Minecraft 1.20 Pre-Release

Minecraft 1.20 is on the horizon, and the pre-release version is already generating excitement among the community. This release has been named The Trails and Tales update and marks a important step in the development of Minecraft.

In this blog post, we will delve into the new features and improvements that are included in the Minecraft 1.20 pre-release. As usual, we will only cover the most important updates and spare you from having to read every little detail. For that, you can click here to read the full changelog.

Changes

Colored Wool, Carpets and Beds can now be dyed to any other color

Technical Changes

Added new damage types: outside_border and generic_kill

Random sequences for loot tables are now deterministic

Changes in server.properties encoding

string data sources for the data command now accept negative boundaries, which are interpreted as index counted from the end of the string

Damage Types

Players outside the world border are now hurt by the damage type outside_border instead of in_wall

Forcibly removing an entity using i.e. the /kill command now uses damage type generic_kill instead of out_of_world

Loot Table Random Sequences

The game now uses named random sequences to deterministically produce loot for loot tables. Each random sequence produces a unique sequence based on the world seed and sequence ID, which means a loot table will produce the same results when ran with the same parameters in the same world.

The ID of the random sequence to use for a loot table is specified in a new field called random_sequence.
