Changes[]
Blocks[]
- Now uses the top texture on the bottom face.
- Texture changed to include hinges.
- Now visually connects when traveling up soul sand, 8-layer snow stacks and the back of upside-down stairs.
- Particles are now generated across the entire area of the redstone wire; previously they only appeared at the center.
- This now causes the particles to appear at the incorrect positions when millions of blocks away from the spawn point, due to precision loss[2] (see Java Edition distance effects).
- Lowered the amount that they grow when using bone meal.
Mobs[]
- General
- Mobs can no longer spawn within blocks occupied by a wither rose (except wither skeletons).
- Spawning has been tweaked to more closely follow mob caps.
- Mobs in soul sand valleys and warped forests will create a radius around them that prevents other mobs of the same type from spawning, which gets bigger as more mobs spawn.
- Now have their own mob category and mob cap.
- Now become zoglins and zombified piglins respectively when in the End.
- Villagers can now spawn iron golems regardless of their profession status or latest working time.
World generation[]
- Bastion remnants are now slightly less common.
- Tweaked biome distribution.
Gameplay[]
- Creative inventory
- Block categories and tag names are no longer bold.
General[]
- Changed the
stairs
block and item tags to use their respectivewooden_stairs
tag.- This has effectively made crimson stairs and warped stairs a part of this tag.
