Changes

Blocks

Copper door and copper trapdoor

• Are now crafted from copper ingots instead of copper blocks.
  • Oxidized variants of copper doors and copper trapdoors can no longer be crafted.

Ominous trial spawner

• Spawners with mobs that are unable to wear equipment now spawn double the total mob count over the course of the challenge.
  • These spawners also spawn an additional mob out at once during its challenge.
• Bottle o' enchanting is no longer a possible projectile for ominous trial spawners.

Ominous vaults

• Increased the chance of obtaining mace enchantments.

Trial spawner

• Rotten flesh has been removed as a possible item to eject.

Items

Axe and shield

• When a player with an axe in the main-hand and a shield in the off-hand performs a use action, the game now prioritizes holding up the shield over using the axe (to strip wood or scrape copper).

Mace

• The mace smash attack no longer creates dirt particles when hitting a target whose center is in the air nor knocks back the player's own pets.
• Doubled the mace's durability from 250 to 500.
• Density is no longer as powerful and the mace now does less damage when falling from great heights.
  • See the § New mace damage formula below.
  • Reduced the mace's base damage to 5HP. This means the player does 6HP damage when attacking with it.
  • Reduced the damage per block per level of Density from 1HP to 0.5HP × 0.25 (a quarter heart).
  • Increased the mace smash attack's damage for shorter falls, and decreased the damage for longer falls:
    • The first 3 blocks fallen increase the damage by 4HP per block.
    • The next 5 blocks fallen increase the damage by 2HP per block.
    • Each block fallen after that increases the damage by 1HP.
• Attack speed has been drastically reduced from 1.6 to 0.5, the lowest attack speed in the game.
• Density, Breach, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods are now all incompatible with each other. Each mace can only have 1 of these enchantments.
• Fire Aspect can no longer be applied to maces.

Wind charge

• They now use a new damage type wind_charge instead of mob_projectile.

New mace damage formula

${\displaystyle f\left(h\right)=\{\begin{array}{ll}6+(4+0.5\cdot D)\cdot h,& \text{if }0\le h\le 3\\ 12+(2+0.5\cdot D)\cdot h,& \text{if }3<h\le 8\\ 20+(1+0.5\cdot D)\cdot h,& \text{if }8<h\\ \end{array}}$

${\displaystyle f\left(h\right)}$ is the damage done by the mace when falling from a height of ${\displaystyle h}$ blocks

Here is a graph of what that formula means:

World generation

Trial chambers

• Spider spawners have been moved to the "melee" category.
• Slime spawners have been moved to the "small melee" category.

• Fixed various broken or incorrect jigsaw data.
• Added empty chests to chamber entrances.

• Flow and bolt armor trims now grant the "Crafting a New Look" advancement.^[4]

Knockback

• Projectile knockback is no longer dependent on the shooters position.
  • Projectiles such as arrows and fireballs knock back in the direction they travel.
  • Projectiles such as splash potions and fireworks knock back away from themselves.
  • Projectiles shot by a dispenser also knock back.

General

Crash

• Crash reports now includes the total sizes and available sizes of JNA temporary directory, netty native libraries' directory, LWJGL temporary directory and system temporary directory.

Data pack

• The pack format version is now 42.
• Added new music disc items and loot table entries for the music discs.
• Painting variants are now data-driven.

  • e.g. /give @s diamond_pickaxe[!tool] gives a diamond pickaxe without the tool component.
• Enchantments are now data-driven.
• Enchantments that show up in the game are now controlled by enchantment providers.
• Enchantment exclusivity is now controlled through tags.

Enchantments

• Weapons enchanted with Fire Aspect can now be used to light candles and campfires, to match Bedrock Edition.
• Enchantments are now set through data. An enchantment is a set of core properties like level ranges and cost together with some effects. Most effect types also support a set of conditions, making it possible to apply them only when certain criteria are met.
• Enchantments can be added in the registry enchantment. All vanilla enchantments can be found in the vanilla data pack in the client and server jar files.
• Fields:
  • description: the name of the enchantment when displayed in text represented as a text component.
  • exclusive_set: the enchantment(s) this enchantment is exclusive with.
    • Two enchantments can never co-exist on an item if either is in the other's exclusive set.
    • Specified as an enchantment ID, a list of enchantment IDs or an enchantment tag prefixed with #.
    • Optional - if omitted, the exclusive set is empty.

    • Must be a subset of supported_items.
  • weight: how commonly the enchantment appears, compared to the total combined weight of all available enchantments.
    • Positive integer - higher values mean more common.
  • max_level: the maximum level of the enchantment.
    • All enchantments range from level 1 to their maximum level.
    • Positive integer.
  • min_cost, max_cost: describe the range of costs for this enchantment in the enchanting table (and how much it returns when disenchanted).
    • Both min and max cost are described using a linear formula:
    • base: base cost at level 1.
    • per_level_above_first: added for each level over 1.
  • anvil_cost: fee taken for the enchantment in the anvil.
    • Non-negative integer.
    • This value is halved when an enchantment is added to a book.
    • The effective fee is multiplied by the level of the enchantment.
  • slots: a list of slot groups this enchantment works in.
    • Each entry is one of any, hand, mainhand, offhand, armor, feet, legs, chest, head and body.
  • effects: a map of effect components, as described below in the effect components section.

Level-Based Values

• Many effects of enchantments depend on the level of the enchantment. For these fields, a type called "Level-Based Value" is used. In their most basic form, level-based values can be written as floating-point constants, which is interpreted as a value that isn't in fact level-based, the constant is used as-is for all levels.
• If a level-based value is not a floating-point constant, it is an object with a type field, specifying one of the following types:
  • linear
    • The most common type of level-based value is a linear value. A linear level-based value has two fields:
      • base: the base value added to all levels.
      • per_level_above_first: amount added for each level above the first one.
    • In effect, a linear level-based value results in ${\displaystyle base+per\mathrm{\_}level\mathrm{\_}above\mathrm{\_}first*(level-1)}$.
  • clamped
    • A level-based value type that clamps a value between a min and max. Fields:
      • value: a level-based value used as the input.
      • min: a floating point value specifying the minimum value of the output.
      • max: a floating point value specifying the maximum value of the output.

    • A level-based value type that represents the fraction between two values. Fields:
      • numerator: a level-based value used as the numerator.
      • denominator: a level-based value used as the denominator.
  • levels_squared
    • A level-based value type that evaluates to the square of the levels, plus an addition. Fields:
      • added: a floating-point value added to the result of the squared levels.
    • In effect, a levels_squared level-based value results in ${\displaystyle leve{l}^2+added}$.

• All entity effect types can also be used as Location-Based effects, and in addition attribute can be used to specify an Attribute effect as a location-based effect.

Effect conditions

• Most enchantment effects are filtered using conditions (same types as in loot tables). This enables effects to be specific for different situations.

Effect components

• The effects field in an enchantment is a map of effect component type the effect list data. Most effect components are lists, so any number of effects can be added of any component type. The data for each effect generally involves having a specified condition context and effect type, but some effects also deviate from this format.
• In cases where the documentation specifies a condition context and effect, the component is a list. Each entry in the list has a field named effect with the effect of the type used by the list. Entries can also optionally include a field named requirements specifying the condition parameters, which are then evaluated with the documented context.
