Changes

Blocks

Minecraft:Potent sulfur

• When placed above a Minecraft:magma block and under 1–4 water source blocks, it creates a Minecraft:geyser.
  • The geyser will erupt at 50 second intervals, shooting a plume of water particles upwards and applying an upward impulse to entities above it for 4–5 seconds.
  • Entities directly above the potent sulfur block during an eruption will be launched into the air, but will not take damage from the eruption.
  • The height of the plume and how high anything gets launched depends on the number of water blocks above the potent sulfur blocks, with the total height being about 7 blocks above the potent sulfur block for each water block.

Minecraft:Sulfur spike

• Sulfur spikes now have unique sound events.

Mobs

General

• Tweaked various mobs hitbox, eye height, and rider positions.

Minecraft:Hoglins

• Are now considered hostile and despawn on Peaceful difficulty, effectively reverting the change from the previous snapshot allowing them to spawn on Peaceful difficulty.

Minecraft:Sulfur cube

• With a block inside, it is now immune to explosions.
• Added the "Explosive" archetype, with similar properties to "Regular" except for a slightly higher air drag.
  • Used when absorbing a Minecraft:TNT block.
  • Absorbed TNT can be primed by Minecraft:redstone, fire sources (including a Minecraft:dispenser with a Minecraft:flint and steel) or nearby explosions.
  • When primed by fire or redstone, absorbed TNT uses a fuse time of 6 seconds.
  • When primed by an explosion, absorbed TNT uses a randomized fuse time between 0.75 and 3 seconds.
  • Sulfur cubes with an absorbed, primed TNT block cannot be picked up with a Minecraft:bucket, damaged, or sheared.
  • On explosion, no small sulfur cubes are spawned, and the sulfur cube disappears.
• Now have a fuse tag in their entity data.
  • For sulfur cubes that do not have the Explosive archetype, or unlit ones with it, this field is set to -1.

Command format

General

• Team color arguments (used in Template:Cmd and Template:Cmd) now accept only lowercase names with underscores.
  • I.e., only Template:Cd is accepted and not Template:Cd or Template:Cd
  • Values now match color names in text components.

Minecraft:Density functions

• Added Template:Cd
  • Selects between a number of density functions based on an input density function and a set of threshold values.
  • Format: object with fields:
    • Template:Cd - Density Function, the value to be compared with any given thresholds.
    • Template:Cd - non-empty list of floats, the threshold values to compare input with.
      • If Template:Cd, the result of Template:Cd will be selected.
      • If the input is greater than the last threshold value, the last function will be selected.
      • Must be one fewer thresholds than functions.
    • Template:Cd - list of at least 2 density functions, the resulting functions to be selected from.
      • Must be one more element in functions than in thresholds.

• Removed Template:Cd
  • This density function has been removed, with its functionality replaced by Template:Cd
  • When Template:Cd was Template:Cd, equivalent to:

      • Corresponding rarity values: Template:Cd
  • When Template:Cd was Template:Cd, equivalent to:
    • interval_select with thresholds Template:Cd
