Java Edition - Snapshot 23w07a

This week we are bringing you the Sniffer, Archaeology and the Cherry Grove biome as experimental features for update 1.20.

Changes in release 1.19.4 include interaction objects, as well as updates to music players and horse breeding.

Have a good game!

CHANGES

• Music players have changed to match Bedrock
• Updated horse breeding
• The Realms screen has been updated to match the single-player and multiplayer game screens more.

UNLOCKING THE RECIPE

• The workbench recipe opens immediately after creating a new world.
• The crossbow recipe can no longer be opened with sticks.
• Bonfire shower recipe no longer opens with chopsticks.

MUSIC PLAYER

• During the playback of a music disc, it will emit a red stone signal of 15
• Droppers and funnels can now interact with it.

HORSES

• When breeding horses, etc., the speed, height of the jump and the health of babies no longer shift towards the average
• This change is intended to make horse breeding a viable way to get great horses if the player starts with good parents and devotes enough time and golden carrots.

TECHNICAL CHANGES

• The language file of the vanilla en_us resource package is now sorted in alphanumeric order by key.
• Added a new crafting_decorated_pot recipe serializer for the new "Decorated Pot" recipe.
• The SHOW_NOTIFICATION field added to recipes takes a boolean value that determines whether a notification is displayed when unlocking this recipe.
  is true by default if not specified
  

SUBJECTS OF INTERACTION

A new type of object that records attacks ("left mouse clicks") and interactions ("right mouse clicks"). Interactions are invisible and have an arbitrary size.

Fields:

• width : The width of the object's bounding box (default is 1 )
• height : the height of the object's bounding box (default is 1 )
• attack : Records the last action of the attack on the object
• interaction : records the last action of interaction with the object
• response : A boolean value indicating whether the interaction should cause a reaction (waving hands, sound effects, etc. — false by default)

ACTION FORMAT

When an action is saved, it always has two fields:

• player : The UUID (in the standard integer array format) of the player performing the action.
• timestamp : timestamp of the game tick when the event occurred (stored as long)

PROMOTION TRIGGERS

• Interaction with the interaction entity triggers player_interacted_with_entity
• An attack on an interaction object triggers player_hurt_entity

PERFORMING AN ACTION DURING INTERACTION

The essence of the interaction is aimed at the player who last interacted with it. This makes the following possible:

• execute on the attacker : execute as the last player to attack the entity
• execute on target : execute as the last player who interacted with the entity

EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES

• Added a Sniffer mob
• The Cherry Grove biome has been added.
• Archaeology added

SNIFFER

• Sniffer is now available as an experimental feature
• Sniffer is the winner of the mob vote in Minecraft Live 2022 and the first "ancient" mob added to the game.
  Sniffers cannot be seduced or tamed
  Sniffers are passive friendly mobs.
  Sniffers sniff the air and sometimes dig up seeds.
• The torch flower is now available as an experimental feature. Torch flower seeds can be planted on farmland and they will grow into a flower. The seed can be used to breed two Sniffers. An adult flower can be harvested and transplanted, but it can also be turned into paint.
  

CHERRY GROVE BIOME

• A new biome "Cherry Grove" with beautiful cherry blossom trees has been added.
• You can find it in the mountains, for example, in the meadows

PINK PETAL BLOCK

• Added a new "Pink Petals" block with lots of pink flowers on the ground.

CHERRY TREE SET

• A new cherry tree set has been added with all the matching wooden objects that you can make from it. You must have the experimental features of Update 1.20 enabled to see it in the game.

ARCHEOLOGY

BRUSH

• A brush is an item that you can use to clean items.

SUSPICIOUS SAND

• Deserted temples and deserted wells now contain suspicious sand. This fragile block is hard to detect and easy to destroy, so be careful!
• Brushing suspicious sand will remove items that have been buried for a long time.

POTTERY SHARDS

• There are drawings on the pottery fragments
• They cannot be crafted, they can only be found by cleaning Suspicious sand.

DECORATED CHESTNUTS

• If you put four pottery shards together, you get a decorated pot with an image on each side.
• In the recipe for a decorated pot, you can also use bricks instead of shards.
• Smash the decorated pot with any block-breaking tool to crack it and get the pottery shards back. Or hit it with your fist to lift the pot without breaking it.
