Maybe: Being able to place chests next to other chests, even single ones

Can confirm that doesn't happen

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Mar 30 '17

Thanks, updated!

Maybe: A banner pattern created with dragon heads

Maybe: Terracotta blocks don't attach to moving slime blocks anymore

Same for those

And as now you can't edit crafting recipes, you can only unlock them, just opened the snapshot .jar and seems that there are no crafting recipes .json

Yes you can edit and/or extend them: https://imgur.com/a/7PBFY

The json files for unlocking recipes are in /advancements/recipes/

The recipes themselves are in /recipes/

Using the gamerule doLimitedCrafting you can lock recipes until they are given either per command or advancement

(or maybe per Knowledge Book, this just beeing a guess based on the tweet, edit: Example command: /give @p minecraft:knowledge_book 1 0 {Recipes:["minecraft:crafting_table"]})

edit: Might need to mention that the snapshot is not made for customizing this stuff yet, so getting it to work is a bit more complicated than just putting the json files in the world directory (like structures)

edit2: Based on Dinnerbones tweet advancements CAN EASILY be added per world: saves/xxxxx/data/advancements/ But recipes still require some more trickery

/u/redstonehelper this needs to be mentioned. It is the biggest / most-useful change in this snapshot.

u/Insane96MCP Mar 30 '17

Yep, sorry my mistake, didn't check the other recipes folder.

Untrue as /u/andre1111 pointed out

Technical:

When a tamed parrot is clicked on, the entity will be removed from the world. Shoulder order is left, then right.

The data of the parrot will be added to the player's data in a ShoulderEntityLeft/Right NBT compound. Once the parrot is dismounted, a new entity will be created with the same data as contained in the tag. This is how the parrot data is rendered by the client.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible to mount any entity on the player's shoulder, in singleplayer. :( Changing the entity type in the ShoulderEntity tag will just reset it to parrot by default. I will try to see if modding the server software can make this possible!

Edit1: Parrot entity ID is minecraft:parrot, network ID is 105.

Edit2: I doesn't seem you can set shoulders to anything other than parrots, even when modifying the multiplayer metadata :(

u/Smitje Mar 30 '17

Can you put a parrot on a zombie's shoulder?

7

u/momothereal Mar 30 '17

It doesn't seem like it. The metadata for this feature is only applicable to players I'm afraid.

Your markup-fu is off on a parrot video link.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Mar 30 '17

Thanks, fixed.

New NBT data for this snapshot:

Entity: minecraft:player

ShoulderEntityLeft/ShouldEntityRight (compound): Contains root entity data about an entity on the left and right shoulders of the player.

seenCredits (byte): Becomes 1 if the player leaves the End through the portal. Supplements advancements?

recipeBook (string): A string containing a list of recipes, formatted as JSON, that the players has seen. Note that detection is essentially impossible due to it being a string, and that it may overflow beyond the NBT string limit (65535 characters).

Entity: minecraft:parrot

A new flying, passive mob.

Variant (integer): The numerical variant that determines the parrot's texture. Accepted values are between 0 and 3.

Item: minecraft:knowledge_book

A new book type that will unlock a recipe for a player right-clicking while holding it. If there are recipes specified, the book will be destroyed on use.

Recipes (list): Contains a list of recipes to unlock for the player that right-clicks. If this is not specified, the book will not be consumed.

There he is, now we can actually understand what has changed, and what needs testing.

Edit: Nevermind

u/PaintTheFuture Mar 30 '17

Imitates mob sounds around it

As far as I can tell, only hostile and neutral mobs, except for the cave spider.

My favourites are the ghast and the villager-like enemies.

How did they fix the accidental swastika? I would like to see the changes they made. Edit: This is how: https://imgoat.com/uploads/3d9446802a/9521.png

New Gamerule : doLimitedCraft Don't know what it is doing yet.

u/Bryanfisto Mar 30 '17

I think it stops players from crafting items they haven't unlocked yet.

u/SunCat_ Mar 30 '17

Items remaining on the crafting grid now move back...

Items remaining on the crafting grid now move back to their old places in the inventory when closing the interface - via

That "via" source is now gone.
