Changes

World generation

Minecraft:Abandoned camp

• Added a new campsite variant for each biome.
• Minor tweaks to abandoned camp structures.

• Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd can now additionally be defined by an inline number.

Minecraft:Data pack

• The Minecraft:pack format version is now Template:Cd.

Equipment assets

• The Template:Cd field has been replaced with Template:Cd. This can be used to swap out the texture or palette used with specific trim materials or patterns for a given equipment asset, not just swap specific palettes.
  • Format: list of override entries with fields:
    • Template:Cd – object with fields, the material and/or pattern to match.
      • Template:Cd – optional trim material ID, the material to match (if specified).
      • Template:Cd – optional trim pattern ID, the pattern to match (if specified).
        • Note: this is not the palette ID, as Template:Cd used to be.
      • At least one of material or pattern must be specified.
      • If both are specified, both must match for the entry to be used.
    • Template:Cd – optional trim pattern asset ID, a replacement texture to use if this entry matches.
      • Textures are specified in the same format as Template:Cd
      • If not specified, the default texture for the pattern will be used.
    • Template:Cd – optional palette ID, a replacement palette to use if this entry matches.
      • If not specified, no palette remapping will be applied to the texture.
    • The first matching entry will always be selected.
    • At least one of texture or palette must be defined.

Minecraft:Loot table types

• Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd is now available in context, as the center of the block being interacted with.

Rendering

• Terrain blocks are now rendered with MultiDrawIndirect on supported devices.

Minecraft:Resource pack

• The version is now Template:Cd.

Settings

New World Options UI

• The World Options button has been moved to the Minecraft:Game Menu where the Open to LAN button used to be, replacing it.
  • The World Options screen is divided into two sections: "General" and "Multiplayer".
  • The "General" section contains the same options as the previous World Options screen.
    • The Lock World screen has been changed.
  • The "Multiplayer" section contains three options:
    • LAN: changes the multiplayer scope of the world.
    • Command Access: Controls whether players that join a world can use commands or not.
    • Port: the port number to use when opening the world to LAN.
• The Online button used to access the Online Options screen will now always be shown in the Options menu.

Minecraft:Shaders

• terrain.vsh and terrain.fsh shaders are refactored to support multi-draw.
• Some of the members in Template:Cd and Template:Cd are shuffled to use less memory for those uniform blocks.
• Introduced new define: Template:Cd – if present, indicates that an OIT shader should explicitly output a depth value because a device it is running on can produce a slightly different implicit value.

Minecraft:World generation

• Minecraft:Noises
  • The format of noises (defined in the worldgen/noise registry, or inline in noise-based block state providers) has been updated.
  • Noises define a fractal brownian motion configuration with the following properties:
    • Produces output values (approximately) fitting a normal distribution.
    • Unless otherwise specified, fits the output amplitude to Template:Cd
      • Due to the normal distribution, in practice this means that 99.7% of all samples will fit in that range – but values may still be encountered outside of this range.
    • Parameterized by Template:Cd, Template:Cd
      • i.e. between each octave, the amplitude is halved and the frequency doubled.
    • Has stable seeding such that an octave can be boosted, muted, or added without affecting the rest of the octaves.
    • Renamed Template:Cd to Template:Cd.
    • Added Template:Cd – non-negative float, a scale factor to apply to the noise output.
      • If not specified, defaults to Template:Cd.
    • Added Template:Cd – integer between Template:Cd and Template:Cd, the number of octaves to sample.
    • Added normalize – boolean, or Template:Cd, controls how the output amplitude should be normalized.
      • If Template:Cd, Template:Cd is the expected amplitude of the output (i.e. 99.7% of all samples in Template:Cd)
      • If Template:Cd, Template:Cd is the amplitude of the first octave.
      • If Template:Cd, inherits the same normalization behavior as expressed by the previous format.
        • This would generally fit to a range smaller than expected.
      • If not specified, defaults to Template:Cd.
      • Note: normalization is not affected by the Template:Cd field – as such, modifying the amplitude of a single octave will not affect the amplitude of others.
    • Renamed Template:Cd to Template:Cd – list of floats, a scaling factor to apply to each octave.
      • The number of elements in this list must match Template:Cd.
      • As described above, this scaling factor bypasses normalization and will affect the output amplitude.
      • This field is no longer required – if not specified, defaults to all Template:Cd.
• Minecraft:Density functions
  • Added Template:Cd
    • Raises the given base value to an exponent.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • Template:Cd – density function, the base value.
      • Template:Cd – density function, the exponent.
  • Added Template:Cd
    • Computes the square root of the given input.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • Template:Cd – density function, the value for which to compute the square root.
  • Added Template:Cd
    • Computes the natural logarithm of the given input.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • Template:Cd – density function, the value for which to compute the natural logarithm.
  • Added Template:Cd
    • Computes the sign of the input:
      • If the input is positive, returns Template:Cd
      • If the input is 0, returns Template:Cd
      • If input is negative, returns Template:Cd
    • Format: object with fields:
      • Template:Cd – density function, the value of which to compute the sign.
  • Added Template:Cd
    • Computes the distance to a fixed point using the specified distance function.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • Template:Cd – array of 3 integers in form Template:Cd, the point to compute distance to.
      • Template:Cd – one of:
        • Template:Cd – i.e. <math>sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2)</math>
        • Template:Cd – i.e. <math>dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2</math>
        • Template:Cd – i.e. <math>abs(dx) + abs(dy) + abs(dz)</math>
        • Template:Cd – i.e. <math>max(abs(dx), abs(dy), abs(dz))</math>
  • Updated Template:Cd (renamed from Template:Cd)
    • Format: object with fields:
      • Template:Cd – Template:Cd, Template:Cd, or Template:Cd, the axis over which to define this gradient.
      • Template:Cd – one of:
        • Template:Cd – outside the gradient boundaries, the value at the nearest boundary will be used.
        • Template:Cd – the gradient will be repeated outside its boundaries.
        • Template:Cd – the gradient will be repeated such that odd repetitions are mirrored, ensuring continuity between repetitions.
      • Template:Cd – int, the coordinate at which the gradient starts.
      • Template:Cd – int, the coordinate at which the gradient ends.
        • Must not be equal to Template:Cd
      • Template:Cd – float, the value at which the gradient starts.
      • Template:Cd – float, the value at which the gradient ends.
  • Added Template:Cd
    • Removes a dimension from the input domain by taking a "slice" along an axis with a specific coordinate. For example, with Template:Cd and Template:Cd, a slice will be taken along the XZ plane, with all values sampled at Template:Cd.
    • Format: object with fields:
      • Template:Cd – Template:Cd, Template:Cd, or Template:Cd, the axis to remove.
      • coordinate – int, the fixed coordinate to be passed to the input function.
      • input – density function, the input function.
  • Changed Template:Cd
    • Renamed from Template:Cd. No longer computes the density of the main island.
• Structure pool elements
  • Changed Template:Cd
    • Can now connect to jigsaw blocks with any target name, instead of just Template:Cd.
