Modifiers
As described in the above example, an Environment Attribute source may simply override the value of a particular attribute. However, it is sometimes also desirable to rather apply a modifier to a value provided by a source with lower priority.
For example, in the following scenario:
- The overworld dimension provides water_fog_end_distance = 96.0
- The plains biome modifies water_fog_end_distance with a multiply modifier of 0.85
When in the plains biome, the water_fog_end_distance will be resolved to 96.0*0.85 = 81.6, while in any other Overworld biome, it will resolve to 96.0.
The kinds of modifiers available depends on the type of Environment Attribute. The most basic modifier, supported by every Environment Attribute, is the override modifier. This behaves purely as an override of the preceding value. If not specified by an Environment Attribute source, the modifier will always be assumed to be override.
Full descriptions of the available modifiers and their behaviors can be found in the Common Modifiers section below.
Interpolation
While modifiers describe how a value provided by one source is applied on the value from a preceding source, interpolation describes the combination of values within a source. Only some Environment Attributes support interpolation. This allows for the smooth transition between two or more values, such as when moving between two biomes.
Between multiple Biomes, interpolation is performed on values from a source after modifiers have been applied. Within a Timeline, interpolation is performed on the modifier arguments before they get applied.
Biomes
For example, in the following scenario:
- The plains biome provides sky_color = #ff0000 (red)
- The desert biome provides sky_color = #ffff00 (yellow)
sky_color is one such attribute that will transition smoothly based on position: for example, in the above scenario, as a player moves from a plains to a desert biome, the sky color will gradually shift from red to yellow. Other attributes, such as water_evaporates, represent discrete values and will not be smoothly transitioned - only the biome exactly at a subject position will be considered.
Smooth transitions between biomes are based on the biomes within an 8 block radius of the camera. Biomes that occupy a larger portion of that radius and are closer to the camera will have a stronger influence on the final interpolated value.
Timelines
Timelines can define Attribute Tracks - these specify how a modifier for a particular Environment Attribute changes over time by defining keyframes. Depending on the attribute, interpolation may be used between each keyframe. If interpolation is not used, the previous keyframe value will always be selected.
For example, a Timeline with a period of 24000 might be set up as following:
- At time = 0, the timeline provides sky_color = #ff0000 (red)
- At time = 1000, the timeline provides sky_color = #ff0000 (red)
- At time = 6000, the timeline provides sky_color = #ff00ff (magenta)
Between time = 0 and time = 1000, the sky color will be red. Between 1000 and 6000, it will shift from red to magenta. Then, from 6000 all the way until the timeline repeats and reaches time = 0 again, the color will slowly shift back to red.
Note: unlike biomes, if a Timeline uses a modifier instead of an override, interpolation is applied to the modifier arguments rather than the final modified values.
Environment Attribute Map
Dimension Type and Biome definitions contain a new attributes field, enabling them to define Environment Attributes.
This map generally takes the form of an object mapping between Environment Attribute IDs and their corresponding values, for example:
"attributes": {
"minecraft:visual/fog_color": "#ffaa00",
"minecraft:gameplay/water_evaporates": true
}
Values defined as above will always be assumed to use the override modifier.
The value object can however be expanded in order to express different modifiers, in the format of an object with the following fields:
- modifier: optional string modifier ID, dependent on the Attribute Type (see the Common Modifiers section below)
- argument: the modifier argument (format dependent on the chosen modifier)
- How the argument is used also depends on the type of modifier
For example, the following definition describes multiplying water_fog_end_distance by 85%:
"attributes": {
"minecraft:visual/water_fog_end_distance": {
"modifier": "multiply",
"argument": 0.85
}
}
Attribute Track
An Attribute Track specified within a Timeline takes the format of an object with the following fields:
- ease - optional Easing Type (see below), used to ease the interpolaton of the value between keyframes
- Default: linear
- If the target attribute does not support interpolation, the easing mode will have no effect
- keyframes - list of keyframe objects, must be ordered by the ticks field:
- ticks - integer between 0 and period_ticks (if specified), defines the tick (within the period) at which this keyframe's value will be active
- value - the modifier argument (format dependent on the chosen modifier)
- If no modifier is specified (or override is used), the type of this field is the same as the Environment Attribute itself
- How this value is used depends on the type of modifier
- Note: at most two keyframes can be placed on the same tick, creating an immediate transition
- modifier - optional string modifier ID, dependent on the Attribute Type (see the Common Modifiers section below)
For example, the following Timeline has a period of 24000, and has an attribute track that modifies only minecraft:gameplay/cat_waking_up_gift_chance. Because the easing is constant, between tick 362 and 23667 the value is 0.0, while between tick 23667 and 362 it is 0.7.
Like other Environment Attribute sources, the specified value is used as the argument to the specified modifier. This is then applied on top of sources with a lower priority. In this case the modifier is maximum, so this timeline will only ever increase the value of cat_waking_up_gift_chance to the value specified in the track.
{
"period_ticks": 24000,
"tracks": {
"minecraft:gameplay/cat_waking_up_gift_chance": {
"ease": "constant",
"modifier": "maximum",
"keyframes": [
{ "ticks": 362, "value": 0.0 },
{ "ticks": 23667, "value": 0.7 }
]
}
}
}

Predicates
Component Predicates
- Component predicates (predicates field in block, item and entity predicates) now include predicates for checking existence of every component type
- Those predicates are written as {<component_type>: {}}
- Such predicate check passes as long as component is present, no matter the actual value
- Existing predicates for specific components remain unchanged
- Example:
- {predicates:{written_book_content:{author:"foo"}} - existing format for matching books
- {predicates:{written_book_content:{}} - special case of above that accepted any value, as long as component existed
- {predicates:{instrument:{}} - checks if component minecraft:instrument exists (was not allowed before)
Entity Predicates
The flags predicate now supports new values:
- is_in_water: when an entity is touching water or a bubble column
- is_fall_flying: when an entity is gliding with an elytra
Block Predicates
Item Predicates
- Item predicate in command form (<item>[predicate~{...},component={...}]) has been extended to accept empty predicates for any component type
- Similarily to component predicates in data, those empty entries only check for component existence
- Existing shorter syntax for checking component existence remains unchanged
- That means *[instrument] and *[instrument~{}] are equivalent

Particles
Resource Pack Versions 70.0 through 75.0
- Unifont has been updated to 17.0.01
- block.vsh/fsh copies terrain.vsh/fsh and handles ad-hoc blocks (e.g. held by entities)
- Added ChunkSection uniform, used by terrain.vsh (which replaces DynamicTransforms)
- New shaders have been introduced to perform GPU based sprite animations
- Globals uniform now has camera coordinates
- Item textures were split out of the blocks atlas into a separate new items atlas that does not have mipmaps
- All textures used in an item model have to come from the same (items or blocks) atlas
- All textures used in a block model have to come from the blocks atlas
- Textures used for still water and lava are now hardcoded to minecraft:block/water_still and minecraft:block/lava_still
- To prepare for future work, the game will now print a warning if any defined sprites in any atlases share a name
- Block model and state format has been expanded to allow more rotations
- Textures for the Leather Horse Armor item and equipment asset have been split into a tinted base layer and an overlay layer
Textures
- texture section of *.mcmeta files has two new fields: mipmap_strategy and alpha_cutoff_bias
- mipmap_strategy has the following supported values:
- mean averages both color and alpha between groups of four pixels for the current mipmap level to generate the next mipmap level pixel. This was and stays the default strategy for most solid or translucent full block textures
- dark_cutout is similar to mean, but blends colors in a way that makes the pixels bordering cutout pixels darker. This was and stays the strategy for leaves and Mangrove Roots. It simulates dark interior of the blocks
- cutout is a new strategy that always generates a mipmap based on the original texture instead of the previous mipmap. Used for most cutout blocks that became mipmapped in this version.
- strict_cutout is a modification of cutout that uses stricter alpha cutoff value leading to the textures using this value disappearing at higher mipmap levels. Is used for flowers and similar blocks to avoid artifacts.
- auto is the default value and will make the game to pick mean for textures that do not contain fully transparent pixels and cutout for those that do
- alpha_cutoff_bias is a float field for controling the alpha bias for cutout textures
- Technically there is no limit for this value, it can be negative as well, but it does not make sense to set this higher than 1.0 or lower than -1.0 since the texture will become either fully opaque or fully transparent
- Default value for this field is 0.0, and it can be increased for textures that can become too transparent/thin at distance, or decreased if it's too "opaque"
- It's recommended to increment or decrease this value in fine granuality for finding the sweet spot. As an example, 0.1 is used for kelp textures in order to prevent them being fully trasparent at distance
- Only used for lower mips of cutout textures, does not change the alpha of first mip level, and has no effect on other textures
- Glass, Glass Pane and Redstone dust now support translucent textures
- Added gui/container/nautilus used for the Nautilus inventory UI
