Additions

Blocks

File:Red Sand JE1 BE1.png Minecraft:Red sand

• Generated on the lowest surface levels of the mesa biome.
• Behaves like normal sand.
• Can be smelted into Minecraft:glass and crafted into Minecraft:TNT, but cannot be crafted into Minecraft:sandstone.

Non-mob entities

• Can only be obtained using Template:Cmd, Template:Cmd or Template:Cmd.
• Activated by Minecraft:activator rails.
  • Run their command every so often as long as they are powered - a command block minecart going across a single powered activator rail at full speed runs its command thrice.
• Can be success-tested while on a Minecraft:detector rail with a Minecraft:redstone comparator next to the rail (just like how the minecart with chest and minecart with hopper can be fill-checked).

Changes

Items

Minecraft:Enchanted books

• Can now give multiple enchantments.

World generation

Minecraft:Badlands

• Minecraft:Orange terracotta generates in place of sandstone, but not in the same type of formation.

General

Logging

• Now done using Log4j 2.
  • Default logging location is now in logs/latest.log, older logs are archived in logs/year-months-day-counter.log.gz with GZIP compress. The year is 4 digits, and the month and day are both 2 digits. The counter is the number of startups on the day. The counter is 1 when the first startup of the day and increasing each startup.
  • The way logs are saved can be changed, examples: HTML page, database, errors only, no logging at all.
  • As a result, this is the first version to be affected by the Log4Shell security vulnerability, although running the game through the current launcher will automatically apply a patch to fix it.

Trivia

• 13w39a was previously removed from the Minecraft:launcher for some time, but was added back in September 2018.
