Hello! Here is a new snapshot with tweaks to the new features, new advancements, new music and some long-awaited technical changes. For some time we've been working on a new faster light engine, and we are finally ready to share the result. Special thank you to the community for not only pointing out the issues with the game's light engine, but also to community members that have developed mods and plugins which have highlighted these performance challenges and served as an inspiration for our new implementation.
Please break it in all possible ways and report bugs!

New music disc
- Added a new music disc which can be found by brushing suspicious blocks in Trail Ruins

Changes
- Both types of Sculk Sensors now stay in their Cooldown phase for 10 ticks, with other phase timings being adjusted to compensate
- Crafted Decorated Pots with at least one pattern now have a hover tooltip displaying the Sherd & Brick ingredients
- Updated the credits
- Added the ability to scroll upwards by pressing the up arrow key
Sculk Sensor Phases
- Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors have three phases: Inactive, Active and Cooldown
- The default phase is Inactive
- This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration
- During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled
- When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase
- This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
- During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils and emits a redstone signal and light
- After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase
- This phase lasts for 10 game ticks
- During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a redstone signal nor light
- Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase
- Previously, some of these phases had different timing values:
- Active: 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
- Cooldown: 1 game tick for both types of Sculk Sensors
- These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them
Technical Changes
- The resource pack version is now 15, accounting for the font and credits update
- legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed
- Bitmaps used by uniform font have been removed
- uniform font has been updated to use Unifont 15.0.01
- That changes shape of multiple characters, while also adding support for new ones
- Combining characters no longer include circle overlayed over them (so M◌̆ now renders as M ̆)
- Added second level of organization of entries in credits.json on top of titles, called disciplines
- Font textures are included in debug texture dump (F3 + S)
- Added new font glyph providers: unihex and reference, removed legacy_unicode
- Improved performance of the light engine
Fonts
New unihex glyph provider
- New glyph provider for reading Unifont HEX files
- HEX format describes bitmap font glyphs
- height of every glyph is 16 pixels
- width of glyph can be 8, 16, 24 or 32 pixels
- every line is made of two hexadecimal numbers separated by :
- first value describes codepoint - it must have 4, 5 or 6 hex digits
- second value describes glyph as a stream of bits, line by line
- HEX format describes bitmap font glyphs
- When rendering, empty columns on left and right side of glyph are removed
- Custom glyph widths can be set with size_overrides
- Provider requires two fields:
- hex_file - path to ZIP archive containing one or more *.hex files (files in archive with different extensions are ignored)
- size_overrides - list of codepoint ranges that should have width different that auto-detected (based on empty space in glyph). Fields:
- from, to - start and end of codepoint range (inclusive)
- left, right - integers describing position of left-most and right-most columns of glyph in range
- any bits in columns outside this range will be discarded
New reference glyph provider
- New glyph provider can be used to include providers from other fonts
- Providers are guaranteed to be loaded only once, no matter how many times they are included
- Provider has one field id, that describes other font to be included in currently loaded one
- Inclusion is performed after all fonts are loaded, so it will include all providers for a given font defined in all datapacks
Removed legacy_unicode glyph provider
- legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed
- This functionality has been replaced by unihex provider
