Minecraft 1.21.2 Snapshot 24w34a is now available in your launcher. Adjustments have been made to experimental features related to bundles, redstone, and minecarts, taking into account community feedback since snapshot 24w33a. Notably, redstone behavior is less random, and there are changes to minecart placement and landing. Happy mining.

Features:

  • Projectiles Interaction:
    • Projectiles like arrows, tridents, and fishing bobbers now bounce off the world border.
  • Improved Framerate:
    • Performance improvements when using higher render distances.
    • Significant reduction in performance impact during camera rotation.
  • Recipe Book Enhancement:
    • The recipe book now repeats the last selected recipe when you press the “space” or “enter” key.
  • Creative Mode Item Transformation:
    • Consumed items in Creative mode will no longer transform into a different item.
    • For example, drinking a honey bottle won’t add an empty bottle to your inventory in Creative mode.
  • The Data Pack version is now 50
  • Resource Pack version is now 36

Bundles:

  • The Bundle tooltip now fits 3 rows and can always show at least 8 item types
  • Developer’s Note: Items fill up a Bundle in rows of four, and when a row is full it is pushed down by the row above. This means there can be empty spaces in the top row.
  • In the previous 2020 Bundle experiment, items filled in from the top without leaving any gaps. We changed this behavior because it meant that items moved left and right in the Bundle as new items were added. This made it more difficult for some players to keep track of the order of items and some even reported that the items were moving randomly!
  • With only two rows in the tooltip, the behavior of pushing a full row of items further down the Bundle removed half of the visible items, which was too much. We’re adding a third row to make the design work better and allow players to see more of the items in their Bundles as they fill up.

Minecart Improvements:

  • Minecarts no longer forcefully snap to the center of a block when landing on a rail
    • Minecarts snap to corners along the diagonal, and snaps after being pushed by a Piston
    • This allows for Piston bolts and similar contraptions
  • Dispensers are allowed to stack Minecarts again
  • Minecarts now more easily come to rest at opposing slopes
  • Minecarts no longer tilt during a short fall, or when they are falling straight down
  • Minecarts are now placed (or dispensed) with the correct rotation straight away when put on rails
    • They are also placed with the correct rotation onto slopes
  • Minecarts no longer phase through blocks on slopes when going up or down, they collide instead

Redstone Experiments:

  • Developer’s Note: The removal of excessive neighbor updates around wire affects the behavior of Quasi-Connectivity based contraptions. We plan to address these issues at a later point.
  • Redstone wire updates now have a left-first preference
    • That means if there is a fork in a wire and the distance on both sides is the same, the left side will be updated first
    • This removes most of the random behavior
    • The remaining edge cases which are still random are situations where wire gets powered from above or below without enough context
