A new snapshot is ready to be served, although somewhat… raw. Gordon Ramsey would be furious. Please don’t tell him, we don’t want to be called donuts. :(

Most of us have just gotten back from being off for a few days during Easter, so this snapshot is a bit on the smaller side.

NEW FEATURES IN 21W14A

  • Added Raw Copper, Raw Iron, and Raw Gold items
  • Tuff blobs can now be found between heights 0 and 16

SMELTABLE ORE DROPS

  • Ores that are smeltable now drop raw item forms of the ore instead of the ore block and these can be smelted just like before
  • This is to prevent cluttering the inventory and have consistency with Fortune on all ores
  • Ore blocks from old worlds and silk-touched ore blocks will continue to be smeltable

CHANGES IN 21W14A

  • Fully oxidized Copper can now be waxed

FIXED BUGS IN 21W14A

  • MC-203854 - Fishing rod texture always looks like it has been cast when in the player’s hand
  • MC-207173 - Entering only colons into multiplayer Direct Connection & pressing enter crashes the game
  • MC-210155 - Command block output no longer is displayed immediately after running a command
  • MC-213665 - Crash upon attempting to generate a world with a height of 0 blocks
  • MC-214287 - Crash upon entering a nether portal when logical_height is set to 0 and min_y is set to 80 or greater
  • MC-215120 - World-gen datapacks can cause crashes when first generating world
  • MC-216697 - Having ‘min_y’ set to lower than -64 causes either a crash or the world not to behave correctly if the height limit wasn’t modified
  • MC-217702 - Game crashes (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException) during world feature placement / decoration
  • MC-219849 - Fishing doesn’t animate or render the rod, line or bobber anymore
  • MC-220652 - IndexOutOfBound exception hard crash when loading a simple custom dimension datapack
  • MC-221553 - The end dimension generates differently than it did previously
