Blocks

[edit | edit source]

Cinnabar

Sulfur

Potent sulfur

  • A variant of sulfur that emits bubbles when placed underwater. It also produces a cluster of noxious gas particles in the water's surface.
  • Players and mobs get Nausea when they enter water that is near and directly or indirectly connected to the block.

Sulfur spike

  • Generates naturally on sulfur blocks inside the sulfur caves biome.
  • Forms a stalactite if placed on the ceiling or a stalagmite if placed on the floor.
  • Can be combined to form longer stalactites and stalagmites.
  • Stalactites and stalagmites merge if the tips are next to each other, unless placed while crouching.
  • Stalagmites will break if not attached to something below.
  • Stalactites fall down if not attached to something above.
  • Being hit by a falling stalactite or falling on a stalagmite deals damage.
  • Thrown tridents break sulfur spikes.
  • 4 sulfur spikes can be crafted into a sulfur block.

Items

[edit | edit source]

Sulfur cube spawn egg

  • Used to spawn a sulfur cube.

Bucket of sulfur cube

Mobs

[edit | edit source]

Sulfur cube

  • A passive slime-like mob that spawns in sulfur caves.
  • Immune to fall damage.
  • When killed, it will split into 2 small cubes, like other slime-like mobs.
    • Unlike the slime and magma cube, the small versions can grow up into the large version, like how a baby mob works.
  • It is attracted to the dropped item form of full blocks. The cube can pick up a block, or a player can use a full block on the cube, causing the cube to absorb it into its body.
    • In this state, they become immobile and cannot be damaged by most entities. Instead it will be knocked back when attacked.
      • The knockback also depends on the damage that would have been dealt, with stronger attacks sending the cube further.
    • Shearing it removes and drops the block, reverting back to normal.
    • Depending on the full block, they will behave differently when punched while in its immobile state, examples are:
      • Blocks of iron make it heavy, i.e. it will have higher gravity.
      • Wool makes it floaty, i.e. it will have lower gravity.
      • Wooden logs and stems make it bouncy.
      • Ice reduces its friction, making it slide more.
  • Can be caught in buckets to move it.

Technical

[edit | edit source]

Items

  • Added tags for sulfur cubes to make use of for physics determination and absorbing:
    • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_bouncy
    • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_regular
    • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_slow_flat
    • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_fast_flat
    • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_light
    • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_fast_sliding
    • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_slow_sliding
    • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_sticky
    • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_high_resistance

World generation

[edit | edit source]

Sulfur caves

Sulfur pool

  • Greenish pools that generate in sulfur caves.
  • Consists of a body of water surrounded by sulfur blocks and cinnabar with potent sulfur generating at the bottom, which inflicts Nausea to mobs in the pool.

Sulfur spike

  • Clusters of sulfur spikes on sulfur that generate in sulfur caves.

Sulfur spring

  • A pile of sulfur with a small sulfur pool on the surface.
  • Generates on the surface indicating the presence of sulfur caves below.

Changes

[edit | edit source]

Mobs

[edit | edit source]

Bogged, parched, skeleton, and stray

  • These mobs now shoot arrows at the same rate as Java Edition, with difficulty-based attack intervals instead of distance-scaled intervals.

  • JSON schema outputs now include beta format versions.

Entity Components

  • Added the presets field to the minecraft:pushable_by_entity component, allowing customization of push behavior per entity type.
    • These changes are in beta format version.
    • Each preset entry supports the following fields:
      • filter, conditions that must be met for the preset to be applied.
      • push_mode, the type of push calculation: default, legacy_boat, or legacy_minecart.

Entity Filters

  • Added the redstone_strength_at_position entity filter that tests the redstone signal strength at the subject entity's position.

Game rule

  • Removed the locatorbar boolean gamerule.
    • Worlds that previously had locatorbar set to true will automatically migrate to the new playerWaypoints Game Rule with a value of everyone, and false will migrate to off.

      • When set to if_first, minecraft:use_modifiers will only attempt to start using the item if no other component has already attempted to.

Molang

  • Added the query.fuse_time query that returns the remaining fuse time of an entity, or -1 if the entity doesn't have a minecraft:explode component.

Surface Builders

  • The NoiseDescriptor schema definition has been added. The purpose of this schema is to be used as part of a surface or subsurface-builder's schema. It has the following fields:
    • name: The string used to initialize the noise. Has no impact on the qualitative aspects of the generated values (required).
    • first_octave: Governs the general frequency characteristics of the generated noise. Lower value results in noise with lower frequency content (required).
    • amplitudes: Governs the attenuation of the first n octaves in the generated noise (required).
  • The NoiseBlockSpecifier schema definition has been added. The purpose of this schema is to be used as part of a surface or subsurface-builder's schema. It has the following fields:
    • noise: The noise identifier associated with a particular NoiseBlockSpecifier (non-required).
    • threshold: The minimum sampled noise value associated with the provided block (non-required).
    • range: The range of sampled noise value associated with the provided block (non-required).
    • block: The block to place if the noise sample satisfies either the threshold or range condition (required).
  • The minecraft:noise_gradient surface and subsurface builder has an updated API consisting of the following:
    • noise: a NoiseDescriptor (required).
    • non_replaceable_blocks: A list of blocks that the surface builder is not allowed to replace. Leaving this list empty or unspecified will allow the replacement of any (non-air) block type (non-required).
    • noise_block_specifiers: An array of NoiseBlockSpecifiers defining which sample ranges of noise are associated with which blocks. The ranges provided are valid on the interval [0, 1], and may overlap at their endpoints (required).
