Java Edition 1.20.5

1.20.5, the release of Armored Paws, is a game drop for Java Edition released on April 23, 2024.^[2] It adds armadillos, wolf armor and new wolf variants along with fixing many bugs. Additionally, it updates the Update 1.21 Experiment, including the addition of the bogged, the vault, breeze rods, wind charges, the mace, and ominous events. This is the first version released in 2024 and the first version of Java Edition to require a 64-bit operating system and Java 21 or above.^[3]

Additions

Items

Armadillo scute

• Dropped by armadillos periodically and when brushed.
• Dispensers can be used to brush armadillo scutes off armadillos.
• Can be used to craft and repair wolf armor.

Spawn egg

• Armadillo spawn eggs

Wolf armor

• Crafted with 6 armadillo scutes in a harness shape.
• Protects wolves from most damage sources until the armor loses all durability and breaks.
  • Provides an armor value of 11 ( × 5.5).
• Shows signs of increased breakage as durability goes down.
• Using wolf armor on an adult tamed wolf equips the armor on the wolf, and using shears makes it drop the armor.
  • When wolf gets sheared, player is granted the Shear Brilliance advancement.
  • Only a wolf's owner can put on / shear off wolf armor. That also excludes dispensers.
• The wolf's owner can repair the armor with armadillo scutes while it is equipped on the wolf.
• If a wolf dies while wearing armor, it drops the armor.
• Wolf armor can be dyed in similar fashion to leather armor.

Mobs

Armadillo

• The winner of Minecraft Live 2023's Mob Vote.
• A passive mob that spawns in savanna and badlands biomes with the same frequency as chickens and pigs.
• Has 12HP × 6 health points.
• Can drop armadillo scutes either periodically or when brushed, but drops no loot when killed.
  • Armadillos drop scutes at around the same rate as chickens lay eggs.
  • Brushing takes 16 durability from the brush.
• Can be bred with spider eyes.
• If an armadillo detects a threat, it rolls up.
  • Threats include:
    • A player sprinting.
    • A player in a vehicle or mounted.
    • Anyone it has been attacked by recently.
    • Undead mobs.
  • Special cases where an armadillo doesn't roll up include when it is:
    • Fleeing.
    • In water or in the air.
    • On a lead.
  • When an armadillo is rolled up it cannot walk nor eat, and is not tempted by food. Additionally, it is protected by its shell, causing it to take reduced damage and completely negating damage from weaker attacks.
  • While rolled up, armadillo continuously scans for threats. If no threats are detected for 3 seconds (60 ticks), it unrolls. Armadillos peek out to see if “the coast is clear” before unrolling.

Wolf

• Added 8 new wolf variants. There are now 9 wolf variants, including the original pale wolf.^[4]
  • The pale wolf spawns in the taiga biome.
  • The rusty wolf spawns in the sparse jungle.
  • The spotted wolf spawns in the savanna plateau.
  • The black wolf spawns in the old growth pine taiga.
  • The striped wolf spawns in the wooded badlands.
  • The snowy wolf spawns in the grove.
  • The ashen wolf spawns in the snowy taiga.
  • The woods wolf spawns in the forest.
  • The chestnut wolf spawns in the old growth spruce taiga.
  • Wolves spawned with the wolf spawn egg spawn as the variant associated with the biome the egg is used in. They default to pale wolf in any other biome.
  • All wolves spawned before 1.20.5 are pale wolves and continue to be pale wolves.
• The new variants combined with the ability to dye a wolf's armor and collar, there are effectively 2,415,919,248 (2.4 billion) distinct wolves, which is 2,415,919,232 more than the 16 wolves that used to be available. Therefore, this update added 2,415,919,232 distinct wolves. See Wolf § Trivia for more details.

  • They both range between 0 and 64, with the default value being 4.5 for blocks and 3 for entities.

Entity predicate

• Added entity sub-predicate slots, used to check single or multiple slots on any entity.
  • For slot ranges, only one slot needs to match for whole entry to pass
  • The field contains a map of slot names (same as ones used in item commands) to item predicate
  • Example:

{
    "condition": "minecraft:entity_properties",
    "entity": "this",
    "predicate": {
        "slots": {
            "container.*": {
                "items": "dirt"
            }
        }
    }
}

    • has_raid - Match whether the raider is in an active raid.
    • is_captain - Match whether the raider is a captain.

Game rule

• Added spawnChunkRadius to set the size of the spawn chunks.
  • Defaults to 2, equivalent to 3×3 entity ticking chunks.

Inventory

• Added new slot names:
  • container.*: contains container.0 to container.53.

Particles

• Added the following particle types: infested, item_cobweb, small_gust, raid_omen, trial_omen, trial_spawner_detection_ominous, ominous_spawning, and vault_connection.

Servers

• Added transfer packets.
  • Custom servers can now request that clients connect to another server with a new packet.
  • When a client is transferred, it connects to the target server with a new transfer intent (id 3).
  • By default, servers do not accept incoming transfers and disconnect the client.
    • This can be changed by setting the accepts-transfers property to true in the server.properties file.
  • Resource packs are maintained across transfers.
  • In the case of a transfer, custom servers can skip authentication with a new flag.
• Added cookie packets.
  • Cookie packets allow custom servers to request and store data on a client.
    • Each cookie may be up to 5 KiB in size.
    • Cookies may be requested during login, configuration and play phases — but only stored during the configuration and play phases.
  • Cookies are persisted across server transfers but are not persisted when the player disconnects.
    • This allows servers to pass along information such as authentication or custom game data to the new server.
• Added an option to configure how region file compression algorithm is handled on dedicated servers.
  • Added a dedicated server configuration property region-file-compression with 3 possible values:
    • deflate, the default option. Uses the old algorithm.
    • lz4 uses LZ4 algorithm, which requires less CPU time to compress and decompress but uses more disk space.
    • none does not compress the data.
      • Consumes significantly more space and requires significant time to read and write, even though CPU is used less.
      • Might make sense together with filesystem level compression.
  • Changing the compression algorithm does not automatically recompress the world.
    • New or updated chunks use the newly configured algorithm, but the old ones stay in the previous format.
• Added a reserved region file compression id for third-party servers to use for custom compression implementations.
  • Compression id 127 can now be used for custom implementations of region file compression.
  • When used, the version id must be followed by a namespaced string representing the custom algorithm used.

  • No longer take half damage from most environmental sources like they used to do.
  • Feeding a wolf now heals twice as many health points.
  • Now only take knockback from snowballs from snow golems, like other mobs, instead of taking damage.
• Now have tag [NBT Compound / JSON Object] body_armor_item to store the armor they are wearing.
• The texture of the wolf collar layer has been changed.
• Now spawns on coarse dirt and podzol blocks.
• Now spawns in sparse jungle, savanna plateau, and wooded badlands biomes.
• When summoned using spawn eggs or commands, the variant selection now follows the natural spawning biome rules with the following extensions:
  • Rusty wolf is selected in all jungle biomes, including jungle and bamboo jungle.
  • Spotted wolf is selected in all savanna biomes, including savanna and windswept savanna.
  • Striped wolf is selected in all badlands biomes, including badlands and eroded badlands.

Non-mob entities

Llama spits

• Now use a new damage type spit instead of mob_projectile.
• Are no longer able to destroy armor stands.

World generation

Grove

• Rabbits, wolves, and foxes are now the only animals spawning in the grove biome.

Command format

General

• Unstructured NBT data attached to stacks of items (tag field) has been replaced with structured 'components'.
  • This data is parsed and validated when the item is loaded.
  • This should improve performance in certain scenarios (e.g. armor trim rendering) when item data was frequently compared or requested and parsed.
  • Custom data can still be stored in the minecraft:custom_data component.
  • This change has been made in order to:
    • Improve performance in cases where the game needs to frequently look up some property of an item (e.g. armor trims rendering every frame).
    • Validate item properties at load time, enabling easier identification of invalid data in commands and data packs.
      • This should avoid any 'silent' breakages in commands specifying custom item data for any potential future format changes.
    • Continue to evolve the game to enable the creation of dynamic content.
• Item types (e.g. minecraft:stick) hold a set of default components on an item that individual item stacks can override.
• Commands such as /give, /item, /loot, and /clear have updated item syntax.
• Components can now be specified after the item name in square brackets.
  • Components are assigned with an = (e.g. wooden_pickaxe[damage=23]).
  • Components are comma-separated (e.g. netherite_hoe[damage=5,repair_cost=2]).
• Component types are autocompleted, but values themselves are not.
• Values however are validated, and the command fails to parse if the component is improperly specified.
  • e.g. /give @s wooden_pickaxe[damage=-34] is not valid.
• The pre-existing NBT syntax ({...}) must now be specified with the minecraft:custom_data component.
  • e.g. /give @s stick{foo:'bar'} is equivalent to /give @s stick[custom_data={foo:'bar'}].
• Item predicate arguments (in /clear) have new semantics with respect to matching components and custom data.
  • Each specified component must be present on the target item, and have an exactly equal parsed value.
  • Components with default values (e.g. damage=0 by default) automatically exist on the target item if not specified.
    • As such, /clear @s diamond_pickaxe[damage=0] matches only undamaged diamond pickaxes.
    • On the other hand, /clear @s diamond_pickaxe matches any diamond pickaxe, irrespective of damage.
  • Exact matching of component values applies even for the minecraft:custom_data component.
  • However, the {...} syntax for custom data still uses the pre-existing partial matching behavior for NBT.
    • This means that all tags specified in the predicate must be present on the target item, but additional tags on the target item are ignored.
    • Lists in the target must contain all list-items specified in the predicate, but additional list-items are ignored.
• The format of serialized items and items in data packs has been updated for consistency and to support components.
• When advanced tooltips are enabled (F3+H), the number of components is displayed instead of number of tags.
• Default component values for items are now listed in items.json generated in reports directory.
• Block definitions are now added to blocks.json report (note: those definitions are not used yet and present only for informational purposes).
• The ignoreTags field on villager trades has been removed and replaced by a component predicate on damage.
• If the key_item field of a vault block is not present, the vault cannot be unlocked.
• Command arguments that previously accepted namespaced ids of loot tables, modifiers and predicates can now also accept inline definitions
  • loot
  • item
  • execute if predicate
  • Values have same structure as matching JSON files, though they are encoded as SNBT. Example: execute if predicate {condition:weather_check, raining:true}

Entity format

• Added [NBT Compound / JSON Object] body_armor_item to entity data, which functions similarly to entries of [NBT List / JSON Array] HandItems and [NBT List / JSON Array] ArmorItems.
  • Also added [Float] body_armor_drop_chance, which determines the chance of dropping body armor.
• Potion effects stored in items or entities no longer encode their default values.
  • amplifier: 0
  • duration: 0
  • ambient: false
  • show_particles: true
• All block positions are now stored as an array of 3 integers instead of a map of XYZ.
• FlowerPos and HivePos in bees have been renamed to flower_pos and hive_pos.
• FlowerPos in beehives has been renamed to flower_pos.
• BeamTarget in end crystals has been renamed to beam_target.
• Leash in all leashable entities has been renamed to leash.
• PatrolTarget in patrolling mobs has been renamed to patrol_target.
• ExitPortal in end gateways has been renamed to exit_portal.
• WanderTarget in wandering traders has been renamed to wander_target.
• Tipped arrows no longer store their applied potion effects.
  • This is instead fetched from their held item.
• Area effect clouds now store potions in the same format as the minecraft:potion_contents component in a potion_contents field:
  • Potion -> potion_contents.potion
  • Color -> potion_contents.custom_color
  • effects -> potion_contents.custom_effects
• Villager trades can be configured to accept only undamaged items by selecting for 'minecraft:damage': 0
  • By default, if no components are specified, any item is accepted (similar to components field in item predicates).

Item stack format

• Along with format changes due to components, the structures of item stacks on disk and in data packs have been updated for consistency.
• Previous id (string) and Count (byte) fields have been replaced with id (namespaced string) and count (integer) fields.
  • This format is additionally applied to the icon field in advancements, items in chat component hover events, and the result field in smelting recipes (result and count are no longer inlined).
• The count field is optional (defaults to 1), and no longer stored if default.
  • Stack size is now limited to the maximum stack size of the item.
• The tag field has been removed, and any remaining contents end up in the minecraft:custom_data component when upgrading.
• A new components field stores all components attached to an item.
  • Format: map of component id to component value (varies by component id).
    • e.g. {..., components: {'minecraft:damage': 12}}.
    • Components with a ! prefix (e.g. "!minecraft:damage": {}) cause this component to be removed.
  • Components equal to their default value are not stored.
• The item stack format no longer represents empty stacks (air item, or count 0).
  • Instead, in places that support it, the field should be omitted.
  • In some cases, such as lists of stacks (e.g. HandItems in living entities), an empty map ({}) is used to represent empty stacks.

Predicate format

• Item predicate format has been updated:
  • tag field has been removed.
  • items field now supports a single entry, hash-prefixed item tag, or list of items.
  • potion -> potions, and supports a single entry, hash-prefixed potion tag, or list of potions.
  • nbt predicate has been renamed to custom_data and now matches minecraft:custom_data component.
  • A new optional components field matches exact components.
    • All specified components must be present an exactly equal on the target item, but additional components may be ignored.
    • Components with defaults are assumed to exist on the target item if not specified.
    • Format: map of component id to component value (varies by component id).
      • e.g. "components": { "minecraft:damage": 0 } matches only undamaged items.
• Block predicate format has been updated:
  • tag field has been removed.
  • blocks field now supports a single entry, hash-prefixed block tag, or list of blocks.
• Fluid predicate format has been updated:
  • tag field has been removed.
  • fluid -> fluids, and supports a single entry, hash-prefixed fluid tag, or list of fluids.
• Entity predicate format has been updated:
  • type field now supports a single entry, hash-prefixed entity type tag, or list of entity types.
• Location predicate format has been updated:
  • biome -> biomes, and supports a single entry, hash-prefixed biome tag, or list of biomes.
  • structure -> structures, and supports a single entry, hash-prefixed structure tag, or list of structures.

Other format changes

• Banners now store applied patterns in the same format as the minecraft:banner_patterns component in a patterns field:
  • Patterns[].Pattern (string short id) -> patterns[].pattern (string pattern registry id)
  • Patterns[].Color (integer dye id) -> patterns[].color (string dye name)
• Beehive format has also been updated:
  • Bees[].EntityData -> bees[].entity_data
  • Bees[].TicksInHive -> bees[].ticks_in_hive
  • Bees[].MinOccupationTicks -> bees[].min_ticks_in_hive
  • FlowerPos -> flower_pos

/attribute

• Modifier operations have been renamed:
  • add -> add_value
  • multiply_base -> add_multiplied_base
  • multiply -> add_multiplied_total

/execute

• if and unless sub-commands can now use items to compare or count items.
  • execute if|unless items <source> <slots> <item_predicate>
    • <source> is the same one as used in /item.
      • e.g. block <x> <y> <z> or entity <target> (selector can return multiple entities)
    • <slots> can accept single slot (like container.0) or a range (like container.*)
    • <item_predicate> is the same as item predicate in /clear command.
• If used alone, it returns total number of items in stacks that match predicates.

/item

• slot now supports a range of slots.

/playsound

• Can now be used without specifying the player (assuming @s) and without specifying the mixer (assuming master).

Item modifiers

• minecraft:set_nbt and minecraft:copy_nbt functions have been renamed to minecraft:set_custom_data and minecraft:copy_custom_data respectively.
  • These now apply to the minecraft:custom_data component of the target item.
• minecraft:set_attributes function has been updated.
  • The modifier slot field now supports any, armor, and hand values.
  • The modifier operation values have been renamed:
    • addition -> add_value
    • multiply_base -> add_multiplied_base
    • multiply_total -> add_multiplied_total

  • Now has mode like set_fireworks and set_written_book_pages.

• Changed set_name loot function.
  • Added optional field target to specify which name should be set
  • Values:
    • custom_name - sets custom_name component (default)
    • item_name - sets item_name component

Item predicate argument

• The item predicate syntax (used in execute if|unless items and clear commands) has been significantly expanded.
• The general syntax is: <type> [comma-separated list of <test>]
• <type> can be one of:
  • item id
  • item tag id prefixed with #
  • * to match any item
• <test> can have one of 3 forms:
  • <component_id>=<value> - match exact value of component (same as in previous format)
    • <value> is a representation of component value in SNBT format (same as in item give argument)
  • <component_id> - check if component exists
  • <predicate_id>~<value> - check item sub-predicate
    • <value> is a representation of item sub-predicate in SNBT format (but otherwise same as one used for advancement and loot table JSON files)
    • Example: *[damage~{durability:{min:3}}] matches any stack with at least 3 uses left
• The special name minecraft:count can be used for matching the stack size
  • count=<positive int> passes only when the stack size equals the given value
  • count~<int range> passes when the stack size is in the specified range
    • Example: *[count~{max:2}] matches any stack with count <= 2
  • count always passes
• Any <test> entry can be negated by prefixing with !
  • Example: *[!count=1] matches any stack that has count other than 1
• <test> elements can be also joined with | to check multiple alternatives
  • Example: *[!damage|damage=0] looks for items without damage component or with 0 damage
• Removed redundant custom data section ({...}) from item arguments (it's fully replaced by [custom_data={...}])
  • To make this transition easier, custom_data item sub-predicate has been changed to allow unquoted SNBT
• The syntax for custom data partial matching ({}) has been removed in favor of using custom_data predicates
  • So stick{a:2} becomes stick[custom_data~{a:2}]

Item sub-predicates

• General rules of component predicates:
  • Unless otherwise specified, a field in predicate with the same name as a field in component that matches (i.e. has the same name as predicate) will match that field value
  • Those fields usually have the same type as in the components, but are optional.
  • Exceptions:
    • List fields are replaced with collection matchers (see below)
    • Integer and float fields are replaced with ranges
    • Registry ids are replaced with a type that accepts id, list of ids or a tag
• Collection matcher is a shared part of predicate used for matching collections. Every instance of this matcher has same fields with same functionality, with only difference being type of matched elementFields:
  • size - integer range to match against collection size
  • contains - a list of element predicates
    • All conditions must match for predicate to pass
    • Not all elements in tested container have to be matched
    • Elements can be in any order
    • Single element can match multiple predicates
    • Examples (when matching item stacks):
      • {contents:[{item:diamond}]} - matches when there is at least one diamond item
      • {contents:[{item:diamond}, {item:dirt}]} - matches when there is at least one diamond item and at least one dirt item
  • count - a list of matchers on element counts
    • Entry fields:
      • test - element matcher
      • count - optional integer range to check against number of elements passing test
    • Examples (when matching item stacks):
      • {count:[{count:3,test:{items:diamond}}]}} matches only when there are exactly 3 stacks of diamonds (no matter the stack size)

Predicates

• Removed any entity sub-predicate.
• Added slot name contents for single-slot entities like item frames and item displays.
• Contents of item entity can now be accessed through contents slot name.
• Component-specific item predicate properties have been moved to separate field predicates.
  • Some fields from item predicate have been moved to a map in an optional field predicates.
  • The new field is similar to the components field on item stacks.
  • This was done to simplify addition for future predicates and to allow sub-predicates to more closely resemble names of components they match.
  • The following fields have been moved:
    • enchantments - field moved to sub-predicate minecraft:enchantments
    • stored_enchantments - field moved to sub-predicate minecraft:stored_enchantments
    • potions - field moved to sub-predicate minecraft:potion_contents
    • custom_data - field moved to sub-predicate minecraft:custom_data
      • Predicate minecraft:custom_data now accepts both SNBT data written as a string (existing format) and unflattened tags
        • That means that *[custom_data~{a:1}] and *[custom_data~"{a:1}"] are equivalent
        • Flattened string format has been kept since NBT type information can't be expressed in JSON
• durability field has been expanded to minecraft:damage predicate:
  • This check now works for any item that has minecraft:damage component
  • An item that does not have a minecraft:damage component can never match
  • To check for unbreakable items, query value of minecraft:unbreakable component
  • Fields:
    • damage - optional bounds for value of minecraft:damage component
    • durability - optional bounds for durability (max damage minus value of minecraft:damage)
• Predicates minecraft:enchantments, minecraft:stored_enchantments, minecraft:potion_contents and minecraft:damage require matching component to exist on item
  • That means that, for example, matching for empty enchantment list does not pass on items without minecraft:damage component
  • Note: some components, like minecraft:enchantments have default values, so they always match.
  • wolf
    • New wolf sub-predicate has been added to match wolf variantsFields: variant - wolf variant to match (single entry, list of entries or tag)
  • cat, frog, painting
    • Field variant now accepts single entries, list of entries or tags.
  • wolf, cat, frog and painting entity sub-predicates now accept tags and plain lists instead of just single elements.

Slots

• Replaced horse.armor slot argument with armor.body, applicable now to all mobs.

End portal

• When entities leave or enter the End, the area they arrive in now stays loaded for 15 seconds, matching the behavior of nether portals.

Spawn chunks

• The size of the spawn chunks changed from radius 10 (19x19 entity ticking chunks) to radius 2 (3×3 entity ticking chunks).
  • This was done to reduce memory usage, loading times and CPU usage.
  • The developers opted to not fully remove spawn chunks to allow players who currently utilize this functionality to continue to do so.
