24w34a

24w34a is the second snapshot for Java Edition 1.21.2, released on August 21, 2024.^[5] It contains some tweaks to experimental features, as well as some technical changes and optimizations.

Additions

Command format

Data component format

• Added minecraft:consumable item stack component.

• e.g. consumable={consume_seconds:3.0, animation:'eat', sound:'entity.generic.eat', has_consume_particles:true, on_consume_effects:[{type:'minecraft:clear_all_effects'}]}

• Added minecraft:use_cooldown item stack component.

• e.g. use_cooldown={seconds:1.5, cooldown_group:"minecraft:custom_weapon"}

• Added minecraft:use_remainder item stack component.

• e.g. use_remainder={id:'minecraft:stick', count:1}

Changes

Items

General

• Drinking a milk bucket in Creative mode no longer gives the player an empty bucket.

Mobs

Blaze

• Changed the texture for the bottom face of a blaze's rods were changed from to .

Non-mob entities

Projectiles

• Arrows, tridents and fishing bobbers^{[note 2]} now bounce on the world border if hit.
• Other projectiles such as ender pearls and snowballs no longer go through the world border.

Command format

Data component format

• food item stack component
  • The food component has been changed to become a data container which only holds the food stats applied when the item is consumed.
    • This component no longer gives it the ability to be consumed, and can be done instead with the new consumable component.
    • Removed the eat_seconds, using_converts_to and effects fields.

Gameplay

Recipe book

• Now repeats the last selected recipe when a "selected" key is pressed (space or enter key).

General

Data pack

• The pack format version is now 50.

Performance

• Framerate has been improved when using higher render distances.
• Significantly reduced the performance impact when turning the camera.

Resource pack

• The pack format version is now 36.

Shaders

• Shader program configurations can now specify preprocessor define directives to apply to their linked shaders.
  • Many shader implementations have been merged by making use of this.
• The format of core shader and post-processing shader configurations have been consolidated.
• The rendertype_entity_glint_direct shader has been removed (replaced by rendertype_entity_glint)

Experimental

Bundles

• The tooltip now fits 3 rows and can always show at least 8 item types.

Redstone Experiments

• Redstone wire updates now have a left-first preference, meaning the left side is updated first if both sides of a fork have equal power.
  • This removes most of the random behavior.
  • The remaining edge cases which are still random are situations where the wire gets powered from above or below without enough context.

Minecart Improvements

• Minecarts no longer forcefully snap to the center of a block when landing on a rail.
  • Minecarts snap to corners along the diagonal, and snap after being pushed by a piston.
  • This allows for piston bolts and similar contraptions.

• Minecarts no longer tilt during a short fall, or when they are falling straight down.
• Minecarts are now placed (or dispensed) with the correct rotation straight away when put on rails.
