(Estimated Read Time: 15 minutes)

After a long winter break, a new snapshot has arrived! This time, the very exciting to update to Armadillos alongside a big change to spawn chunk size. So, today, we explore Minecraft 1.20.5 snapshot 23W03B and how you too can join the testing and play.

Overview

Alongside all the Minecraft 1.21 features released so far, Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 23W03B gives armadillos new features and textures, adds new game rules, and buffs Breezes if experimental features are enabled. That’s quite a lot to do!

Minecraft Snapshot 24W03A Patch Notes

New Features

Armadillo Armadillo visual update! We gathered feedback from the first Armadillo snapshot, and the next step in the look of the Armadillo, the Armadillo Scutes and the Wolf Armor are now here.

Armadillos now also spawn in Badlands

Armadillo Rolling Up Behavior

Spiders and Cave Spiders will run away from Armadillos not in a rolled up state

Changes

Adjusted the texture of the Wolf Collar layer to be more consistent with the new Wolf Armor

Accessibility

The default focus is now always set when entering or exiting any menu while navigating using tab or arrow keys

Technical Changes

The Data Pack version is now 28
The Resource Pack version is now 24
Custom Villager trades can be configured to accept items that have different tags from the expected item byadding ignoreTags: true in the trade's NBT
When entities leave or enter the end the area they arrive in will now stay loaded for 15 seconds, matching the behavior of nether portals
Added transfer packets
Added cookie packets
Decreased the default size of the spawn chunks and made the value configurable

Transfer Packets

Custom servers can now request that clients connect to another server with a new packet
When a client is transferred it will connect to the target server with a new transfer intent (id 3)
By default servers will not accept incoming transfers and will disconnect the client
This can be changed by setting the accepts-transfers property to true in the server.properties file
Resource packs are maintained across transfers
In the case of a transfer custom servers can skip authentication with a new flag

Cookie Packets

Cookie packets allow custom servers to request and store data on a client
- Each cookie may be up to 5 KiB in size
- Cookies may be requested during login, configuration and play phases — but only stored during the configuration and play phases
Cookies are persisted across server transfers but are not persisted when the player disconnects
- This allows servers to pass along information such as authentication or custom game data to the new server

Spawn Chunk Changes

The size of the spawn chunks changed from radius 10 (19x19 entity ticking chunks) to radius 2 (3x3 entity ticking chunks)
- This was done to reduce memory usage, loading times and CPU usage
- We opted to not fully remove spawn chunks to allow players who currently utilize this functionality to continue to do so
Added a new gamerule spawnChunkRadius to set the size of the spawn chunks
- Possible values are 0 to 32, where 0 completely disables the spawn chunks and 10 is equivalent to the functionality before this change
- Default value is 2, equivalent to 3x3 entity ticking chunks

Data Pack Version 28

The minecraft:sweeping enchantment has been renamed to minecraft:sweeping_edge
Added Advancement Criteria trigger default_block_use which triggers due to the default interaction of a block by a player, such as opening a door
Added Advancement Criteria trigger any_block_use which triggers due to any type of interaction with a block by a player, such as using an item on the block or its default usage

Tags Item Tags New item tags controlling what enchantments can be added to what gear:

minecraft:enchantable/foot_armor

Entity Type Tags:

Added minecraft:ignores_poison_and_regen for entities that cannot be affected by Poison and Regeneration effects
Added minecraft:illager_friends for entities that Illagers will consider allies (unless on a different team)
Added minecraft:inverted_healing_and_harm for entities that have inverted meanings of the Healing and Harm effects
Added minecraft:not_scary_for_pufferfish for entities that will not cause Pufferfish to puff
Added minecraft:sensitive_to_bane_of_arthropods for entities sensitive to Bane of Arthropods
Added minecraft:sensitive_to_impaling for entities sensitive to Impaling
Added minecraft:wither_friends for entities that the Wither will not target and which cannot harm the Wither

Resource Pack 24

The ttf font provider transforms have been adjusted to have more reasonable defaults
- shift is no longer applied double, and now directly represents a number of pixels in the game UI
- The font EM square is fitted to size pixels in the game UI, instead of between the font ascender and font descender
- The font baseline is positioned consistently with the default font (7 pixels below line top)
- This means that generally, any font with a size of 9 and no shift should look correct by default

Experimental Features

Breeze

Breeze now deflects all projectiles
Deflected projectiles now deflect in the direction of the shooter

Trade Rebalance

In the Trade Rebalance Experiment, Villagers who buy armor now ignore durability and can buy damaged armor

How to Install Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 23W03B

Minecraft 1.20.5 Installation Screenshot

Installing Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 23W03B takes only a few minutes’ time.

First, open the Minecraft Launcher and enable snapshots under the ‘Installations’ tab.
Second, click ‘New Installation’ and then ‘Latest Snapshot’ in the drop-down menu.
Third, click ‘Create.’

With those three steps complete, a new snapshot installation will be a selectable option before clicking play! However, before the world is made, a few more steps are required if the experimental features of Minecraft 1.21 are also desired in-game.

First, click ‘Create New World’ and then ‘Experiments.’
Second, enable all the experimental features you would like to see in your game. ‘Update 1.21’ is the only one required for the features of Snapshot 23W03B.
Third, click ‘Done,’ and after giving your world a name, select ‘Create New World’ again.

The new world should now begin loading automatically! If not, select the world and click play before enjoying the game.

How to make Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 23W03B Servers

Beating the newly buffed Breeze is far easier with friends! Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 23W03B servers can be created for free through home hosting, but we recommend paid hosting options for ease of use and performance, especially since snapshots can be buggy! Paid hosting is offered here at BisectHosting and many other places around the web. No less than 4GB of server RAM is recommended.

Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 23W03B: Patch Notes & How to Play

As the patch cycle returns to full swing, we can’t help but wonder when the official Minecraft 1.20.5 update will be seen. Perhaps as early as next week? Once again, it seems we will just have to wait and see! Until Next Time, BisectHosting =)
