Minecraft Snapshot 24w21b

This week we're bringing a Snapshot you can vibe out to! This time around we're bringing data-driven jukeboxes, a new gamerule, and a bunch of fixes.

Happy vibing!

Update: We are now releasing snapshot 24w21b to fix a frequent crash which happened when Zombies spawned in areas of high local difficulty.

Fixed bugs in 24w21b

• MC-272321 - Crash after upgrading snapshot world to 24w21a

Changes

• It seems we cooked a bit too hard with the new Piston sounds last week, which is why we're reverting back to the old sounds again

  • panic_environmental_causes: Used by Wolves, Polar Bears (adults) and Pandas
  • panic_causes: Used by all other animals and baby Polar Bears

Server links

• Servers can now provide a list of links to clients
• If client has received any links, a new button called "Server Links..." will show up in pause game screen
  • To make space for that button, "Report Bugs" and "Give Feedback" buttons might be moved into a sub-screen if necessary

Disconnection screen improvements

• In some cases client will now store detailed information about disconnection (similar to crash reports)
• When that happens, new "Open Disconnection Report Directory" button will be added to the disconnection screen

Server links

• New clientbound packet server_links is available in configuration and game protocols
• On receival, client will make links available from pause menu
• Link labels can be built-in or custom (i.e. any text)

  • report_bug:
    • link will be displayed on disconnection screen, if disconnection was caused by packet handling error
    • link will be included as a comment in disconnection report
• Added bug-report-link to server.properties to allow vanilla server to configure report_bug links
  • If this field is non-empty, server will send that link to clients
  • This field should contain well-formed URL

Custom server crash report details

Attributes

• Attribute modifiers no longer have a UUID and name combination
