In the latest snapshot, players can look forward to the introduction of the final baby mobs, enhancing the vibrant ecosystem within the game. This update not only adds charm but also brings a suite of gameplay features that are sure to excite the community.
Changes

- Players can now craft Deepslate directly into its cobbled, polished, brick, and tile variants using the Stonecutter.

- Adult horses have seen an update to their black dot markings, aligning them more closely with the new baby horse designs.
- Sound assets for adult variants have been enhanced for a richer auditory experience.
- A bug has been resolved where the sounds for certain Cat variants, specifically <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>strayambient and <span class="MCEffect_TextHighlightA”>purreow, were not being played correctly.
Baby Mobs
- Visual updates have been applied to the following mobs:
- Panda
- Hoglin
- Zoglin
- Strider
- Snifflet
- Hitboxes for several mobs have been re-adjusted to fit into spaces that are 1 block high and 0.5 blocks wide, including:
- Zombie
- Husk
- Drowned
- Piglin
- Zombified Piglin
- Villager
- Zombie Villager
Creative Mode
- Operators can now use Ctrl + Pick input on players and mannequins to display results equivalent to executing the <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>/fetchprofile command for that entity.
User Interface
- Input Method Editors (IME) candidates will now appear in-game (on supported platforms, currently Windows and macOS) above the text field being edited.
- The fullscreen mode has been updated to no longer utilize exclusive mode.
Debug Screen
- A new entry, <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>detailed_memory, has been added to provide additional information about memory usage.
Default JVM Options

Developer’s Note: This adjustment aims to mitigate the frequency of crashes observed in recent snapshots. For those encountering crashes, please consult the help article for guidance on configuring memory allocation.
Technical Changes
- The Data Pack version has been updated to 99.2.
- The Resource Pack version is now at 81.1.
Data Pack Version 99.2
- Modifications have been made to the <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>minecraft:nbt text component format.
Commands
Changes to <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>/fetchprofile
- A new <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>entity subcommand has been introduced, allowing players to print profile information from an entity in the world:
- Syntax: <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>/fetchprofile entity
- If the targeted entity lacks a profile (currently only Players and Mannequins possess one), the command will not execute successfully.
- The profile is displayed as-is, without additional resolution.
Text components
<span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>minecraft:selector
- The <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>selector field will no longer accept trailing data after a selector.
<span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>minecraft:nbt
- Tags resolved with the <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>minecraft:nbt text component, when the <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>interpret field is set to <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>false, will now be pretty-printed instead of being flattened into a single <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>text component.
- Contents of the <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>nbt and <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>block fields will no longer be silently rejected if parsing fails.
- The <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>entity field will no longer accept trailing data after a selector.
- A new option, <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>plain, has been added to remove styling from pretty-printed text:
- The <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>plain and <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>interpret options cannot be enabled simultaneously.
Resource Pack Version 81.1
