Well, it seems like our Ender Dragon has forgotten a thing or two about flying! In 26.4 Snapshot 8, we've fixed several issues with the dragon's flight behavior to help get it back on track. We've also added language support for two new languages, alongside a handful of smaller tweaks.
Happy Dragon Fighting!
New Features
- Added Javanese and Chavacano, Zamboanga language support to the game
Changes
- Fixed some issues with the Ender Dragon battle that caused the dragon to not move properly
Minor Tweaks to Blocks, Items and Entities
- Added Snow Layers and Snow Blocks next to the Snow Brick Set in the Creative Inventory
- All undead mobs will now be immune to the Freezing effect
- The damage dealt by the Ice Ball has been reduced
- The Cold Sulfur Cube archetype will no longer float to match the behavior of other archetypes of similar properties
Technical Changes
- The Data Pack version is now 127.0
- The Resource Pack version is now 103.0
- Terrain vertex data in terrain.vsh is now fetched from a texel buffer instead of traditional vertex buffers
- The packing of vertex data for terrain chunk section mesh data has been changed
Network Protocol
- The entity position synchronization packet now includes full-precision head rotation
Data Pack Versions 127.0
Validation
- Most validation issues in following registries no longer prevent elements from being loaded:
- minecraft:loot_table
- minecraft:predicate
- minecraft:item_modifier
- minecraft:slot_source
- minecraft:context_float_provider
- minecraft:context_int_provider
- minecraft:villager_trade
- trigger fields in minecraft:advancement
- requirements fields on minecraft:enchantment_effect_component_type instances
- The following issues are now considered errors that can prevent pack loading or cause command compilation failure:
- The validated element makes recursive calls to itself, either through tags or namespaced IDs
- Any context values required by the validated element are missing from the context provided during execution
- For example, the modifier type minecraft:apply_bonus (which uses the tool context value) cannot be used in an item ... modify command which provides the minecraft:command_modifier context (which lacks the tool context value)
- Elements will only be validated if they don't have conditions or condition has all required context values
- That means conditional elements can be used to avoid validation errors in loot elements used in multiple context
- Conditional elements:
- condition field for cases in minecraft:number_dispatcher (both minecraft:context_float_provider and minecraft:context_int_provider kinds)
- merchant_predicate condition field in minecraft:villager_trade
- condition field in loot pools, loot pool entries and loot functions
- Validation errors will now prevent command compilation, both in functions and from the console
- For example, compute entity @s float {type: "minecraft:enchantment_level",amount:{type:"minecraft:linear",base:0.15,per_level_above_first:0.15}} will now fail to compile due to use of minecraft:enchantment_level in a minecraft:command_compute_entity context that does not provide required information (minecraft:enchantment_level)
- The minecraft:command context has been split into minecraft:command_predicate (used for predicates in commands, like /execute if predicate) and minecraft:command_modifier (used for item modifiers, for example in /item ... modify functions)
- To simplify the discovery of validation rules, a new report has been added: loot_context_requirements.json
- Values given as allowed for some context can be used by validated elements when run in this context
- The context used by command arguments can be found in the commands.json report in the context field of the following argument types:
- minecraft:context_float_provider
- minecraft:context_int_provider
- minecraft:loot_modifier
- minecraft:loot_predicate
- minecraft:loot_table
- minecraft:slot_source
Commands
- The command report format has been changed:
- Argument information is now under the field argument instead of being merged into the parent node
- Information about suggestions is now available
Added pattern argument
- Added command argument type for matching regular expression patterns
- This argument was added to improve support for commands added by server-side mods and plugins
Tags
Block Tags
- Added #triggers_ambient_ice_block_sounds - all blocks that trigger Ice to play its ambient sound
- Added #triggers_ambient_ice_crystal_sounds - all blocks that trigger Ice Crystals to play their ambient sound
Resource Pack Versions 103.0
UI Sprites
- Added a new UI texture:
- friends/tab_focused.png
Sounds
- Added new sound events:
- entity.frostbite.throw
Shaders & Post-process Effects
- terrain.vsh is refactored to decode new vertex data packing
Order-Independent Transparency shaders
- OIT shaders were converted to rely on subpasses
- Changed core/oit_composite.fsh, core/oit_depth_bounds_cull.fsh, include/oit_depth_sample.glsl, include/oit_sample.glsl
- Added core/blit_depth_bounds.fsh shader to blit depth bounds in a subpass context
Boat Water Mask Shaders
- The way water mask is handled was changed to support subpasses in OIT
- It is now rendered to a separate target that is sampled during terrain rendering instead of being rendered to the terrain depth buffer
- Changed core/rendertype_water_mask.fsh and core/terrain.fsh
- Removed core/blit_depth.fsh
- This approach is used both when OIT is on and off
