Command format

/posteffect

  • Allows adding or removing post effects to players.
    • These are post processing shaders that are applied to the player's screen, after the game has finished normal rendering.
  • Post effects exist on the client (in resource packs), not the server – the server cannot know if one will actually apply.
  • Post effects themselves were already part of the resource pack format, but only a few hardcoded ones were available to use.
  • Syntax:
    • /posteffect add <player> <posteffect> – adds the post effect to the player, if it does not already exist.
    • /posteffect clear <player> – removes all post effects from the player, if any exist.
    • /posteffect list <target> – lists all post effects applied to the player, if any exist.
    • /posteffect remove <player> <posteffect> – removes the post effect from the player, if it exists.

General

Block predicates

  • Added minecraft:height_range
    • Checks the height of the position against a given range.
    • Format:
      • min_inclusive: Vertical Anchor describing the minimum height required.
      • max_inclusive: Vertical Anchor describing the maximum height required.

Data component format

  • Added minecraft:attack_animation
    • The animation to play when the item is being used to attack something.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • type – swing animation type, one of whack or stab.
      • duration – positive integer, the length of the animation in ticks.
  • Added minecraft:interact_animation
    • The animation to play when the item is being used to interact with something.
    • Format: same as minecraft:attack_animation
  • Added minecraft:block_transformer
    • This component allows items to transform a block into another block on player interaction.
    • Format: list of objects with fields:
      • block_state_provider - block state provider, used to provide the state for the transformed block.
        • If the block state provider returns no result (as by rule_based_state_provider, for example), the next rule in the list will be attempted.

    • Syntax:
      • /execute execute if unless items block <pos> <slot source> <item predicate>

      • 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.

    • /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.

    • /item override
      • Overrides the contents of each destination slot with the corresponding source item.

      • surface_level - Density Function, duplicated from noise_router.preliminary_surface_level
      • exclusion - Density Function, any aquifer cell where this value is positive will have no fluid.
  • The ore_veins_enabled field has been replaced by an optional list of ore_veins objects:
    • If not present, no ore veins will be generated
    • Fields:
      • ore_block - Block State, the ore block to place
      • raw_ore_block - Block State, the raw ore block to place.
      • filler_block - Block State, the filler block to place.
      • raw_ore_chance - float between 0 and 1, the probability for a raw_ore_block to be placed instead of an ore_block.
      • density - Density Function, the probability between 0 and 1 for the ore vein to replace a block.
        • If 0 or lower, no block will be replaced
      • richness - Density Function, the probability between 0 and 1 for ore_block or raw_ore_block to be placed (as opposed to filler_block).
        • If 0 or lower, all blocks will be filler_block.
        • If 1 or greater, no blocks will be filler_block.
      • filler_gap - Density Function, acts as an override to richness: if positive, filler_block will always be placed.
  • The following fields from noise_router have been moved:
    • barrier, fluid_level_floodedness, fluid_level_spread, lava - moved into aquifers field.
    • vein_toggle, vein_ridged, vein_gap - moved into ore_veins field.
  • 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.
    • Format: list of target hypercubes
      • Target format: map between Density Function ID and a range on that axis:
        • Range is specified as one of:
          • Float, an exact target value.
          • Array of 2 floats, a range of target values in form [min, max].
          • An object with fields:
            • min - float, the minimum value of the target range.
            • max - float, the maximum value of the target range.

    • 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.

          "amplifier": "<integer bounds>",
          "ambient": true/false,
          "visible": true/false
        }
    }

    • 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.

    • Updated core shaders to support order-independent transparency
      • Introduced new defines:
        • OIT - A boolean indicating if OIT is enabled.
        • OIT_ALWAYS_WRITE_DEPTH - A boolean indicating that the OIT algorithm should always write depth for the executing pipeline during the depth bounds stag.
        • OIT_DEPTH_BOUNDS - A boolean indicating if the depth bounds pass is being executed.
        • OIT_TRANSMITTANCE - A boolean indicating if the transmittance pass is being executed.
        • OIT_ACCUMULATE - A boolean indicating if the accumulate pass is being executed.
        • OIT_ALPHA_ONLY - A boolean indicating if either the depth bounds or transmittance pass is being executed.
        • OIT_ADDITIVE - A boolean indicating that the OIT algorithm should emulate additive blending for the executing pipeline.
        • OIT_OPAQUE_PARTS_THRESHOLD - A float determining above which alpha threshold a fragment should be considered solid and not go through OIT.
        • OIT_WAVELET_RANK - An integer internal to the OIT algorithm.
        • OIT_COEFF_COUNT - An integer internal to the OIT algorithm.
        • OIT_COEFF_ATTACHMENT_COUNT - An integer internal to the OIT algorithm.
        • RENDERPEARL_IS_ZERO_TO_ONE - A boolean indicating if the current rendering backend uses the depth range of [0, 1], it is available globally to all shaders independently of the OIT setting.
        • 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.
        • Affected shaders:

    • 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.
  • Shader compilation changes
    • Shaders are now compiled by ShaderC when using OpenGL as well, identically to when using Vulkan.
    • Shader includes are now handled by ShaderC using #include instead of #moj_import
    • Shader inputs and outputs must have a location specified in shader source.
      • Vertex input names must still match expected names.
      • Vertex outputs are matched to fragment inputs solely by location, name is now ignored.

    • The format is identical to that which was formerly written within the condition Material Rule type, with the following extension:
      • Material Conditions can also now be specified as an ID reference to an element in the worldgen/material_condition registry.
  • Material Rule Registry
    • A new data-driven registry has been introduced, loaded from data/<namespace>/worldgen/material_rule/<id>.json.
    • Elements in this registry define a pipeline for selecting what base block to place in the world at a given position.
    • The format is identical to that which was formerly written in the surface_rule field within noise settings files, with the following extensions:
      • Material rules can now be specified either inline (as previously), or as an ID reference to an element in the worldgen/material_rule registry.
      • Material conditions can also now be specified as an ID reference to an element in the worldgen/material_condition registry.
  • 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.

      • 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.
  • Placement Modifiers
    • Changed minecraft:offset placement modifier
      • Renamed from random_offset.
      • Format:

        • include_interior: optional boolean (default true) for whether to place interior blocks of the cuboid.
        • include_edges: optional boolean (default true) for whether to place edge blocks of the cuboid.
          • Setting this to false generates a somewhat "rounded" cuboid.
    • Added minecraft:random_chance
      • Gates the feature being placed behind a random chance.
      • Format:
        • chance: float value between 0 and 1 representing the chance that the feature gets placed.
    • Added minecraft:randomly_selected
      • Randomly selects a placement modifier from a list and delegates placement to it.
      • Format:
        • placements – non-empty list of Placement Modifiers to pick from.
  • Rule Tests
    • These are the predicates used by ore features (targets[].target) and rule structure processors (rules[].input_predicate and rules[].location_predicate).
    • Added rule test type minecraft:height_match
      • Checks the y-level of a block, returning true only if it is greater than or equal to min_inclusive and less than or equal to max_inclusive.
      • Format: object with fields:
        • min_inclusive – int, the minimum y value of allowed blocks (inclusive).
        • max_inclusive – int, the maximum y value of allowed blocks (inclusive).
    • Added rule test type minecraft:all_of
      • This checks a list of Rule Tests for whether all of them return true for the same block.

        • rules - list of Rule Tests, the rules to test the block against.
    • Added minecraft:any_of
      • This checks a list of rule tests for whether any of them returns true for the same block.
      • Format: object with fields:
        • rules – list of rule tests, the rules to test the block against.
    • Added minecraft:not
      • This checks a rule test for whether it returns false for a given block.
      • Format: object with fields:
        • rule – rule test, the rule to test the block against.
  • Structure Placements
    • Added minecraft:dimension_origin
    • New structure placement that places a single instance of the structure at the dimension origin.
      • The dimension origin is defined as the spawn_target for noise settings based dimensions, otherwise Chunk (0, 0).
    • No additional fields.
  • Structure pool elements
    • Changed minecraft:feature_pool_element
      • Can now connect to jigsaw blocks with any target name, instead of just minecraft:bottom.
  • Vertical Anchors
    • Added a new option for vertical Anchors: relative_to_sea_level
      • Specifies an offset to the sea level of the dimension.
