Release: 2 days ago

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
