Minecraft: Java Edition - Snapshot 24w09a

7eb9d8 e65fdd

 

Hello! Here is a slightly bigger than usual snapshot with a lot of technical changes, refreshed UI, another iteration of Wolf Armor, and tweaks to new features.

Since the initial release of the Wolf Armor, we have been working on improving it to increase its protection, usability and add customization. For protection there is a new approach to armor, which considers the player's need to quickly see the state of the armor without using UI elements, and the ability to act quickly to help their pet wolf if needed. Please try it out and let us know what you think over at the feedback site: Let's talk about Wolf Armor!

EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES

BOGGED

  • The Bogged drops 2 mushrooms (either both red/brown or one of each) when sheared
  • Updated Bogged texture and model

WIND CHARGE

  • Removed randomness from the radius of both Breeze- and player-shot Wind Charges

VAULT

  • Additional changes to the Vault texture to even further distinguish from Trial Spawners

CHANGES

  • Changes to Wolf Armor
  • The game's UI has been updated with a fresher look
  • Ctrl+Picking a renamed block (such as a Chest) in Creative Mode will now give a renamed item

WOLF ARMOR

  • The Wolf Armor will protect the wolf from most damage sources until the armor loses all durability and breaks
  • Wolf Armor shows signs of increased breakage as durability goes down
  • Players can repair the Wolf Armor with Armadillo Scutes while it is equipped on the Wolf
  • Wolf armor can be dyed in similar fashion to Leather Armor
  • The Wolf's owner can now repair Wolf Armor on a Wolf

UI

The UI has been updated to sport a fresher look and to be more consistent when it comes to the layout of different UI elements, all while retaining the essence and feel of the old screens.

As always, we're eager to hear your thoughts and opinions on further improvements or changes. Let us know what you think over at the dedicated feedback site.

  • The menu background dirt texture has been replaced by a darkened background
    • The dirt texture has been moved to the build-in Programmer Art Resource Pack
    • Outside the game, the menu Panorama is displayed across all screen
    • In the game, the world will be visible across all screens
    • Paired with the darkened background is a blur
      • The strength of the blur can be configured in Accessibility Settings
      • In-game screens such as containers and books are not affected by these changes
  • Screen elements such as titles and buttons are positioned more consistently across different screens
  • The Player and World Backups screens in Realms have been updated
  • Lists now have clearer borders at the top and bottom
  • After defeating the Ender Dragon and entering the End Portal, the End Poem and credits are now displayed with a background based on the animated End Portal effect

TECHNICAL CHANGES

  • The Data Pack version is now 33
  • The Resource Pack version is now 28
  • playsound command can now be used without specifying the player (assuming @s) and without specifying the mixer (assuming master)
  • In single player, when errors occur during loading or saving of chunks a warning will be shown in a toast
  • Trying join a single player world with less than 64 MB free disk space will show a warning screen
    • Additionally, a warning toast will be shown periodically while in game

DATA PACK VERSION 33

  • Added minecraft:bypasses_wolf_armor for damage sources that can not be absorbed by Wolf Armor
  • Loot table entry with id loot_table now also accepts inline loot tables
  • Unstructured NBT data attached to stacks of items (tag field) has been replaced with structured 'components'

LOOT TABLES

Loot table entry loot_table (which returns all items from provided nested loot table) now has the following syntax:

  • value - can be either:
    • namespaced id - reference to another named loot table
    • full loot table (same format as in standalone file)

ITEM STACK COMPONENTS

We are making some large changes to how Item Stack-specific properties are stored and represented in this snapshot, replacing the current NBT 'tag' with structured components.

This change has been made in order to:

  • Improve performance in cases where the game needs to frequently look up some property of an item (e.g. Armor Trims rendering every frame)
  • Validate item properties at load time, enabling easier identification of invalid data in commands and data packs
    • This should avoid any 'silent' breakages in commands specifying custom item data for any potential future format changes
  • Continue to evolve the game to enable the creation of dynamic content

We understand that this is a significant breaking change for many datapacks and custom maps which will require significant effort to upgrade.

We do however believe that this builds critical foundations for future extensibility. We have taken care to ship these changes all at once, with the hope that this avoids future incremental changes requiring many small updates to packs.

The current NBT 'tag' has existed for quite some time, and we are aware that a lot of clever techniques have been developed with this for commands and data packs.

Although we have made our best effort to identify these cases, some of these techniques rely on undocumented or undefined behavior with certain tag configurations.

We want to ensure that no functionality is lost without a suitable alternative, but due to the undocumented nature of these techniques, we have very likely not caught everything!

We hope to address any regressions over the remaining course of this snapshot cycle.

With such a large change, we deeply value your feedback! You can share your thoughts on these changes over at the feedback site: Let's talk about Item Stack Components!.

  • Unstructured NBT data attached to stacks of items (tag field) has been replaced with structured 'components'
    • This data is parsed and validated when the item is loaded
    • This should improve performance in certain scenarios (e.g. Armor Trim rendering) when item data was frequently compared or requested and parsed
    • Custom data can still be stored in the minecraft:custom_data component
  • Item types (e.g. minecraft:stick) hold a set of default components on an item that individual item stacks can override
  • The format of serialized items and items in data packs has been updated for consistency and to support components
  • Item syntax in commands has been updated to support components
  • When advanced tooltips are enabled (F3+H), the number of components will be displayed instead of number of tags
  • Default component values for items are now listed in items.json generated in reports directory

COMMANDS

  • Commands such as /give, /item, /loot, and /clear have updated item syntax
  • Components can now be specified after the item name in square brackets
    • Components are assigned with an = (e.g. wooden_pickaxe[damage=23])
    • Components are comma-separated (e.g. netherite_hoe[damage=5,repair_cost=2])
  • Component types will be autocompleted, but values themselves will not
  • Values will however be validated, and the command will fail to parse if the component is improperly specified
    • e.g. /give @s wooden_pickaxe[damage=-34] is not valid
  • The pre-existing NBT syntax ({...}) is rewired to set or match the minecraft:custom_data component
    • e.g. /give @s stick{foo:'bar'} is equivalent to /give @s stick[custom_data={foo:'bar'}]
    • If both [...] and {...} are specified, [...] must be ordered before {...}
  • Item predicate arguments (in /clear) have new semantics with respect to matching components and custom data
    • Every specified component must be present on the target item, and have an exactly equal parsed value
    • Components with defaults (e.g. damage=0 by default) will be assumed to exist on the target item if not specified
      • As such, /clear @s diamond_pickaxe[damage=0] will match only undamaged Diamond Pickaxes
      • On the other hand, /clear @s diamond_pickaxe will match any Diamond Pickaxe, irrespective of damage
    • Exact matching of component values applies even for the minecraft:custom_data component
    • However, using the {...} custom data syntax will use pre-existing NBT partial match behaviour
      • This requires that all tags specified in the predicate are present on the target item, but additional ones may be ignored
      • Lists in the target must contain all items specified in the predicate, but additional may be present and order is ignored
  • Modifier operations in the /attribute command have been renamed:
    • add -> add_value
    • multiply_base -> add_multiplied_base
    • multiply -> add_multiplied_total

ITEM STACK FORMAT

  • Along with format changes due to components, the structures of item stacks on disk and in data packs have been updated for consistency
  • Previous id (string) and Count (byte) fields have been replaced with id (namespaced string) and count (integer) fields
    • This format is additionally applied to the icon field in advancements, items in chat component hover events, and the result field in smelting recipes (result and count are no longer inlined)
  • The count field is optional (defaults to 1), and no longer stored if default
    • Stack size is now limited to the maximum stack size of the item
  • The tag field has been removed, and any remaining contents will end up in the minecraft:custom_data component when upgrading
  • A new components field stores all components attached to an item
    • Format: map of component id to component value (varies by component id)
      • e.g. {..., components: {'minecraft:damage': 12}}
      • Components with a ! prefix (e.g. "!minecraft:damage": {}) will cause this component to be removed
    • Components equal to their default value will not be stored
  • The item stack format no longer represents empty stacks (air item, or count 0)
    • Instead, in places that support it, the field should be ommitted
    • In some cases, such as lists of stacks (e.g. HandItems in living entities), an empty map ({}) is used to represent empty stacks

OTHER FORMAT CHANGES

  • Tipped Arrows no longer store their applied potion effects
    • This is instead fetched from their held item
  • Area Effect Clouds now store potions in the same format as the minecraft:potion_contents component in a potion_contents field:
    • Potion -> potion_contents.potion
    • Color -> potion_contents.custom_color
    • effects -> potion_contents.custom_effects
  • Banners now store applied patterns in the same format as the minecraft:banner_patterns component in a patterns field:
    • Patterns[].Pattern (string short id) -> patterns[].pattern (string pattern registry id)
    • Patterns[].Color (integer dye id) -> patterns[].color (string dye name)
  • Beehive format has also been updated:
    • Bees[].EntityData -> bees[].entity_data
    • Bees[].TicksInHive -> bees[].ticks_in_hive
    • Bees[].MinOccupationTicks -> bees[].min_ticks_in_hive
    • FlowerPos -> flower_pos
  • Villager Trades can be configured to accept only undamaged items by selecting for 'minecraft:damage': 0
    • By default, if no components are specified, any item will be accepted (similar to components field in item predicates)

    • Adds or replaces the given component on the input item
    • conditions: list of conditions (default: []):

      • Components with a ! prefix (e.g. "!minecraft:damage": {}) will cause this component to be removed
  • Added minecraft:copy_components function
    • Copies components from a specified source onto an item
    • This is now used in the Vanilla pack in place of the minecraft:copy_name and minecraft:copy_nbt functions
    • conditions: list of conditions (default: []):
      • Conditions to check before applying the function
    • source: source type to pull from
      • Currently, can only and must be "block_entity"
