23w05a is the third snapshot for Java Edition 1.19.4, released on February 1, 2023,^[1] which introduces a new design for the "Create New World" screen, makes all armor trimmable, and fixes bugs.

Options

• Added the "Glint Speed" and the "Glint Strength" accessibility options for adjusting the speed and transparency of enchantment glints.

Armor and elytra

• Now it is possible to swap an equipped piece of gear with another one by using the latter.

/effect

• infinite is now a valid option for effect durations.
  • Infinite effect durations show up as "∞" in the player inventory view.

"Create New World" screen

• Now organized into three tabs:
  • The Game tab allows to set the world name, gamemode, difficulty, and whether to allow cheats.
  • The World tab allows to set the world type and world seed, and to toggle the generation of structures and the bonus chest.
  • The More tab provides access to game rules, experiments, and the data pack selection screen.
• Removed the Import Settings button and the corresponding Export Settings button in the Edit World screen.

Options

• Changed how tooltips in the menu UI are positioned.

These changes only take effect when the 1.20 experimental data pack is enabled.

Smithing templates

• The following common armor trim smithing templates now always generate 2 each in a chest when found:
  • Dune armor trim
  • Coast armor trim
  • Wild armor trim
  • Sentry armor trim
• Netherite upgrade smithing templates have been made twice as common.
• 1 eye armor trim is now guaranteed to generate in every stronghold library chest.
• Woodland mansions now have a greatly increased chance of generating the vex armor trim.
• Across the board, smithing templates have been made slightly more common.
• The texture of the dune armor trim has been tweaked, so that the symbol on the chestplate is moved up a few pixels.

Armor

• Armor trims can now be applied to leather armor.
• Armor can now have trims of the same material it is made out of.

Data pack

• The following data is now also defined by a trim material:
  • override_armor_materials: an optional map of armor material to overridden color palette.
    • Map key is the armor material that this trim material wants to override with a different color palette.
    • Map value is the name of the color palette that will be used when this trim material is applied to an armor piece with the corresponding armor material.
• The following data is no longer defined by a trim material: incompatible_armor_material

Tags

• Added leather_helmet, leather_chestplate, leather_leggings, and leather_boots to #trimmable_armor item tag.
