Changes

Warped fungus on a stick

  • Takes 1 damage whenever the strider's speed is boosted.

Mobs

Hoglins

Piglins

Striders

  • Riding speed has now been significantly increased to be even faster than that of a boat.​

General

Advancements

Attributes

  • Items and entities no longer keep unknown attributes.
  • Names of some attributes have been renamed to meet resource location requirements (i.e., lowercase separated by underscores instead of camel case).
    • Changed generic.maxHealth to generic.max_health.
    • Changed zombie.spawnReinforcements to zombie.spawn_reinforcements.
    • Changed horse.jumpStrength to horse.jump_strength.
    • Changed generic.followRange to generic.follow_range.

    • Changed generic.attackKnockback to generic.attack_knockback
    • Changed generic.attackSpeed to generic.attack_speed
    • Changed generic.armorToughness to generic.armor_toughness.

Main menu

  • The main menu background is now in the Nether.
    • Since this was an asset update, all of the 1.16 snapshots have the new backdrop.

Statistics

  • General statistics are now ordered alphabetically in the statistics menu.

Tags

  • Added nether portals and respawn anchors to the hoglin_repellents block tag.

World save files

  • Region files are now read/written in synchronous mode to help prevent data loss and corruption after crash.
    • Dedicated servers can disable that by changing sync-chunk-writes inside server.properties.
