MINECRAFT SNAPSHOT 21W20A

A Minecraft Java Snapshot

Another snapshot is now going out. This time around, we fixed quite a few bugs, and we also introduced some changes to some Caves & Cliffs features, and additionally, we added some extra context for the narrator..

CHANGES IN 21W20A

  • Actually made Geodes rarer this time
  • GUI narration now includes position and usage of hovered or focused element
  • Tilling Rooted Dirt with a Hoe will now convert it into Dirt, and pop out a Hanging Roots item
  • Axolotls will now only play dead when in water
  • Llamas no longer spit at players in peaceful mode
