Additions

Mobs

Breeze

  • The Breeze is a cunning, hostile mob that can spawn via Trial Spawner in some rooms within the Trial Chambers
  • The Breeze moves primarily by leaping around the target, sometimes jumping quite long distances
  • An aggressive adversary, the Breeze shoots volatile wind energy in the form of wind charge projectiles at its target
  • Wind charges deal a small amount of damage when colliding directly with an entity
  • After colliding with an entity or a block, wind charge projectiles produce a wind burst, which knocks back entities in the area by several blocks
  • Wind bursts also have the effect of 'activating' certain blocks:
  • Wind bursts do not have any effect on Iron Doors, Iron Trapdoors, or any block being held in its position by a Redstone signal

Blocks

Trial Spawner

  • Trial Spawner is a new variant of Monster Spawners that ejects rewards upon completion and can have variable levels of challenge in multiplayer
  • The challenge level will increase for each new player a Trial Spawner notices nearby
    • Challenge level will not decrease until it is reset during a Trial Spawner's cooldown
  • Unlike normal spawners, a Trial Spawner will spawn a limited number of mobs proportional to its current challenge level
    • It can only spawn a mob at positions that are within line of sight
    • It can spawn a mob regardless of any light level requirement the mob has
    • Spawned mobs are persistent
  • Once all mobs are defeated, the Trial Spawner will eject a set of rewards proportional to the current challenge level
    • After the rewards have been ejected, the Trial Spawner goes into cooldown for 30 minutes during which it will no longer spawn mobs
  • Trial Spawners cannot be crafted nor obtained by players in Survival - instead, they can be found naturally placed throughout Trial Chambers
  • Trial Spawners are extremely slow to mine and resistant to explosions, and will not drop even with Silk Touch
  • When placed in Creative, Trial Spawners have no mob type set by default
  • The mob type can be set by interacting with it while holding a Spawn Egg
  • Creative and Spectator players cannot be detected or noticed by Trial Spawners

Structures

Trial Chambers

  • Trial Chambers are a new structure in the Overworld where players can explore and take on combat challenges during the mid-game
    • Trial Chambers are made out of a variety of Copper and Tuff blocks and can be found in different sizes from large to small
    • Trial Chambers are a relatively common find throughout the Deepslate layer of the underground
  • The layout of each Trial Chamber is procedurally generated, and can include traps, reward chests and a variety of combat spaces
    • Supply chests can be found between the different rooms, and give the player blocks and items which help them navigate their trials
    • Reward chests are guarded by challenges in each room, and can be a source of enchanted books and equipment
  • Each Trial Chamber will include Trial Spawners with a melee, small melee, or ranged category:
  • Each Trial Spawner category will only use one mob for the entire structure when generated, and these mobs are randomized for each Trial Chamber
    • For example, one Trial Chamber might only spawn Zombies, Cave Spiders and Strays, while another might only spawn Slimes, Silverfish and Skeletons
    • The exceptions to this are some Trial Spawners in unique rooms which always spawn Breezes

Items

Trial Key

  • An item that can only be obtained from Trial Spawners
  • Trial Keys do not currently have any functionality

Changes

Blocks

Crafter

  • Updated Crafter textures

Tuff Bricks

  • Updated Tuff Bricks texture

Technical

Graphical

  • Improved performance by fixing a GPU resource allocation bug that resulted in constant reallocations every frame in the Deferred Technical Preview

API

  • PlayerPlaceBlockBeforeEvent
    • Removed itemStack: ItemStack from event
    • Added readonly permutationBeingPlaced: BlockPermutation to event
    • Updating createExplosion(location: Vector3, radius: number, explosionOptions?: ExplosionOptions) to return a boolean. True if the explosion is successful and false if the explosion is unsuccessful or is cancelled.
  • Class Player
  • Added method spawnParticle(effectName: string, location: Vector3, molangVariables?: MolangVariableMap): void;.
