Today we are shipping the first pre-release for Java version 26.1, the Tiny Takeover game drop! From now on, you should mostly see bugs being fixed. In addition to that, pre-releases don’t follow the regular snapshot cadence of releasing on Tuesdays, so keep your eyes peeled for the next pre-release.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Changes<\/p>\n
Updated the Main Menu background panorama<\/p>\n
Technical Changes<\/p>\n
The Data Pack version is now 101
\nThe Resource Pack version is now 84
\nChanges to the minecraft:nbt text component format
\nChanges to the minecraft:selector, minecraft:nbt and minecraft:object text component formats<\/p>\n
Data Pack Version 101<\/p>\n
The “Default Components” report generator no longer outputs files for entries without any components<\/p>\n
Commands
\nChanges to time<\/p>\n
Syntax:<\/p>\n
time [of ] rate – sets the rate multiplier at which the clock should advance
\nNote: this only changes the rate at which the World Clock and any Timelines dependent on it advance their internal timers
\nFor example, in the case of the minecraft:overworld clock, the day\/night cycle will pass quicker with a larger value, but actual game simulation will not speed up (as would happen with \/tick rate)<\/p>\n
A rate of 1 corresponds to normal speed
\nrate is a float between 0 (exclusive) and 1000 (inclusive)<\/p>\n
Data Components
\nModified minecraft:provides_banner_patterns<\/p>\n
The component now also accepts an ID or a list of IDs in addition to a tag<\/p>\n
Modified minecraft:blocks_attacks<\/p>\n
The field bypassed_by now also accepts an ID or a list of IDs in addition to a tag<\/p>\n
Modified minecraft:damage_resistant<\/p>\n
The field types now also accepts an ID or a list of IDs in addition to a tag<\/p>\n
Loot Functions
\nChanged minecraft:set_instrument<\/p>\n
The options field now also accepts an ID and a list of IDs in addition to a tag<\/p>\n
Predicates
\nAdded minecraft:environment_attribute_check Loot Predicate<\/p>\n
Exactly matches the value of an Environment Attribute at a given position. Note: this predicate requires a context with an origin position set as long as the Environment Attribute can vary positionally.<\/p>\n
Format: object with fields:<\/p>\n
attribute – Environment Attribute ID to test
\nvalue – Exact value of the Environment Attribute to match
\ne.g. {condition: ‘environment_attribute_check’, attribute: ‘gameplay\/piglins_zombify’, value: true}<\/p>\n
Number Providers
\nAdded minecraft:environment_attribute<\/p>\n
Fetches and provides the value of an Environment Attribute (that can be represented as a number). Note: this provider requires a context with an origin position set as long as the Environment Attribute can vary positionally.<\/p>\n
Format: object with fields:<\/p>\n
attribute – Environment Attribute ID to fetch
\ne.g. {type: ‘environment_attribute’, attribute: ‘gameplay\/sky_light_level’}<\/p>\n
World Generation
\nFlower Features<\/p>\n
Features spawned from Bone Meal are no longer restricted to the flower feature type, and instead controlled by the #can_spawn_from_bone_meal Configured Feature Tag
\nThe flower, flower_no_bonemeal, and random_patch feature types have been removed
\nInstead, patches can be expressed as a sequence of count and random_offset placement modifiers<\/p>\n
Int Providers
\nAdded trapezoid Int Provider<\/p>\n
Select a random value with a trapezoid distribution, similar to the trapezoid Float Provider.<\/p>\n
Format: object with fields:<\/p>\n
min: integer, the minimum value to generate
\nmax: integer, the maximum value to generate
\nplateau: integer, the width of the “plateau” of the distribution in which all values are equally likely to occur
\nA value of 0 is equivalent to a triangle distribution
\nA value of max-min is equivalent to a uniform distribution<\/p>\n
Tags
\nConfigured Feature Tags<\/p>\n
Added #can_spawn_from_bone_meal – features that, when added in a biome, can be spawned when using Bone Meal in that biome<\/p>\n
Text components
\n`minecraft:object<\/p>\n
Added a new optional field named fallback that contains a text component to be used when object component itself can’t be displayed (for example when printing messages in server logs or during narration)
\nObjects of type player (player heads) no longer can be used in server status messages (MotD)
\nAll components of that type will be replaced by a fallback text<\/p>\n
Resource Pack Version 84<\/p>\n
Updated textures for Pup to fix issues with overlapping textures<\/p>\n
Item Models
\nminecraft:end_cube Special Model Type<\/p>\n
New special model type that renders a cube with the same texture effects as the End Portal and the End Gateway blocks
\nFields:
\neffect – texture effect to apply, one of: portal, gateway<\/p>\n
Block State Rendering<\/p>\n
End Gateway and End Portal should now look the same when rendered on a Block Display as they look when placed in world<\/p>\n
Shaders & Post-process Effects<\/p>\n
The core\/rendertype_translucent_moving_block shaders have been removed in favor of core\/block<\/p>\n
