A fresh new snapshot is out with some changes to the features introduced in last week’s snapshot and bug fixes, like that you can now use the lunge and mending enchantments together on the same item. We have also added environment attributes which can be used to control various visual and gameplay effects. Happy mining!

Changes

Underwater biome fog color and fog distance is now blended based on the player's position between biomes, similarly to regular biome fog and sky colors
Updated the "Oh Shiny" advancement to include the Golden Spear and Golden Nautilus Armor
Zombie Horses can be leashed when its mob jockey is removed
The Nautilus and Zombie Nautilus can now be controlled while on land
Mending is no longer incompatible with the Lunge enchantment

Technical Changes

The Data Pack version is now 90.0
The Resource Pack version is now 70.1

Minecraft Server Management Protocol Version 1.1.0

Enable authentication from web browsers
- Authenticate by passing the token in Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header when opening the WebSocket connection
  - Example: Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: minecraft-v1, <token>
- Requests authenticating this way are subject to Origin header checks. This requires configuration of allowed origins on the server side using management-server-allowed-origins. The default value is empty, meaning Sec-Websocket-Protocol authentication is effectively disabled

Data Pack Version 90.0

Certain visual and gameplay effects can now be controlled by Environment Attributes

Commands

Resource suggestions now show results in any namespace instead of just within minecraft

Changed `stopwatch`

Switched the order of the id argument
- Example: /stopwatch foo:bar create is now /stopwatch create foo:bar
query now returns the queried value and takes in a new scale argument
- The returned value will be scaled by that argument and truncated
- The scale is optional and will default to 1 if omitted
- Example: /stopwatch query foo:bar 20 to get the elapsed time in ticks

Environment Attributes

Environment Attributes provide a data-driven way to control a variety of visual and gameplay systems.

Each Environment Attribute controls a specific visual or gameplay effect: for example, minecraft:visual/sky_color controls the color of the sky, and minecraft:gameplay/water_evaporates controls whether water can be placed at a given location.

Developer’s Note: This system and many of the introduced attributes should be considered very experimental, and may still change significantly in coming snapshots and releases. In the meantime, we would as always love to hear any feedback or suggestions you may have!

Sources

Environment Attribute values can be provided by the following Environment Attribute sources (in order of low to high priority):

Dimensions
Biomes

The "effective" value of the Environment Attribute (i.e. what will actually show up in game) will be some combination of the values provided by each source according to their priority.

For example, in the following scenario:

The overworld dimension provides sky_color = #00ff00 (green)
The plains biome provides sky_color = #ff0000 (red)

When the player is in the plains biome, they will see the red sky_color, while anywhere else in the overworld they will see green.

When an Environment Attribute source provides an Environment Attribute, it can:

Override the value, such as the plains biome overriding the overworld's sky_color in the above scenario
Apply a modifier to a previous value (see section on Modifiers below)

Modifiers

As described in the above example, an Environment Attribute source may simply override the value of a particular attribute. However, it is sometimes also desirable to rather apply a modifier to a value provided by a source with lower priority.

For example, in the following scenario:

The overworld dimension provides water_fog_radius = 96.0
The plains biome modifies water_fog_radius with a multiply modifier of 0.85

When in the plains biome, the water_fog_radius will be resolved to 96.0*0.85 = 81.6, while in any other Overworld biome, it will resolve to 96.0.

The kinds of modifiers available depends on the type of Environment Attribute. The most basic modifier, supported by every Environment Attribute, is the override modifier. This behaves purely as an override of the preceding value. If not specified by an Environment Attribute source, the modifier will always be assumed to be override.

Full descriptions of the available modifiers and their behaviors can be found in the Common Modifiers section below.

Interpolation

While modifiers describe how a value provided by one source is applied on the value from a preceding source, interpolation describes the combination of values within a source. Interpolation is performed on values from a source after modifiers have been applied.

Only some Environment Attributes support interpolation. This allows for the smooth transition between two or more values, such as when moving between two biomes.

Biomes

For example, in the following scenario:

The plains biome provides sky_color = #ff0000 (red)
The desert biome provides sky_color = #ffff00 (yellow)

sky_color is one such attribute that will transition smoothly based on position: for example, in the above scenario, as a player moves from a plains to a desert biome, the sky color will gradually shift from red to yellow. Other attributes, such as water_evaporates, represent discrete values and will not be smoothly transitioned - only the biome exactly at a subject position will be considered.

Smooth transitions between biomes are based on the biomes within an 8 block radius of the camera. Biomes that occupy a larger portion of that radius and are closer to the camera will have a stronger influence on the final interpolated value.

Environment Attribute Map

Dimension Type and Biome definitions contain a new attributes field, enabling them to define Environment Attributes.

This map generally takes the form of an object mapping between Environment Attribute IDs and their corresponding values, for example:

"attributes": {
    "minecraft:visual/fog_color": "#ffaa00",
    "minecraft:gameplay/water_evaporates": true
}

Values defined as above will always be assumed to use the override modifier.

The value object can however be expanded in order to express different modifiers, in the format of an object with the following fields:

modifier: optional string modifier ID, dependent on the Attribute Type (see the Common Modifiers section below)
- Default: override
argument: the modifier argument (format dependent on the chosen modifier)
- How the argument is used also depends on the type of modifier

For example, the following definition describes multiplying water_fog_radius by 85%:

"attributes": {
    "minecraft:visual/water_fog_radius": {
        "modifier": "multiply",
        "argument": 0.85
    }
}

Common Data Types

The following data types are reused in various parts of the Environment Attributes system and will be referenced in sections below.

RGB Color

Format can be one of the following:

A hex color RGB string, in the form #rrggbb
A float array with 3 components, between 0 and 1, in the form [r, g, b]
An integer in packed RGB form

ARGB Color

Format can be one of the following:

A hex color ARGB string, in the form #aarrggbb
A float array with 4 components, between 0 and 1, in the form [a, r, g, b]
An integer in packed ARGB form

Particle Options

A full definition of a particle, including any type-specific properties (as in the /particle command).

For example:

{
  "type": "minecraft:block_crumble",
  "block_state": {
    "Name": "minecraft:dirt"
  }
}

Common Modifiers

Every Environment Attribute has a specific value type, which describes how values must be defined as well as what modifiers are available and how they are interpolated. Some are very specific, while others are reused across many attributes.

Although this is not an exhaustive list, the following Attribute Types are used commonly across many Environment Attributes:

Modifiers on Boolean Values

Argument format: boolean

override
and
nand
or
nor
xor
xnor

Modifiers on Float Values

Argument format: float

override
add
subtract
multiply
minimum
maximum

Modifiers on Color Values

Argument format: RGB color (except alpha_blend)

override
add - component-wise additive color blending
subtract - component-wise subtractive color blending
multiply - component-wise multiplicative color blending
alpha_blend - traditional alpha blending that might be seen in image editing software
- Argument format: ARGB Color
- When the argument alpha is 1, it will behave as an override with no blending
