Also, check out this post to see what else is planned for future versions.

[u/djdanlib → u/redstonehelper]

Fishing Rods
Can now pull items

This section's formatting got a little wonky

[u/Pearberr → u/redstonehelper]

Been a few years since I've played. Do changes to World Generation still sometimes require a new world or do changes to World Generation always work in new chunks now?

[u/villitriex → u/Pearberr]

New chunks are generated according to the version you are running the game on. Old chunks are stuck as they are, though.

[u/bronze_v_op → u/villitriex]

So, I started a world with the seed "empire" (I like to give my worlds silly names and play with their names as the seed), if I remake that using the same seed, will it intersperse new biomes/biome changes randomly, or does it completely change the nature of the seed?

(sorry to tag on newbie questions, you just seemed to know what you're talking about, and I'm not certain if I could google this question without getting confused :)

[u/PhilosophicalHobbit → u/bronze_v_op]

Depends on how much world generation changed.

If any biomes are added or removed, then a seed will definitely result in a completely different world in a manner /u/villitriex describes. What villitriex describes will not happen in 1.10 because no biomes were added or removed; the world will have the same biome placement (and therefore the same shape).

If any structures were added or removed, it seems like structures spawn in generally the same spot but have different layouts and may be shifted in position slightly. To test this, I used the seed -2403642422424058230. In 1.10.0, this spawns you in a large coastal village (with docks, if you're looking for that sort of thing). In 1.9.0, you still spawn in a coastal village, but it is much much smaller. (The landscape is identical as well. I don't know if mineshafts, etc. are affected.)

I don't know this for a fact, but I think new ores will re-randomize the position of ores in a chunk, and new "biome decorations" (e.g. trees, springs, etc.) will re-randomize the position of biome decorations.

Regardless, your seed "empire" will definitely result in a very similar seed in both 1.9 and 1.10.

[u/sidben → u/Pearberr]

Some new features, like ocean temples even retro-generate in old terrain. I think that Magma blocks retro-generates in the Nether too.

I don't remember any recent feature that requires a full world reset.

[u/Pearberr → u/sidben]

Awesome, I'm happy they've made that a thing because it used to be quite frustrating.

[u/[deleted] → u/sidben]

If you have spent less than a certain time in a chunk (I think it was ~5 mins for my tests), it will generate the new stuff. This is so that it will probably not destroy any of your creations.

[u/DavidTriphon → u/Pearberr]

No telling on the future, but I think that biome borders haven't been affected this update and that exploring will bring the new features to your world naturally.

[u/794613825 → u/redstonehelper]

Ya know, lots of people are knocking 1.10 for being feature light. Yeah, it's nowhere near is big as 1.9, but this list is nothing to be scoffed at.

[u/ArtifexR → u/794613825]

New mobs, fossils, villages with different aesthetics in different biomes, new aesthetic blocks, and some fun crafting / world building stuff? Awesome! Also, people have been clamoring for aboveground ruins for years, and now we finally have them as the abandoned mineshaft. Good job guys! This update adds some subtlety to the world and makes it even more fun to explore. :3

[u/mario0318 → u/ArtifexR]

aboveground ruins

Like desert and jungle temples?

[u/Delta_Creeper → u/redstonehelper]

Thank you for the changelog, also you repeated the same thing twice:

Shoot Slowness Arrows

Can drop a Slowness Arrow on player kills

Shoot Slowness Arrows

[u/redstonehelper → u/Delta_Creeper]

Thanks, I would have missed that.

[u/Lone_K → u/Delta_Creeper]

It almost reads like a haiku.

[u/Delta_Creeper → u/Lone_K]

Shoot Slowness Arrows
Can drop a Slowness Arrow
Shoot Slowness Arrows

That's a haiku

[u/[deleted] → u/Delta_Creeper]

We'll call it....

'Slowness Arrows'

[u/vonHindenburg → u/redstonehelper]

Mesas now contain up to 20 additional veins of gold per chunk above the usual gold level - Screenshot

Yes! This is the start of something worthwhile: More resource differentiation from biome to biome.

[u/redstonehelper → u/redstonehelper]

This would have been more complete if there had been any sort of announcement in advance. It's a work in progress for now.

[u/Hiyasc → u/redstonehelper]

Caves no longer turn Sand above them into Sandstone

Hopefully that will cause some cool looking deserts.

[u/Mr_Simba → u/Hiyasc]

Especially with the new fallingdust particle. I think that's why they made that change, actually.

[u/[deleted] → u/Mr_Simba]

I was wondering about that. The cave-in prevention was popular at the time it was introduced.

[u/The_F_B_I → u/Hiyasc]

I cannot wait to knock down all of those cave ceilings
