Minecraft Snapshot 25w19a

Take aim for this snapshot! It's a bit smaller this week, and you might want to train a bit more to learn the new projectile mechanics! And while you are here, why not enjoy some misty peaks at a distance!

Changes#

• Projectiles target tolerance margin now changes over time
• Fog was tweaked for improved atmospheric perspective
• It now becomes foggier when it rains
• The test framework will no longer try to restart running tests after a server restart

Projectile Targeting#

• Projectiles now have a target tolerance margin that changes over time
  • Previously, all projectiles had a fixed 0.3 blocks target tolerance margin
  • Now, all projectiles start with no margin for the first two ticks of their flight
  • After that, the target margin will expand by 0.05 blocks per tick until it reaches the previous 0.3 blocks margin
  • This allows for better precision close to the shooting player or entity, while still allowing for some collision leeway when the projectile is further away

Technical Changes#

• The Data Pack version is now 76
• --quickPlaySingleplayer command line argument can now be used without an identifier to launch into the last played world

Data Pack Version 76#

• The scale attribute for the Happy Ghast now has a limit of 1.0

Entity Data#

tnt#

• The entity that primed the TNT is now stored in an optional owner field (UUID of Living entity)

vex#

• The owner of a Vex is now stored in an optional owner field (UUID of Mob)

Resource Pack Version 60#

• Panorama textures must now all be the same size, and square
• Sounds for the Dried Ghast Block have been changed

UI Sprites#

• The Mob Effect atlas has been removed, and sprites in the textures/mob_effect/ folder are now included within the GUI atlas
  • This means Mob Effect sprites now support GUI sprite scaling properties

Shaders & Post-process Effects#

Shader fog changes#

• The fog is now split into environmental and render-distance-based
• Previously both those concepts were mixed in the same uniforms
• Environmental fog is supposed to represent the "fogginess" of the environment the player is in: lava, water, and now also atmosphere
• Render distance fog is supposed to obscure the border of visible terrain
• Environmental fog uses spherical distance to determine its intensity, render distance fog uses cylindrical distance
• The resulting fog value for any given vertex is the maximum of both

Fog Uniform Block#

• FogStart was renamed to FogRenderDistanceStart and now represents the render distance fog start
• FogEnd was renamed to FogRenderDistanceEnd and now represents the render distance fog end
• FogEnvironmentalStart is new and represents the start of environment-based fog
• FogEnvironmentalEnd is new and represents the end of environment-based fog
• FogShape was removed. Render distance fog is now cylindrical and environmental for is spherical

Sound Events#

• block.dried_ghast.hit has been removed
