Thursday snapshot! Apart from some bugfixes and some changes to fancy tags and commands, we're introducing "chat preview" as a way to cryptographically sign chat messages that have been dynamically styled by servers. And for this snapshot only, we've left in our testing option test-rainbow-chat in server.properties, which can be set to true together with the new previews-chat option for testing. If this is something that interests you, and especially if you run a server, we would love your feedback on it.

Enjoy!

A chance to re-live the good old times appears in snapshot 22w16a with the ability to de-fragment a Disc - a new Music Disc, to be precise! This snapshot also comes with even more new music, tweaks to the Allay and to top it off it makes some random gameplay events slightly more predictable. Enjoy!

Update: We've now released snapshot 22w16b to fix a crash.

Let me tell you a little story about hubris. Well, not so much a story as a lament. Because some of you have been thinking that the warden was a little too easy. I won’t name names, but I know you’re out there. Why else would we be adding ranged attacks for this already terrifying mob? Was the sniffing not enough? When will it end? Not today, apparently.

Enjoy a new terrifying warden along with more advancements and technical changes.

Mangrove trees! Warm frogs! Mud blocks! More mangrove trees! Today, we’re happy to bring you the most mud-tastic Java snapshot to date!

Sure, it might be our only mud-tastic snapshot to date – but the important thing is that our new biome, mangrove swamp, now is available for testing, along with nitty-gritty features like the recovery compass and other, more technical tidbits. Enjoy!

Allay, the mob that nobody is really sure how to pronounce, is now entering the latest Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot. Along with our new shiny blue friend, we've added the Ancient Cities, which have seen some pretty drastic changes since the experimental snapshot a few weeks ago, so make sure you check them out.

Happy mining!

Waaaaaaaaaaah! It's Wal... wait that's not it. It's the warden! The spooky, unfriendly (maybe it just wants a hug?) mob is making its way into our latest snapshot.

Additionally, you'll be seeing some functionality for the sculk shriekers and some fancy new boats (they have chests).

Enjoy!

This update will also be found on minecraft.net... once our web server pixies have worked some magic.

I've been experiencing that since they updated the OpenAL library in 1.13 as can be heard in this video. (There's an extra stereo effect due to the MaxxAudio settings I had at the time, but you can still hear the sound frequencies changing when looking up and down.) There's also some bugs such as MC-125155 mentioning a change in sound quality due to HRTF changing the character of the sounds.

The catch was that if the game detected you as using speakers instead of headphones, it will apply a different speaker mode which doesn't have HRTF and also pans the sounds more aggressively. So I'm not sure if they just improved the audio device detection in this snapshot along with adding the in-game toggle, or even added HRTF to speaker mode, explaining why you experienced a difference.

Yes, you could do it before with external configuration. Now you can do it in-game, and it should work correctly for the vast majority of players. Sadly, not for everyone though. The OS still sometimes tells OpenAL that the connected device is speakers and not headphones, in that case the surround effect is broken. This can be fixed by a single line in alsoft.ini though.
stereo-mode=headphones
We may come up with some better way by the time of full release, but we did not so far.

It will not improve anything if you have 7.1 headphones, since you already had the surround effect before the change. The biggest difference will be felt by people with simple mini-jack headphones and no special software surround audio setup (most likely the majority).

Probably back in WIP. They got a lot of feedback from the experimental snapshot and they are probably still working on it.

Yes

Minecraft: Java Edition is jumping on the Wild Update train! The first snapshot for 1.19 is now available. It contains frogs, the Deep Dark, and a bunch of new blocks. We've also entered the era of 3D directional audio. Keeping up with the times!

Happy mining!
