Additions[edit | edit source]

General[edit | edit source]

Game rule

  • Added enderPearlsVanishOnDeath, controlling whether thrown ender pearls vanish when the player that threw them dies, defaults to true.

Tags

  • Added the following structure tags:
    • #on_desert_village_maps: contains village_desert.
    • #on_jungle_explorer_maps: contains jungle_pyramid.
    • #on_plains_village_maps: contains village_plains.
    • #on_savanna_village_maps: contains village_savanna.
    • #on_snowy_village_maps: contains village_snowy.
    • #on_swamp_explorer_maps: contains swamp_hut.
    • #on_taiga_village_maps: contains village_taiga.

Changes[edit | edit source]

Items[edit | edit source]

Explorer map

  • Updated structure icons on explorer maps sold by cartographers.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Recipe book

  • The recipe book search has been updated.
    • The search only matches the beginning of any word in the item's name.
      • For example, searching for "tor" still shows torch and redstone torch, but not daylight detector anymore.
    • All recipes, including those that have not been unlocked, now show up in search results.

Trading

  • When villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic.

Command format[edit | edit source]

Functions

  • Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type.

/execute

  • Temporarily removed syntax /execute (if|unless) function.

/return

  • Temporarily removed syntax /return run.

General[edit | edit source]

Data pack

  • The data pack version is now 18.

Protocol

  • Client options are now sent during the configuration network phase when joining a server.

Experimental[edit | edit source]

Changes[edit | edit source]

These changes are accessible by enabling the "Villager Trade Rebalance" experimental data pack.

World generation[edit | edit source]

Ancient city

  • Increases the chance of generating enchanted books with Mending.

Desert temple

  • Increases the chance of generating enchanted books with Unbreaking (level I to III).

Jungle temple

  • Increases the chance of generating enchanted books with Unbreaking (level I to III).

Mineshaft

  • Increases the chance of generating enchanted books with Efficiency (level I to V).

Pillager outpost

  • Increases the chance of generating enchanted books with Quick Charge (level I to III).

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Trading

  • Added seven new maps which cartographers can sell, depending on the biome they come from.
    • Jungle and swamp villages do not generate naturally. Thus, players must breed villagers or cure zombie villagers in these biomes to access their trades.
    • Village maps points to a village in a specific biome. Jungle explorer map points to a jungle pyramid. Swamp explorer map points to a swamp hut.
