Additions[edit | edit source]

1.19 block and item additions

Blocks[edit | edit source]

Froglight

Dropped by small magma cubes when they are eaten by frogs.^[3]
Has three variants: pearlescent (purple), verdant (green), and ochre (yellow).
- Which variant is dropped depends on the frog variant that eats the magma cube.
  - A pearlescent froglight is dropped if a warm (white) frog eats the magma cube.
  - A verdant froglight is dropped if a cold (green) frog eats the magma cube.
  - An ochre froglight is dropped if a temperate (orange) frog eats the magma cube.
Emits a light level of 15.

Frogspawn

Non-solid blocks that can be placed on the surface of water.
- Disappears when water under the frogspawn is gone.
Can't be obtained in survival: does not drop upon breaking, even with Silk Touch.
Laid by frogs after mating, when they are bred with slimeballs.
Hatches tadpoles after some time.
- Tadpole variant depends on the biome where it grows into a frog.

Mangrove leaves

Generated in mangrove trees.
A decorative block.
Can grow mangrove propagules, if used with bone meal.

Mangrove log

Generated as a part of mangrove trees, which are located in mangrove swamps.
Can be crafted into mangrove planks and wood.
Has a stripped variant as well.

Mangrove planks

Crafted from mangrove logs.
Can be used to craft respective slabs, stairs, fences, fence gates, pressure plates, signs, buttons, doors, boats and trapdoors.

Mangrove propagule

A new type of sapling that grows into a mangrove tree when planted.
Grows underneath mangrove leaves.
- Can be grown by applying bone meal to mangrove leaves, grows from the exposed bottom of it.
- Propagules can also grow spontaneously from leaves, but only if they're naturally generated (not player-placed leaves).
- Have 4 stages to fully grown, can be accelerated with bone meal.
Can break off a fully grown one and plant it to grow a mangrove tree.
Can be planted both on land and underwater.
Can be placed in flower pots.
Bees can pollinate them.
Bees follow players holding them and can be bred with them.

Mangrove roots

A see-through decorative block just like leaves, but can be waterlogged.
- Water currently doesn't spread outward like with other waterlogged blocks.
Mining faster when using axes.
Unlike leaves, it does not break when moved by a piston.
- If the roots are waterlogged, the water vanishes.
Can be powered.
Has unique sounds.

Mangrove wood

A new type of wood, as well as a stripped variant.
Can be used to craft mangrove planks.

Mud

Found in mangrove swamp biomes.
Can be created by using a water bottle, directly or through a dispenser, on dirt, coarse dirt and rooted dirt.
Can be converted into clay by placing mud above a block with pointed dripstone underneath. The dripstone dries it out, producing a clay block.^[4]
When walking on mud, entities sink down a bit.
- Like soul sand, but without the slowdown.
Can be held by endermen.

Mud bricks

Can be crafted from 4 packed mud.^[5]
Can be crafted into mud brick slabs, stairs, and walls using a crafting table or stonecutter.

Muddy mangrove roots

Found in mangrove swamp biomes.
Can be crafted from 1 mud and 1 mangrove root.
Unlike regular roots, they are an opaque block that can't be waterlogged and can be rotated.
Mined faster using shovels.

Packed mud

Can be crafted from 1 mud and 1 wheat.
Can be used to craft mud bricks.

Reinforced deepslate

A new block only found in ancient cities shaped like a large frame.
Unobtainable in Survival mode.
- Not craftable.
- Can be broken, but won't drop anything, even with Silk Touch.
Completely blast-resistant, immune to withers and ender dragons. Takes an incredibly long amount of time to mine (82.5 seconds, which is almost 9 times longer than obsidian with a diamond pickaxe).
Cannot be moved with pistons.

Sculk

Generates in the deep dark biome.
Has an animated texture.
Drops only experience when broken without Silk Touch.
Activates nearby sculk sensors and shriekers even when wool is placed on it.
Sculk blocks grow when a mob dies near a sculk catalyst.

Sculk catalyst

Generates in the deep dark biome.
Emits soul particles after a mob dies within 8 blocks, and grows sculk-related blocks.
- Spreads sculk blocks to wherever a nearby mob dies. The amount it spreads depends on the amount of experience the mob is meant to drop.
  - Even if the mob doesn't drop experience as it wasn't killed by a player, the blocks would still spread based on the amount of experience it normally drops.
  - Experience does not drop in these cases.
- The charge decays over time, faster the farther away from the catalyst it moves.
  - If a charge decays more than 4 blocks away from the catalyst, it has a chance of creating either a sculk sensor (90%) or a sculk shrieker (10%).
  - If a charge decays more than 24 blocks away from the catalyst, it merely vanishes.
Drops only experience when broken without Silk Touch.
Emits a light level of 6.
Blooms when activated.
Can spread sculk only on blocks in the sculk_replaceable tag.

Sculk shrieker

Generates in the deep dark biome.
Has two soul-shaped patterns in the center.
Can "shriek", emitting ring-like/sonic particles.
- Is activated by a sculk sensor, redstone signal or player's stepping.
  - Sculk shriekers summon wardens only if there isn't one within 48 blocks.
- Gives players the Darkness effect when activated.
- If activated three times, a warden is summoned from the ground.
  - Player has 4 levels of warning_level (0-3), everytime activated, the levels increased by 1, and never decrease.
  - If a player had successfully summoned a warden, only one attempt is required to summon a warden next time.
Drops only experience when broken without Silk Touch.
Has a can_summon blockstate, which determines whether it can summon a warden and give the player darkness or not.
- Set to true by default for sculk shriekers placed via worldgen.
- Set to false by default for sculk shriekers placed by a player or generated via sculk spread.

Sculk vein

Generates in the deep dark biome on the edge of sculk patches.
Generates in a layer on top of blocks, similar to snow.
Can be placed in all directions, like glow lichen.
Has an animated texture.
Drops nothing when broken without Silk Touch.
Some have parts that are transparent, allowing the player to see the block it is on top of.
Can be waterlogged.

Recovery compass

A new type of compass which can point to the last place where the player died.
Randomly spins if not held by a player, the player hasn't died, or when the player is not in the same dimension of the death point.
Can be crafted with a compass surrounded by 8 echo shards.

Spawn eggs

Allay spawn egg.
Frog spawn egg.
Tadpole spawn egg.
Warden spawn egg.

Mobs[edit | edit source]

Allay

Voted to be in the update during Minecraft Live 2021.
Can find dropped blocks or items for a player, collecting the same items from the world as it holds in its hand.
- Picks up dropped items in loaded chunks and can carry up to a stack at a time,^[6] and cannot duplicate items^[7] or take items out of chests.^[8] It drops its collected items when in range of a note block.
If it holds an item it got from a player, it follows that player, up to a distance of 64 blocks away.
- It can be made to hold an item by interacting with the allay (pressing use).
- The item can also be removed by interacting with the allay (pressing use) while with an empty hand.
Able to drop items at nearby note blocks, and stay close to a note block that has been played near them.
When a note block is played near them, that note block becomes their favorite one for 30 seconds, and they attempt to drop off items at that note block rather than at the player.
- Connecting with note blocks is visualized by the vibration particle.
- Connecting with note blocks can be blocked by wool, by placing wool between the allay and the note block.
If they have items in their inventory, they attempt to give them to their owner.
Sometimes spawn in cages next to pillager outposts (similar to iron golems), and inside woodland mansion jail cells.
There is a 3 second delay for picking up new items after delivering items.
Immune to damage from its owner while holding an item.
Have 20 × 10 health points and a natural health regeneration of 2 per second.

Frog

Comes in three variants: temperate, warm, and cold.
- The temperate variant is orange, the warm variant is white, and the cold variant is green.
Can croak, jump, swim, and slowly walk on land.
- Can jump over 5 blocks.
- Frogs are faster in water than on land.
- Prefer to jump to lily pad and big dripleaf.
Are able to target specific mobs as food, using a base attack strength of 10.
- Eats small slimes, dropping slimeballs.
- Eats small magma cubes, dropping froglights.
Can be tempted and bred using slimeballs.
- Lay eggs on water after mating.
Grow from tadpoles.
- Variants depend on the temperature of the biome it turns from a tadpole to a frog in.
Have 10 health points.

Tadpole

Grows up into a frog 20 minutes after birth, which can be sped up using slimeballs.
- Frog type depends on which temperature it grows in.
Can be held in a water bucket.
Jump around like fish when on land, and eventually die.
- Panics on land and pathfinds to a nearby water source.
Are hunted down by axolotls.
- Also panics if there are axolotls nearby.
Have 6 health points.

Warden

The first fully blind mob (bats have basic eyesight, both in-game and in the real world).
- Because of this, it stumbles as it walks.
- Has a sense of smell. It can detect and pathfind toward the general location of a player or mob through a "smelling" action.
  - Prioritizes smelling the player or mob that it is most suspicious of, rather than the one closest to it.
- Has a sense of vibration. When sensing movement, it pathfinds toward the source of the movement.
  - It follows and attacks players, mobs, and other entities that make vibrations.^{[note 1]}
    - It does not attack other wardens.
  - When it detects a vibration, the growths on its head rattle and light up, similar to the sculk sensor.
    - Seems to follow the same rules as the sculk sensor when detecting vibrations.
    - If any projectile (e.g. egg, snowball, arrow) lands near it, the warden inspects the location where the projectile landed, due to the projectile creating significant vibrations. This feature can be used in order to cause a distraction.
  - Does not detect players that are sneaking.
- Can detect players or mobs that have the Invisibility effect.
Becomes more suspicious of a player or mob as it detects its location more through vibrations and/or smelling. When it suspects the target enough, it identifies its exact location, which aggravates it, causing it to pathfind toward the target to attack regardless of outside distractions.
Spawns in the deep dark biome, specifically when a player activates sculk shriekers three times.
- It is the only mob that spawns in the deep dark biome.
"Emerges" from the ground when spawned by sculk shriekers.
- Digs back into the ground when it doesn't sense any vibration after 60 seconds.
  - Like how name tags prevent despawning, name tags can also prevent wardens from being able to burrow back to the ground.
  - Wardens do not dig back when they're in water.
A mob designed to be extremely difficult, intended to be avoided and fled from.
- Has 500 × 250 health points (more than a wither, except in Bedrock Edition on Hard mode, where wither has 600 × 300 health) and does 30 × 15 damage on Normal difficulty, bringing players wearing full netherite armor from full health to 7 health points. Wardens also disable shields when they hit the players with their fists, and are at least as fast as a walking player.
Is immune to fire damage, knockback, and liquid slowdown.
Drops a single sculk catalyst on death, as well as a negligible amount of experience, making slaying it not worthwhile at all.
- The warden doesn't qualify as a target for the advancement "Monster Hunter" and isn't needed to receive the advancement "Monsters Hunted" due to its role.
Warden's chest has a glowing core that appears to brighten and dim in tandem with the Darkness effect.
- The core creates a low throbbing or "heartbeat" sound as it pulses. The sound and animation speed up rapidly as the warden gets more suspicious of or closer to attacking a player or mob.
Is about 3.5 blocks tall, making it one of the tallest mobs in the game, exceeding the iron golem and enderman in height and width (the same).
Can charge a ranged attack when the player is building high, hiding behind walls or being out of range of their melee attack.
- Their rib cages open up to shriek a sonically charged ranged attack that can penetrate walls and bypasses shields and armor (including the damage reduction by armor enchantments such as Protection).
- The ranged attack deals 10 damage in Normal and can hit at a horizontal distance of 15 blocks.
- The ranged attack can hit only one target at a time.

Non-mob entities[edit | edit source]

Boat with chest

Similar to a minecart with chest, but with a boat instead of a minecart, so the player can take a journey on the water and carry things.
Can hold only one entity.
Crafted by combining a chest with any boat.
Comes in different wood plank variants, including the dark oak, jungle, and the newly added mangrove wood plank variant.
Opening its inventory or breaking it makes nearby adult piglins angry.
Breaking it drops itself and all its items.

Painting

Added unused paintings earth, wind, fire, and water from Bedrock Edition.
- These paintings are not placeable by default, but can be added through commands (such as /summon painting ~ ~ ~ {variant:"water"}) or through a datapack.

- Some of these structures contain dark oak logs, planks, and fences; cyan, light blue, and blue wool and carpets; ladders; ice and its variants; note blocks; stone pressure plates; and iron trapdoors opened with levers.
Hidden underneath the frame of reinforced deepslate are several rooms containing redstone mechanisms that serve to introduce new players to their function.
- Each variant of the city center has a different redstone puzzle concealing the entrance, requiring slightly different strategies to solve.
- The mechanisms are made with redstone dust, redstone torches, redstone repeaters, redstone comparators, redstone lamps, blocks of redstone, sticky pistons, a sculk sensor, a target, and a lectern.
- One variant includes a lever, and another includes a furnace containing 24 deepslate and a wooden shovel.

Deep Dark

New biome at the "deepest depths of the world".
Tends to generate under continental/mountainous areas, exclusively within the deepslate layer between Y=-1 and Y=-64.
- Can extend above the deepslate layer, sometimes up to around Y=33.^[9]
Ancient cities can generate here.
Wardens can spawn here through the activation of sculk shriekers.
The surface contains patches of sculk-related blocks.
Except from monster spawners, no mobs other than wardens can spawn there, similar to mushroom fields.

Status effects

Darkness
- A status effect triggered by the sculk shrieker, causing the player's camera to dim in brightness, thus limiting the vision of players.
- Lowers the gamma down at an equivalent of “Moody” while having this effect.

General[edit | edit source]

Chat

Chat messages between players, as well as chat from the /say, /msg, /teammsg, and /me commands, are now cryptographically signed.
Players are given a Mojang provided key-pair on startup.
Chat styling is now handled via server resource packs with the translation key chat.type.text.
Servers can now define different chat-style formats for clients, which can now be controlled by the server through the chat_type registry (found under the worldgen folder in the vanilla report).
- These are synchronized to clients when they join the server.
- The translation key or translation format can be defined, like chat.type.text or %s says: "%s".
  - Chat can be similarly optionally narrated with a custom translation key or format.
- The entire message can have formatting applied, such as italics or a specific color (but currently not click or hover events).
Servers can now enable chat preview, which displays a server-controlled preview above the chat edit box, showing how the message appears when sent.
- Can be used by servers to preview messages with styling applied, such as emojis or chat coloring.
- Chat preview sends chat messages to the server as they are typed, even before they're sent.
  - The server then sends back the styled preview in real time.
  - This allows servers to apply dynamic message stylings while still allowing chat to be securely signed.
- Chat preview is also shown for chat-related commands, such as /say and /msg.
- A warning toast message is shown on the client when joining a server with chat preview, and it can be globally disabled in chat settings.
- Dynamic chat styling can also be controlled by the server, although this is signed only when chat preview is enabled.
  - Clients can prefer to always show the original, signed message by enabling "Only Show Secure Chat" in chat settings.

Chunk format

Added blending_data.min_section, and blending_data.max_section that determines which sections are used for data for blending.

Data pack and resource pack

Updated resource pack pack_formatto 9 as the following has changed:
- Resource pack can have a filter section in pack.mcmeta now.
  - This section has mandatory field block, which is a list of patterns (regular expressions) for namespaces and paths.
  - If any of files in packs added before one with filter section matches any pattern inside block, it is filtered out (i.e. treated as if not present in the first place).
  - filter section does not apply to a pack containing it, only to packs loaded before it.
  - Both namespace and path can be omitted: if they are, the game works as if they had been specified as a ".*". Missing field matches every value. When they are included, these fields contain a regular expression pattern.
  - For example, adding pack with this section in pack.mcmeta after vanilla pack hides all recipes and advancements defined by vanilla pack:

"filter": {
    "block": [
        {
            "namespace": "minecraft",
            "path": "recipes/.*"
        },
        {
            "namespace": "minecraft",
            "path": "advancements/.*"
        }
    ]
}

World presets/types and superflat world presets in "Create World" screen can now be controlled by datapacks.
- New registry types worldgen/world_preset, and worldgen/flat_level_generator_preset were added to data-driven presets (like "Amplified" or "Single Biome").

Debug screen and profiling

Added estimated GPU utilization percentage to performance profiling metrics and F3 debug screen.
- This is available only for graphics devices that support GPU timer queries.
Added "Blending" row, above the "Noise Router" row.
Added a heap memory allocation metric.

Entity format

Added HasLeftHorn, and HasRightHorn boolean fields to goats' entity format.
- Decides the visibility and dropability of their horns.

Fonts

Added new glyph provider type space, to allow creation of space-like glyphs.
- New provider has single argument called advances which is map of codepoint to glyph advance (width).
- Rendering of space glyph is no longer hardcoded (needs to be declared manually in font).

Item modifier

Added the item function set_instrument, to sets item tags needed for instrument items to a random value selected from a tag, with following parameter:
- options: a tag reference specifying the instrument options to randomly pick from.

Language

Added Malay written in Arabic script (Jawi).^{[note 2]}

Music

Added new music, all by Lena Raine.^{[note 3]}
- "Ancestry" plays only in the deep dark.
- "Aerie", "Firebugs", and "Labyrinthine" plays in the lush caves, all types of swamps, forests, and jungles, as well as the menu screen.

Options

A new accessibility slider has been added in the options menu called “Darkness Pulsing”.
- It controls how dark the Darkness effect gets when a warden or sculk shrieker gives it to the player.
Added "Directional Audio" sound option, for 3D Directional Audio simulation.
- Uses HRTF-based directional audio to improve the simulation of 3D sound, making it easier to distinguish which direction a sound comes from (including if it is above or below the player).
- Requires HRTF compatible audio hardware.
- This option is best experienced with headphones.
- Toggled off by default.
Added "Chat Preview" chat option, for enabling chat preview.
- Toggled on by default.
Added "Only Show Secure Chat" chat option, for clients who prefers to always show the original, signed message.
- Toggled off by default.

options.txt

Added chatPreview, and onlyShowSecureChat.

Particles

Added new particles:
- sculk_soul
  - Emitted by sculk catalysts when activated by sculk sensors.
- shriek
  - Emitted by sculk shriekers when activated by sculk sensors.
- sculk_charge_pops and sculk_charge
- sonic_boom

Player.dat format

Added a new LastDeathLocation field, which contains a dimension string and a list of three integers representing the block position of the player's last death called pos.

Protocol

Servers now also send an additional icon and MOTD packet after a player has connected.
- This allows servers with enable-status=false to set an icon and MOTD for players that successfully connect.

Custom dimensions no longer require a separate seed field, and in fact can no longer have a custom seed - the world seed is now always used for all dimensions.
Dimension types now have two new fields for controlling monster spawns.

Chunk format

Removed blending_data.old_noise, now existence of blending_data in chunk data determines if a chunk is considered old.

Data pack and resource pack

Updated resource pack pack_formatto 9 as the following has changed:
- Resource pack can have a filter section in pack.mcmeta now.
Data pack format is now 10.
The built-in vanilla pack, the report generated by the game, and the vanilla world generation reference pack now store their object keys sorted alphabetically (with the exception of type fields and parent fields, which get listed first).
- This makes diffing the files easier after changes, and avoids false positive changes from fields moving around.

Debug keys

Removed debug hotkey cycling render distance (F3 + F).

Debug screen

The H for "humidity" has been changed for a V for "vegetation".

Entity format

Predicates

Renamed the feature field in location predicates to structure.
player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt, and catType fields have been replaced with type_specific.
type_specific has field type (one of player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt or cat) and same fields as removed fields.
Example:

Before:

 "lightning_bolt": {
   "blocks_set_on_fire": 0
 }

After:

  "type_specific": {
    "type": "lightning",
    "blocks_set_on_fire": 0
  }

catType has been wrapped to match new format and now uses new cat variant names instead of texture names.

Before:

"catType": "minecraft:textures/entity/cat/british_shorthair.png"

After:

 "type_specific": {
    "type": "cat",
    "variant": "minecraft:british_shorthair"
 }

New type_specific options:
- frog has variant field matching frog variant (minecraft:warm, minecraft:temperate or minecraft:cold).
- slime applies for slimes and magma cubes, has size field matching slime size (smallest is 1).

Randomized events predictability

Following randomized events are now more predictable, and no longer have a possibility of extreme behaviors:
