21w03a is the sixth snapshot for Java Edition 1.17, released on January 20, 2021, which adds glow squid, glow ink sacs, glow lichen, glow item frames, and fixes bugs.[1] This is the first snapshot released in 2021.

Additions

Blocks

Glow item frames

  • Placeable entities which appear to glow.
  • Do not affect the light level, only appearing as if lit up themselves.
  • Items placed inside also glow.
  • Crafted using an item frame and a glow ink sac.
  • Includes application to maps.

Glow lichen

  • A naturally occurring light source found rarely in caves, growing on any face of a block.
  • Has a light level of 7.
  • Obtained with shears, otherwise breaks.
  • Does not spread naturally, although bone meal can be used to spread it.
    • It spreads to adjacent spaces horizontally, up to 4.
  • Can be waterlogged.
  • Unlike vines, it does not pop off when underwater, and is not climbable.
  • Up to 6 can be put on the same block space, merging into one block.

Items

Glow ink sacs

  • Dropped by glow squid when killed.
  • Can be used to craft glow item frames.
  • Can be used to make text glow on signs.

Spawn eggs

Mobs

Glow squid

  • Originates from the mob with the same name from Minecraft Earth.
  • Underwater mob that behaves like a regular squid.
  • Does not naturally spawn yet.
  • Is attacked by axolotls without provocation.
  • Drops glow ink sacs when killed.
  • Does not affect the light level, only appearing as if lit up itself.
  • Stops glowing for a short time and swims away fast after taking damage.

Changes

Blocks

Dripstone blocks

Signs

  • Can now be tinted with glow ink sacs to make the text glow.
    • Glowing signs do not affect the light level, only appearing as if the text itself is illuminated.
    • A new lit block state had been added to indicate whether the sign text is lit up.
    • Regular ink sacs can be used to remove the glowing effect.
    • Now has sounds for being dyed.

Gameplay

Death messages

  • Added unique death messages for dying from falling on a stalagmite.
    • "<player> was impaled on a stalagmite" and "<player> was impaled on a stalagmite whilst fighting <entity>".
    • Previously, this death would use the generic fall damage death messages.

Recipe book

Subtitles

  • Changed Lava drips into cauldron to Lava drips into Cauldron.
  • Changed Water drips into cauldron to Water drips into Cauldron.
  • Changed Shulker bullet explodes to Shulker Bullet explodes.
  • Changed Shulker bullet breaks to Shulker Bullet breaks.

General

Block models

  • Made the vines block model much simpler.

Servers

  • Changed the error message for failing to connect to the authentication servers. Now says they are "not reachable" instead of "down for maintenance".

Tags

  • Added glow squid to the axolotl_always_hostiles entity type tag.

Obfuscation map

  • Changed the license included in the obfuscation map.

World selection

  • Added unique warnings for downgrading a world.

Languages

  • Removed the following languages due to incomplete translations:
    • Gothic
    • Kabyle
    • Maori
    • Mohawk
    • Nuk
    • Ojibwe
    • Talossan

Customized world

  • World height/depth can now be adjusted to a max of Y=-2048 to Y=2031, mountain and cave generation scales accordingly similar to amplified world type.[2][3]
