Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.5 Preview And Changes – Wiki Guide

1.20.5 is an upcoming minor update with no set release date. The update plans to add armadillos and wolf armor along with fixing many bugs.

Additions

Items

Armadillo Scute

• Dropped by armadillos periodically and when brushed.
• Dispensers can be used to brush armadillo scutes off armadillos.
• Can be used to craft wolf armor.

Spawn Egg

• Added Armadillo spawn egg.

 Wolf Armor

• Crafted with 6 armadillo scutes in a harness shape.
• Protects wolves from damage.
  • Wolf Armor gives wolves the same protection level as Diamond Horse Armor.
• Using wolf armor on an adult tamed wolf will equip the armor on the wolf, and using shears will make it drop the armor.
  • Only a wolf’s owner can put on / shear off wolf armor. That also excludes dispensers.
• If a Wolf dies while wearing armor, it will drop the armor.

Mobs

Armadillo

• The winner of Minecraft Live 2023’s Mob Vote.
• A passive mob that spawns in savanna and badlands biomes with the same frequency as chickens and pigs.
• Has 12 ( × 6) health points.
• Can drop armadillo scutes either periodically or when brushed, but drops no loot when killed.
  • Armadillos drop scutes at around the same rate as chickens lay eggs.
  • Brushing takes some durability from the brush.
• Can be bred with spider eyes.
• If an armadillo detects a threat, it will roll up.
  • Threats include:
    • A player sprinting.
    • A player in a vehicle or mounted.
    • Anyone it has been attacked by recently.
    • Undead mobs.
  • Special cases where an armadillo will not roll up include when it is:
    • Fleeing.
    • In water or in the air.
    • On a leash.
  • When an Armadillo is rolled up it cannot walk nor eat, and will not be tempted by food. Additionally, it will be protected by its shell, causing it to take reduced damage and completely negating damage from weaker attacks.
  • While rolled up, armadillos will continuously scan for threats. If no threats are detected for 3 seconds (60 ticks), it will unroll.

Wolf

• Added variants of wolves.
  • The familiar pale wolf now spawns in the taiga biome.
  • The rusty wolf spawns in the sparse jungle biome.
  • The spotted wolf spawns in the savanna plateau.
  • The black wolf spawns in old growth pine taiga.
  • The striped wolf spawns in wooded badlands.
  • The snowy wolf spawns in groves.
  • The ashen wolf spawns in the snowy taiga.
  • The woods wolf spawns in forests.
  • The chestnut wolf spawns in old growth spruce taiga.
  • Wolves spawned with the wolf spawn egg will spawn as the variant associated with the biome the egg is used in. They default to pale wolf in any other biome.
  • Different wolf types will spawn with different pack sizes.

Command format

/transfer

• New command that triggers a transfer of a player to another server.
• Only exists on dedicated servers.
• Syntax: /transfer <hostname> [<port>] [<players>]
  • hostname: String describing the hostname of the server to connect to.
  • port: Integer denoting the port number of the server to connect to.
    • If omitted, 25565 is used.
  • players: The players to transfer.
    • If omitted, @s is used.

Item modifiers

  • Adds or replaces the given component on the input item.
  • conditions: list of conditions (default: []):
    • Conditions to check before applying the function.
  • components: map of component id to component value (format varied by id).
    • Components with a ! prefix (e.g. "!minecraft:damage": {}) will cause this component to be removed.
• Added minecraft:copy_components function.
  • Copies components from a specified source onto an item.
  • This is now used in the Vanilla pack in place of the minecraft:copy_name and minecraft:copy_nbt functions.
  • conditions: list of conditions (default: []):
    • Conditions to check before applying the function.
  • source: source type to pull from.
    • Currently, can only and must be "block_entity".

General

Attribute

• Added generic.fall_damage_multiplier attribute to multiply overall fall damage amount.
  • Default is 1, and the valid range is from 0 to 100.
• Added generic.gravity attribute that controls blocks/tick^2 acceleration downward.
  • Default is 0.08, and the valid range is from -1 to +1.
• Added generic.safe_fall_distance attribute to control the fall distance after which the entity will take fall damage.
  • Default is 3, and the valid range is from -1024 to +1024.
• Added the generic.scale attribute.
  • Allows changing the size of any mob to anywhere between 0.0625 and 16 times their default size.
• Added the generic.step_height attribute.
  • Determines the max height in blocks where a mob can walk above without jumping.
  • Default is 0.6, and the valid range is from 0 to 10.
• Added player.block_break_speed attribute that acts as a multiplier over block breaking speed for players.
  • The valid range is from 0 to 1024.
• Added the player.block_interaction_range and player.entity_interaction_range attributes.
  • Determines the maximum range a player can interact with blocks and entities, respectively.
  • They both range between 0 and 64, with the default value being 4.5 for blocks and 3 for entities.

Entity predicate

• Added entity sub-predicate slots, used to check single or multiple slots on any entity.
  • For slot ranges, only one slot needs to match for whole entry to pass
  • The field contains a map of slot names (same as ones used in item commands) to item predicate

Game rule

• Added spawnChunkRadius to set the size of the spawn chunks.
  • Defaults to 2, equivalent to 3×3 entity ticking chunks.
  • Possible values are 0 to 32, where 0 completely disables the spawn chunks and 10 is equivalent to the functionality before this change.

Inventory

• Added new slot names:
  • container.*: contains container.0 to container.53.
  • hotbar.*: contains hotbar.0 to hotbar.8.
  • inventory.*: contains inventory.0 to inventory.26.
  • enderchest.*: contains enderchest.0 to enderchest.26.
  • villager.*: contains villager.0 to villager.7.

Options

• Added “Menu Background Blurriness” in Accessibility Settings.
  • Defaults to 50%.

Particles

• Added vault_connection particle, which shows up when near a vault.

Servers

• Added 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.
• Added 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.
• Added an option to configure how region file compression algorithm is handled on dedicated servers.
  • Added a dedicated server configuration property region-file-compression with 3 possible values:
    • deflate, the default option. Uses the old algorithm.
    • lz4 uses LZ4 algorithm, which requires less CPU time to compress and decompress but uses more disk space.
    • none does not compress the data.
      • Consumes significantly more space and requires significant time to read and write, even though CPU is used less.
      • Might make sense together with filesystem level compression.
  • Changing the compression algorithm will not automatically recompress the world.
    • New or updated chunks will use the newly configured algorithm, but the old ones will stay in the previous format.
• Added a reserved region file compression id for third-party servers to use for custom compression implementations.
  • Compression id 127 can now be used for custom implementations of region file compression.
  • When used, the version id must be followed by a namespaced string representing the custom algorithm used.

  • Changing the compression algorithm will not automatically recompress the world.
    • New or updated chunks will use the newly configured algorithm, but the old ones will stay in the previous format.
• Introduced changes to optimizing worlds.
  • Optimizing singleplayer worlds and running dedicated server with forceUpgrade now also upgrades contents of entities and poi directories of the world.

Experimental
