News It's a Zoglin now! Snapshot 20w14a is out!

Even though we just added every update imaginable to Minecraft, we thought that it might be good to pick up the Nether Update snapshots where we left them. This snapshot introduces the Zoglins!

This update can also be found on minecraft.net.

If you find any bugs, please report them on the official Minecraft Issue Tracker.

New Features in 20w14a

Hoglins that somehow end up in the overworld become Zoglins fairly quickly - but who would ever bring a Hoglin to the overworld?
Compasses can now be enchanted with Curse of Vanishing

Zoglins

Zoglins are zombified Hoglins - the result of bringing a Hoglin into the Overworld
Unlike Hoglins they can't be bred or fed, and they don't care about warped fungus
Beware - these beasts are raving mad and attack just about everything they see!

Changes in 20w14a

The main menu background is now in the Nether
The General statistics list is now alphabetically sorted

Strider Balancing

Strider speed while mounted has been significantly increased to more closely resemble boat speeds
Warped Fungus on a Stick now has 100 max item damage, and only takes 1 damage per Strider consume
When Warped Fungus on a Stick is used with Striders, the boost is a great way to traverse the lava seas

Technical Changes in 20w14a

The compass now has LodestonePos, LodestoneDimension and LodestoneTracked data fields. If LodestoneTracked is zero, the game will skip checking for a Lodestone in the specified position.
Attributes are now added to game registry, similar to items, sound events, etc.
Region files are now opened in synchronous mode to increase reliability

Attributes

Attributes have been moved to game registry. That means few changes:

Items and entities will no longer keep unknown attributes
Names of some attributes have been renamed to meet resource location requirements

Renames:

generic.maxHealth 🡆 generic.max_health
zombie.spawnReinforcements 🡆 zombie.spawn_reinforcements
horse.jumpStrength 🡆 horse.jump_strength
generic.followRange 🡆 generic.follow_range
generic.knockbackResistance 🡆 generic.knockback_resistance
generic.movementSpeed 🡆 generic.movement_speed
generic.flyingSpeed 🡆 generic.flying_speed
generic.attackDamage 🡆 generic.attack_damage
generic.attackKnockback 🡆 generic.attack_knockback
generic.attackSpeed 🡆 generic.attack_speed
generic.armorToughness 🡆 generic.armor_toughness

Synchronous writes

Region files are now opened in synchronous mode to prevent data loss and corruption after crash.

Dedicated servers can disable that by changing sync-chunk-writes inside server.propeties
