  • It will be evaluated with the minecraft:command_slot_source loot type.
  • Can be a slot source in either inline or reference form.
  • Can be a slot source targeting multiple slots.
  • The replace sub-command has new semantics:
    • One by one in the order they are provided by the slot source, the contents of each destination slot are replaced with the corresponding source item.
    • When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the remaining slots are ignored.
      • Example: replace [12345] with (ABC) -> [ABC45]
    • When there are fewer destination slots than there are source items, the remaining items are ignored.
      • Example: replace [123] with (ABCDE) -> [ABC]
  • String notation slot ranges in the form <slot_type> or <slot_type>.<slot_number> are still permitted.
    • Can be a single slot, such as armor.chest
    • Can be multiple slots, such as container.*
    • Acts as shorthand for a minecraft:slot_range slot source using that slot range.
      • Example: hotbar.4 is the same as {type:"minecraft:slot_range",slots:"hotbar.4"}
• The entity argument in the from entity item source can now be a selector targeting multiple entities.
  • When more than a single entity is targeted, the slots sourced from each are concatenated.
• Added new fill and override sub-commands, each with syntax identical to /item replace.
  • /item fill
    • Fills each destination slot with a source item.
    • When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the items repeat until every slot is filled.
      • Example: fill [12345] with (ABC) -> [ABCAB]
  • /item override
    • Overrides the contents of each destination slot with the corresponding source item.
    • When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the remaining slots are cleared.
      • Example: override [12345] with (ABC) -> [ABC__] (where _ represents an empty slot).

/team

• The result of /team join and /team leave subcommands now reflects the exact count of entities that have joined or left (i.e. excluding entities for which teams have not changed).

/tellraw

• The nbt component in a raw chat message will only be resolved up to 64k times.

/tick

• The following subcommands will now signal an error instead of just printing an error message and returning 0:

    • transform_type - optional field, configures how nearby blocks should be affected by the transformation.
      • If not present, defaults to single_block
      • Values:
        • single_block - only affects the block interacted with.
        • copper_chest - if input and output blocks are both copper chests of any weathering state, waxed or unwaxed, this transformation will affect both sides of a double chest.

Noise settings

• Spawn Target
  • The spawn_target field has been updated to allow use of any density function, instead of just a subset of those defined within the noise_router field.
  • The suitability of a candidate spawn position is determined by evaluating, in some arbitrary n-dimensional space, the squared Euclidean distance to a set of target hypercubes.
  • For example, one axis might be temperature and the second erosion - and suitability determined by distance to the square between temperature=0.1, erosion=0.2 and temperature=0.3, erosion=0.5. This would prefer any candidate spawn within those ranges equally, while penalizing candidate spawns very far out of that range.

  • Added optional boolean field update_from_neighbors.
    • Controls if the transformed block should update based on neighboring blocks.
    • Defaults to true

Data pack

• The pack format version is now 110.0.

Environment attribute

• minecraft:gameplay/bed_rule
  • Field explodes has been renamed to destroy_on_use
  • Added destroy_on_leave – optional boolean; if set to true, the bed will be destroyed when leaving it.
    • If omitted, defaults to false

Item models

• Added optional shade_direction_override to block model elements.
  • Accepted values are cardinal directions (down, up, north, south, west, east)
  • When set, this overrides directional shading for the element regardless of face orientation.
• Removed shade from block model elements
  • shade_direction_override: "up" to get the previous shade: false behavior.

Loot tables

• Multiple block loot tables now reference predicates for checking if a tool has Silk Touch and is shears instead of inlining a copy of those checks.

Predicate

• Added vanilla predicates
  • New entries added to previously empty-in-vanilla predicate registry:
    • minecraft:tool/can_silk_touch
    • minecraft:tool/can_shear
• Potion predicates
  • The minecraft:potion_contents data component predicate has been changed to allow matching on specific potion effects.
  • The previous predicate format used a list of potion types, the new format allows for more refined matching.
  • The following fields can be used in any combination, all are optional:
    • potions – A list of potion types or a potion tag to match.
    • effects – A collection predicate of mob_effects predicates to match.
      • The collection predicate format is as follows:
        • contains – A list of mob_effects predicates to match.
        • count – A list of options for matching a specific number of mob effect predicates, which follow the same format as minecraft:effects entity sub-predicate.
          • test – The mob_effects predicate to match.
          • count – The number of matches required, or with min and max will match a range of counts.
        • size – Require the mob effects list to have a specific size, or with min and max will match a range of sizes.
  • The mob_effects predicate format is a mapping of effect types to properties of that effect. All fields are optional, only provided fields will be used for matching:

    {
        "minecraft:<effect type>": {
          "duration": "<integer bounds representing a duration in ticks>",
          "amplifier": "<integer bounds>",
          "ambient": true/false,
          "visible": true/false
        }
    }

• Example of matching on several different effects and criteria:

      "effects": {
        "minecraft:jump_boost": {
          "duration": 3600,
          "amplifier": 5,
          "ambient": true,
          "visible": true
        },
        "minecraft:speed": {
          "duration": {
            "min": 360,
            "max": 3600
          },
          "amplifier": {
            "min": 2
          }
        },
        "minecraft:resistance": {}
      }

Recipes

• Potion brewing recipes
  • Potion brewing recipes are now data-driven. New recipes can be added via data packs, and vanilla recipes may be modified.
  • Brewing recipes use the minecraft:brewing type.
  • The main contents are:
    • input – A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents data component predicate.
    • reagent – A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents data component predicate.
    • output – item stack, the resulting item.
  • Example of a vanilla recipe:

{
  "type": "minecraft:brewing",
  "input": {
    "item": "minecraft:potion",
    "potion_contents": {
      "potion": "minecraft:water"
    }
  },
  "output": {
    "components": {
      "minecraft:potion_contents": {
        "potion": "minecraft:awkward"
      }
    },
    "id": "minecraft:potion"
  },
  "reagent": {
    "item": "minecraft:nether_wart"
  }
}

• Any items may be used in any of the 3 slots, e.g.:

{
  "type": "minecraft:brewing",
  "input": { "item": "minecraft:bucket" },
  "output": { "id": "minecraft:sulfur_cube_bucket" },
  "reagent": { "item": "minecraft:potent_sulfur" }
}

Resource pack

  • It will be applied before other post effects, including the ones enabled by the new posteffect command.
  • This post effect is always on as long as the resource pack is loaded, and cannot be controlled by the posteffect command.
  • As usual with resource pack resources, in case of multiple packs defining this effect, the one from the last resource pack in the list will apply.

Equipment assets

• The trim_palette_replacements field has been replaced with trim_overrides. This can be used to swap out the texture or palette used with specific trim materials or patterns for a given equipment asset, not just swap specific palettes.
  • Format: list of override entries with fields:
    • when – object with fields, the material and/or pattern to match.
      • material – optional trim material ID, the material to match (if specified).
      • pattern – optional trim pattern ID, the pattern to match (if specified).
        • Note: this is not the palette ID, as trim_palette_replacements used to be.
      • At least one of material or pattern must be specified.
      • If both are specified, both must match for the entry to be used.
    • texture – optional trim pattern asset ID, a replacement texture to use if this entry matches.
      • Textures are specified in the same format as asset_id
      • If not specified, the default texture for the pattern will be used.
    • palette – optional palette ID, a replacement palette to use if this entry matches.
      • If not specified, no palette remapping will be applied to the texture.
    • The first matching entry will always be selected.
    • At least one of texture or palette must be defined.

Loot table types

• minecraft:block_interact
  • origin is now available in context, as the center of the block being interacted with.

Rendering

• Terrain blocks are now rendered with MultiDrawIndirect on supported devices.

Resource pack

• The version is now 94.0.

Settings

• Some of the members in Globals and DynamicTransforms are shuffled to use less memory for those uniform blocks.
• Introduced new define: RENDERPEARL_EXPLICIT_DEPTH_INVARIANCE – if present, indicates that an OIT shader should explicitly output a depth value because a device it is running on can produce a slightly different implicit value.

World generation

• Noises
  • The format of noises (defined in the worldgen/noise registry, or inline in noise-based block state providers) has been updated.
  • Noises define a fractal brownian motion configuration with the following properties:
    • Produces output values (approximately) fitting a normal distribution.
    • Unless otherwise specified, fits the output amplitude to [-1; 1]
      • Due to the normal distribution, in practice this means that 99.7% of all samples will fit in that range – but values may still be encountered outside of this range.
    • Parameterized by persistence=0.5, lacunarity=2.0
      • i.e. between each octave, the amplitude is halved and the frequency doubled.
    • Has stable seeding such that an octave can be boosted, muted, or added without affecting the rest of the octaves.
    • Renamed firstOctave to base_octave.
    • Added base_amplitude – non-negative float, a scale factor to apply to the noise output.
      • If not specified, defaults to 1.0.
    • Added octave_count – integer between 1 and 32, the number of octaves to sample.
    • Added normalize – boolean, or "legacy", controls how the output amplitude should be normalized.
      • If true, base_amplitude is the expected amplitude of the output (i.e. 99.7% of all samples in [-base_amplitude; base_amplitude])
      • If false, base_amplitude is the amplitude of the first octave.
      • If "legacy", inherits the same normalization behavior as expressed by the previous format.
        • This would generally fit to a range smaller than expected.
      • If not specified, defaults to true.
      • Note: normalization is not affected by the amplitude_modifiers field – as such, modifying the amplitude of a single octave will not affect the amplitude of others.
    • Renamed amplitudes to amplitude_modifiers – list of floats, a scaling factor to apply to each octave.
      • The number of elements in this list must match octave_count.
      • As described above, this scaling factor bypasses normalization and will affect the output amplitude.
      • This field is no longer required – if not specified, defaults to all 1.0.
• Density functions
  • Added pow
    • Raises the given base value to an exponent.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • base – density function, the base value.
      • exponent – density function, the exponent.
  • Added sqrt
    • Computes the square root of the given input.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • input – density function, the value for which to compute the square root.
  • Added log
    • Computes the natural logarithm of the given input.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • input – density function, the value for which to compute the natural logarithm.
  • Added sign
    • Computes the sign of the input:
      • If the input is positive, returns 1
      • If the input is 0, returns 0
      • If input is negative, returns -1
    • Format: object with fields:
      • input – density function, the value of which to compute the sign.
  • Added distance_to_point
    • Computes the distance to a fixed point using the specified distance function.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • point – array of 3 integers in form [x, y, z], the point to compute distance to.
      • metric – one of:
        • euclidean – i.e. ${\displaystyle sqrt(d{x}^2+d{y}^2+d{z}^2)}$
        • euclidean_squared – i.e. ${\displaystyle d{x}^2+d{y}^2+d{z}^2}$
        • manhattan – i.e. ${\displaystyle abs(dx)+abs(dy)+abs(dz)}$
        • chebyshev – i.e. ${\displaystyle max(abs(dx),abs(dy),abs(dz))}$
  • Updated gradient (renamed from y_clamped_gradient)
    • Format: object with fields:
      • axis – x, y, or z, the axis over which to define this gradient.
      • tiling – one of:
        • clamp_to_edge – outside the gradient boundaries, the value at the nearest boundary will be used.
        • repeat – the gradient will be repeated outside its boundaries.
        • mirrored_repeat – the gradient will be repeated such that odd repetitions are mirrored, ensuring continuity between repetitions.
      • from_coordinate – int, the coordinate at which the gradient starts.
      • to_coordinate – int, the coordinate at which the gradient ends.
        • Must not be equal to from_coordinate
      • from_value – float, the value at which the gradient starts.
      • to_value – float, the value at which the gradient ends.
  • Added slice
    • Removes a dimension from the input domain by taking a "slice" along an axis with a specific coordinate. For example, with axis=y and coordinate=0, a slice will be taken along the XZ plane, with all values sampled at y=0.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • axis – x, y, or z, the axis to remove.
      • coordinate – int, the fixed coordinate to be passed to the input function.
      • input – density function, the input function.
  • Changed end_outer_islands
    • Renamed from end_islands. No longer computes the density of the main island.
• Structure pool elements
  • Changed minecraft:feature_pool_element
    • Can now connect to jigsaw blocks with any target name, instead of just minecraft:bottom.
