Minecraft 1.21.2 Pre-Release 1 just dropped with a handful of final big changes to the new Minecraft update. Alongside that cool things like the creaking mob and creaking heart have been changed. The release of this update is imminent, and no significant changes will be made to the experimental features before the snapshots for the winter drop.

Features:

Winter Drop

Creaking mob

    • Creaking will not activate or freeze around players in Creative mode
    • Creaking summoned from the Creaking Heart cannot be named with a Nametag

Creaking Heart

  • Comparators attached to the Creaking Heart block will output a signal strength dependent on the distance to the connected Creaking

Changes

  • Tweaked air bubbles UI
    • Added an empty state for air bubbles along with a wobble when the player is drowning
    • Added a popping sound when the bubbles pop in the UI

Technical Changes

  • The Data Pack version is now 57
  • Resource Pack version is now 41

Data Pack Version 57

  • Added disablePlayerMovementCheck game rule (default: false) that disables player movement speed restriction
    • This behaves the same as the disableElytraMovementCheck rule, but applies irrespective of flying with Elytra

Item Components

minecraft:equippable

  • Added field camera_overlay (optional): namespaced ID of the overlay texture to use when equipped
    • If not specified, no overlay is used
    • The ID will address a texture under the textures/ folder and automatically assumed to be .png
      • For instance, misc/pumpkinblur addresses textures/misc/pumpkinblur.png

Particles

  • Format of color fields in particle options is now more standardized:
    • RGB fields can always be encoded either as a vector of floats (order: [R,G,B]) or as a single packed integer (order: RGB)
    • ARGB fields can always be encoded either as a vector of floats (order: [R,G,B,A] or as a single packed integer (order: ARGB)
    • Changed fields:
      • minecraft:trail.color (previously accepted only integer)
      • minecraft:dust.color (previously accepted only vector of floats)
      • minecraft:dust_color_transition.from_color (previously accepted only vector of floats)
      • minecraft:dust_color_transition.to_color (previously accepted only vector of floats)
