Minecraft Snapshot 21w08b

A Minecraft Java Snapshot

In this snapshot, our new beloved stone type has suffered a grim fate and has been renamed "Deepslate". How mysterious!

Update: We've now released 21w08b to fix two issues with ore distribution.

Fixed bugs in 21w08b

  • MC-216744 - Iron ore doesn’t generate (only iron ore in deepslate is generated)
  • MC-216101 - Redstone ore generates with a flat distribution below y=12

Changes in 21w08a

  • Tweaked cave sizes further
  • Canyon and cave carvers now apply below y=0
  • Cracks can now be found carved into the ground
  • Grimstone has been changed into Deepslate
  • Added Deepslate ores
  • The distribution of ores has been further tweaked
  • Andesite no longer generates under y=0
  • Tuff now sometimes generates under y=0
  • The Tuff layer of amethyst geodes has been replaced with now a new type of stone called Smooth Basalt
  • Smooth Basalt is now obtained from smelting Basalt
  • Another round of tweaking has been done to the new textures of ores and Blackstone
  • Emerald and Lapis Lazuli ore textures have had some touch-ups
  • Mineshafts now once again generate in the open air in caves
  • Particles now appear in the air around spore blossoms
  • Slime Blocks and Honey Blocks have been moved to the Redstone tab of the creative inventory

Deepslate

  • Grimstone is now called Deepslate
  • Deepslate now has a top texture, and a new block called Cobbled Deepslate drops from Deepslate
  • The cobbled variant is the same but without the top texture, and is used to craft all Deepslate variants instead
  • Deepslate now has a unique set of sounds! Very crunchy indeed

Deepslate ores

  • Added Deepslate versions of Iron, Gold, Lapis, Redstone, and Diamond ores that generate wherever those ores replace Deepslate
  • Twice as tough to mine as normal ores

  • MC-214782 - Geodes can generate floating in caves
  • MC-214843 - Old style caves don’t generate past Y=0
