Minecraft Snapshot 25w43a | Minecraft

In today’s snapshot, we’ve made some changes to the spear and its unique Lunge enchantment! Spears will now deal more damage with the charged attack, and using the charged attack provides visual feedback, so you’ll know when you’ve hit your target! The Lunge enchantment is also undergoing some changes: instead of consuming weapon durability, the Lunge enchantment will consume hunger points depending on the level of the enchantment. So pack those potatoes before you jump into the fray!

Happy mining!

New features

Spear weapon

  • Spears now deal more damage thanks to charged attacks inflicted by players, but also by monsters.
  • The Spear model is now slightly larger
  • Spears provide visual feedback when they hit a target during the charge attack.

Slot Enchantment

  • Using Lunge no longer causes durability damage to the spear.
  • Using Lunge now consumes hunger points when exhausting the player, similar to sprinting or jumping.
    • Level 1 Lunge consumes 3 hunger points, level 2 consumes 4 hunger points, and level 3 consumes 5 hunger points.
    • The slot can only be used if the player has at least 6 hunger points in their hunger bar.

Changes

  • Nautilus and Zombie Nautilus can no longer be placed in boats

Technical changes

  • Data Pack version is now 91.0
  • Resource Pack version is now 71.0

Data Pack Version 91.0

  • World boundary interpolation now depends on in-game ticks rather than real time.
    • This means that the world border will no longer move when the game is paused.
    • It will also respect any modification made by the /tick order
  • Changed loot function filtered to allow modifications to be performed when the predicate fails
  • Added throw loot feature

Orders

Changes to world border

  • THE time argument is now given in ticks instead of seconds

Loot Features

minecraft: filtered

  • Field modifier has been replaced by two fields:
    • on_pass – function or a list of functions to execute when item_filter predicate passes
    • on_fail – function or a list of functions to execute when item_filter the predicate fails

Minecraft: reject

  • Replaces any item pile with an empty pile
  • No field

Enchantments

Enchantment Entity Effects

  • minecraft: apply_exhaustion: applies exhaustion to the targeted entity
    • Rising – Level-based value indicating the degree of exhaustion to apply
    • effective only on players

Resource pack version 71.0

Textures

  • darkened_cutout_mipmap field of texture section of *.mcmeta files have been replaced by a new field mipmap_strategy with the following supported values:
    • mean averages the color and alpha between groups of four pixels for the current mipmap level to generate the pixel for the next mipmap level. This was and remains the default strategy for most solid or translucent full block textures.
    • dark_cutout is similar to meanbut mixes the colors so as to darken the pixels bordering the clipped pixels. This was and remains the strategy for mangrove leaves and roots. It simulates the dark interior of the blocks
    • cut out is a new strategy that always generates a mipmap based on the original texture instead of the previous mipmap. Used for most cut blocks that were mipmapped in this release
    • strict_cutout is a modification of cut out which uses a stricter alpha cutoff value, causing textures using that value to disappear at higher mipmap levels. Is used for flowers and similar blocks to avoid artifacts
    • car is the default and will choose the game mean for textures that do not contain fully transparent pixels and cut out for those who do
  • All mipmap levels are animated again for block animated textures
  • Beacon and Redstone dust now support translucent textures

Sounds

  • Added a new sound event for the Nautilus:
    • item.underwater_saddle.equip
