Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 24w04a Patch Notes
CHANGES
Armadillo now also rolls up when it detects a mob, or a player that has attacked it recently
When an Armadillo is in rolled up state, its shell will protect it, and reduce the damage dealt to it, even allowing it to fully resist weak attacks
Renamed "Allow cheats" to "Allow commands"
TECHNICAL CHANGES
The Data Pack version is now 29
Added an option to use a faster region file compression algorithm on dedicated servers
Introduced changes to optimizing worlds
Improved server TPS debug chart
Reduced time needed to generate explorer maps to buried treasures
REGION FILE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM
Added a dedicated server configuration property region-file-compression with 2 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
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
WORLD OPTIMIZING CHANGES
Optimizing singleplayer worlds and running dedicated server with forceUpgrade now also upgrades contentsof entities and poi directories of the world
New recreateRegionFiles dedicated server startup parameter
It will trigger world optimization similar to forceUpgrade, but will also rewrite all the chunks independentlyof whether they have been upgraded
This will create fresh and defragmented region files
Using this parameter after changing the region-file-compression server property will recompress all region filesin the new format
IMPROVED THE SERVER TPS DEBUG CHART
As before, it is accessible by pressing F3 + 2 in a Singleplayer world
The bottom dark red section of the chart displays the time spent during the main logic of the server tick. It isequivalent to the value diplayed in the old chart
The light brown section displays time spent on running scheduled tasks
The purple section displays time spent executing all other code during the tick
The top light green (or yellow or red depending on lag) section displays time spent idling, waiting for next tick
The min, avg, max aggregate values are based on the sum of the first 3 sections
DATA PACK VERSION 29
Added the transfer command
TRANSFER COMMAND

Minecraft
Minecraft, a game crafted by Markus "Notch" Persson in 2009, blossomed into a global phenomenon. Set in a pixelated world, players explore, gather resources, and construct endless structures. With various modes, including survival and creative, it caters to diverse playstyles. Boasting over 300 million sales and nearly 140 million monthly players in 2023, it holds the title of the best-selling video game ever.
Its simplicity, coupled with a thriving community producing mods, skins, and more, keeps it fresh. Beyond entertainment, Minecraft found a place in education, teaching subjects like chemistry. Microsoft's 2014 acquisition for $2.5 billion propelled it further, spawning spin-offs like Minecraft: Story Mode and Minecraft Dungeons.
Minecraft Gameplay
In Minecraft, players dive into a blocky, limitless world where creativity and adventure intertwine. Armed with tools, they explore diverse landscapes, mining resources from mountains and digging into caverns. These raw materials then become the building blocks for intricate structures and creations. Survival mode amps up the challenge, requiring players to gather resources and fend off menacing creatures.
Creative mode, on the other hand, grants unlimited resources and flight for boundless construction. The game offers flexibility, letting players choose their path, whether it's collaborative building, solo exploration, or overcoming challenges. With its open-ended gameplay and vibrant community, Minecraft is a canvas for endless imagination.
Minecraft Development
Markus "Notch" Persson started creating Minecraft in May 2009, inspired by his game prototypes and games like Infiniminer. The original Java Edition was released publicly in May 2009 after private testing. Persson, joined by co-founders Jakob Porser and Carl Manneh, formed Mojang to support the game's development. The first major update, Alpha, arrived in June 2010, marking Minecraft's evolution.
Continuous updates, major and minor, followed, shaping the game's features. Microsoft acquired Mojang in 2014. Over the years, Minecraft expanded to various editions, including Pocket Edition and Education Edition, captivating millions with its open-ended, creative gameplay and regular updates.
