Additions

Items

Smithing templates

• New item series for armor trimming and netherite upgrading, with twelve of them.
  • Netherite upgrade
  • Armor trims:
    • Coast armor trim
    • Dune armor trim
    • Eye armor trim
    • Rib armor trim
    • Sentry armor trim
    • Snout armor trim
    • Spire armor trim
    • Tide armor trim
    • Vex armor trim
    • Ward armor trim
    • Wild armor trim
• They can be obtained randomly from chests generated in structures accordingly.
  • Exceptions:
    • While randomly generated in other rooms, a netherite upgrade smithing template is also guaranteed in every treasure room in a bastion remnant.
    • A single tide armor trim smithing template is sometimes dropped by elder guardians upon death.
  • Some armor trims are rarer.
• Consumed when used to upgrade an item in the smithing table.
• Can not be crafted directly, but can make a copy of them by crafting in crafting tables as following pattern:
  • 7 diamonds, shaped as iron ingots in cauldron crafting recipe.
  • 1 block of material that the template is made out of, placed in the center slot of the crafting grid.
  • 1 smithing template, placed in the remaining slot.

General

Data pack

• Added registry trim_pattern and trim_material, which defines trim patterns and materials respectively, to allow add them via data packs.
  • These are synchronized to clients when they join the server, but the accompanying resource pack is required on client to make them visible.
  • The paths to these textures are inferred based on the filename of the pattern json, and try to find the textures within the same namespace as the trim pattern's name field.
• trim_pattern defines following data:
  • asset_id: a namespaced ID used to infer texture locations and localization.
  • template_item: the ID of the smithing template item used to apply the trim pattern.
  • description: a text component used for displaying the pattern name of an armor trim when hovering an armor itemstack.
• trim_material defines following data:
  • asset_name: a string used as a suffix for armor trim texture locations.
  • ingredient: the ID of the ingredient item used to apply the trim material.
  • item_model_index: a float number which defines the item model override each armor item model should target to change their visuals for this material.
  • incompatible_armor_material: an optional ID of the armor material this trim material cannot be applied to.
  • description: a text component used for displaying the material name of an armor trim when hovering an armor itemstack.
    • The style defined in this description is applied to the armor trim pattern description as well.

player.dat format

• Added new flag (value 128) to HideFlags NBT field for hiding armor trim item tooltips.

Recipe

• Added smithing_transform and smithing_trim recipe serializers for the updated netherite upgrade and the new armor trim recipe respectively.

Resource pack

• Added paletted_permutations, which is a new type of atlas configuration source used to dynamically generate new textures in memory based on a set of color palettes.
  • Color palettes allows to swap out the colors of a texture without having to supply all files for the variants of a texture in a resource pack.
  • This is useful for things like armor trims. It can change the their color directly without create a new texture for each color.
  • The paletted_permutations source has a set of required parameters:
    • textures: a list of namespaced locations of base textures.
      • These textures are used to generate variants of them that have been modified by color palettes.
    • palette_key: a namespaced location of a color palette key file.
      • A color palette key is used to define the set of key pixel colors we want to swap out with the color palettes defined below.
    • permutations: a map of permutations from suffix to a namespaced location of a color palette file.
      • The suffix is appended at the beginning to the resource location of the output variant textures, with a _ character separating the suffix and the base texture name.
      • The color palette is a texture file with a set of pixels that are used for replacing pixels that match the color palette key in each base texture.
      • The number of pixels in each color palette must be the same as that of the palette_key defined for this source.
      • Key matching is done by comparing the RGB values of each pixel in the palette_key to the RGB values of each pixel in the color palette.
      • Alpha channel is ignored for key matching, but in the resulting texture the alpha channel is multiplied with the color palette's alpha channel.
      • Pixels that do not match the palette_key are copied over to the resulting texture as-is.
  • After defining a paletted_permutations source, those namespaced output textures can be referenced in other resources in resource pack.
    • For example, if the following paletted_permutations source exists:

      • {
            "type": "paletted_permutations",
            "textures": [
                "minecraft:item/leather_helmet",
                "minecraft:item/leather_chestplate",
                "minecraft:item/leather_leggings",
                "minecraft:item/leather_boots"
            ],
            "palette_key": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/leather_armor_color_key",
            "permutations": {
                "red": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/red",
                "green": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/green",
                "blue": "minecraft:colormap/color_palettes/blue"
            }
        }
        

    • The resulting textures can be referenced in other resources like this:

      • {
            "textures": {
                "layer0": "minecraft:item/leather_helmet_red",
                "layer1": "minecraft:item/leather_chestplate_green",
                "layer2": "minecraft:item/leather_boots_blue"
            }
        }

23w06a is the fourth snapshot for Java Edition 1.19.4, released on February 8, 2023,^[4] which introduces display entities, /damage command, damage types and tags, and fixes bugs.

Additions

Non-mob entities

Display entities

• Including block display, item display, and text display.
  • Like markers, don't tick and have no collisions or physics.
  • Models render at entity position, with normal rotation around X and Y axis (so it can be controlled by teleport commands), but also with additional arbitrary model transform.
• 2 new data types added, each of them has 2 forms, but only one for saving, as following:
  • rotation
    • Quaternion form (used for saving): array of 4 numbers, describing components (x, y, z, w).
    • Axis-angle form: object with following fields:
      • axis: 3D vector.
      • angle: Angle in radians.
  • transformation: Arbitrary affine transform, composed as following fields and following order:
    • Matrix form: array of 16 numbers, describing row-major matrix.
    • Decomposed form (used for saving): object with following fields:
      • translation: 3D vector.
      • left_rotation: rotation object.
      • scale: 3D vector.
      • right_rotation: rotation object.
• Some properties of display entities can be interpolated, to create gradual changes over time for clients, instead of instantaneous jumps.
  • Display entities keep track of current and previous values of interpolated values:
    • All properties marked as "interpolated" are part of a single interpolation set.
    • Any update to interpolated property cause all values of interpolation set to be saved as "current".
      • Data command executions that do not change value of property (even if it's present in NBT) do not count as updates.
      • Updates are synchronized to clients at most once per tick, so multiple updates within command still count as single update.
    • Previous current values are saved as "previous".
    • If interpolation is enabled, entity transitions between "previous" and "current" values over time.
