Minecraft Snapshot 22w14a

Mangrove trees! Warm frogs! Mud blocks! More mangrove trees! Today, we’re happy to bring you the most mud-tastic Java snapshot to date!

Sure, it might be our only mud-tastic snapshot to date – but the important thing is that our new biome, mangrove swamp, now is available for testing, along with nitty-gritty features like the recovery compass and other, more technical tidbits.

Enjoy!

New Features in 22w14a#

• Added Clay renewability
• Added Mangrove Trees
• Added Mangrove Swamp biome

Clay renewability#

• Placing Mud above a block that has Pointed Dripstone underneath will eventually turn the mud block into Clay

Mangrove trees#

Introducing a new type of water-adapted tree that spawns propped up on roots

Mangrove Swamp#

Muddy! Murky! Magnificent! Welcome to the newest biome - the Mangrove Swamp

• Located in warmer, more humid places where you'd normally find the Swamp biome in Minecraft
• Here you can find Bees and Warm Frogs
• The floor of this biome is coated with a thick layer of Mud, so be sure to pack your best boots
• Have a nice boat ride under and around the larger-than-life roots of mangrove trees

Recovery Compass#

A new Recovery Compass can be crafted with Echo Shards which can only be found and are unique to Ancient City chests

• Unlike a normal Compass, the Recovery Compass will point to the last place you died
• If you are not in the dimension you last died, or you haven't died yet in your world, it will randomly spin
• It can be crafted with 1 Compass surrounded by 8 Echo Shards, which can be found in Ancient Cities

Changes in 22w14a#

• The Warden will now get angry at ALL living mobs that bump into it, not just players

Technical Changes in 22w14a#

• CatType fields on enitites with type minecraft:cat have been replaced with variant, with numeric values being replaced with string ids (so, for example, 5 becomes minecraft:calico)
• Some mutually exclusive tests in entity predicate (, , and ) have been collapsed to field

Predicates#

Entity predicate#

• player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt and catType fields have been replaced with type_specific
• type_specific has field (one of , , or ) and same fields as removed fields

Advancements#

• Removed field location from triggers location, slept_in_bed, hero_of_the_village and voluntary_exile - it was handled exactly the same as player.location

New triggers#

• Triggered when an allay delivers an item to a player
• Conditions:
  • player - a player for which this trigger runs

allay_drop_item_on_block#
