Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 1

Word around the campfire is the new forest biome is out in testing! But if nobody's been to the dappled forest before, who built the abandoned camp? And what loot did they leave among the poplar trees and red shrubs? Scout out the place and set up shelter using the new wood set and other features from our next game drop. The expedition into wilderness starts now in testing!

Happy mining!

New Features

Added Dappled Forest Biome

Added Poplar trees

Added fallen Poplar trees

Added Red Poplar Leaves, Orange Poplar Leaves and Yellow Poplar Leaves blocks

Added Poplar wood set

Added Shelf Mushroom

Dappled Forest Biome

A new type of forest biome which can be found near cold biomes

Poplar Trees and fallen Poplar Trees generate here

Shelf Mushrooms can be found here, placed on Poplar Trees and fallen Poplar Trees

Red Shrub generates here

The following passive and neutral mobs spawn in the Dappled Forest, using their cold variants where applicable: Sheep Chicken Cow Pig Rabbit Fox

A Dappled Forest variant of the new Abandoned Camp structure can be found here

Poplar Trees

A new type of tree which comes in three color variations: Red Poplar Leaves Orange Poplar Leaves Yellow Poplar Leaves

Each variant of the tree has its own variant of falling leaf particles matching the color of the leaves

Poplar Leaves drop Poplar Saplings which will randomly grow into any of the three different variants

Poplar Saplings can be found in trades with the Wandering Trader

Shelf Mushrooms and Leaf Litter naturally generate on or around Poplar Trees

The trunk of the trees are made of Poplar Logs

Poplar Logs can be crafted into a new set of Poplar wood blocks

Shelf Mushroom

A new type of mushroom that generates on Poplar Trees and fallen Poplar Trees

Can be found in two sizes, small and large

A small Shelf Mushroom can be grown into a large Shelf Mushroom using Bone Meal

A large Shelf Mushroom drops two Shelf Mushroom items when broken

Can be used like other mushrooms to make Stews

Can be found in trades with the Wandering Trader

Shelf Mushrooms have a slight bounciness when stepped on, similar to Beds

Shelf Mushroom makes a bouncing sound when a living entity bounces on it

Red Shrub

A new type of decorative plant block that can be found in small patches in the Dappled Forest

, , and should now properly signal errors Pottery sherds are now data-driven

Entries stored in minecraft:pot_decorations component and minecraft:decorated_pot block entity are now full item stacks

Commands

Changes to give

Changes to item

Now takes a slot source as argument in place of anywhere a slot was previously used It will be evaluated with the minecraft:command_slot_source loot type Can be a slot source in either inline or reference form Can be a slot source targeting multiple slots The replace sub-command has new semantics: One by one in the order they are provided by the slot source, the contents of each destination slot are replaced with the corresponding source item When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the remaining slots are ignored Example: replace [12345] with (ABC) -> [ABC45] When there are fewer destination slots than there are source items, the remaining items are ignored Example: replace [123] with (ABCDE) -> [ABC] String notation slot ranges in the form <slot_type> or <slot_type>.<slot_number> are still permitted Can be a single slot, such as armor.chest Can be multiple slots, such as container.* Acts as shorthand for a minecraft:slot_range slot source using that slot range Example: hotbar.4 is the same as {type:"minecraft:slot_range",slots:"hotbar.4"}

The entity argument in the from entity item source can now be a selector targeting multiple entities When more than a single entity is targeted, the slots sourced from each are concatenated

item source can now be a selector targeting multiple entities Added new fill and override sub-commands, each with syntax identical to /item replace /item fill Fills each destination slot with a source item When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the items repeat until every slot is filled Example: fill [12345] with (ABC) -> [ABCAB] /item override Overrides the contents of each destination slot with the corresponding source item When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the remaining slots are cleared Example: override [12345] with (ABC) -> [ABC__] (where _ represents an empty slot)

and sub-commands, each with syntax identical to

Changes to execute

Added new slots condition sub-command Counts the number of slots from the slot source that are present on the targeted block or entity The slot source will be evaluated with the minecraft:command_slot_source loot type Syntax: /execute if|unless slots block <pos> <slot source> /execute if|unless slots entity <targets> <slot source>

condition sub-command The items condition sub-command now takes a slot source as argument instead of a slot The slot source will be evaluated with the minecraft:command_slot_source loot type Syntax: /execute if|unless items block <pos> <slot source> <item predicate> /execute if|unless items entity <targets> <slot source> <item predicate>

condition sub-command now takes a slot source as argument instead of a slot
