Changes

Gameplay

Achievements

Items

Resin Clumps

  • The XP rewarded for smelting resin clumps into resin bricks has been reduced from 0.3 to 0.1.

World generation

Canyons

  • Now generate more often.
  • Can once again generate on the ocean floor.
  • Now properly interact with aquifers, filling with water instead of generating as disconnected segments.

General

UI

  • PlayStation 5: 'Enable Screen Reader' accessibility setting is now used to initialize Text-to-Speech during first launch.
  • Changed wording for enabling/disabling player's sleep skipping the night to "Skip night by sleeping" from "Beds work".
  • Added additional debug info regarding Realms features in the general settings screen.
  • Updated the text on the new bed screen when sleeping to skip the night is disabled.

Technical

Blocks

  • Door blocks use state minecraft:cardinal_direction instead of minecraft:direction. Uses string values (north, south, east, west).

Collisions

  • Entities with no collision box but with the minecraft:custom_hit_test component are no longer sometimes unable to be interacted with.

Components

  • Moved the minecraft:liquid_detection component out of the Upcoming Creator Features experiment for format_versions 1.21.60 and above.
  • Expand the minecraft:breedable component to allow inheriting properties to child entities.
    • Adds the new property_inheritance field which takes property name keyed objects.
    • The objects in property_inheritance can contain a mutation_chance which give the chance it should not inherit from either parent.
    • They can also contain the mutation_values array of values to select from if mutating and the component has random mutation set.

Graphical

  • Single-channel textures in resource packs are now interpreted as grayscale, rather than red. This change does not apply to single-channel UI textures, which were already interpreted as such.

Graphics

  • client_biome JSON files now support a surface_opacity field in the minecraft:water_appearance component.
    • This change also restores swampland and warm_ocean surface opacity to what they were until recently when the client_biome JSON files were introduced.

Items

  • The following legacy item (pre 1.16.100) components are now synced to the client:
    • minecraft:camera
    • minecraft:seed
    • minecraft:max_damage
    • minecraft:hand_equipped
    • minecraft:stacked_by_data
    • minecraft:foil
    • minecraft:block
    • minecraft:use_duration
    • minecraft:max_stack_size

Experimental

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs" experimental toggle.

Additions

Technical

Scripting

  • Structure
    • Added waterlogged: boolean parameter to setBlockPermutation. This can be used to set whether the specified block within a structure is waterlogged.

Changes

Technical

Scripting

  • system.scriptEvent updated to return a new error for exceeding the message size.
  • Removed ScriptBlockType.canBeWaterlogged from Beta - instead, ScriptBlock.canContainLiquid or ScriptBlockPermutation.canContainLiquid can be used to check if a block can be waterlogged.
