In today's snapshot, we're adding a few new blocks that you, later on, will see in the lush caves! They're perhaps not as lush as Jens' hair, but close enough.
Update: We've now released 21w05b to fix a couple of bugs.
Fixed bugs in 21w05b
- MC-203813 - Copper blocks are named inconsistently
- MC-213788 - The game can randomly freeze
- MC-213802 - Copper is not upgraded correctly from pre-21w05a worlds
New Features in 21w05a
- Azalea bushes as well as flowering azaela bushes!
- Added cave vines and glow berries!
- Added drip leaves!
- Added decorative blocks for the upcoming lush caves: hanging roots and rooted dirt!
- Added moss!
- Added spore blossom!
Cave vines and glow berries
- Cave vines grow down from the ceiling, like weeping vines
- When they grow they have a chance of producing glow berries
- Glow berries are a natural light source as well as a food source
- Foxes eat glow berries
- Use glow berries to plant new cave vines
- Bonemealing a cave vine will create glow berries
Dripleaf
- Small dripleaf needs moisture, so it grows on clay or underwater
- Small dripleaf grow into big dripleaf when bonemealed
- Big dripleaf grows taller when bonemealed
- If you stand on a big dripleaf, it will tilt after a while and you will fall off
- You can crouch or jump to prevent a big dripleaf from tilting
- A tilted big drip leaf will tilt up again after a while
- The big dripleaf will break when hit by a projectile
- The wandering trader will sometimes sell small dripleaf plants
Moss
- Two new decorative blocks: moss block and moss carpet
- Moss carpet can be crafted from moss blocks
Spore blossom
- A beautiful large flower placed on ceilings
- Particles drip from it
Changes in 21w05a
- The stonecutter can be used to craft the different copper block variants
- The stages of copper oxidization are now called “Copper Block”, “Exposed Copper Block”, “Weathered Copper Block” and “Oxidized Copper Block” in sequence of least to most oxidized
- Drowned now have a chance of dropping a copper ingot, they no longer drop gold ingots
- Added new sculk sensor events
- Changes to powder snow
Sculk Sensor Changes
Added the following game events that the Sculk Sensor reacts to, along with corresponding frequency value:
| Vibration Types | Frequency Value |
|---|---|
| Minecart Moving, Ring Bell, Block Change | 6 |
| Drinking Finish, Prime Fuse | 7 |
| Mob Interact | 8 |
| Equip, Shear, Ravager Roar | 9 |
| Entity Place | 12 |
| Entity Killed | 13 |
| Shulker Close | 14 |
| Shulker Open | 15 |
- Block Change is for when player or dispenser action has changed a block. Example: cake slice being eaten
- Mob Interact is for specific mob interaction events that cause vibrations
- Prime Fuse is for both TNT and Creepers
Powder Snow changes
- Flaming arrows now get extinguished when they collide with powder snow
- Skeletons now convert to strays when frozen
- Powder snow is now pushable by pistons and sticky pistons
- Foxes can now walk on top of powder snow without falling in
Technical Changes in 21w05a
- Improved performance when using many overrides on an item model
- Copper oxidization is now a random tick effect and thus affected by the randomTickSpeed game rule
