Minecraft:Java Edition 1.10

1.10, the release of the Minecraft:Frostburn Update,<ref>Template:Cite</ref> is a major update to Template:JE that was released on June 8, 2016, which gives players the ability to use Minecraft:structure blocks and adds Minecraft:magma blocks, Minecraft:Nether wart blocks, Minecraft:red Nether brick, Minecraft:fossils made from Minecraft:bone blocks, Minecraft:strays and Minecraft:husks (which are variants of Minecraft:skeletons and Minecraft:zombies, respectively), and Minecraft:polar bears.

Additions

Blocks

File:Bone Block (UD) JE1 BE1.png Minecraft:Bone Blocks

• Crafted by filling a 3×3 square in the Minecraft:crafting table with Minecraft:bone meal.
• Placing it in a crafting table yields 9 bone meal back.
• Found underground in desert and swamps as part of the Minecraft:fossil structure.

File:Magma Block JE1.gif Minecraft:Magma Blocks

• Found in Minecraft:the Nether, generating 4 blobs per chunk between Y=27 and Y=36.
  • It has a similar frequency to blocks like Minecraft:andesite in the Minecraft:Overworld.
• Crafted using four Minecraft:magma cream.
• Mobs and players take Template:Hp damage every second while touching it, similar to a Minecraft:cactus.
  • Unlike cactus or Minecraft:fire, this block doesn't destroy items that touch it.
  • Mobs avoid magma blocks that are in the way.
• Most mobs don't spawn on magma blocks. Exceptions are Minecraft:magma cubes, Minecraft:zombie pigmen and Minecraft:squid.
• If the player is sneaking, wearing Minecraft:Frost Walker-enchanted Minecraft:boots, or under the Template:EffectLink effect, they do not take damage.
• If the player dies by standing on it, a new death message appears: "[Player] discovered floor was lava."
  • If the player dies by the block, but after being damaged by a mob or player, the death message is: "[Player] walked into danger zone due to [Mob or Player]."
• Removes water blocks on top when randomly ticked.
• It produces smoke Minecraft:particles under the Minecraft:rain.
• It emits as much Minecraft:light as it receives from other sources.
  • e.g. A magma block next to a torch emits light at level 13, as that was the light level it received from the torch.
    • If the torch were to be removed then it will search for the next brightest source of light; if no source is found then it will continue to emit the same amount of light as the torch.
    • It can emit daylight if it was exposed to the sun.
• Has a flowing magma animation.

File:Nether Wart Block JE1 BE1.png Minecraft:Nether Wart Blocks

• Crafted by filling a 3×3 square in the crafting table with Minecraft:Nether wart.
• It cannot be crafted back into Nether wart.

File:Red Nether Bricks JE1 BE1.png Minecraft:Red Nether Bricks

• Crafted by placing a 2×2 checkerboard of 2 Minecraft:Nether brick and 2 Minecraft:Nether wart in a crafting table.

File:Structure Void (item) JE1.png Minecraft:Structure Voids

• It is an intangible block used to indicate to the structure blocks that certain Minecraft:air blocks can be overridden by previously existing blocks in the destination.
  • Intended to be a replacement for the function Minecraft:barrier blocks used to convey (during early development), so they can form part of the structure itself.
• They are invisible and have a small hitbox.
  • They are only visible when they are inside a structure being saved by a save Minecraft:structure blocks and the toggle option "show invisible blocks" is true.
• Allows for empty spaces in a structure.
  • Unlike air, it does not overwrite blocks where it is loaded.
  • Example: If the player loads a 2 block high structure with air at the top and a structure void at the bottom into a 2 block high area of stone, the top block becomes air but the bottom remains as stone.

Items

Minecraft:Spawn Eggs

    • The outlines extends arbitrarily up, but ends at Minecraft:bedrock level.

Changes

Blocks

Minecraft:Structure blocks

• The intended purpose is revealed.
  • It is to allow the player to save and load different created structures in game, and offer a way to bundle such structures with the world.
• Are now available in item form; can be given or summoned.
  • Similarly to Minecraft:command blocks, its placement, destruction and modification are restricted to opped players in Minecraft:Creative.
• Now comes with an integrated GUI and new textures.
• The block still has four modes, but each has a completely different texture than the original.
  • Save, S - build structure in world, tell the block where it is and it saves it to file.
  • Load, L - loads saved structure files, replacing blocks with saved blocks except for Minecraft:structure void blocks.
  • Corner, C - for automatic size calculation.
  • Data, D - for chest markers and other blocks that require data (default).
• Structures can be stored, bundled and loaded per world, in the "structures" folder
• Structures are limited to a size of 32 blocks in each direction.
• The coordinates used by the blocks are relative to themselves.
• When in use, it shows the outline of the structure it relates to in white
• Can rotate and mirror structures before they are placed on the three axis.
• L and S structure blocks can be activated by Minecraft:redstone.
• Display a name tag above them indicating their mode and structure name.
• By toggling the option to show invisible blocks in save blocks, Minecraft:air blocks and Minecraft:structure void blocks will be made visible.

  • Uses dark oak wood for wooden structures.
  • New NBT tag MST on mineshaft structure pieces to indicate the type. 0 is the traditional mineshaft, 1 is the new mesa mineshaft.
• Features generate differently if above ground (i.e. the sky light where they generate is 8 or more). This is not dependent on mineshaft type.

• Cobblestone is now generated around wells instead of gravel.
• Paths now only replace Minecraft:grass blocks (with air above), Minecraft:water, Minecraft:lava, Minecraft:sand, Minecraft:sandstone and Minecraft:red sandstone, and no longer replace blocks below sea level. All other blocks are ignored, with blocks below (down to sea level) considered for replacement instead.
  • This allows paths to generate properly under trees.
• Paths are made with different material depending on the existing terrain.
  • If replacing grass blocks, the path is made from Minecraft:grass path blocks.
  • If replacing water or lava, the path is made from Minecraft:planks.
    • In desert villages, Minecraft:smooth sandstone is used instead of planks.

    • In desert villages, sandstone is used instead of gravel and cobblestone.
    • In savanna villages, acacia logs are used instead of cobblestone.
• They have a 2% chance of being a zombie village, determined by Zombie NBT tag in Village.dat.

Trivia

• 1.10 has the fewest number of development versions of any major version of Template:JE, with just three snapshots and two pre-releases being released for this version.
• 1.10 also had the shortest time of any major update between its first development version and the full release, with only 21 days passing between the release of the first snapshot and the full release of 1.10.
• 1.10 was released exactly 5 years before 1.17.
