TELEMETRY

This release includes the WorldUnloaded event, a required event, as well as several opt-in events. Diagnostic tracking is a tool that helps us understand what you like about Minecraft, which allows us to make those things better.

The reason that WorldUnloaded, along withWorldLoaded, is a required event is that the information we’re looking at is, well, required. As a part of Xbox, we all need to follow a standard of practice, you can find a detailed description of ithere. The parameters for what data we consider to be critical to our work are set by our team at Mojang Studios in alignment with Xbox.

What we want to find out is how fun you think Minecraft is. There are lots of ways to figure that out, like feedback, playtests, experience, and magic. We want to add data to that mix, which is where WorldLoaded and WorldUnloaded come in. WorldLoaded measures when you boot a session up, and WorldUnloaded measures when you shut it down. Together, they will measure how fun Minecraft is, using metrics such as playtime and the game modes that players choose to play. That’s it. All the data we collect, whether it’s required or opt-in, follows GDPR and CCPA best practices to keep your information safe.

The rest of the current telemetry events are opt-in, which means that you can choose whether or not you want to send us additional data. The only players that can’t opt-in are Microsoft child accounts, but everyone can still send in all of their feedback tofeedback.minecraft.net.

Just like all the thoughts and comments we get from you on our feedback site, this is something that greatly helps us improve Minecraft. We want to make a game that you want to play, so we want to know what that game needs. Even if it’s more lava.

TRANSPARENCY

• Added Telemetry Data Collection Screen
  • This screen displays information about the type of data that is sent
  • The level of data sent can be controlled between "Minimal" and "All"
    • "Minimal" sends only the required data
    • "All" sends the required data, as well as optional data
  • The default data level is "Minimal" (only the required data)
• Every telemetry event sent from the client is now logged to disk
  • Old log files are removed after 7 days
  • These can be found under thelogs/telemetrydirectory
    • A shortcut to this directory is available via the "Open My Data" button on the Telemetry Data Collection screen

REQUIRED EVENTS

• Added WorldUnloaded event
• Removed client Java version from the WorldLoaded event

WORLDLOADED & WORLDUNLOADED

Understanding how Minecraft is played allows us to focus game updates and improvements on the areas that are most relevant to players.The data that tells us this includes game mode, client or server modded status, and game version.

WorldLoaded & WorldUnloaded are two paired events that calculate how long the world session has lasted (in seconds and ticks).Data from WorldLoaded is sent when a world is launched, and data from WorldUnloaded is sent when a world is shut down (quitting to title, disconnecting from a server).

OPTIONAL EVENTS

• Added PerformanceMetrics and WorldLoadTimes events

PERFORMANCEMETRICS

Knowing the overall performance profile of Minecraft helps us tune and optimize the game for a wide range of machine specifications and operating systems.

The periodic performance metrics includes data such as frame-rates, rendering performance, memory usage, operating system, and the modded status of the client and server.

Game version is included to help us compare the performance profile for new versions of Minecraft.

WORLDLOADTIMES

It’s important for us to understand how long it takes to join a world, and how that changes over time. For example, when we add new features or do larger technical changes, we need to see what impact that had on load times.

This event includes the total time in milliseconds for the world to load, whether this was a new world, as well as game version and platform details.

GAME RULES

• AddedblockExplosionDropDecay,mobExplosionDropDecayandtntExplosionDropDecaygame rules
  • When set tofalse, all blocks drop loot
  • When set totrue, blocks drop loot randomly depending on how far from the explosion center

  • building
  • redstone
  • equipment
  • misc(default)
• Categories available forsmelting,blasting,smoking,campfire_cooking
  • food
  • blocks
  • misc(default)
• Some crafting books collapse multiple categories into a single tab
• The exact mappings might change in the future

RESOURCE PACKS

• The Resource Pack version is now 12
• Removed "fixers" for resource packs with versions 3 and 4 (pre-flattening)
  • The game will no longer try to adapt packs with those versions to the current version
• Game now loads all block models and blockstate definitions in appropriate directories
  • That means that if a pack has invalid model it will prevent pack from loading, even if this model is unused

TEXTURE LOADING CHANGES

• Context: When the game loads all textures used by block and item models need to be stitched (merged) into a single image, called the "atlas"
  • Individual textures that are stitched onto the atlas are called "sprites"
• To improve loading performance, block and item textures are now loaded before they are processed by block and item models
  • By default, textures not in thetextures/itemandtextures/blockdirectories will no longer be automatically recognized and will fail to load
• Resource packs can now have configuration files, located inatlasesdirectory, that control which images are included in the atlases

ATLAS CONFIGURATION FILES

• New directoryatlasesis now present for resource packs
• This directory contains JSON entries for configuring atlases:
  • blocks- textures used by block and item models
  • banner_patterns,beds,chests,shield_patterns,shulker_boxes,signs- used to render some special-case models
  • mob_effects- textures used for effect icons in the UI
  • paintings- textures used for paintings
  • particles- textures used for particles (referenced by thetexturesfield in files within theparticlesdirectory)
• If multiple packs include those files, they are merged by their order within the pack (same as tags in data packs)
• Inside these files is a JSON object with a single list calledsources
  • Every entry insourcesruns in during load, in order of definition, adding or removing new files to the texture list; to be later referenced by block models, particles, etc
• Types of sources:
  • directory- lists all files in a directory and its subdirectories, across all namespaces
    • source- directory in pack to be listed (relative totexturesdirectory)
    • prefix- string to be appended to the sprite name when loaded
  • single- adds a single file
    • resource- location of a resource within the pack (relative totexturesdirectory, implied.pngextension)
    • sprite- sprite name (optional, defaults toresource)
  • filter- removes sprites matching the given pattern
    • namespace,path- patterns (regular expressions, regex) of ids to be removed (only works for entries already in the list)
      • If omitted, any value will be matched
  • unstitch- copies rectangular regions from other images
    • resource- location of a resource within the pack (relative totexturesdirectory, implied.pngextension)
    • divisor_x,divisor_y- used for determining the units used by regions
    • regions- list of regions to copy from the source image
      • sprite- sprite name
      • x,y- coordinates of the top-left corner of the region
      • width,height- size of the region

Latest updates to simplify things and get to the point.

Hello!

We have created this frequently asked question page about the Feedback Website. If you haven't been here in a while, start here.

Note: Due to lots of interest in the Nether update and other issues, please be patient as our staff works as hard as they can to get your post through the queue as fast as possible. Thanks for understanding! How can you help make your feedback site awesome?

• Please do not file more than one post for your feedback! This will slow down things for everyone.
• A vote is the same thing as saying "I agree" or "good idea" or "yes"
• Be kind, civil, and constructive to each other. Don't presume everyone has the same game experience you do
• Similar topics should stick together
• Please don’t post about topics that have already been discussed and rejected
• Not all posts are filtered. That would be terrible. That said, a lot of things do fall in the queue. We appreciate your patience, as there are many more of you than there are of us. We are a very large and awesome community and we're all doing the best we can.
• Our moderation queue is designed to not just keep everyone safe from bad content, but to also keep duplicate posts on similar topics from overwhelming the site. Want an idea of what some of those are? Look here. 

Thank you for your patience! We know many of you put thought and care into each post you make, and we work on using the same type of care in making sure your feedback site remains a safe and productive place to get your ideas heard from by developers.

Do you still have concerns or questions? Topics here cover:

• Questions About Posting
• Logging in
• Site Features
• Questions, Problems, Further Issues

Questions about Posting or more often: "Where is my post?"

We appreciate everyone's contribution to the feedback site. The Minecraft team continues to be inspired by your thoughtful and intelligent feedback, and remember, we are people just like you.

Why is my post "pending approval"?

Is it possible you've posted something that may run against the rules (like an email address or URL) or is so commonly discussed that there's probably a similar post out there? Maybe you should check and edit your post to see if it helps.

How long will it be there? It's taking a long time.

We have multiple people on staff, but any time the Microsoft offices are closed, or a huge snapshot or patch comes out, approval will slow down. Please don't ping staff for an update!

How come that "garbage post" got approved and mine is still waiting?

Not all posts are filtered, and not all posts get caught by our automatic spam filters. Please only report a post once.

You rejected my post for no reason/It sat in pending approval and disappeared, and I wasn't notified.

The feedback site gets thousands of posts every week. You are not guaranteed an email regarding your post being rejected. Posts that are typically rejected without additional notification:

• Spam. It should be obvious, but here we are.
• Posts containing previously rejected content. Any rejected content. 
• Lists of ideas. We have been asked by our teams to make an effort to keep ideas to one main idea per post. It also helps people know exactly what they're discussing/voting for.
• Posts that contain links to any sites outside of the immediate Minecraft system (common examples include but are not limited to: Reddit, YouTube, Google Docs, Imgur, blogs, and all social media). This is for everyone's safety.
• Duplicates of highly popular topics. Look here.  The best way to get something in-game is to contribute to existing discussions. We look for quality, not quantity!
• Posts over the current character limits (75 characters for the subject, 1500 body text/comments) - we use Bing's word counter and we count spaces.
• Off-topic thread comments. People work hard on their ideas and we should respect that by staying on topic.
• Posts that contain excessive amounts of images, images that are mostly text, or contain text that is also not within the post itself. 
• Posts that are way too general - in order to take something to the team, or for the community to have something to discuss, it needs to be more than "we need more XYZ". Know exactly what you're asking for!
• Anything violating the post guidelines or personal information.
• Update/release date requests/bumps - when we have them, we'll share them!

Although we do our best to send emails to help you make better posts and be a great contributor, we are unable to guarantee your email provider will allow our mail to get through once it leaves our system and as such we cannot guarantee every poster or post will get a message. 

My post wasn't similar! It's an entirely new way to do "X".

Please free to join discussions in progress on similar topics before starting a new thread on the same topic.  We read and report on all the comments when we look at a post and keep them in mind because we know there may be more than one great way to implement an idea! For example, penguins.

I got a message but the "your post is rejected" message is so general.

Sorry! It's more of a "checklist" of things for you to keep in mind. We've had to standardize our messaging as our feedback community grows in order to even try to keep up.

Why can't I just make one post with ALL my ideas?

Keeping your ideas and feedback to one main idea per post so people know what they're voting for. Please feel free to repost your ideas once you've searched through and narrowed them down.

Why did you change the title/move my post?

If we've changed your post title or moved it, it is to make it easier for people to find. We're helping you get seen!

My post was on the site and then fell into the moderation queue. Why?

Did you edit it? Perhaps it got reported?

My post was on the site for a while and got removed. It had votes!

We are always making efforts to keep topics and general ideas together as much as possible. 

Why don't you provide a link when you take something down?

Your feedback site staff will do the exact same searches we expect you to do. Also, people can remove their own posts. Links can vanish at any time. 

I have a super long post and you removed it. Can you get my text back?

No, sorry. You may want to keep a copy somewhere. 

I think your filter and search engine need improvement. 

We know. But it's a work in progress, much like the website! 

How do I post? How do I edit my post? Do you have posting tips that aren't covered in Creating Great Feedback?

Yes, more technical "nuts and bolts" questions about posting are covered here.

Logging in

Our feedback site is based on a system of trust and accountability. You must use a Microsoft based email account in order to log in.

Why do I need an account?

Here are the things you can always do without having to log in:

• You can always use search, it is the box above "give feedback" on the right side of the screen.
• You can read posts!
• You can report a link or an issue with logging in.

You need to log in to do these things:

• In order to vote on an idea, you need an account. 
• In order to make a comment on a feedback idea or post a new one, you must register.

Site Features

What are the tags? Can I add them to my own post?

Short answer: No, these are added by the team. We're working on better tags but have some technical limits right now.

Other sites have fancy headers and a lot of other formatting options!

Due to community members repeatedly abusing this feature, we ended up removing them. 

Where do I post world seeds?

This is the feedback site. There are other sites on the web available for this type of thing. Please do not post them here, they are considered spam.

Questions, Problems, and Further Issues

This person posted some content that offends me/they copied my post/why did that get approved it's not appropriate.

Please use the report post button. Do not engage.

I didn't get any message about my post being removed!

Don't see your post?  Check the list above for common reasons.

Do you have any volunteer community moderators?

Yes, we have volunteer community moderators and are working on getting more. They only have the ability to move posts and/or hide them for review by official staff members.

Can you tell me the team's thoughts on spam and suspensions/bans?

We have a no-tolerance policy on spam, personal attacks, attempts to get around suspensions, and severe breaks with the Posting Guidelines. 

I need support! My game is broken! 

This is the section you need.

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.

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:

• 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
