Warm frogs! Mud blocks! More mangrove trees! Today, we’re happy to bring you the most mud-tastic Java snapshot to date!
Sure, it might be our only mud-tastic snapshot to date - but the important thing is that our new biome, mangrove swamp, now is available for testing, along with nitty-gritty features like the recovery compass and other, more technical tidbits.
Enjoy!
New Features in 22w14a
- Added Clay renewability
- Added Mangrove Trees
- Added Mangrove Swamp biome
- Added Echo Shard and Recovery Compass
Clay renewability
- Placing Mud above a block that has Pointed Dripstone underneath will eventually turn the Mud Block into Clay
Mangrove trees
Introducing a new type of water-adapted tree that spawns propped up on roots
- Have a chance of spawning a Bee Nest
- Grows from Mangrove Propagules
Muddy! Murky! Magnificent! Welcome to the newest biome - the Mangrove Swamp
- Located in warmer, more humid places where you’d normally find the Swamp biome in Minecraft
- Here you can find Bees and Warm Frogs
- The floor of this biome is coated with a thick layer of Mud, so be sure to pack your best boots
- Have a nice boat ride under and around the larger-than-life roots of mangrove trees
A new Recovery Compass can be crafted with Echo Shards which can only be found and are unique to Ancient City chests
- Unlike a normal Compass, the Recovery Compass will point to the last place you died
- If you are not in the dimension you last died, or you haven’t died yet in your world, it will randomly spin
- It can be crafted with 1 Compass surrounded by 8 Echo Shards, which can be found in Ancient Cities
Changes in 22w14a
- The Warden will now get angry at ALL living mobs that bump into it, not just players
Technical Changes in 22w14a
CatType fields on enitites with type minecraft:cat have been replaced with variant, with numeric values being replaced with string ids (so, for example, 5 becomes minecraft:calico)
- Some mutually exclusive tests in entity predicate (player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt and catType) have been collapsed to type_specific field
- Added item_delivered_to_player advancement trigger
- Added allay_drop_item_on_block advancement trigger
Predicates
Entity predicate
player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt and catType fields have been replaced with type_specific
type_specific has field type (one of player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt or cat) and same fields as removed fields
- Example:
- Before:
- After
catType has been wrapped to match new format and now uses new cat variant names instead of texture names:- Before
- New type_specific options:frog has variant field matching frog variant (minecraft:warm, minecraft:temperate or minecraft:cold)
slime applies for slimes and magma creams, has size field matching slime size (smallest is 1)
Advancements
- Removed field location from triggers location, slept_in_bed, hero_of_the_village and voluntary_exile - it was handled exactly the same as player.location
New triggers
item_delivered_to_player
- Triggered when an allay delivers an item to a player
- Conditions:player - a player for which this trigger runs
allay_drop_item_on_block
- Triggered when an allay drops an item on a block
- Conditions:player - a player for which this trigger runs
location - a predicate for the block that the item was dropped on
item - a predicate for the item that was dropped
