Changes

Mobs

Dolphins

• Now pick the closest structure more accurately, regardless of structure type.

World generation

Bastion remnant

• Bounding boxes are now slightly more accurate to the shape of the structure.

Command format

/locate

• Now support tags, using # prefix to distinguish from normal IDs.
• The parameter is now a configured structure rather than a structure type.
  • For instance, it is now possible to use /locate village_desert or /locate shipwreck_beached.
• The old usage for structure categories is now done via tags.
  • For instance, /locate village is now /locate #village.

/locatebiome

• Now support tags, using # prefix to distinguish from normal IDs.
  • For instance, it is now possibile to use /locatebiome #minecraft:has_structure/igloo.

General

Data packs

• Increased data pack version from 8 to 9.
• It is now possible to add custom structures in experimental datapacks: the game now generates and stores data-driven configured structures.
  • Experimental datapacks can add new structure sets.
  • The feature field in location predicates now references a configured feature.
  • The exploration_map loot table function destination field is now a configured feature tag id.
  • The exploration_map loot table function no longer automatically sets the display name of the map.
• A lot of the cave generation is now configurable through data packs.
  • A new registry was added for Density functions (caves are created by combining those together).
  • Noise settings got a new field noise_router (and lost a couple of flags), see worldgen/noise_settings folder in the worldgen report.
  • Noise router wires data-driven parts of the cave generation with the rest of the code.

General

• Added a warning for users running Minecraft in a 32-bit environment in the main menu, because support for the 32-bit environment will end soon.

Trivia

• This pre-release skipped protocol version 1073741893 due to it being used by Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot 1, despite that version being an experimental snapshot.
