Minecraft Bedrock: 1.21.100 Update

1.21.100_540.jpg
Release: one month ago

Clonk! Clonk! Clonk! If you thought that's the sound of a copper golem trying jazzercise, think again. It's actually us digging deeper into experimental features only to discover that the Overworld is flat. Hang on, that's not right either? But the Flat World presets in Bedrock now include the Void too! Throw in a number of bug fixes and how you can set your spawn point in the End, and you've got yourself our latest Bedrock release. Happy clonking mining!

Experimental Game Drop Features

To try out upcoming features, enable the Experimental Features toggle in your world settings. These features are still in development and may cause your world to crash, break, or become incompatible with future updates.

Copper Golem

Copper golems are handy, organization-loving companions that'll bring your base to life! Summoned with copper and carved pumpkins, the copper golem removes items you leave in copper chests, and sorts them based on the item type into chests around your base!

  • Copper Golem will drop between 1 and 3 Copper Ingots when killed
  • Copper Golem can help with sorting items into Chests

Copper Golem Item Sorting

  • If the Copper Golem is not holding an item, it will look for nearby Copper Chests to try to pick up an item
  • The Copper Golem will look in any oxidized and waxed Copper Chest variant to pick up items
  • It can pick up max 16 items in a stack at the time
  • Any item in a Copper Chest can be picked up
  • If the Copper Golem is holding an item, it will look for nearby Chests to try to place the item in
  • The Copper Golem will look in Chests and Trapped Chests to try to place items -
  • It can place an item in a Chest if it's empty, or if it contains the same type of item it is holding in its hand
  • The Copper Golem will visit max 10 Chests or Copper Chests in sequence to try to pick up or place an item
  • If no matching chest is found the Copper Golem will idle for 7 seconds before trying again
  • The search area for chests from the Copper Golem's position is horizontally 32 blocks and vertically 8 blocks

Copper Chest

Copper chests are a new block! Summon a copper golem to get your first copper chest, which you can leave to oxidize, or keep pristine with wax. Drop items into a copper chest, and then sit back and relax as your copper golem sorts them into normal chests around your base!

  • Copper Chest is a new type of chest that has waxed and oxidized variants
  • Copper Chests oxidize over time and can be waxed like other Copper blocks
  • Copper Chests can be crafted using a Chest and Copper Ingots

Copper Tools

What comes between stone and iron? Now the answer is: copper! Craft tools, weapons, and armor from copper, giving this early-game ore more uses than ever before. Unlike copper blocks, these items won't oxidize, but like all copper blocks - they will look beautiful!

  • Copper tools and weapons are crafted and repaired using copper ingots. They do the same amount of damage as stone but have higher durability. Copper tools work faster than stone tools, but they are slower than their iron counterparts. Copper tools have higher enchantability than diamond, but slightly less than iron.
  • Copper Axe
  • Copper Hoe
  • Copper Pickaxe
  • Copper Shovel
  • Copper Sword

Copper Armor

  • Copper armor has higher durability than leather but less than iron. Copper armor enchantability sits slightly lower than with iron.
  • Copper Helmet
  • Copper Chestplate
  • Copper Leggings
  • Copper Boots

New Copper Items

  • Copper equipment turns into Copper Nuggets when smelted.

Technical Updates

AI Goals

  • Added the minecraft:behavior.take_block AI goal, allows an entity to take blocks from the world with the following options:
    • blocks: Array of block descriptors that the entity can take, if empty can take any block
    • can_take: Entity filters for when the entity can use the goal
    • on_take: Trigger ran if the entity does take a block
    • xz_range: XZ range from which the entity will try and take blocks from
    • y_range: Y range from which the entity will try and take blocks from
    • chance: Chance each tick to try and take a block
    • affected_by_griefing_rule: If the goal is affected by the mob griefing game rule
    • requires_line_of_sight: If the entity requires line of sight on the block it tries to take
  • Removed the minecraft:behavior.enderman_take_block AI goal, it upgrades to the above goal
  • Added the minecraft:behavior.place_block AI goal, allows an entity to place blocks in the world with the following options:
    • placeable_carried_blocks: Array of block descriptors that the entity can place if its carried item, if empty can place any block from its carried item
    • randomly_placeable_blocks: Array of weighted block descriptors that the entity can randomly place, if empty the entity will try to place the block in its carried item instead
    • can_place: Entity filters for when the entity can use the goal
    • on_place: Trigger ran if the entity does place a block
    • xz_range: X range from which the entity will try and place blocks in
    • y_range: Y range from which the entity will try and place blocks in
    • chance: Chance each tick to try and place a block
    • affected_by_griefing_rule: If the goal is affected by the mob griefing game rule
  • Removed the minecraft:behavior.enderman_leave_block AI goal, it upgrades to the above goal
  • Added the minecraft:behavior.transport_items AI goal, allows a mob to transport items from and to containers
    • Description:
      • If the mob is not carrying an item it will try to find a container matching source_container_types and will attempt to take an item from the first non-empty slot. It will take the largest of max_stack_size and the size of the stack in that slot. If the container is empty or it does not find a match it will remember this container as visited and search for the next container from which to pick up an item. If it fails to find an unvisited container from which to pick up items it will disable the goal for idle_cooldown seconds and reset what containers it has visited. Once it has picked up an item it resets what containers it has visited.
      • If the mob is carrying an item it will try to find a container matching destination_container_types and attempt to put its carried item in it. It will put as much of the carried item as possible into the container. If it is still carrying an item (the container is full) it will remember the container as visited and try to find the next container to put items in. If it fails to find an unvisited container in which to put items it will disable the goal for idle_cooldown seconds and reset what containers it has visited. Once it has stored items and is empty handed again it resets what containers it has visited.
      • If at any point the target container becomes an invalid target (the block could be removed or a chest could have a cat sit on it for example), the mob will mark the position as visited and move to the next target.
    • Fields:
      • source_container_types: A list of block descriptors that should be a container type to get items from. Default is any container
      • destination_container_types: A list of block descriptors that should be a container type to put items in. Default is any container
      • max_stack_size: The maximum stack size that the mob will try to take from a container. Default is 16
      • interaction_time: The amount of time spent interacting with the containers in seconds. Default is 3.0
      • allow_simultaneous_interaction: Whether the entity is allowed to simultaneously interact with a container that another non-player entity is already interacting with. Default is false
      • search_strategy: Whether to select the nearest valid container or a random valid container in range. valid values are "nearest" or "random" (default).
      • search_distance: The maximum horizontal and vertical distance at which to find containers for taking or placing items. Default [62, 32]
      • max_visited_containers: The maximum number of containers the mob will visit before resetting. 0 is unlimited and default is 16
      • initial_cooldown: Time, in seconds, the mob will wait after spawning or after its available goals have changed (e.g. due to a component group update). Default is 0
      • idle_cooldown: When the mob cannot find a valid container to interact with, the goal will be disabled for this amount of time in seconds. Default is 20
      • place_strategy: governs which container contents the goal is allowed to add to:
        • "with_matching": Only allows placing item in a container already having stack(s) of item.
        • "with_matching_or_empty": Like the above, but additionally allows placement in empty containers.
        • "any": Puts no restriction, allows placement of item in container as long as there is space. This is the default behavior.
      • allowed_items: A list of item descriptors that are the only items the mob is allowed to transport. If non-empty disallowed_items must be empty. Default is empty (all items allowed)
      • disallowed_items: A list of item descriptors that are the mob is not allowed to transport. If non-empty allowed_items must be empty. Default is empty (no items disallowed)
    • Requirements and limitations:
      • Initially the component requires the 2025 Drop 3 experiment to be enabled but it will be generally available in a later update
      • A navigation component is needed to enable the mob to navigate to the container. E.g. minecraft:navigation.walk
      • At the moment Chests, Copper Chests, Barrels, and Shulker Boxes are the only supported containers

Add-Ons and Script Engine

  • Custom biome names are no longer implied by their filenames. Biome names are explicitly specified via the "identifier" property under the "description" sub-object of their JSON definition.
  • Biome identifiers must now be namespaced (ex: "minecraft:plains"). Client biomes with a format version lower than 1.21.90 will have their identifier automatically prefixed "minecraft:" when loaded if no namespace is already specified.
  • Updates biome documentation to match updated biome JSON formatting and requirements.
  • Biomes client settings now look up settings based on the biome's full name, including its namespace. Vanilla biomes will fall back on their name without a namespace if an exact match is not found before falling back on default settings (for example, "minecraft:plains" will match itself, then "plains" if no setting was found)

    • Field defaultValue type changed from string to minecraftserver.RawMessage | string

Biomes

  • Adding a new server side biome component surface_builder that will combine the components surface_parameters, frozen_ocean_surface, mesa_surface, swamp_surface, capped_surface, and the_end_surface into one component. Each biome can only use one builder type. The component can be used for world generation settings such as foundation material and sea floor depth.

  • Added "minecraft:humidity" component with "is_humid" this forces a biome to either always be humid or never humid. Humidity effects the spread chance, and spread rate of fire in the biome.

  • Added 'minecraft:partially_frozen' This component will impact the temperature in a frozen biome, causing some areas to not be frozen. Ex: patchy ice, patchy snow.

Commands

  • Added the fov_set keyword to the /camera command for changing the camera's field of view. Enabled with the Experimental Creator Camera toggle

  • 'locate structure' command (and similar structure-searching gameplay elements) will now quickly return no result if experimental Custom Biomes have replaced all of the biomes where that structure could appear

Gameplay

  • When loading a chunk that used a removed custom biome, the removed biome is now replaced with the dimension's default biome, which is Ocean in the overworld

Jigsaw

  • max_distance_from_center now parses horizontal and vertical values separately in an object while supporting horizontal only with parsing as a constant, the vertical value is now optional and defaults to having no limit.
