Mobs

General

• Mobs have a 5% chance to spawn left-handed, through the new LeftHanded boolean tag.
  • Mobs able to hold items hold them according to their dominant hand.

Shulkers

• Short for "Shell Lurker".
• Hostile mobs with the appearance of a purple block.
  • Only spawn on the ground or at the walls of End cities when they first generate.
• When attacking, they open their shell with a spinning animation, revealing the creature inhabiting.
  • The creature looks like a little white cube with big eyes.
  • Its attack consists of shooting projectiles.
    • The projectiles chase the player until the projectile is out of range.
      • They can only move along one of the three grid axes at a time and on integer steps.
        • This means they can move only via taxicab geometry.
    • Projectiles can be knocked away by attacking them.
    • Getting hit by a projectile causes 2 hearts of damage and inflicts the Levitation status effect.
    • They take more damage while their shell is open.
      • Their shells are considered armor, and bounce arrows off.
  • It has an idle animation, where it opens its shells a little to peak through.
• Can be pushed by pistons, and can exist only on coordinates that are integers (except if they are on minecarts).
• Can teleport like an enderman.

    • Pushing a non-air block into its position (except piston heads).
• Is one of the few entities (apart from boats and minecarts) that can be stood upon.
  • It even displaces the player properly during its attacking and idle animations.

World generation

End cities

• Generate on the new outer End islands.
• Dungeon-type structure fashioned like a branching tower made of End stone and many of the new blocks.
  • Resemble a tree house.
• Generate with shulkers in it.

End ships

• Can generate up in the air, right next to an End city.
  • Always generate sailing away from what appears to be a pier.
  • Composed of many of the same materials as the End city.
• Generate with shulkers in it.
• Have a beacon set to Speed, a brewing stand with potions of Healing, and other loot.

Chorus trees

• Tree-like arrangements of the new chorus plant and chorus flower blocks.
• Generate on the outer End islands
• The whole structure is destroyed when the bottom-most block is destroyed, like cacti.
• Can be farmed by planting the chorus fruit flowers that come from the top of the plants.
  • Unlike cacti, chorus plants do not require the supporting block to be below it, but rather adjacent.
    • This allows the structure to grow around obstacles, like other plants.

End gateways

• Small structures consisting of an End gateway block and two little bulbs of bedrock, at both the bottom and the top.
  • Are an alternative way of traveling to the outer End islands, without having to build or fly all the way over there.
  • Since the bulbs of bedrock only leave a one block slit on the horizontal plane, it is only accessible by throwing ender pearls at it, or by riding pigs, boats or minecarts.
    • The player is teleported to somewhere on the outer End islands.
    • The final location of the player depends on what angle they entered or at what angle the ender pearl was thrown at.
• One gateway is created for each dragon kill.
  • Up to 20 gateways are possible to create this way.
  • Gateways spawn in a radius around the End portal.
  • Another gateway is created every time the player teleports to a new location.
    • The created gateway is linked to the original, so the player has a way back.

Gameplay

Dominant hand option

• An option for players to change their dominant hand on their player model.
  • Under "Skin Customization".
• Changes the orientation of the offhand slot in the hotbar (left often suits right-hand players better and vice versa).

Dual wielding

• Players can now use both hands at the same time to do different actions, with the left and right mouse buttons.
  • For example, if a player has a pickaxe in their main hand and a torch in their other hand, right clicking places the torch.
    • This happens because a pickaxe lacks a right click use, and therefore the game tries to then treat the other item as if it's being right clicked.
    • The player cannot click both buttons at the same time.
  • This is achieved through an extra inventory slot called the "offhand" slot.
    • Pressing F (by default) switches whatever item is selected in the hotbar with the item in the offhand (including no item).
    • The offhand slot is displayed next to the hotbar when it's not empty (left for right-hand players and vice versa).
      • It's also available in the inventory screen.
• Only the main hand can be used for attacking.
  • Even bows can't be used in the offhand.
• Bows can be used when something else is in the offhand.
  • Arrows in the offhand take priority over arrows in the rest of the inventory slots.
• The offhand model is invisible in first person view, while it's empty.
• Some attributes and enchantments apply to the offhand item, while others do not.

Status effects

• Levitation
  • Received when the player is hit by shulker projectiles.
  • Makes player involuntarily float high into the air.
    • Can be used to get to higher places.
  • Listed as a negative effect, due to the potential to kill from fall damage.
  • Higher levels of Levitation result in faster floating, except for the last two:
    • Level 255 does nothing.
    • Level 254 results in slow fall (similar to lunar gravity).

• Glowing
  • Received when players or mobs are hit by spectral arrows.
  • Makes player's outline glow, seen even through non-transparent blocks.
    • The outline includes the models of the currently held items.
  • Listed as a negative effect, because it prevents players from hiding from other players.
  • It becomes colored differently if the player is part of a team, to match its team color.

Changes

Blocks

Dead bushes

• Now drop anywhere between 0–2 sticks when broken without shears.

Doors

• Changed the shading on acacia, birch, dark oak and jungle doors.

Fire

• The block states flip and alt were removed, and the integer state upper was reimplemented as the byte state up.
  • This reduced the number of states representing fire from 3072 to 512.

Glass panes and iron bars

• Are now 2×2 pixels in footprint if no blocks connect to them.
  • This is compared to the big cross configuration that was the default.

Pressure plates

• Now have a slightly thinner item model.

Redstone wire

• Model was changed somewhat, resulting in subtle appearance differences.
  • Before:
    
    
  • After:
    
    

Stairs

• Are now rotated 90° in the inventory.

Trapdoors

• No longer require supporting blocks.
  • Therefore they can be moved by pistons freely.
• An open trapdoor may be climbed like a ladder if it is directly above one and on the same side of the block.

Items

Bows

• The bow in the hotbar now shows an animation for drawing back an arrow.
• Arrows in the off hand are prioritized over arrows in the rest of the inventory slots.

Ender pearls

• Can now be thrown in Creative mode.

Fishing rods

• Casting fishing rods now has an animation in the hotbar/inventory.

Item models for chest-like blocks

• Unlike other blocks, chests, trapped chests and ender chests have their item model rotated, to have the front face in view of the player.
  • This made it easier to distinguish between trapped and regular chests while being held, since only their front face is different.

Maps

• Now display as a mini map when held in the off hand, or if the offhand slot is occupied.
  • The (old) large version is visible only when held in the dominant hand with both hands-free.

Potions

• Mixed potions' colors now blend.
• Numeric IDs are no longer used. Instead, a "Potion" tag is used.
  • e.g. /give @s minecraft:potion 1 0 {Potion:"minecraft:swiftness"}
• Splash potions now have a separate data value and ID name and can be created from all potions, including water bottles.
• Added Mundane, Thick and Awkward potions to the Creative inventory.
• Glowstone dust or redstone can no longer be added to extended or tier-II potions, respectively.
• Most recipes for potion of Weakness were removed; only brewing from a water bottle remains.
• Potion of Slowness can no longer be brewed from a potion of Fire Resistance.
• Potion of Harming can no longer be brewed from a potion of Water Breathing.
• Splash potions now have the same duration as drinkable potions.^[2]

Mobs

Chickens

• Can be led and bred with melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, and beetroot seeds, in addition to regular seeds.

Ender dragons

• Similar to the one on Legacy Console Edition.
• The dragon can be re-spawned indefinitely by creating a creeper face configuration out of clay in the End.
  • Subsequent dragons spawn new gateways, but don't drop XP or create new dragon eggs.
• The dragon AI and attacks has been changed:
  • Breathes fire/purple particles on players and mobs, while on top of the portal.
  • Drops fireballs on top of the player.
  • Defends the obsidian pillars more, the further the fight progresses.
• The dragon flies and stops over the portal sometimes, only then can the last blow be dealt.

Endermen

• Remain aggravated towards the player despite being in contact with water.
• Drop the block they were holding when killed.

Pigs

• Can be led and bred with potatoes and beetroots, in addition to carrots.

Skeletons

• Have an animation for lifting up and drawing back their bow.

Villagers

• Farmer villagers now harvest beetroot.

Non-mob entities

Armor stands

• Can now be summoned to dual wield with commands in Creative.

Projectiles

• Slightly altered the path of projectiles.^[3]

World generation

The End

• A set amount of differently-sized obsidian pillars are arranged in a circular fashion.
  • The tallest pillars have iron bars around their ender crystal to deflect projectiles.
• The exit portal is pre-generated at the center of the island, but without the dragon egg and portal blocks.
• Now generates a great amount of islands in every direction from the main island, though separated from it in all directions by an empty gap of about 1,000 blocks.
  • Mini islands generate between the center and main islands.
  • End islands and mini End islands have chorus trees spread throughout them.

The Nether

• Removed the fog in the Nether.

Villages

• Farms now include beetroot crops.

Inventory

• Rearranged the Survival inventory and the Creative "Survival tab" to accommodate for the new offhand slot.
• Unified the orientation of many items in the inventory.

Status effects

• Status effects icons are now displayed on the HUD on the right hand corner, instead of just in the inventory (similar to Pocket Edition).
  • They are ordered by the time of infliction from right to left.
  • Positive effects are on the top row and negative effects on the bottom row.
  • Effects that are about to run out, blink.
    • They blink faster when they are closer to running out and start fading away.

General

Attributes

• CustomNameVisible:true makes the name tag on mobs show in the same way as on players.
• Entities can now be summoned straight to teams: {team="TeamName"}.
• DropChances and Equipment tags are no longer used.
  • ArmorItems, HandItems, ArmorDropChances and HandDropChances are used instead.

Bosses

• Proper support for multiple bosses' health bars, so they show at the same time without obstructing each other.

Damage tooltips

• Items can damage differently based on where they are placed to (main hand, offhand, armor slots).

Death messages

• Death messages now are displayed on the player's death screen as well as in the chat.

Models

• Different models/textures can be used for each different damage values, item states, and whether the item is held in a different hand.
  • This works on compasses, clocks, and anything that can have a durability bar.
  • It also contains additional tags for bows and fishing rods.
• Models can be put together based on block state attributes, such as fences.
  • As a result, the vanilla set of block models was reduced by almost 300.
• Block model JSON is now strict: comments and quote-less identifiers are not allowed.
• display tag defaults have changed, and the thirdperson and firstperson tags were replaced with thirdperson_righthand, thirdperson_lefthand, firstperson_righthand, and firstperson_lefthand.

• UV is now optional, and if not supplied it automatically generates based on the element's position.
