20w48a is the third snapshot for Java Edition 1.17, released on November 25, 2020,[1] which adds dripstone blocks and pointed dripstone.
Additions[]
Blocks[]
- Decoration block.
- Does not generate anywhere currently, is only available from the creative inventory.
- Can be placed on the floor or ceiling, creating stalagmites or stalactites respectively.
- Can be combined to form longer stalactites and stalagmites.
- Stalagmites break if not attached to something below, and hurt entities which fall on top of them.
- Enemies that fall on the stalagmites deal three times more fall damage
- Stalactites fall if unsupported, and hurt entities they fall on.
- Damage is relative to height: For example, one falling from 2 blocks deals 2 of damage, and one falling from 3 blocks deal 4 of damage.
- They drip water or lava into cauldrons if a source block is placed above the stalactite, and gradually fill the cauldron. Water drips even without any water above the block, but does not fill the cauldron.
- Thrown tridents break pointed dripstone.
Command format[]
freezeDamage
- Whether entities take damage from freezing inside of powder snow.
