8, 16, 24 or 32 pixels
- Every line is made of two hexadecimal numbers separated by :
- The first value describes a codepoint - it must have 4, 5 or 6 hex digits
- The second value describes the glyph as a stream of bits, line by line
When rendering, empty columns on left and right side of glyphs are removed
- Custom glyph widths can be set with size_overrides
This provider requires two fields:
- hex_file - path to ZIP archive containing one or more *.hex files (files in archive with different extensions are ignored)
- size_overrides - list of codepoint ranges that should have width different from auto-detected (based on empty space in glyph). Fields:
  - from, to - start and end of codepoint range (inclusive)
  - left, right - integers describing the position of the left-most and right-most columns of the glyph in range
    - Any bits in columns outside of this range will be discarded

NEW REFERENCE GLYPH PROVIDER

New glyph provider that can be used to include providers from other fonts
- Providers are guaranteed to be loaded only once, no matter how many times they are included
Provider has one field id, that describes another font to be included in the currently loaded one
- Inclusion is performed after all fonts are loaded, so it will include all providers for a given font defined in all datapacks

REMOVED LEGACY_UNICODE GLYPH PROVIDER

The legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed
This functionality has been replaced by the unihex provider

QUICK PLAY

Added support for four new command line arguments that allow the game to be launched directly into a world
quickPlayPath takes a specified path for logging (relative to the run directory)
- If a path is provided the following will be logged upon joining a world:
  - type: is either singleplayer, multiplayer, or realms
  - identifier: represents the world you want to join
    - For singleplayer, the folder name of the world
    - For multiplayer, the IP address of the server
    - For realms, the Realms ID
  - port: represents the server port and is only logged for multiplayer
  - name: The name of the world
  - gamemode: The gamemode of the world
  - lastPlayedTime: The time you joined the world
- Example:
  - --quickPlayPath "quickPlay/log.json" will resolve into .minecraft/quickPlay/log.json
quickPlaySingleplayer, quickPlayMultiplayer and quickPlayRealms all take their respective identifier
- If one of these arguments is provided, the game will try to launch directly into the given world
- Examples:
  - --quickPlaySingleplayer "New World"
  - --quickPlayMultiplayer "localhost:25565"
  - --quickPlayRealms "1234"

TELEMETRY

ALL EVENTS

Added new property: launcher_name
- This is set based on the minecraft.launcher.brand system property
- This will help us troubleshoot game launch related bugs more effectively, as we will be able to see whether the issue originated in the Minecraft launcher or a third-party program

UPDATED REQUIRED EVENTS

world_loaded
- Added new property: realms_map_content
  - When loading into a Realms Map Content world (Minigame), the world_loaded event will receive the name of that map
  - This is to help us understand how Java Realms players interact with Java Realms adventure or minimap content

NEW OPTIONAL EVENTS

advancement_made
- This event is triggered when a player completes an advancement, and allows us to see the advancement ID and the time when the advancement was completed
- This helps us as a studio understand player progress and limits, which informs our game design
game_load_times
- This event is triggered when the game client is loaded
- Includes the time it took for the client to load
- This is so that we can work on improving and reducing the time it takes to load the game client

SERVER.PROPERTIES

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

SYMBOLIC LINK VALIDATION

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

If the target of a symbolic link is not on the user-configured allow-list, the game will not proceed with loading the world
- Note: the world directory itself can still be linked
The list of allowed symbolic link targets is stored in file allowed_symlinks.txt in the client or server top directory
The file consists of entries (one per line) with following formats allowed:
- Lines starting with # are comments and are ignored
- [type]pattern, where type can be glob, regex or prefix
  - prefix matches start of path with given pattern (so for /test paths /test, /test/ and /test/foo.txt would match)
  - regex matches regular expression against whole path
  - glob uses OS-specific path matching mechanism (for example *.txt would usually match files with txt extension)
  - Note: paths will use OS-specific separators
- pattern, which uses default prefix type

Experimental Features

Breeze

The Breeze is a cunning, hostile mob that can spawn via Trial Spawner in some rooms within Trial Chambers
The Breeze moves primarily by leaping around a target, sometimes jumping quite long distances
An aggressive adversary, the Breeze shoots volatile wind energy in the form of wind charge projectiles at its target
Wind charges deal a small amount of damage when colliding directly with an entity
After colliding with an entity or a block, wind charge projectiles produce a wind burst, which knocks back entities in the area by several blocks
Wind bursts also have the effect of 'activating' certain blocks:
- Non-Iron Doors and Trapdoors are flipped
- Fence Gates are flipped
- Buttons are pressed
- Levers are flipped
- Bells are rung and swung
- Lit Candles (both standalone and on cake) are extinguished
Wind bursts do not have any effect on Iron Doors, Iron Trapdoors, or any block being held in its position by a Redstone signal

Trial Spawner

Trial Spawner is a new variant of Monster Spawners that ejects rewards upon completion and can have variable levels of challenge in multiplayer
The challenge level will increase for each new player a Trial Spawner notices nearby
- Challenge level will not decrease until it is reset during a Trial Spawner's cooldown
Unlike normal spawners, a Trial Spawner will spawn a limited number of mobs proportional to its current challenge level
- It can only spawn a mob at positions that are within line of sight
- It can spawn a mob regardless of any light level requirement the mob has
- Spawned mobs are persistent
Once all mobs are defeated, the Trial Spawner will eject a set of rewards proportional to the current challenge level
- After the rewards have been ejected, the Trial Spawner goes into cooldown for 30 minutes during which it will no longer spawn mobs
Trial Spawners cannot be crafted nor obtained by players in Survival - instead, they can be found naturally placed throughout Trial Chambers
Trial Spawners are extremely slow to mine and resistant to explosions, and will not drop even with Silk Touch
When placed in Creative, Trial Spawners have no mob type set by default
- The mob type can be set by interacting with it while holding a Spawn Egg
Creative and Spectator players cannot be detected or noticed by Trial Spawners

Trial Chambers

Trial Chambers are a new structure in the Overworld where players can explore and take on combat challenges during the mid-game
- Trial Chambers are made out of a variety of Copper and Tuff blocks and can be found in different sizes from large to small
- Trial Chambers are a relatively common find throughout the Deepslate layer of the underground
The layout of each Trial Chamber is procedurally generated, and can include traps, reward chests and a variety of combat spaces
- Supply chests can be found between different rooms, and give you blocks and items which help you navigate your trials
- Reward chests are guarded by challenges in each room, and can be a source of enchanted books and equipment
- The loot found in reward chests are still being iterated, and are absolutely not final
Each Trial Chamber will include Trial Spawners with a melee, small melee, or ranged category:
- Melee
  - Zombie
  - Husk
  - Slime
- Small Melee
  - Spider
  - Cave Spider
  - Baby Zombie
  - Silverfish
- Ranged
  - Skeleton
  - Stray
- Each Trial Spawner category will only use one mob for the entire structure when generated, and these mobs are randomized for each Trial Chamber
  - For example, one Trial Chamber might only spawn Zombies, Cave Spiders and Strays, while another might only spawn Slimes, Silverfish and Skeletons
  - The exceptions to this are some Trial Spawners in unique rooms which always spawn Breezes

Trial Key

An item that can only be obtained from Trial Spawners
Trial Keys do not currently have any functionality

Armadillo

Added the Armadillo
The Armadillo is a neutral mob
Drops Armadillo Scutes periodically
Drops Armadillo Scutes when brushed
Spawns in Savannas
Favorite food is Spider Eyes
When an Armadillo detects a threat, it rolls up
- Threats are:
  - Players who are sprinting
  - Players on a mount or in a vehicle
  - Undead mobs
- It does not roll up if it is fleeing, in water, in the air, or if being led
- When an Armadillo is rolled up it does not walk, cannot eat, and will not be tempted by food
- It continues to scan for threats, and if there are no threats detected for 3 seconds, it will unroll

Armadillo Scutes

Can be used to craft Wolf Armor
Dropped by Armadillos
Dispensers can be used to brush Armadillo Scutes off Armadillos

Wolf Armor

Using Wolf Armor on an adult tamed Wolf will equip the armor on the Wolf
- Only a Wolf's owner can put Wolf Armor on their tamed Wolf, and with this in mind, Dispensers cannot put Wolf Armor on Wolves
Using Shears on a Wolf that is wearing armor will make it drop the armor
- Only a Wolf's owner can shear a Wolf Armor from it, and with this in mind, Dispensers cannot remove Wolf Armor from Wolves
Wolf Armor gives the same protection as Diamond Horse Armor
If a Wolf dies while wearing armor, it will drop the armor

Wandering Traders can now correctly display custom entity spawn eggs in their trade menus (MCPE-170184)
The "minecraft:geometry.full_block" identifier for the "minecraft:geometry" block component has been added
- The "minecraft:geometry.full_block" identifier provides a centered 1x1x1 cube geometry
- When combined with a material_instances component with "render_layer": "opaque", it enables rendering-only capabilities previously included in the "minecraft:unit_cube" component including:
  - Occludes both vanilla and custom neighboring full blocks
  - Culls faces that neighbor vanilla and custom neighboring full blocks to improve rendering performance
- Added content error logging to help creators identify content that hits or exceeds the state bit/permutation count per block (MCPE-177045)

Biomes

Biome JSON files no longer support inheriting fields from other Biome JSON files. If this affects any content those files should be updated by manually copying the desired JSON text
Biome tags in JSON files are now specified under a "minecraft:tags" component, in a "tags" array, rather than as loose JSON objects, for files with a format_version of 1.20.60 or higher

Blocks

Added the ability for data-driven blocks to remove faces in the geometry when abutting a full and opaque block. A new field has been added to the Block Geometry Component, which references a new Culling .json file (found in the resource pack block_culling directory) that sets up culling rules for the tessellated geometry

Items

Unrecognized fields in component item JSON will now give a warning to the content log in format versions 1.20.60 and higher

The "entity_sensor" component now supports multiple "subsensors":
"event", "require_all", "minimum_count", "maximum_count", "range" and "event_filter" are now individually configurable fields of each subsensor
Subsensors also have a new "cooldown" field, which defines how often each subsensor should sense for entities
All these changes require a "format_version" of 1.20.60 or higher
The "interact" component now supports the additional "entity_act" value for the "vibration" field

Entity Components

Entity event response run_command has been renamed to queue_command and has been released out of experimental. Commands run via queue_command may be deferred until the next tick. If the entity is removed before the command is run, the command will not execute. Content using run_command under experimental will still work for now but the experimental feature is now considered deprecated
Added an "interact_filters" field to the "ageable" component, which allows to specify conditions on when the actor can be fed
"behavior.follow_parent" now interrupts navigation on stop for content using engine version 1.20.60 or higher

Entity Filters

Added new entity filter "is_panicking", which checks if the entity is executing "behavior.panic"
Added new entity filter "is_sprinting", which checks if the entity is sprinting

Entity Event Responses

Added the "emit_vibration" entity event response, which allows the entity to emit a vibration having the entity itself as its source
- The "vibration" field allows to specify the vibration to be emitted
- The allowed values are "shear", "entity_act", and "entity_interact"
