This week we're bringing a Snapshot you can vibe out to! This time around we're bringing data-driven jukeboxes, a new gamerule, and a bunch of fixes.

Happy vibing!

Changes

  • It seems we cooked a bit too hard with the new Piston sounds last week, which is why we're reverting back to the old sounds again

  • The panic lasts for 2 seconds after the damage is dealt. The following damage type tags are used by vanilla animals:
    • panic_environmental_causes: Used by Wolves, Polar Bears (adults) and Pandas
    • panic_causes: Used by all other animals and baby Polar Bears
  • Servers can now provide a list of links to clients
  • If client has received any links, a new button called "Server Links..." will show up in pause game screen
    • To make space for that button, "Report Bugs" and "Give Feedback" buttons might be moved into a sub-screen if necessary

Disconnection screen improvements

  • In some cases client will now store detailed information about disconnection (similar to crash reports)
  • When that happens, new "Open Disconnection Report Directory" button will be added to the disconnection screen

  • New clientbound packet server_links is available in configuration and game protocols
  • On receival, client will make links available from pause menu
  • Link labels can be built-in or custom (i.e. any text)
  • Some built-ins also have special fuctionality:
    • report_bug:
      • link will be displayed on disconnection screen, if disconnection was caused by packet handling error
      • link will be included as a comment in disconnection report
  • Added bug-report-link to server.properties to allow vanilla server to configure report_bug links
    • If this field is non-empty, server will send that link to clients
    • This field should contain well-formed URL

Custom server crash report details

  • New clientbound packet custom_report_details is available in configuration and game protocols
  • This packet contains a list of key-value text entries

Data Pack Version 45

  • Jukebox songs are now data-driven
  • Added new command syntax

Jukebox Songs

  • Path to jukebox song definition is data/<namespace>/jukebox_song/<id>.json

  • Attribute modifiers no longer have a UUID and name combination

        • id, replaces UUID and Name
        • amount, renamed from Amount
        • operation, renamed from Operation, now a named constant instead of an int:
          • add_value - previously 0
          • add_multiplied_base - previously 1
          • add_multiplied_total - previously 2
