With Minecraft gearing up to update to 26.1, we’ve just gotten access to a new snapshot. This snapshot being number 5 so far. We have a couple new features, some more changes to baby mobs, and more technical changes, read the full patch notes below.
New Features
- Revamped the visuals of more baby mobs
- Added new baby sounds for Chicken
- Added Golden Dandelion
Golden Dandelion
- Golden Dandelion is a new type of flower that can be used to stop baby mobs from aging
- Interacting with a baby mob while holding a Golden Dandelion will stop the mob from aging
- Interacting with a baby mob that has been stopped from aging while holding a Golden Dandelion will cause it to start aging again
- Golden Dandelion can not be used on hostile baby mobs and Villagers
- Can be crafted using a Dandelion and Gold Nuggets
Baby Mobs
- Updated the models and textures of the following baby mobs:
- Dolphin
- Squid
- Increased the bounding box of baby Squid to better fit the new model
- Glow Squid
- Increased the bounding box of baby Glow Squid to better fit the new model
- Turtle
- Axolotl
- Increased the bounding box of baby Axolotl to better fit the new model
UI
Game rules
- The search bar will now also select gamerules based on description and category in addition to namespaced ID and name
Technical Changes
- The Data Pack version is now 98
- The Resource Pack version is now 79
- Tags resolved from minecraft:nbt text components, with interpret: false, are now pretty-printed instead of being flattened into a single text component
Data Pack Version 98
- Changed syntax of some custom recipe fields
- Updated the gameplay/turtle_egg_hatch_chance environment attribute to have a default value of 0.002
Data Components
Added minecraft:dye
- Represents a color of dye
- Used in various places that previously required the exact dye item, including mob and block interactions
- Note: the presence of this component itself does not enable functionality. The item has to be explicitly allowed for the given functionality, for example by adding it to tags or changing recipe ingredients
- Format: one of white, orange, magenta, light_blue, yellow, lime, pink, gray, light_gray, cyan, purple, blue, brown, green, red, black
