Minecraft 1.20.3-pre1

20 Nov 2023

The first pre-release for 1.20.3 is out, adding tools for server resource packs and bugfixes. See the changelog.

Breeze

The breeze no longer needs to be on the ground to shoot.

If the breeze meets all of the following conditions:

• Either:
  • It is a passenger of another entity, such as a boat or minecart
  • It is in water
  • It has the levitation effect
• It is not currently shooting, long jumping, or sliding
• It has not finished a long jump within the past 5 seconds or a slide within the past 3 seconds

Then the breeze can then shoot at any time within the next 3 seconds, as soon as the following conditions are met:

• It has an attack target
• The target is between 2-16 blocks away
• Shooting is not on cooldown (10 ticks)

After the breeze shoots or the 3 seconds are over, the above conditions (including passenger/water/levitation) can be checked again, and the breeze may shoot again within the next 3 seconds. This means the breeze can shoot twice in a row.

These changes fix MC-266468, MC-266456, and MC-266571.

Tags

Added the #can_turn_in_boats entity type tag, containing only the breeze, fixing MC-266456.

Resource Packs

If resource-pack-id is missing from server.properties, the server will generate a version 3 UUID based on the resource-pack URL as a UTF-8 string:

UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes(url.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

The resource pack ID for the Realms pack is 08c3b151-90fb-4c09-b6cf-0548364671bb, and ID for the world pack (resources.zip) is 640a6a92-b6cb-48a0-b391-831586500359.
