Minecraft: Java Edition - 1.18 FEATURESTECHNICAL

October 7, 2022

AAAAARGH.

Ouff! Ouch! Ow!

Where am I? It’s dark down here! It’s almost as if I fell a greater distance than I would have before today. Figures. While I try to get out of this dripstone cave, I hope you enjoy all of the new features that 1.18 brings. Could you pass me a candle before you leave? It really is dark down here.

FEATURES

Added an “Allow Server Listings” option to opt out of having your name displayed in server listings
Added an Online options screen where you can now find the Realms Notifications option
Added new Overworld biomes

Changed default brightness to 50
Cod, Salmon, Pufferfish, Tropical Fish, Squid, and Dolphins now only spawn in water from height 50 to height 64
Frozen Peaks biome
Glow Squids now only spawn in water blocks under height 30
If it is raining, sleeping will stop the rain and reset the weather cycle (in 1.17 sleeping would always reset the weather cycle)
Illagers (Vindicator, Pillager, Evoker) no longer attack baby villagers
New music has been added to the game
New ore distribution and large ore veins
Overworld build and generation limits have been expanded
Raised the cloud level from 128 to 192
Redesigned how effects look in the inventory screen, to allow them to show even with recipe book open
Removed world types “Caves” and “Floating islands” from the world creation screen
Sprinting is no longer reduced to walking when gently brushing your sleeve against a wall
Tropical Fish now also spawn in Lush Caves at any height
Villages are slightly more spread out
World spawn selection algorithm has been reworked, now spawns player according to climate parameters

ADVANCEMENTS

Added “Caves & Cliffs” for falling from top to bottom of the Overworld
Added “Feels like home” for riding strider on lava for 50 blocks in the Overworld
Added “Star Trader” for trading with a villager at the build height limit
Added “Sound of Music” for playing music with a jukebox in a Meadow biome

BLOCKS

Enchanting Tables now emit a low amount of light
Using Shears on the tip of a Cave Vine, Twisting Vine, Weeping Wine, and Kelp will stop them from further growing
Copper Ore now drops 2-5 (from 2-3) Raw Copper items
In the Stonecutter, a Block of Copper can be converted to 4 Cut Copper
Restricted Big Dripleaf placement to Clay, Grass, Dirt, Farmland, Moss, Rooted Dirt, Podzol, and Mycelium

EFFECTS

Your list of effects are now shown to the right of your inventory, instead of the left side
When the inventory effects list is visible, it will be hidden from the game view to reduce screen clutter
There’s now two modes of seeing the effect list: Compact and Classic
- Classic is the pre-existing list of effects, one after another
- Compact is a single icon for each effect, suitable for small screen estate
The game will automatically switch between the two modes to suit the available screen estate (including having the recipe book open)

LARGE ORE VEINS

Ore Veins are large, rare, snake-like underground ore formations
Copper Ore Veins form between height 0 and 50 and are mixed with Granite
Iron Ore Veins form below height -60 and -8 and are mixed with Tuff

MOB SPAWNING

Monsters now only spawn in places where the light from blocks is 0 (sky light still prevents spawning like before)

MUSIC

Added new music by Lena Raine and Kumi Tanioka to the Overworld (when playing in Survival Mode) and the main menu
Added a new music disc from Lena Raine titled ‘Otherside’. This can be found rarely in Stronghold Corridor Chests or much more rarely in Dungeon Chests.

NEW OVERWORLD BIOMES

DRIPSTONE CAVES

Contains plenty of Pointed Dripstone and Dripstone Block on the floors and ceilings, as well as within small pools of water
In some places, you’ll find larger stalagmites, stalactites, and columns built from Dripstone Blocks
Contains extra Copper Ore
Drowned can spawn in aquifers inside Dripstone Caves

FROZEN PEAKS

Smooth mountain peaks with ice and snow
Spawns Goats and Yeti. Wait, no, actually it’s just Goats.

GROVE

Snowy terrain with big Spruce Trees and Powder Snow traps. You might want to wear leather boots!
Tends to generate on high-altitude terrain beneath mountain peaks or on hilltops
Spawns Wolves, Rabbits, and Foxes

JAGGED PEAKS

Dramatic jagged mountain peaks with Snow and Stone blocks
Spawns Goats

LUSH CAVES

Moss covers the floors and ceilings
Spore Blossoms grow from the ceiling and drip particles
Contains Clay pools with Dripleaf plants growing out of them
Contains Azalea Bushes and Flowering Azalea Bushes
The Azalea Tree loves to have its roots in Lush Caves, so if you find an Azalea Tree (either overground or in a cave) you know there is a Lush Cave beneath you
Cave Vines with Glow Berries grow from the ceiling and light up the caves

MEADOW

Large grassy and flowery biome that tends to generate high up on plateaus or next to large mountain ranges
Sometimes contains a lone, tall Oak or Birch Tree with a Bee Nest
Think Sound of Music!
Spawns Donkeys, Rabbits, and Sheep

SNOWY SLOPES

Very snowy terrain that can hide Powder Snow traps. I hope you kept those leather boots!
Tends to generate on high-altitude terrain beneath mountain peaks or on hilltops
Spawns Rabbits and Goats

NEW ORE DISTRIBUTION

Changed ore generation to match the new world height, and to add more strategy to mining. There is no longer a single height level that is best for all ores – you need to make tradeoffs!
Iron Ore generates below height 72, with a strong bias towards height 16. Iron Ore also generates above 80, with more Iron Ore as you go higher.
Copper Ore generates between height 0 and 96, with a strong bias towards height 48. Copper Ore generates in larger amounts in Dripstone Caves Biome.
Lapis Lazuli Ore generates below height 64, with a strong bias towards height 0. However, Lapis Lazuli Ore below height -32 or above height 32 cannot generate exposed to air. It will either be buried or inside water.
Coal Ore generates above height 0, with a strong bias towards height 96 and above. Coal Ore has reduced air exposure, so you will find more Coal Ore buried or underwater than exposed to air.
Gold Ore generates below height 32, with a strong bias towards height -16. Extra Gold Ore generates below height -48. Extra Gold Ore can be found in Badlands biomes above height 32.
Redstone Ore generates below height 16. Redstone Ore generation gradually increases as you go below height -32 and further down.
Diamond Ore generates below height 16, with more Diamond Ore the lower you go. Diamond Ore have reduced air exposure, so you will find more Diamond Ore buried or underwater than exposed to air.
Emerald Ore generates above height -16 in mountainous biomes, with more Emerald Ore the higher you go. Emerald Ore below height 0 is very rare!

NOISE CAVES AND AQUIFERS

Noise caves are a new way of generating caves, providing more natural variety. They can get really huge sometimes! Noise caves come in three flavors:
- Cheese caves: Like the holes in swiss cheese. These often form caverns of various size.
- Spaghetti caves: Long squiggly tunnels, sometimes wide like tagliatelle
- Noodle caves: Thinner, squigglier, and more claustrophobic variant of spaghetti caves
No, they aren’t loud. The “noise” part of noise caves is a technical term and has nothing to do with sound.
The old cave carvers and canyons still generate, combining with the noise caves to form interesting cave systems
As with carvers, noise caves form cave entrances where they intersect the surface
An aquifer is an area with local water level, independent of sea level
Aquifers are used during world generation to generate bodies of water inside noise caves
This sometimes results in large underground lakes
They can also form inside mountains and on the surface
Aquifers below y0 will sometimes be lava aquifers instead of water aquifers
Magma Blocks sometimes generates at the bottom of underground bodies of water
Underwater cave carvers and underwater canyons have been removed, since aquifers are used to generate water in caves instead

SPRINTING

Previously, any collision with a block would reduce sprinting to walking. Now, for very minor angles of collision with a block, players retain their sprint. For larger angles of collision, the old behavior is retained.

UPGRADING OF OLD WORLDS

The transition between new and old terrain is less “cliffy”
- Will surface height blend? Yes.
- Will biomes blend? Yes.
- Will caves blend? Your mileage may vary.
In old chunks, if there is any Bedrock at y=0, the sections below non-air blocks will be filled with new generation
The old Bedrock between y=0 and y=4 in old chunks gets replaced with Deepslate
A new Bedrock layer is placed at y=-64

WORLD GENERATION

Generation range and build limits have been expanded by 64 blocks up and 64 blocks down, to a total range of 384 blocks
Underground features, structures, and caves generate all the way down to y-64
Exception: Diorite, Granite, Andesite, and Dirt will not generate below y0
Tweaked size and positioning of Diorite, Andesite, and Granite generation
Dripstone clusters can no longer be found in normal caves, only in Dripstone Caves biomes
Starting from y8 and below, Deepslate gradually replaces all Stone
Deepslate blobs no longer generate above y0
The terrain shape and elevation varies dramatically, indepedently from biomes
- For example, forests and deserts could form up on a hill without needing a special biome just for that
Less Diorite, Granite, and Andesite generates above y 60
Strips of Gravel can generate in stony shores
Swamp trees can grow in water 2 blocks deep (instead of just 1 block deep)
Removed water lake features, aquifers provide local water levels
A bunch of biome variants with simular features but different shapes have been merged into one, since the shape is controlled independently now
Renamed some biomes
Geodes now only generate up to height 30

TECHNICAL

Added an accessibility option to stop the sky from flashing during thunderstorms
Added fall_from_height and ride_entity_distance advancement triggers
Changed nether_travel to match other similar triggers
Added an option to specify the audio device used by the game
Replaced light and barrier particles with block_marker
Replaced the clientbound chunk update network packet with another one that additionally contains light update data
- The separate light update packet still exists and is sent when a light update happens without a chunk update
New video setting called “Chunk Builder”
Changed the prioritization order of the chunk rendering pipeline
- Unrendered chunk holes in the world should not appear anymore while flying fast with high render distance
View distance now causes chunks to load cylindrically around players instead of in a square
Added “Toggle Sprint” and “Toggle Sneak” to the Controls settings
Moved Keybinds out to their own settings screen, accessible from Controls
Information about the world generation noise is now displayed on the debug screen
Added illageralt, rune-like font from Minecraft Dungeons (currently only usable via commands)
Added startup option --jfrProfile and command jfr to start profiling with Java Flight Recorder as well as a few custom events
Loot table functions set_contents and set_loot_table now require a type field with a valid block entity type
Added new loot table function set_potion
The maximum amount of background threads are increased
Worlds last saved before Minecraft 1.2 (pre “Anvil”) can no longer be opened directly
Data pack format has been increased to 8
Resource pack format has been increased to 8
--report option in data generator now creates reference files for the entirety of the worldgen, instead of just the biomes
Removed length limits for scoreboard, score holder, and team names
Standalone server.jar now bundles contains individual libraries instead of being flat archive
Size limit for server resource packs has been increased to 250 MB
Servers can now set property hide-online-players to true in order to not send a player list on status requests
New setting called “Simulation Distance”
Mob spawners can now override light checks for spawning
Added telemetry for world loading

ADVANCEMENTS

CHANGED TRIGGERS

NETHER_TRAVEL

entered condition is renamed to start_position
exited has been removed since it was identical to player.location

NEW TRIGGERS

FALL_FROM_HEIGHT

Triggered when a player lands after falling
Conditions:
- player - a player for which this trigger runs
- start_position - a location predicate for the last position before the falling started
- distance - a predicate for the distance between start_position and the player

RIDE_ENTITY_IN_LAVA

Triggered for every tick when a player rides in lava
Conditions
- player - a player for which this trigger runs
- start_position - a position where the riding started (first tick on lava)
- distance - a predicate for the distance between start_position and the player

CHUNK BUILDER SETTING

This setting determines if chunk sections are updated immediately during a single frame, or asynchronously using threads
“Fully Blocking” corresponds to the previous way chunks were updated, which prevents potential visual gaps when blocks are destroyed
“Threaded” will significantly reduce stutters when blocks are placed or destroyed (especially with light sources), however brief visual gaps may rarely occur
“Semi Blocking” is the middle-option, and will only immediately update chunks that are deemed important, otherwise updates occur asynchronously using threads

JAVA 17

Minecraft now uses Java version 17. If you are using a default setup, the Launcher will download and install the correct version. If you are using a custom Java setup, or a third-party launcher, you will need to ensure that your Java installation is version 17 or above.

JFR PROFILING

CUSTOM EVENTS

All events are enabled when starting the profiling using either jfr start command or --jfrProfile startup flag.
If profiling is started through any other means for monitoring purposes, only the ServerTickTime, LoadWorld and NetworkSummary are included by default.

minecraft.ServerTickTime: periodic event (1 second intervals) exposing average server tick times
minecraft.NetworkSummary: periodic event (10 second intervals) reporting total packet sizes and counts per connection
minecraft.PacketReceived | minecraft.PacketSent: network traffic
minecraft.ChunkGeneration: time taken to generate individual chunk stages
minecraft.LoadWorld: initial world loading duration

OVERVIEW

Java Flight Recorder (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/328) is the internal JVM profiling tool bundled with the Java Runtime to analyze performance and runtime characteristics.
It’s a useful tool for exposing internal JVM performance metrics as well as custom metrics that can be monitored or analyzed using any stock Java profiler or monitoring agents.

PROFILING LIFECYCLE

A profiling run can be started using any of the following alternatives:
The run will then be stopped either by:

--jfrProfile startup flag when starting a Minecraft server or client
jfr start in-game command
Regular Java CLI tools such as jcmd
shutting down the JVM
jfr stop in-game command
jcmd CLI tool

REPORTS

A summary JSON report is written both to the log file and in the debug folder accompanied by a .jfr recording ready to be analyzed in i.e JMC https://github.com/openjdk/jmc or any other profiler tool supporting the format.

LOOT TABLES

CHANGED FUNCTIONS

SET_CONTENTS, SET_LOOT_TABLE

Added new mandatory field type. This type will be written into BlockEntityTag.id, to make sure that this tag can be correctly migrated between versions.

NEW FUNCTIONS

SET_POTION

Sets the Potion tag on any item

Parameters:

id - potion id

MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF BACKGROUND THREADS INCREASED

Various background tasks including worldgen are executed on a background thread pool
The default thread pool size equals the amount of available CPU threads, minus one
The upper thread pool limit has been raised from 7 to 255, which should help higher-end machines with improved world-gen performance
The upper limit can be overridden via the max.bg.threads Java system property, for example when running multiple servers on a single machine

MOB SPAWNING

Monster spawning limits are now per-player, rather than global for each dimension

OLD WORLD CONVERSION

Worlds last saved before Minecraft 1.2 (pre “Anvil”) now require conversion in a previous version of the game to be able to be opened
We recommend that you upgrade your old version, 1.2 (pre “Anvil”) or older, to version 1.6.4 - worlds opened for the first time in later versions will have incorrect biome information

PARTICLES

BLOCK_MARKER

Renders with a texture declared in the particle slot for a model assigned to the configured block state
Is summoned with same syntax as the block particle (i.e. block_marker wheat[age=2])

RESOURCE PACK FORMAT

minecraft/textures/gui/container/inventory.png now contains an extra sprite for a thin-layout version of the effect list in the inventory

SERVER BUNDLING

server.jar now bundles individual libraries instead of merging all the files into a single archive
This change is meant to solve certain problems related to Java modules
On startup, server.jar will unpack libraries into a directory configured by bundlerRepoDir (default: working directory)
To run a different main class other than the server, use the bundlerMainClass property (for example java -DbundlerMainClass=net.minecraft.data.Main -jar server.jar --reports) or unpack the jar manually and use the contents of META-INF/classpath-joined for command line
If bundlerMainClass is empty, the program will just validate and extract files, and will then exit
Server classes are now signed

SIMULATION DISTANCE SETTING

A new slider which is available under video settings
Entities, blocks, and fluids will not be updated outside of simulation distance
Allows higher render distance with less CPU load
There’s also a new simulation-distance property in the dedicated server properties

SPAWNER DATA CHANGES

Example:

SpawnData: {
    entity: {
        id: "minecraft:cow"
    },
    custom_spawn_rules: {
          sky_light_limit: {min_inclusive: 10, max_inclusive: 15}
    },
}
SpawnPotentials: [
  {
    data: {
      custom_spawn_rules: {
          block_light_limit: {min_inclusive: 0, max_inclusive: 15}
      },
      entity: {id: "minecraft:pig"},

      },
      entity: {id: "minecraft:panda"}
    },
    weight: 1
  }
]

Spawners now support the custom_spawn_rules NBT in the SpawnData field and the SpawnPotentials list
custom_spawn_rules currently may contain fields block_light_limit and sky_light_limit - both are integer ranges with fields min_inclusive and max_inclusive
To make SpawnPotentials format similar to other weighted lists, structure was changed to {weight: <int>, data: <previous contents without 'Weight', 'Entity' renamed to 'entity'>}
To accomodate that change, previous contents of SpawnData were moved to SpawnData.entity (making format of that field same as elements of SpawnPotentials.data)

TELEMETRY

In this release, we are re-introducing diagnostic tracking, which was part of Minecraft: Java Edition until 2018. We are bringing it back to better understand our players and to improve their experience. Specifically this information will help us prioritise various aspects of development and identify pain points. All data is treated according to GDPR and CCPA best practices and is used to develop a better-performing and generally more enjoyable Minecraft: Java Edition.

At this point, the only implemented event is world load

WORLD LOAD EVENT

Sent when loading singleplayer world or connecting to multiplayer server
Contains following information:
- launcher identifier
- user identitifer (XUID)
- client session id (changes on restart)
- world session id (changes per world load, to be reused for later events)
- game version
- operating system name and version
- Java runtime version
- if client or server is modded (same information as on crash logs)
- server type (single player, Realms or other)
- game mode

WORLD DATA: CHUNK FORMAT

Removed chunk’s Level and moved everything it contained up
Chunk’s Level.Entities has moved to entities
Chunk’s Level.TileEntities has moved to block_entities
Chunk’s Level.TileTicks and Level.ToBeTicked have moved to block_ticks
Chunk’s Level.LiquidTicks and Level.LiquidsToBeTicked have moved to fluid_ticks
Chunk’s Level.Sections has moved to sections
Chunk’s Level.Structures has moved to structures
Chunk’s Level.Structures.Starts has moved to structures.starts
Chunk’s Level.Sections[].BlockStates and Level.Sections[].Palette have moved to a container structure in sections[].block_states
Chunk’s Level.Biomes are now paletted and live in a similar container structure in sections[].biomes
Chunk’s Level.CarvingMasks[] is now long[] instead of byte[]
Added yPos the minimum section y position in the chunk
Added below_zero_retrogen containing data to support below zero generation
Added blending_data containing data to support blending new world generation with existing chunks

WORLD GENERATION

Bedrock layers now generate dependent on the world seed
New random number generator for overworld generation

Minecraft: Java Edition - 1.18.2 CHANGES IN 1.18.2TECHNICAL CHANGES IN 1.18.2FIXED BUGS IN 1.18.2GET THE RELEASE

October 7, 2022

Additionally, this version contains compliance updates for South Korean players.

Enjoy!

CHANGES IN 1.18.2

Users running Minecraft in a 32-bit environment will receive a warning in the main menu about the upcoming end of 32-bit environment support
If you’re playing in South Korea, we added gameplay timers and notices in compliance with gaming laws to help remind players to take occasional breaks from gameplay
A seed of the number zero is no longer handled as a special case
Any spaces before/after an inputted seed will now be trimmed
Dolphins will now more accurately pick the closest structure regardless of type
Ender chests are no longer gift wrapped around Christmas

TECHNICAL CHANGES IN 1.18.2

Added command: placefeature
The locate command now uses a namespaced id parameter
The locate command parameter is now a configured structure rather than a structure type. For instance, you can now use /locate village_desert or /locate shipwreck_beached
locate and locatebiome commands now support tags (prefix with # to distinguish from normal ids)
It is now possible to add custom structures in experimental datapacks
A lot of the cave generation is now configurable through experimental datapacks
Any type present in registries (blocks, items, biomes, etc.) can now have tags
The datapack version is now 9

PLACEFEATURE COMMAND

New command that places a configured feature at a given location. Syntax: placefeature <id> [pos]
Parameters:

id: The namespaced id of a configured feature to place
pos: The position to use as the origin for the feature placement (if omitted, ~ ~ ~ is used)

CONFIGURABLE CAVES

A new registry was added for Density functions (caves are created by combining those together)
Noise settings got a new field noise_router (and lost a couple of flags), see worldgen/noise_settings folder in the worldgen report
Noise router wires data-driven parts of the cave generation with the rest of the code

CONFIGURED STRUCTURES AND STRUCTURE SETS

The game now generates and stores data-driven configured structures.

Experimental datapacks can add new structure sets
The feature field in location predicates now references a configured feature
The exploration_map loot table function destination field is now a configured feature tag id
The exploration_map loot table function no longer automatically sets the display name of the map

UNIVERSAL TAGS

Tags can now be defined for any registry (blocks, items, biomes, etc. - see registries.json in report)
New tags are stored in datapacks under tags directory (same as old ones)
- Names of new tag directories are the same as registry names (so /data/[namespace]/tags/potion and /data/[namespace]/tags/worldgen/biome)
- Existing tags (blocks, items, fluids, entity_types, game_events and functions) keep their name (for now)
Some fields in worldgen structures that previously accepted only lists of element ids now accept tags
- Those entries now accept [id, ...], id (shortcut for [id]) and #tag
- Changed fields are:
  - feature.glow_lichen configuration: can_be_placed_on
  - feature.spring_feature configuration: valid_blocks
  - feature.simple_random_selector configuration: features
  - block_predicate_type.matching_blocks: blocks
  - block_predicate_type.matching_fluids: fluids
  - biome: inner list in features, map value in carvers
  - biome_source.checkerboard: biomes
Some tag fields now require id to be prepended with # (however they are not yet accepting element list)
- dimension_type: infiniburn
- feature.geode configration: blocks.cannot_replace, blocks.invalid_blocks
- feature.vegetation_patch, feature.waterlogged_vegetation_patch configuration: replaceable
- feature.root_system configuration: root_replaceable
- structure_processor.protected_blocks: value

FIXED BUGS IN 1.18.2

In addition to crashes and other stability improvements, around 100 player-reported bugs were fixed in this release. View the list on the issue tracker.

MANGROVE SWAMP

Muddy! Murky! Magnificent! Welcome to Minecraft’s newest biome - the Mangrove Swamp

Located in warmer, more humid places where you’d normally find Swamp biomes in Minecraft
Here you can find Bees and Warm Frogs
The floor of this biome is coated with a thick layer of Mud
Have a nice boat ride under and around the larger-than-life roots of Mangrove trees
Mud generates all the way from the surface down to Stone
Tall Mangroves are far more common than Short Mangroves

MANGROVE TREES

Introducing a new type of water-adapted trees that spawn propped up on roots

Have a chance of spawning a Bee Nest
Grows from Mangrove Propagules
Moss Carpet generates on top of the tree’s roots

MANGROVE WOOD BLOCKS

Added a new type of wood: Mangrove!

Mangrove Log and Stripped Mangrove Log
Mangrove Wood and Stripped Mangrove Wood
Mangrove Roots and Muddy Mangrove Roots
Mangrove Boat, Button, Pressure Plate, Door, Trapdoor, Sign, Slab, Fence, Fence Gate, and Stairs

MANGROVE LEAVES AND PROPAGULES

Mangrove Propagule is a type of sapling that grows from the bottom of Mangrove Leaves
Bonemealing Mangrove Leaves will cause a new Propagule to start growing beneath it
Propagules grow through 4 stages, and growth can be accelerated by bonemealing
You can break off a fully grown Propagule and plant it like a sapling
Propagules can be placed and grow on all normal blocks normal saplings support, plus Mud and Clay
Propagules can be grown underwater
The Wandering Trader will now sometimes offer Propagules for sale

MUD

Mud is a block that will generate in the upcoming Mangrove biome
When walking on Mud, entities slightly sink down into it like Soul Sand
- Unlike Soul Sand, no slowdown effect will be applied
Mud can be created by using a water bottle on dirt, by hand or with a Dispenser
Packed Mud can be crafted from Mud

MUD BRICKS

Mud Bricks are a building block that can be crafted from Packed Mud
Mud Bricks can be crafted into Mud Brick Stairs, Walls, and Slabs using a Crafting Table or Stonecutter

CLAY RENEWABILITY

Placing Mud above a block that has pointed Dripstone underneath will eventually turn the Mud Block into Clay

FROGS

Frogs can spawn in Swamps and Mangrove Swamps on Grass, Mud, Mangrove Roots, and Muddy Mangrove Roots
Frogs can croak
Frogs can walk on land, swim and jump
Frogs can eat small Slimes, causing a Slime Ball to drop
Frogs can eat small Magma Cubes, causing a Froglight block to drop
Each Frog variant drops a specific Froglight Block
Added three Froglight blocks, a type of light source blocks

TADPOLES

Tadpoles can swim in water
Tadpoles on land “jump around” like fishes on land, and eventually dies
Tadpoles that grows up turns into a Frog
Tadpoles grow into a different type of frog based on the biome they grow up in (Cold, Temperate, Warm)
Tadpoles can be caught in a bucket

DEEP DARK BIOME

Dig into the depths far underground to uncover the darkest biome in Minecraft - the Deep Dark.

Dimly lit and eerie, the Deep Dark is sure to strike fear into the hearts of even the most brave player
Less flooded than surrounding areas
The floor of the Deep Dark is covered in sculk
No mobs spawn in the Deep Dark

ANCIENT CITY

Wander the halls of these long-abandoned structures in the Deep Dark depths to uncover some relics long forgotten.

Ancient City structures spawn in Deep Dark biomes
In chests, guarded by Sculk Sensors and Sculk Shriekers, you can find the new Swift Sneaking enchantment
You can also find a new mysterious block called Reinforced Deepslate here, which cannot be obtained in Survival
Mobs cannot spawn in Ancient Cities

DARKNESS

A new mob effect applied to nearby players by the Warden and Sculk Shrieker
Lowers the gamma to an equivalent of “Moody” while having this effect
In periodic pulses, will lower the overall brightness of the world so that the darkness creeps up towards light sources
The icon for the Darkness effect is only shown in the inventory
A new Accessibility slider has been added in your Options menu called “Darkness Effect”
- Controls strength of the Darkness lighting effect
- Does not affect the fog distance

MUSIC DISC 5

A new music disc has been added to the game

Unlike other discs, it can only be obtained by finding and crafting 9 Disc Fragments together
These Disc Fragments can be found rarely in Ancient City Chests

RECOVERY COMPASS

A new Recovery Compass can be crafted with Echo Shards, another new item which can only be found in Ancient City Chests

Unlike a normal Compass, the Recovery Compass will point to the last place you died
If you are not in the dimension you last died, or you haven’t died yet in your world, it will spin randomly
It can be crafted with 1 Compass surrounded by 8 Echo Shards, which can be found in Ancient Cities

SWIFT SNEAK

Imbue your leggings with this shiny new enchantment to move as fast while crouching as you would normally walk!

When applied, it will increase your movement speed while sneaking
Has 3 different levels with different speed increases
It is the first enchantment unique to leggings equipment!

SCULK

The rattling tendrils of the Sculk Sensors had to come from somewhere, right? Introducing sculk, a new family of blocks that dwells in the Deep Dark.

Added Sculk Catalyst Block, a mysteriously soul-emitting block that blooms with Sculk patches underneath nearby dying mobs
- Mobs that perish in the presence of the Sculk Catalyst will not drop their experience
Added Sculk Blocks
- When a mob dies near a Sculk Catalyst, some unknown process seems to consume blocks beneath and turn them into Sculk Blocks
- A Sculk charge that spreads has a chance to consume some of its charge to grow a Sculk Sensor or Sculk Shrieker
- Sculk Blocks have very low blast resistance
Added Sculk Vein Blocks
- These veins are found on the edge of Sculk patches
- Similar to Glow Lichen, they can be placed in any orientation
- Spreading of veins causes other blocks to be taken over by the sculk
- Sculk Vein can spread underwater
Added Sculk Shrieker Block
- Sculk Shriekers can be found growing rarely from the charge of a Sculk Catalyst
- Sculk Shrieker can be waterlogged
- Notable for its boney appendages, this block responds to Sculk Sensors detecting vibrations by sending out a warning call to distant Wardens
  - Watch out when stepping on them, as they will feel that too and send out a call!
- Initially it may take some time for a Warden to arrive, but you’ll hear it responding in the distance…
- Once it’s close enough, a call from the Sculk Shrieker will summon the Warden nearby - be prepared!
Souls from mobs will spread through Sculk Veins and Sculk Blocks in random directions until they find a valid substrate they can feed off of
- The charge from souls in the Sculk Blocks and Sculk Veins will eventually decay, but it will decay slower within close vicinity of the Sculk Catalyst and faster when further away from its host
- If the charge is dropped outside the range of the Catalyst, it has a chance of growing a Sculk Sensor
Sculk, Sculk Veins, and Sculk Catalysts require Silk Touch to acquire
- If mined without Silk Touch, they will drop experience instead
The efficient tool for all Sculk family blocks is the Hoe

WARDEN

The horror of the Deep Dark! A creature with no eyes, roughly resembling the Sculk that can be found throughout the Deep Dark, the Warden is an unstoppable force of nature that inhabits this biome. Wardens are powerful creatures, and it is often better to sneak around one that has emerged instead of taking it head on - you have been warned.

Just like Sculk Sensors, these terrifying creatures use vibrations as a means to navigate their environment
When vibrations aren’t enough, they will also use a sense of smell to track down their prey - you can observe them sniffing their surroundings to get closer to unsuspecting players and mobs
If something gets too close, it will be noticed
In the Deep Dark, Wardens can appear anywhere
- When enough Sculk Shriekers have been alerted to your presence, a Warden will appear
The more vibrations a Warden detects, the more angry it will get
- You can hear and see this from how fast the souls in its chest are beating
Once a mob has pushed beyond the Warden’s anger threshold, it will face its prey and roar before charging
Building up high, hiding behind walls or being out of range of their powerful melee attack will cause Wardens to switch to their ranged attack
- Their rib cages will open up to shriek a sonically charged ranged attack that can penetrate walls
- This attack bypasses protection for armor and shield
If, however, you keep the Warden from noticing you or getting angry for 60 seconds, it will dig back underground and despawn
- If the Warden is stuck in a liquid, it will despawn instead of digging
They have a special interaction with thrown projectiles
- If the Warden receives two projectile vibrations within 5 seconds of one another, it will grow angrier at the shooter
- If the Warden receives a projectile vibration more than 5 seconds from the last projectile, it will not grow angrier at the shooter
- This allows you to strategically distract the Warden without it getting angry while you take loot from nearby chests
Wardens will also disable shields when they hit them with their fists
They drop a Sculk Catalyst upon death

CHANGES TO VIBRATIONS

Carpets, like Wool Blocks, will now dampen the vibrations caused by their placing, breaking, or dropping as items
Carpets now also dampen the vibrations caused by running and jumping over them
item_interact_start and item_interact_finish vibrations are ignored if sneaking

ALLAY

Allays will collect all the surrounding items that match the item they are holding
Allays will like a player who hands them an item and will bring the items they collect to their liked player
If the Allay hears a Note Block play, that Note Block becomes the Allay’s favorite Note Block for 30 seconds
- The Allay will stay near that Note Block for that duration and bring its collected items to Note Block instead of to the player
Interacting with an Allay with an empty hand will remove the item the Allay is holding
Allays can be found at Pillager Outposts and in Woodland Mansions
Allays are immune to damage from their liked player
Allays have a natural health regen of 2 health per second

BOAT WITH CHEST

Lets you bring more stuff on your boat adventures
If you are in the Boat, press the open inventory key to access the Chest contents
If you are not in the Boat, sneak and use your interact key to access the Chest contents
If you break the Boat the Chest contents will spill out, like with other Chests
Also works with Hoppers, Droppers, and other blocks that interact with Chests
Like other Chests, opening a Boat with Chest or breaking the Boat will anger Piglins, since they think all Chests belong to them

GOAT HORNS

A Goat Horn drops when a Goat rams a tree or any other hard block that occurs naturally where Goats spawn (Log, Stone, Packed Ice, Iron Ore, Copper Ore, or Emerald Ore)
- Other solid blocks are unfamiliar to the goat, so it won’t ram them
Use the Goat Horn to play a loud sound that can be heard from afar
Each Goat Horn has its own sound based on the Goat it originated from
There are 8 Goat Horn variants, 4 of them exclusive to Screaming Goats
Goat Horns can sometimes be found in Pillager Outposts

ADVANCEMENTS

Added “It Spreads” for killing a mob near a Sculk Catalyst
Added “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” for having an Allay deliver items to you
Added “Birthday Song” for having an Allay drop a Cake at a Note Block
Added “With our Powers Combined” for having all Froglights in your inventory
Added “Bukkit Bukkit” for catching a Tadpole in a Bucket
Added “From Dirt to Mud” for using a Water Bottle on Dirt
Added “When the Squad Hops into Town” for getting each Frog variant on a Lead
Added “Sneak 100” for sneaking near a Sculk Sensor or Warden to prevent it detecting you
Added Darkness effect to the “How Did We Get Here?” advancement

PREDICTABILITY OF RANDOMIZED EVENTS

Some randomized events are now more predictable and no longer have a possibility of extreme behaviors:

Placement and velocity of things dropped from Droppers/Dispensers
Placement and velocity of items spawned from containers upon destroy
Randomized follow_range component attribute for mobs
Velocity of Horses spawned from Skeleton Traps
Blaze random position and randomized speed of Blaze projectiles
Randomized portion of damage and velocity of Arrows
Randomized flight pattern of Fireworks
Bobbing patterns and time until a Fish appears for Fishing Rods

FOUR NEW MUSIC TRACKS

The new music tracks are called Ancestry, Aerie, Firebugs, and Labyrinthine
They play in certain biomes

MINECART VARIANTS

The recipes for minecart with Chest/Furnace/TNT/Hopper are now shapeless
When broken each Minecart variant drops itself as item, instead of splitting into two items (such as Chest and Minecart)

MONSTER SPAWNING

Endermen, Skeletons, Wither Skeletons and Piglins now spawn in a wider range of light levels in the Nether (from light level 0 to 11)
- This makes it possible for more types of mobs to spawn inside Nether Portals, which causes them to instantly change dimensions after spawning
- Our intent for the future is to prevent most mobs from spawning in Nether Portals and the ones that do will not immediately travel through the portal - expect to see these changes in a coming version

TECHNICAL

ADVANCEMENTS

NEW TRIGGERS

ALLAY_DROP_ITEM_ON_BLOCK
Triggered when an Allay drops an item on a block
Conditions:
- player - a predicate for the player who gave the Allay the item to collect
- location - a predicate for the block that the item was dropped on
- item - a predicate for the item that was dropped

`AVOID_VIBRATION`

Triggered when a vibration event is ignored because the source player is holding the sneak key
Conditions:
- player - a player for which this trigger runs

`KILL_MOB_NEAR_SCULK_CATALYST`

Triggered when a player kills an entity next to a Sculk Catalyst
Conditions:
- player - a predicate for the player killing the entity
- entity - a predicate for the entity that was killed
- killing_blow - a predicate for how the entity was killed

`THROWN_ITEM_PICKED_UP_BY_PLAYER`

Triggered when a player picks up an item that was thrown by an entity
Conditions:
- player - a predicate for the player picking up the item
- entity - a predicate for the entity that threw the item
- item - a predicate for the item

BLENDING

Blending now supports 3D biome blending, which blends the underground biomes as well as the overground biomes
Removed blending_data.old_noise, now existence of blending_data in chunk data determines if a chunk is considered old
Added blending_data.min_section and blending_data.max_section that determines which section data that will be used for blending

CHAT PREVIEW

Servers can enable Chat Preview by setting previews-chat=true in server.properties
Custom servers can enable or disable chat preview for certain clients by sending a new network packet
When enabled, a server-controlled preview appears above the chat edit box, showing how the message will look when sent
- A preview is also shown for chat-related commands, such as /say and /msg
This can be used by servers to preview messages with styling applied, such as emojis or chat coloring
Chat Preview sends chat messages to the server as they are typed, even before they’re sent
- The server then sends back the styled preview in real time
- This allows servers to apply dynamic message stylings while still allowing chat to be securely signed
A warning screen is shown on the client when joining a server with Chat Preview, and it can be globally disabled in Chat Settings

CHAT TYPES

Different chat style formats can now be controlled by the server through the chat_type registry
- These are synchronized to clients when they join the server
- The translation key or translation format can be defined, like chat.type.text or %s says: "%s"
  - Chat can be similarly optionally narrated with a custom translation key or format
- The entire message can have formatting applied, such as italics or a specific color (but currently not click or hover events)

COMMANDS

`PLACE`

New command that replaces placefeature and can place features, jigsaws, structures, and templates at a given location. Syntax:

place feature <feature> [pos]
place jigsaw <pool> <start> <depth> [pos]
place structure <structure> [pos]
place template <template> [pos] [rotation] [mirror] [integrity] [seed]

Parameters:

place feature works like placefeature used to work
place jigsaw works like using the generate button in the UI of a Jigsaw Block
place template works like using the load button in the UI of a Structure Block
place structure generates a full structure, matching how structures generate during world generation
feature: The namespaced id of a configured feature to try to place
structure: The namespaced id of a structure to try to generate
template: The namespaced id of a template (“structure block file”) to load and place
pool: The namespaced id of a template pool to start generating
start: The namespaced id name of a jigsaw to use as the starting anchor
depth: The maximum number of jigsaw connections to traverse during placement
pos: The position to use as the origin for the generation (if omitted, ~ ~ ~ is used)
rotation: The rotation to apply (if omitted, none is used)
mirror: The mirroring to apply (if omitted, none is used)
integrity: The structure integrity value between 0 and 1
seed: The seed to use for the randomized degradation when integrity is less than 1

DEBUG

Added a heap memory allocation metric to the F3 debug screen
Added estimated GPU utilization percentage to performance profiling metrics and the F3 debug screen
- This is only available for graphics devices that support GPU timer queries
Removed the debug hotkey that cycles the render distance

GAME EVENTS

ADDED EVENTS

teleport with a vibration frequency of 5
note_block_play with a vibration frequency of 6
instrument_play with a vibration frequency of 15

COMBINED EVENTS

The following events have been collapsed into block_activate and block_deactivate:

block_press
block_unpress
block_switch
block_unswitch

OTHER CHANGES

Other miscellaneous changes to game events:

ring_bell has been removed and replaced with block_change
Both shulker_open and shulker_close have been removed in favour of using container_open and container_close
fishing_rod_cast and fishing_rod_reel_in have been renamed to item_interact_start and item_interact_finish
item_interact_start is not detectable as a vibration to allow more specific actions be detected, like drink or eat, but item_interact_finish is
entity_interact should be dispatched more often when interacting with various mobs
Added the dampens_vibrations block tag that that includes all Wool and Wool Carpet blocks, to indicate blocks that will not trigger when placed, broken, or stepped on
Renamed item tag occludes_vibration_signals to dampens_vibrations item tag as well

RENAMED EVENTS

Some game events have been renamed, with some of those changes to make them more gramatically consistent:

drinking_finish -> drink
entity_killed -> entity_die
entity_damaged -> entity_damage
elytra_free_fall -> elytra_glide
mob_interact -> entity_interact
ravager_roar -> entity_roar
wolf_shaking -> entity_shake

GAME RULES

Added doWardenSpawning game rule

LOOT TABLES

NEW FUNCTIONS

`SET_INSTRUMENT`

Sets the item tags needed for instrument items to a randomly selected instrument from a tag
Parameters:

options - a tag reference specifying the instrument options to randomly pick from

MULTIPLAYER SECURE CHAT SIGNING

Chat messages between players are now cryptographically signed
- The message arguments to /say, /msg, /teammsg, and /me commands are all also signed
Players are given a Mojang provided key-pair on startup
Servers can require players to have a Mojang-signed public key by setting enforce-secure-profile=true in server.properties
- Enforcing secure profiles will prevent players without a Mojang-signed public key from connecting
- By default this is set to false, allowing players to connect without a Mojang-signed public key
Static chat styling can now be controlled by the server through the chat_type registry, or with server resource packs as before
Dynamic chat styling can also be controlled by the server, although this is only signed when Chat Preview is enabled
- Clients can prefer to always show the original, signed message by enabling “Only Show Secure Chat” in Chat Settings
Chat from players still using Mojang Accounts is not signed
- Their messages will not show for players with “Only Show Secure Chat” enabled
- They may be unable to join server with the enforce-secure-profile option enabled

PACK FILTERS

Data and resource packs can have filter section in pack.mcmeta
This section has mandatory field block, which is a list of patterns (regular expressions) for namespaces and paths
If any of the files in packs are added before one with filter, the section will match any pattern inside block, and it will then be filtered out (i.e. treated as if it wasn’t present in the first place)
filter section does not apply to a pack containing it - only to packs loaded before it
Both namespace and path can be omitted
- Missing field matches every value
For example, adding a pack with this section in pack.mcmeta after the vanilla pack will hide all the recipes and advancements defined by the vanilla pack

EXAMPLE

"filter": {
    "block": [
        {
            "namespace": "minecraft",
            "path": "recipes/.*"
        },
        {
            "namespace": "minecraft",
            "path": "advancements/.*"
        }
    ]
