Changes in this version:
Gameplay:
- Furnace recipe UI
- Furnace Recipes unlock during gameplay
- Similar to the crafting recipe book
- Customizable with data packs
- Fuel still hardcoded
- Fuel items will cycle through options when showing a recipe, but not automatically be put in
- Fixed the recipe book tab sound playing twice
- Fixed the tab player list sorting player names based on ASCII values instead of alphabetically
- Fixed nether portals no longer being activatable from the side
- Fixed flint and steel in dispensers losing durability when not igniting
Tech:
- Rewrite of world generation system (one more major change)
- Generator settings providable through json files
"The actual world will more or less look the same"
"With the new world generator you will be able to, in pretty good detail, design the world generator including what kind of structures to spawn. And you can add new structures to spawn."
"It should just mean it's faster for now"
"We won't be adding json files to create custom structures"
Customized worlds don't work yet
"We have plans to re-add them in a much more extendible way"
- Customized worlds can't be opened in this snapshot
- More things are structures (for /locate, ...)
- Cave_air blocks
- Void_air blocks
- Fixed the 'paintings.json' recipe file not using the 'minecraft:wool' tag
- New tags: banners, plates, slabs, stairs, boats
Commands:
- Re-added /enchant command
- Added command suggestions for entity selectors
- Whitespace is now allowed in entity selectors and blockstate arguments
- Added new item & block tags
- Fixed impossible selector combinations not failing to build
- Fixed the NBT path parser being too lenient
- Fixed cycling through tab suggestions starting at the value after the highlighted value even if the highlighted value differs from the currently chosen value
- Fixed tab suggestion erroneously suggesting a second closing square bracket on entity selectors
- Fixed the tab suggestion box for the entity selector closing square bracket being misaligned in certain situations
- Fixed the tab suggestion box for entity selectors not disappearing when leaving the argument in an invalid state and beginning the next argument
- Fixed the game crashing when there is a closing square bracket without an opening one in a command
Warning:
- Very unstable snapshot
- Parts of world gen broken
- Worlds opened in this snapshot will very likely not work with 1.13 when released
- Nether generation broken
- Upside-down trees "tree-stumps"
- End city generation
