21w19a[1] is the twenty-first snapshot for Java Edition 1.17, released on May 12, 2021, which increases the minimum Java version to 16.

Additions

Command syntax

/item
  • New syntax:
    • /item replace <target> with <item stack> [<count>]
    • /item replace <target> from <source> [<modifier>]
      • Copies item for source to target(s), optionally applying modifier.
    • /item modify <target> <modifier>
      • Modifies item (without copying).

General

Tags
  • Added mineable/axe, mineable/hoe, mineable/pickaxe, and mineable/shovel block tags.
    • Blocks with these tags can be destroyed more quickly with the matching tool.
  • Added needs_stone_tool, needs_iron_tool, and needs_diamond_tool block tags.
    • If a block requires the correct tool to drop, these tags determine which tier of that tool is required.

Anvils
  • The maximum length a name of an item can have after being renamed has been increased to 50.
