Today, the second snapshot of Minecraft version 1.16.2, the 20w28a, is now available in your launcher. It fixes various bugs and adds experimental support for custom biomes.
Additions and modifications :
- The black rock can now be used to make a still.
- Villagers emit green particles when they join a village, when they set up a bed and when they get a profession.
- Immortality totems now give a 40s fire resistance effect upon activation.
- Changes to the loot obtained through barter.
- A Piglin can now give a vial of water, black rock or a spectral arrow against a gold ingot.
- This change makes black rock renewable.
- A Piglin no longer gives a cream of magma or luminous powder in exchange for a gold ingot.
- Addition of an experimental support for customized biomes.
- Addition of a “worldgen” folder for data packs.
- worldgen/biome can contain biome definitions.
- worldgen/configured_carver can contain world sculptor parameter definitions
- worldgen/configured_feature can contain feature placement definitions
- worldgen/configured_structure_feature can contain definitions of structure investments
- worldgen/configured_surface_builder can contain surface definitions
- worldgen/processor_list can contain lists of block processors
- worldgen/template_pool can contain definitions of pools of jigsaw structures
- Custom biomes can be used in different types of worlds (Surface, Cave and Floating Island) after selecting the Data pack.
- Custom biomes can be used in custom dimensions.
- Addition of a “worldgen” folder for data packs.
- Added two new custom tags that can be customized via a data pack:
- base_stone_overworld: Define which target blocks the ores and others have to replace to be generated in the Overworld.
- base_stone_nether: Define which target blocks the ores and others must replace to be generated in the Nether.
- Dedicated servers can now eject clients that are constantly sending too many packets per second.
- Controlled by a rate limit setting in server.properties, it defaults to “0” (no limit).
