Minecraft Snapshot 25w44a

A Minecraft Java Snapshot

With today's thrilling new Snapshot, we're bringing more mounts – and more mayhem! Meet the camel husk, an undead passive mob that thrives in the desert, and come face to face with its hostile riders! Ridden by a husk, the camel husk also spawns with a second challenger on board: a desert-dwelling skeleton called the parched!

Bundled with these new threats are further changes to the spear's lunge enchantment (it's less hungry now!), and we've given horses, mules, donkeys and camels the gift of being able to float in water while ridden, where before they would sink.

As usual, this release also brings a slew of bug fixes and technical updates, including renaming game rules to make them more descriptive.

Happy mining!

New Features

  • Updated advancements to include the Camel Husk, and the Parched
  • Added a new graphical option "Anisotropic Filtering"

Parched

  • New Skeleton variant
  • Spawns at 0 light level in Deserts replacing some of the regular Skeletons
  • Does not burn in sunlight
  • Shoots Arrows of Weakness
  • Has a slower rate of fire compared to normal Skeletons, similar to Bogged
  • Does not spawn in caves, following the Husk's spawning rules

Camel Husk

  • New undead Camel variant
  • Spawns at 0 light level in Deserts
  • Does not burn in sunlight
  • Spawns with two riders: A Husk wielding a Spear and a Parched
  • Does not spawn in caves, following the Husk's spawning rules
  • Is hostile if the rider is a hostile mob
  • Passive without a rider
  • Despawns like other hostile mobs, but becomes persistent when ridden by a Player
  • Favorite food is Rabbit Foot
  • Cannot be bred
  • As a mount they work similar to normal Camels

Spear Weapon

Lunge Enchantment

  • Reduced the number of hunger points consumed by using Lunge across all Enchantment levels
    • Level 1 Lunge now consumes 1 hunger point, level 2 consumes 2 points, and level 3 consumes 3 points (from 4, 5, and 6)
  • Added a durability cost of 1 for using Lunge across all Enchantment levels

Anisotropic Filtering

  • This new option improves the visual quality of blocks when viewed at a distance or at an angle
  • The default depends on your graphics preset, and the values are "off", "2x", "4x", and "8x"
  • If your hardware does not support it, it will not be used
  • This significantly impacts video memory usage (especially combined with a high mipmap count)

Changes

  • Parrots now can mimic the sounds of Zombie Nautilus, Zombie Horse, Camel Husk and Parched
  • Nautiluses and Zombie Nautiluses can now attack any mob if provoked by that mob, not just players
  • Environmental Fog in the Nether is no longer dependent on the render distance setting, and will consistently be applied from 10 to 96 blocks
  • Horses, Mules, Donkeys, and Camels no longer sink in water while ridden by a player
  • Chunks now fade in instead of appearing out of nowhere, with the fade-in time adjustable through Video Settings
  • Bats no longer spawn more frequently and in higher light levels between October 20 and November 3

UI

  • "Interface" inside the Video Settings screen has been renamed to "Preferences"
  • The Single Biome Customization screen now has a search box
  • The language selection screen now has a search box to filter languages

Technical Changes

  • The Data Pack version is now 92.0
  • The Resource Pack version is now 72.0
  • The Minecraft Server Management Protocol version is now 2.0.0
  • Added support for KQueue on OSX to improve network connection performance

Minecraft Server Management Protocol Version 2.0.0

  • In the typed_game_rule and untyped_game_rule schemas, the type of the value field has been changed from string to take either a boolean or an integer
    • Also, it now uses the game rule resource location as the key

Commands

Changed worldborder

  • The time argument for setting the size can now also specify seconds or in-game days using an s or d suffix
  • The time argument for setting the warning distance now specifies ticks by default but can also specify seconds or in-game days using an s or d suffix
