Mojang has released the patch notes for Minecraft's first snapshot for Java Edition 1.21, which includes new paintings, music discs, background music tracks, adjustments to Trial Chambers, and more. The Minecraft snapshot also introduces data-driven enchantments, pushing its changelog to over 900 lines.

Minecraft's major 1.21 update is expected to arrive sometime in June and has been dubbed the "Tricky Trials" update by Mojang. Tricky Trials will add Trial Chambers, new blocks like the Crafter, and mobs like the Breeze and Bogged to Minecraft's Java Edition. The update has also generated excitement thanks to features like multiple new Copper-built items and the brand-new Mace weapon. While the update's official release is still at least a month away, players can already test out the development team's newest version of it.

Minecraft: Things To Do If You're Bored

Players who have been playing a lot of Minecraft and getting bored should try out these fun new activities to spice things up.

Minecraft Snapshot 24w18a moves all features from the experimental 1.21 pack to vanilla and also adds 20 new paintings by artists Sarah Boeving and Kristoffer Zetterstrand. Additionally, the Snapshot introduces nine new music tracks, which can be heard on the main menu or in-game while in certain biomes like Badlands, Deep Dark, Cherry Grove, or Flower Forest. Snapshot participants will also encounter three new music discs, one from musical artist Aaron Cherof and two from Lena Raine, with Cherof's being found in standard Vaults and Raine's being found in Ominous Vaults or decorated pots in Trial Chambers.

Minecraft's Enchantments have also been improved by making them data-driven, allowing users to code their own custom enchantments in an easily understandable manner, with paintings receiving the same upgrade. Some users have already taken to the internet to share their new creations, like Twitter user ShockMicro, who created an enchantment that gives the Bow a double-shot capability.

The Snapshot changes Minecraft's Trial Chambers too by introducing multiple layout changes for intersections and corridors, adding new entrance variations, moving Spider spawners to the "melee" category, moving Slime spawners to the "small melee" category, and more. Also, Ominous Trial spawners that use mobs who are unable to wear equipment now spawn double the amount of enemies and can spawn an additional mob at once.

Minecraft's new Copper blocks saw some changes as well, with Copper Doors and Trapdoors now crafted using Copper Ingots instead of Copper Blocks, and oxidized variants of the same two items no longer able to be crafted. Other changes in the Snapshot include projectile knockback no longer being based on the shooter's position and Mace enchantments being made a bit more common in Ominous Vaults.

Minecraft Snapshot 24w18a Patch Notes

Because it's the month of May, may we tempt you with the first Snapshot for Java Edition 1.21? This one looks as excellent as it sounds, thanks to the 20 new paintings and 3 new music discs it adds to the game. And we're not stopping there, data-driven enchantments are also being thrown into the fray with this Snapshot (hence the 900+ line changelog). We also included a batch of new bug fixes for good measure.

Happy mining!

ENCHANTMENTS

Enchantments are now set through data. An Enchantment is a set of core properties like level ranges and cost together with some effects. Most effect types also support a set of conditions, making it possible to apply them only when certain criteria are met.

Enchantments can be added in the registry enchantment. All Vanilla Enchantments can be found in the vanilla datapack in the client and server jar files.

Fields:

  • description: The name of the Enchantment when displayed in text represented as a Text Component

LEVEL-BASED VALUES

Many effects of Enchantments depend on the level of the Enchantment. For these fields, a type called Level-Based Values is used. In their most basic form, Level-Based Values can be written as floating-point constants, which is interpreted as a value that isn't in fact level-based, the constant is used as-is for all levels.

If a Level-Based value is not a floating-point constant, it is an object with a type field, specifying one of the following types.

linear

The most common type of Level-Based Value is a linear value. A linear Level-Based Value has two fields:

  • base: The base value added to all levels
  • per_level_above_first: Amount added for each level above the first one

In effect, a linear Level-Based Value results in base + per_level_above_first * (level - 1).

clamped

A Level-Based Value type that clamps a value between a min and max. Fields:

  • value: A Level-Based Value used as the input
  • min: A floating point value specifying the minimum value of the output
  • max: A floating point value specifying the maximum value of the output

fraction

A Level-Based Value type that represents the fraction between two values. Fields:

  • numerator: A Level-Based Value used as the numerator
  • denominator: A Level-Based Value used as the denominator

levels_squared

A Level-Based Value type that evaluates to the square of the levels, plus an addition. Fields:

  • added: A floating-point value added to the result of the squared levels

In effect, a levels_squared Level-Based Value results in level ^ 2 + added

VALUE EFFECT TYPES

Value Effects are effects used to manipulate the amount of something in the game.

A Value Effect that adds a value to the processed results.

Fields:

  • value: A Level-Based Value determining how much to add

    • The span is 0 to 1, with 0 being no chance to drop an input value and 1 dropping all input values

set

A Value Effect that overwrites the input value with a given Level-Based Value.

Fields:

  • value: The Level-Based Value to use as the result

ATTRIBUTE EFFECTS

Attribute effects use the Attribute system to apply an Attribute Modifier whenever the Enchanted Item is correctly equipped. Attribute effects do not have a dynamic type - they are all the same type.

Fields:

  • name: The name of the Attribute Modifier to add
  • attribute: The ID of the attribute to modify
  • operation: The operation of the Attribute Modifier
    • One of add_value, add_multiplied_base and add_multiplied_total

Location-Based Effects are special effects that activate and deactivate depending on where the owner of the Enchanted Item moves. Location-Based Effect only trigger when such items are initially equipped and subsequently when the owning Entity moves to a new space in the Block grid - i.e. when their coordinates change to a new integer value.

All Entity Effect types can also be used as Location-Based Effects, and in addition attribute can be used to specify an Attribute Effect as a location-based effect.

EFFECT CONDITIONS

Most Enchantment effects are filtered using Conditions (same types as in loot tables). This enables effects to be specific for different situations. Each Effect Component defines which parameters are available for the condition to evaluate - some parameters are available for all of these parameter sets, while some are specific to a certain set.

Each effect component specifies which parameters are available in the Effect Components list below.

Damage Parameters

  • Origin
  • Damage Source

Item Parameters

  • Tool

EFFECT COMPONENTS

The effects field in an Enchantment is a map of Effect Component type the Effect List data. Most Effect Components are lists, so any number of Effects can be added of any Component Type. The data for each effect generally involves having a specified condition context and Effect Type, but some Effects also deviate from this format.

In cases where the documentation specifies a Condition Context and Effect, the Component is a list. Each entry in the list has a field named effect with the effect of the type used by the list. Entries can also optionally include a field named requirements specifying the condition parameters, which are then evaluated with the documented context.

VILLAGER TRADE REBALANCE ENCHANTMENT PROVIDERS

All Equipment-specific Enchantments in Villager trades in the Villager Trade Rebalance experiment are now sourced from Enchantment Providers.

These Enchantment Providers are only used when the Villager Trade Rebalance experiment is enabled and all have the following pattern:

trades/<biome>_<profession>_<equipment>_<level>

For example: trades/desert_armorer_helmet_4 and trades/taiga_armorer_chestplate_5.

ENCHANTMENT PROVIDER TYPES

single_enchantment

An Enchantment Provider which always provides the same Enchantment. The level of the Enchantment can be either constant or randomized.

Fields:

  • enchantment: Namespaced ID of the Enchantment
  • level: Int provider representing the level of the Enchantment

enchantments_by_cost

An Enchantment Provider which gives one or more Enchantments from a set of options according to a given cost (similar to the cost value in the Enchantment Table).

Fields:

  • enchantments: The set of Enchantments as either a single Enchantment, a list of Enchantments or hash-prefixed Enchantment Tag
  • cost: Int provider representing the cost to use for the Enchanting process

enchantments_by_cost_with_difficulty

An Enchantment Provider which works like enchantments_by_cost, but where the cost is calculated partially based on the local difficulty of the area where the event happens causing the Enchantments to be added.

The used cost is a minimum cost plus a uniformly randomized factor up to a base cost span multiplied with the special factor, which starts at 0 for local difficulty up to 2, increases linearly up to 1 for local difficulty 4 and stays at a constant value of 1 for any difficulty above that.

Fields:

  • enchantments: The set of Enchantments as either a single Enchantment, a list of Enchantments or hash-prefixed Enchantment Tag
  • min_cost: Positive integer representing the minimum possible cost
  • max_cost_span: Non-negative integer representing the span of the cost randomization when the special factor is at its maximum

DAMAGE TYPES

  • New damage type: campfire, split from in_fire
