    • Format: object with fields:
      • Template:Cd - Density Function, the input function to sample
      • Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd - object with fields, the configuration for this axis

          • Template:Cd
            • 2 samples per axis
            • Value is continuous, gradient is constant within a cell but discontinuous across cell boundaries.
            • Values at cell vertices always equal the cell value.
          • Template:Cd
            • 2 samples per axis.

            • Values at cell vertices do not necessarily equal the cell value.
        • Template:Cd - integer between 1 and 64, the size of each upscaling cell.
  • Changed Template:Cd
  • Added Template:Cd
    • Samples an input function by applying an offset to each sampled coordinate.
      • Note: if the offsets change rapidly by large amount, performance may degrade significantly. This function should be used sparingly.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • Template:Cd — density function, the input function to sample.
      • Template:Cd — density function, the offset to apply to sampled X coordinates.
        • The result is implicitly truncated to an integer.
        • If not specified, defaults to: Template:Cd.
      • Template:Cd — density function, the offset to apply to sampled Y coordinates.
        • The result is implicitly truncated to an integer.
        • If not specified, defaults to: Template:Cd.
      • Template:Cd — density function, the offset to apply to sampled Z coordinates.

    • At least one of Template:Cd, Template:Cd, or Template:Cd must be specified.

Dedicated server properties

  • Added Template:Cd
    • A list of comma-separated ids.
    • If non-empty, the server will match the values against Template:Cd property in Template:Cd packet.
      • If there is no match, the server will reject the connection.
    • This works both for both status and login connections, so any user connecting without the correct Template:Cd in the server address will not see the status and will not be able to join the server.
  • Added Template:Cd field
    • If non-empty, the value of this field will be sent in the Template:Cd packet JSON payload under the contact property.
    • This value is meant to be used to signal a way to contact the server owners about the server, even if there is no website or other information about it.
    • This field is meant to be human-readable, but there are no other restrictions on field format.
  • Added Template:Cd field
    • This option allows disabling existing legacy (pre-1.7) server status and ping protocol handling.

Minecraft:Friends list

  • Updated the design of the Friends list.
  • Added searching.
    • In the Friends tab, the profile name text box used for sending requests also functions as a search box.
    • In the requests tab, a search box appears at the top if the player has 15 or more requests.
  • Added sorting.
    • Sort modes can be cycled through by pressing the new sort button.
    • The current sort modes are:
      • Sort by who's online - friends who are listed as online appear at the top of the list.
      • Sort by alphabetical order - friends are sorted according to the alphabetical order of their names.
  • Clicking on a player's icon in the Friends list now opens their Player Options.
  • Removed "Remove Friend" button.
    • This functionality is now accessible through Player Options instead.

Gameplay screen keyboard navigation

  • Gameplay screens can now be focused and used with the keyboard
  • Tab moves between groups of slots, and the arrow keys move between slots within a group..
    • The stonecutter recipes, loom patterns, enchanting table options, and villager and wandering trader trades are also navigated as a group.
  • The following interactions can be used on slots:
    • Enter/Space behaves as a left-click.
    • Holding Control while pressing Enter/Space behaves like a right-click.
    • Holding Shift while pressing Enter/Space behaves like Shift-clicking.
    • Double-pressing Enter/Space collects matching items, like double-clicking.
    • Moving with the arrow keys while holding Enter/Space spreads the carried stack across slots, like holding left-click and dragging with the mouse.
    • The hotbar keys and the Drop item key act on the focused slot.
  • The Creative Inventory and the Recipe Book are not yet supported.

Launcher metadata

  • Tweaked default JVM options in the launcher metadata for this version.

Minecraft:Mob variant definitions

Minecraft:Narrator

  • The narrator now reads out slots in gameplay screens.
    • Slots are narrated with their contents, item tooltip, and name for special slots such as armor, fuel, and potion slots.
    • The slot's position is narrated (e.g. "3 out of 9") in a group or as a column and row in a grid.
  • Stonecutter recipes and loom patterns are narrated with their column and row, and trades and enchanting table options with their position in the list.
  • When a group is focused, the narrator mentions which arrow keys move within it.

Network Protocol

  • The server now more consistently disconnects clients when a packet they sent causes an error.
  • Added Template:Cd custom packet payload
    • This packet is intended to inform servers about client mods to simplify debugging.
    • Vanilla client sends an empty packet at the start of configuration phase, as it does not know about any mods – that is still a responsibility of 3rd-party modding platforms.
  • Modified Template:Cd packet
    • The Template:Cd field in the serverbound intention packet can now hold additional parameters (previously it stored only the domain name used for connecting to a server).
      • The new format is similar to URI query strings – the domain can now optionally be followed by a Template:Cd character and then followed by Template:Cd pairs separated by a Template:Cd character.
      • Empty values can be omitted (including Template:Cd sign).
      • Keys and values are escaped according to the standard URI rules ("percent-encoded component").
      • Keys starting with Template:Cd are reserved for vanilla use.
      • Users can now input properties in any "Server Address" field in the server list.
      • If a server uses SRV DNS records, the host field will contain both original and resolved domains.
        • If the resolved domain is different from the original domain, the resolved one will be used as the "primary" one, while the original one will be added as Template:Cd ("origin") property.
        • Example host string: Template:Cd, while the port field in the intention packet will be set to the resolved port value.
      • The field size has been extended to 1024 characters.
      • Note: since the Template:Cd packet is unencrypted, properties should not be used for any security-sensitive purpose.
  • Modified Template:Cd packet
    • Added Template:Cd field – a string to string map of properties that will be added to the host field in the Template:Cd packet sent to the target server.
  • Modified Login Protocol
    • Encryption and compression must now be explicitly applied by the server by sending one of two packets that carry connection options.
      • The client must acknowledge the change with a matching packet.
      • Every packet sent and received by the client after the acknowledgement will use the new settings.
      • Previously changes were applied immediately on both sides, which might have lead to malformed packets.
    • Packets that can carry options:

Minecraft:Options

  • "Graphics API" Video Setting:
    • "Default" will now randomly pick either OpenGL or Vulkan on each startup.
    • The game will no longer change the graphics API setting automatically if a startup crash is detected.

Minecraft:Resource pack

Minecraft:Shaders

  • screenquad.vsh was renamed to screentriangle.vsh since it was actually representing a single triangle for a while now.
  • Removed OIT (Order-Independent Transparency, controlled by "Improved Transparency" video setting) support from the clouds.fsh, since it is now used to render clouds when OIT is off and to render clouds to an offscreen target when OIT is on.
  • Added blit_clouds.fsh shader with OIT support that renders clouds from an offscreen target to OIT targets.

Minecraft:Sky

  • When "Improved Transparency" is on, sky background and clouds that are behind the terrain are now blended into the terrain render distance fog making the boundary between the sky and the terrain invisible.
  • In the Overworld, the bottom half of the skybox is now occluding the celestial objects such as the Minecraft:sun, the Minecraft:moon and the stars.
