Minecraft 26.1 Snapshot 1

A Minecraft Java Snapshot

 

As the year draws to a close, we gather in the shipping room one more time to press the buttons that make snapshots happen! In this final release of 2025 we're (among other things) upgrading our runtime version of Java, giving villager trades the data-driven treatment, and adding a new swing command that swings the arms of entities. Finally, all our builds will now be unobfuscated moving forward.

Did we miss something? Oh, yeah! This snapshot marks the beginning of our new version numbering system for Minecraft on Java Edition. We'll see you next year for more snapshots and the eventual release of what will be Java Edition 26.1!

Happy mining!

Changes

  • What trades are unlocked by villager professions are now determined using deterministic random sequences, like loot drops and barter loot
  • The algorithm that maps block and sky light levels to how bright things appear on screen has been fully rewritten
  • A new lightmap debug renderer was introduced, which can be enabled using the F3 + 4 keybind

Lightmap Algorithm Changes

  • The new algorithm is supposed to mostly provide the same overall results as before, but:
    • It is simpler and more straightforward, and fixes multiple issues of the previous one, as listed in the Fixed Bugs section below
    • The Darkness effect and world darkening effect of the Wither fight now works the same way in all dimensions
    • The Night Vision effect now simply adds ambient light instead of scaling the resulting colors
      • It means that fully dark areas no longer look brighter than areas lit by block or sky light
    • More aspects of the algorithm such as block light tint, ambient light color and night vision color are now data-driven through environment attributes, as described in the Data Pack section below

Lightmap Debug Renderer

  • A new debug renderer for the lightmap was added, which can be enabled using the F3 + 4 keybind
  • It is mutually exclusive with FPS/TPS and networking charts
  • It shows the lightmap texture in real-time in the bottom right corner of the screen
  • The vertical axis of the texture represent sky light levels (0-15 from bottom to top)
  • The horizontal axis of the texture represent block light levels (0-15 from left to right)
  • The color of each pixel represents the resulting color that will be applied to blocks and entities lit with the corresponding block and sky light levels

UI

Debug Screen

  • The looking_at_block and looking_at_fluid debug entries no longer show tags
  • New debug entries have been added:
    • looking_at_block_tags
    • looking_at_fluid_tags
    • looking_at_entity_tags
  • Renamed debug entries:
    • looking_at_block -> looking_at_block_state
    • looking_at_fluid -> looking_at_fluid_state

Technical Changes

  • The Data Pack version is now 95
  • If a server's disk space is low, a toast will now be shown to server operators
  • The game now requires Java 25
  • The included Java distribution is now the Microsoft build of OpenJDK 25

Data Pack Version 95

  • Added data-driven registry for villager trades
  • Piglin inventory slots can now be accessed using piglin.* similar to how Villager inventories can be accessed using villager.*

Data-driven Villager Trades

Trades offered by Villagers and Wandering Traders are now data-driven and can be customized by datapack developers

Villager Trades

  • Present in the villager_trade folder, represents a blueprint for trades which is used by Villagers and Wandering Traders to generate actual trades
  • Entry Format:
    • wants, an object representing an item type and number of them needed to trade
      • id, the id of the item
      • count, an optional number provider representing how many of the item is needed for the trade
        • Defaults to a constant 1
      • components, an optional component map representing the expected data components on the item
        • Defaults to an empty map
    • additional_wants, an optional object representing an additional item required by the merchant, has the same format as wants
    • gives, an Item Stack representing the resulting item given by the merchant when trading
      • Uses the existing format for Item Stacks
    • given_item_modifiers, a optional list of Item Modifiers representing modifiers to apply to the item in gives such as enchantments or potions, used to add dynamism to the trade rather than hardcoding certain values
      • Uses the existing format for Item Modifiers (also known as loot modifiers, item functions, loot functions...)
      • If any of these returns an empty item the entire trade will be discarded
      • Item Modifier references are not yet supported
      • If the final item has a stored_enchantment component containing an enchantment in the #double_trade_price tag, then the count of wants is doubled
    • max_uses, an optional number provider representing the maximum number of times a trade may be used
      • Is set to 1 if the number provider returns a lower value
      • Defaults to 4
    • reputation_discount, an number provider representing how much factors such as demand, discounts or penalties affects the cost represented by wants
      • Is set to 0.0 if the number provider returns a lower value
      • Defaults to 0.0
    • xp, an optional number provider representing the amount of xp a merchant gets when the trade is done
      • Is set to 0 if the number provider returns a lower value
      • Defaults to 1
    • merchant_predicate, a Predicate representing conditions on the merchant that need to be met for the trade to be offered
      • Uses the existing format for Predicates (also known as loot conditions)
      • Predicate references are not yet supported
    • double_trade_price_enchantments, an optional enchantment id, list of namespaced enchantment IDs, or hash-prefixed enchantment tag representing enchantments that will double the additional cost from minecraft:enchant_randomly and minecraft:enchant_with_levels if they have include_additional_cost_component set to true and if the item has one of the provided values in its minecraft:stored_enchantments component

An example trade of an emerald and a book for an enchanted book offered only by Desert Villagers

{
  "additional_wants": {
    "id": "minecraft:book"
  },
  "double_trade_price_enchantments": "#minecraft:double_trade_price",

      }
    }
  },
  "reputation_discount": 0.2,
  "wants": {
    "id": "minecraft:emerald"
  }
}

Trade Sets

  • Present in the trade_set folder, they're groupings of trades offered by Villagers and Wandering Traders
  • We currently only have hardcoded ones available in <profession>/level_<level> for Villagers, as well as wandering_trader/buying, wandering_trader/special, wandering_trader/common for Wandering Traders
  • Entry Format:
    • trades, a villager trade id, list of namespaced villager trade IDs, or hash-prefixed villager trade tag representing the trades that are part of this trade set
    • amount, a number provider representing the amount of trades to be generated from this set when used
      • If the generated number is greater than the number of available trades then it will only generate until all trades have been used once, unless allow_duplicates is set to true
    • allow_duplicates, a boolean representing if the trade set can use the same Villager Trade multiple times to generate trades
      • Defaults to false
    • random_sequence, an optional named random sequence that determines which trades are generated
      • Defaults to a non-deterministic random sequence

An example trade set offering 2 trades from the #minecraft:armorer/level_1 tag, allowing duplicates

{
  "amount": 2.0,
  "trades": "#minecraft:armorer/level_1",
  "random_sequence": "minecraft:trade_set/armorer/level_1",
  "allow_duplicates": true
}
