1.19.3 / 1.20 of Minecraft: Snapshot 22w42a

You may now access the 22w42a snapshot of Minecraft version 1.19.3 in your launcher. You may be asking why a 1.19.3 was released instead of the features of version 1.20 that were revealed during Minecraft Live 2022. Actually, they are there. In fact, this snapshot incorporates a feature activation system into the Java version, which you may use to enable integrated data packs when creating a new world.

Changes and additions:

• A system of experimental features that can be used as a data pack is added.
• When making a new environment, you can add them by selecting the “Data Packs” button.
• They can’t be added to a world that has already been made.
• To prevent altering already-existing worlds, they are designed to conceal incomplete or experimental functionality.
• Currently, there are two datapacks:
• 1.20’s experimental features
• The bag’s innovative features

Reorganizing the content and categorizing of the Creative Inventory tab in general

• Blocks and items have been relocated to more appropriate groups.
• Addition of the categories “Nature Blocks” and “Functional Blocks” and deletion of the category “Decoration Blocks”
• Removal of the categories “Transporation” and “Tools” and addition of the category “Tools & Utilities”
• categories “Foodstuffs” and “Brewind” are eliminated, and the category “Consumables” is added.
• categories “Crafting” and “Spawn Eggs” have been added.
• Redstone Blocks has replaced the former “Redstone” tab.

Now, blocks are arranged as closely as feasible by substance.

• For instance, all oak wood blocks and variations are now close to one another.

The same object can appear in multiple tabs at once.

• For instance, both “Building Blocks” and “Nature Blocks” have standard logs.

Items are now displayed in order on the search tab, organized by other tabs.

• For instance, products from the ” Building Blocks ” category will always display before those from the ” Redstone Blocks ” category.

Petrified Oak Slab was taken out of the creative inventory. It may only now be accessed via commands.

Various in-game chat adjustments

• Delete the chat window
• The words “This message has been erased by the server” will now appear instead of being completely buried when a server moderator deletes a chat message.
• The chat window now shows deleted conversation messages for at least three seconds before they are hidden.

Indicators of chat trust status have changed:

• For messages that have simply been style-modified by the server, the ” Modified ” tag is no longer visible.
• The Modified tag indicator and icon have been changed to dark gray.
• There is no longer a symbol and the ” Not Secure ” label is light gray.

In chat messages that have been partially filtered, the filtered content is now shown as gray hashes with hover text indicating that it has been filtered.

The “Panorama Scroll Speed” accessibility option has been added.

Technics:

• Added Feature Flags
  • These are options for enabling or disabling certain experimental or unfinished features (such as blocks, entities, and objects), hereafter referred to as “features”.
  • They can be activated via data packs
    • A new pack metadata section called “  features  ” is added, containing the enabled “  feature flags  ” in a list named “  enabled ”.
• The game now contains built-in data packs (similar to the “Programmer Art” resource pack) that enable features and provide recipes, advancements , loot tables, and more. that are associated with it.
• Recipe book categories/tabs can now be controlled by recipe definitions.
  • Categories available for shaped/ shapelessand various special crafting recipes:
    • building
    • redstone
    • equipment
    • misc (by default)
  • Categories available for  smelting,  blasting,  smokingand campfire_cooking
    • food
    • blocks
    • misc (by default)
  • Some cookbooks combine multiple categories into a single tab.
• The resource pack version is now 11.
• Removed  fixers  for resource packs with versions 3 and 4 (pre-flattening)
  • The game will no longer attempt to adapt packs from these versions to the current version.

• The sound of Crimson and Crooked Planks as well as variants now have a unique sound when placed, broken or stepped on.

Experimental features of 1.20:

• Addition of dromedaries (“  Camel ”)
  • This is a new mount that spawns in desert villages.
  • It can be fitted with a saddle and ridden by two players.
  • Camels are large, so most hostile mobs won’t be able to reach you when you’re on them.
    • They can also cross fences with no problem.
  • Camels tend to sit randomly.
    • When they are seated, it is difficult to convince them to move.
  • They can either walk slowly or sprint quickly.
    • They can also dash forward to, for example, jump over large holes , but they will lose stamina for a time.
  • Camels can be bred using cacti.

• Added bamboo wood
  • This is a new type of wood from thebamboo.
    • A board can be crafted using 4 pieces of bamboo.
  • Has a yellowish tint reminiscent of scaffolding.
  • Like all types of wood, it has its full range: stairs, slabs, barriers, gates, panels, doors, hatches, pressure plates and buttons.
    • However, the boat is replaced by a bamboo raft !
      • Has exactly the same function as a boat.
      • It is also possible to make a bamboo storage raft .
    • Unlike other woods, the bamboo barrier and gate have their own texture.

• Added bamboo mosaic (“  Bamboo Mozaic ”)
  • This is a variation of bamboo planks made using 2 bamboo slabs.
    • Also available in slabs and stairs.

• Added Chiseled Bookshelf _  _
  • It is a functional library where it is possible to deposit up to 6 books of all types.
  • React to the redstone using a comparator that memorizes the last book placed. This allows you to create secret passages.
  • The textures of the top, bottom and sides differ from theclassic library.

• Added Hanging Sign _  _
  • It is a sign held by chains that can be hung below the blocks.
  • It can be held in different ways:
    • Under a block that can provide support in the center, such as a full block or a fence.
    • Attached to the solid side of a block, a wooden support will thus be added.
    • Attached to the side or below another hanging panel.
  • Just like a classic sign, it is possible to write on it, color the text and make it shiny.
  • Available in all 10 types of wood
