  • if there are multiple elements, merges them with ,

COMMANDS

• type field in @ selectors now accepts entity type tags (type=#fooand type=!#bar)
• Item frame contents can now be modified with /replaceitem

DATA

• data modify <block or entity> <path> <operation> <source>

    • value <nbt> - uses NBT literal

EXECUTE

• mine <mining location> [tool <item>|mainhand|offhand] - simulates block drops

TARGETS

• spawn <position> - drops in world
• replace - works similar to /replaceitem. If count is missing, command will try to place all returned items. If count is higher than number of items, remaining slots will be cleared.
  • entity <entity selector> <start slot> [<count>] - replaces range of slots.
  • block <position> <start slot> [<count>] - replaces range of slots.

  • Note: this also works with root object: {} is valid path for referencing root object
• Allow negative indices in [index] to select element from end (i.e. [-1] is last element, [-2] second to last, etc)
• Add [] to select all elements from list

Usually finding out something you love is now full of bees is bad news (your cat, parents, self, etc). We hope you find the abundance of bees now buzzing merrily in Minecraft: Java Edition a delightful exception! Along with the Buzzy Bees, you'll also find honeycomb, honeycomb blocks, honey blocks, the honey bottle, bee nests and beehives and absolutely no cats full of bees. Actually, I'm just gonna quickly double-check that last one...

Enjoy!

BEE

We’re buzzing with excitement!
Can someone tell Cory to stop making bee puns now?

• Bees are cute, fuzzy, neutral mobs
• Don’t hurt them, they don’t want to hurt you
• If a bee does sting you, it will leave its stinger in you and eventually die, dropping nothing :(
• Bees love pretty flowers and spend their lives gathering pollen from them
• After gathering pollen, bees fly back to their home nest
• Bees help you by growing crops while carrying pollen back to the nest
• Bees like sharing the location of their favorite flowers with other bees
• If a bee doesn’t have a home nest, it will wander around until it finds one it can use
• Bees don’t like the rain and they sleep at night. They will go back to the nest in these cases
• Bees can be bred using flowers
• If a bee can’t find nectar, after a while it will return home for a bit
• Bees try to avoid water
• Bees go inside if it’s raining at all in the world, not just where the bee is located
• Bees will search up to 10 blocks away from itself in all directions to find a nest/hive to call home

BEE NESTS / BEEHIVES

In real life, bees dance in their nests to show other bees where flowers are!

• Bee nests spawn naturally in flower forests, plains, and sunflower plains biomes
• When a bee visits this block and completes its journey undisturbed, the level of honey increases
• Max of 5 levels of honey
• Level 5 is quite…sticky
• Bees use nests and hives to share flower locations with other bees
• Sometimes bees that already know about a flower will choose not to use this information
• Beehives are crafted by players using honeycomb and wood planks
• Use a silk touch tool to get the block with the bees stored inside
• Bee nests will be destroyed unless you use silk touch
• Use shears when at full honey to get honeycomb
• Use a bottle when at full honey to get a honey bottle
• Campfire smoke calms bees - place one underneath the nest/hive to keep them in chill mode
• Redstone-friendly!
• Bees like bee nests and beehives the same amount! They don’t play favorites :)
• Bees only exit through the front of the nest/hive

HONEY BLOCK

Sticky. Very sticky!

• Walking and jumping is limited
• If you stand on a honey block that is pushed by a piston, you come along for the ride
• Jump into a wall of honey blocks to slide down and slow your fall
• Landing on a honey block cushions your fall somewhat
• When a honey block is pushed or pulled by a piston, it sticks to adjacent blocks and tries to move them in the same direction (just like slime blocks do)
• Honey blocks and slime blocks don’t stick to each other, because… um… because of special Minecraft chemistry
• Mobs and animals dislike walking on honey blocks unless they really need to as it’s too sticky for their comfort
• Honey blocks are crafted from four honey bottles

HONEY BOTTLE

Organic, gluten-free, delicious locally-farmed honey!

• Use an empty glass bottle on a hive or nest that is full of honey to get a bottle of honey!
• Drink it!
• ???
• Profit!
• Oh yeah, also craft it into sugar!
• Or craft four bottles into a honey block!
• Drinking honey also cures poison

Parameters

• block - source of properties (block id)
• properties - list of property names. All must be present on block

MODDING

In an effort to help make modding the game easier, we have decided to publish our game obfuscation maps with all future releases of the game. This means that anyone who is interested may deobfuscate the game and find their way around the code without needing to spend a few months figuring out what’s what. It is our hope that mod authors and mod framework authors use these files to augment their updating processes that they have today. These mappings will always be available, instantly and immediately as part of every newly released version. This does not, however, change the existing restrictions on what you may or may not do with our game code or assets. The links to the obfuscation mappings are included as part of the version manifest json, and may be automatically pulled for any given version.
Prefixed to every obfuscation map is the following legal disclaimer:

PARTICLE PERFORMANCE

• Vertically moving particles are performing better when they collide with blocks

PISTONS

BUG FIX

• Blocks that can be manually placed on farmland can now also be pushed onto it by a piston without destroying the farmland

RESOURCE PACKS

• The resource pack version is now 5
• The game now tries to make out of date resource packs work as much as possible
• Increased sizelimit for client downloading resource packs from 50MB to 100MB

STATE MATCHING

Few advancements and loot table predicates that used block state properties (location, block_state_property, enter_block, placed_block) can now match ranges (by replacing single value with {"min": ..., "max": ...}).
Also, block type is now optional in those predicates - so for example it is not possible to match any crop with age property in certain range.

TEXTURES

• Changed texture map for all chests
• Banner and shield patterns are now using alpha channel instead of brightness
• Ender Dragon does not have separate texture for the bottom of the wing anymore
• Enchanted item glint texture is now like it looks in the game

COMMAND USED TO CHANGE THE PATTERNS

• for f in *.png; do convert "$f" -alpha copy tmp.png && composite tmp.png -compose copy-opacity ../shield_base.png tmp2.png && convert tmp2.png -fill "rgba(0,1,0,1)" -draw "rectangle 0,0 1,63" -draw "rectangle 2,0 63,1" -draw "rectangle 2,22 64,64" -draw "rectangle 12,2 64,64" -fill none -draw "matte 0,0 floodfill" tmp3.png && mv tmp3.png "$f" && rm tmp.png tmp2.png; done
