Decorated Pots

• Decorated Pots now store up to a single stack of items

• Comparators can now read the number of items in Decorated Pots
• Players can interact with Decorated Pots to insert items into them

Minor Tweaks

• Monster Spawner now renders their inner faces when looking inside
• Thrown Ender Pearls produce a teleportation sound on impact

Experimental Features:

Crafter

• The Crafter is a new block that enables the crafting of items and blocks via Redstone
• The Crafter will eject one crafted item at a time when powered by a Redstone pulse
• Upon receiving a signal, the Crafter will eject the recipe result from the front face
• If the output result has multiple types of items, all the result items will be ejected together
• When placed, the front face of the Crafter will face towards the Player

Crafter User Interface

• The Crafter has a 3×3 interactable crafting grid
• The Crafter’s crafting grid slots are toggleable, meaning that the player can change the behavior of a slot by interacting with it while not holding an item
• A slot that is ‘toggled’ cannot hold any items
  • Other blocks such as Hoppers and Droppers also cannot place items into them
• Unlike the Crafting Table, the Crafter displays a preview of the crafted item which will be crafted and ejected on the next Redstone pulse, but cannot be manually taken out by the player
• The Crafter User Interface is shared between all players interacting with it, meaning that multiple players can interact with the Crafter at the same time, similar to Chests and Hoppers

Crafter Interaction with Other Blocks

• The signal strength of a Comparator reading a Crafter is 0-9, where each non-empty or toggled slot adds 1 strength
• Hoppers and Minecarts with Hoppers can be used to both insert and extract items from the Crafter
• Droppers can be used to insert items into the Crafter
• Items inserted from another block (ex: Hopper, Dropper) will fill the Crafter’s slots based on these rules:
  • Prioritize the first empty slot (from left-to-right, top-to-bottom)
  • If there are no empty slots then prioritize the smallest stack of the same item (pick the first if there are multiple)
  • If there is a toggled slot it will be skipped. The item will then be moved into the container
  • If the item cannot be moved, it will be ejected into the world
• Items are removed from Crafters by Hoppers and Minecarts with Hoppers in the same order as from other containers like Chests

  • Chiseled Copper

  • Oxidized Copper Bulb: Light level 4
• When placed, its light is off by default

• A Redstone crystal will glow in the center of Copper Bulbs while it is powered by a Redstone signal
• Comparators will read a signal strength of 15 if the Copper Bulb’s light is on

Added Breeze Mob

• The Breeze is a cunning hostile mob spawned by the Trial Spawner in some rooms within the Trial Chambers
• The Breeze moves primarily by leaping around its target
• An aggressive adversary, the Breeze shoots volatile wind energy in the form of Wind Charge projectiles at its target
• Wind Charges deal a small amount of damage when colliding directly with an entity
• After colliding with an entity or a block, Wind Charge projectiles produce a Wind Burst, which knocks back entities in the area

  • Bells are rung and swung
  • Lit Candles are extinguished
• Wind Bursts do not have any effect on Iron Doors, Iron Trapdoors, or any block being held in its position by a Redstone signal

Trial Spawner

• The Trial Spawner is a new variant of Monster Spawners that ejects rewards upon completion
• The challenge level will increase for each new player a Trial Spawner notices nearby
  • The challenge level will not decrease until it is reset during a Trial Spawner’s cooldown
• Unlike normal Spawners, a Trial Spawner will spawn a limited number of mobs proportional to its current challenge level
  • It can only spawn a mob at positions that are within line of sight
  • It can spawn a mob regardless of any light level requirement the mob has
  • Spawned mobs are persistent
• Once all mobs are defeated, the Trial Spawner will eject a set of rewards proportional to the current challenge level
  • After the rewards have been ejected, the Trial Spawner goes into cooldown for 30 minutes, during which it will no longer spawn mobs
• Trial Spawners cannot be crafted nor obtained by players in Survival – instead, they can be found naturally placed throughout Trial Chambers
• Trial Spawners are extremely slow to mine and resistant to explosions, and will not drop even with Silk Touch
• When placed in Creative, Trial Spawners have no mob type set by default
  • The mob type can be set by interacting with it while holding a Spawn Egg
• Creative and Spectator players cannot be detected or noticed by Trial Spawners

Trial Chambers

• Trial Chambers are a new structure in the Overworld where players can explore and take on combat challenges
  • Trial Chambers are made out of a variety of Copper and Tuff blocks, and can be found in different sizes
  • Trial Chambers are a relatively common find throughout the Deepslate layer of the underground
• The layout of each Trial Chamber is procedurally generated, and can include traps, Reward Chests and a variety of combat areas
  • Supply Chests can be found between different rooms, and give you blocks and items which help you navigate your trials
  • Reward Chests are guarded by challenges in each room, and can be a source of many high level enchanted books and equipment
  • The loot found in Reward Chests are still being iterated, and are absolutely not final
• Each Trial Chamber will include Trial Spawners with a melee, small melee, or ranged category:
  • Melee
    • Zombie

    • Spider
    • Cave Spider
    • Baby Zombie
    • Silverfish

  • The exceptions to this are some Trial Spawners in unique rooms which always spawn Breezes
• Natural mob spawning does not occur within Trial Chambers
