Minecraft: Java Edition 26.3-snapshot-3

Tuesday? Pfft. It's snapshot day! Today's snapshot introduces two brand-new features coming to 26.3: perfect for anyone that loves to camp in comfort. The cushion, coming in 16 color variants, finally brings the ability to sit down around a campfire. To go along with it, the straw bed brings the comfort of sleep (without the worry of losing your spawn point) to any adventure!

In addition, this snapshot brings many technical improvements: from custom brewing recipes to new ways to create and apply post-processing effects!

Happy cozy crafting!

New Features

• Added Cushion

• Added Straw Bed

• Added Gothic language support to the game

Cushion

• The Cushion is an item that the player can place in the world and interact with to sit on

• Can be crafted in 16 colored variants

• Cushions are crafted using 3 Wool Slabs of the same color

Cushion Placement Rules

• A Cushion can be placed on any flat surface

• Cushions always align horizontally to the grid, but vertically sit on top of the supporting surface

• Cushions cannot move

• Cushions break if the supporting block is removed

• Cushions do not have collision and can overlap with other objects (except other Cushions)

Straw Bed

• The Straw Bed is a new type of Bed which can be used to sleep through the night without setting your spawnpoint

• It can only be used once and will be destroyed after use

• It cannot be used in the Nether or The End and will be destroyed if you try to sleep on it there

• It is crafted using 3 Hay Bales and will give you 4 Straw Beds

• There's a new statistic in the Statistics window for amount of times slept in a Straw Bed

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 110.0

• The Resource Pack version is now 91.0

Data Pack Version 110.0

Commands

Added posteffect

• Allows adding or removing "post effects" to players

• These are postprocessing shaders that are applied to the player's screen, after the game has finished normal rendering

• Post effects exist on the client (in resource packs), not the server – the server cannot know if one will actually apply

• Post effects themselves were already part of the resource pack format, but only a few hardcoded ones were available to use

Developer's Note : This now makes custom shaders fully available to use from resource packs, but please be aware that shaders are still subject to be changed at-will, and the features involved (the command, post effects, or shaders) may be redesigned in the future.

Syntax:

• /posteffect add &#60player> &#60posteffect> - adds the post effect to the player, if it doesn't already exist

• /posteffect clear &#60player> - removes all post effects from the player, if any exist

• /posteffect list &#60target> - lists all post effects applied to the player, if any exist

• /posteffect remove &#60player> &#60posteffect> - removes the post effect from the player, if it exists

Changes to place

• The feature sub-command now allows in-line definition of the Feature

Environment Attributes

Changed minecraft:gameplay/bed_rule

• Field explodes has been renamed to destroy_on_use

• Added destroy_on_leave - optional boolean, if true , the Bed will be destroyed when leaving it

• If omitted, defaults to false

Added minecraft:gameplay/straw_bed_rule

• Same format as minecraft:gameplay/bed_rule , but used for the Straw Bed

Data Components

Updated minecraft:block_transformer

• Added optional boolean field update_from_neighbors . This controls if the transformed block should update based on neighboring blocks

• Defaults to true

Added minecraft:compostable

• Represents the ability to compost an item and how it adds layers to the composter

• Format: object with fields

• layers - namespaced ID pointing to an element of the minecraft:number_provider registry

Loot Tables

• Multiple block loot tables now reference predicates for checking if a tool has Silk Touch and is Shears instead of inlining a copy of those checks

Predicates

Added vanilla predicates

New entries added to previously empty minecraft:predicate :

• minecraft:tool/can_silk_touch

• minecraft:tool/can_shear

Potion Predicates

The minecraft:potion_contents Data Component Predicate has been changed to allow matching on specific potion effects.

The previous predicate format used a list of potion types, the new format allows for more refined matching.

The following fields can be used in any combination, all are optional:

• potions - A list of potion types or a potion tag to match

• effects - A Collection Predicate of mob_effects predicates to match

• The Collection Predicate format is as follows:

• contains - A list of mob_effects predicates to match

• count - A list of options for matching a specific number of mob effect predicates, which follow the same format as minecraft:effects entity sub-predicate`

• test - The mob_effects predicate to match

• count - The number of matches required, or with min and max will match a range of counts

• size - Require the mob effects list to have a specific size, or with min and max will match a range of sizes

The mob_effects predicate format is a mapping of effect types to properties of that effect. All fields are optional, only provided fields will be used for matching: { "minecraft: &#60effect type>": { "duration": &#60integer bounds representing a duration in ticks>, "amplifier": &#60integer bounds>, "ambient: true/false, "visible": true/false } )

Here is an example of matching on several different effects and criteria: "effects": { "minecraft:jump_boost": { "duration": 3600, "amplifier": 5, "ambient: true, "visible": true }, "minecraft:speed": { "duration": { "min": 360, "max": "3600 }, "amplifier: { "min": 2 } }, "minecraft:resistance": {} }

All criteria are optional.

Number Providers

• Added a minecraft:number_provider registry

Added vanilla number providers

• minecraft:compostable/low

• returns 1 if the minecraft:block_state context parameter is an empty composter, otherwise has a 30% chance of returning 1

• minecraft:compostable/low_medium

• returns 1 if the minecraft:block_state context parameter is an empty composter, otherwise has a 50% chance of returning 1

• minecraft:compostable/medium

• returns 1 if the minecraft:block_state context parameter is an empty composter, otherwise has a 65% chance of returning 1

• minecraft:compostable/medium_high

• returns 1 if the minecraft:block_state context parameter is an empty composter, otherwise has a 85% chance of returning 1

• minecraft:compostable/always_add_one

• always returns 1

Added minecraft:number_dispatcher type

• Returns the first case which fulfills its condition or the default if none do

• Fields:

• cases - a list of cases in the order that the dispatcher will try to execute them

• Fields:

• condition - a minecraft:predicate

• number_provider - a minecraft:number_provider which is executed if the condition is fulfilled

• default - an optional minecraft:number_provider

• Defaults to a constant 0 if omitted

Added minecraft:conditional_value type

• Returns the value from on_true if its condition or on_false if not

• Fields:

• conditions - a minecraft:predicate

• on_true - a minecraft:number_provider which is executed if its condition is fulfilled

• on_false - an optional minecraft:number_provider

• Defaults to a constant 0 if omitted

Added minecraft:weighted_list

• Returns a value from a distribution of weighted number providers

• Fields:

• distribution - a list of objects with the following fields

• Fields:

• data - a minecraft:number_provider

• weight - a positive integer

Recipes

Potion Brewing Recipes

Potion brewing recipes are now data-driven. New recipes can be added via datapacks, and vanilla recipes may be modified. Brewing recipes use the minecraft:brewing type.

The main contents are:

• input - A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents Data Component Predicate

• reagent - A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents Data Component Predicate

• output - item stack, the resulting item

Here is an example of a vanilla recipe: { "type": "minecraft:brewing", "input": { "item": "minecraft:potion", "potion_contents": { "potion": "minecraft:water" } }, "output": { "components": { "minecraft:potion_contents": { "potion": "minecraft:awkward" } }, "id": "minecraft:potion" }, "reagent": { "item": "minecraft:nether_wart" } }

Any items may be used in any of the 3 slots, for example: { "type": "minecraft:brewing", "input": { "item": "minecraft:bucket" }, "output": { "id": "minecraft:sulfur_cube_bucket" }, "reagent": { "item": "minecraft:potent_sulfur" } }

World Generation

Features
