Minecraft Snapshot 25w46a

November 12, 2025

As the week progresses, the snapshot shipping room is buzzing with activity, signaling the arrival of new updates for the Mounts of Mayhem game drop. This latest release brings a fresh layer of refinement to upcoming features, along with a thoughtful reorganization of spawn eggs in the creative inventory, enhancing thematic coherence. Additionally, resource pack creators are granted greater flexibility in crafting their block models, paving the way for more innovative designs. For those interested in the specifics, a detailed changelog is available below.

Changes

Mobs

The Parched now enjoy immunity to the Weakness effect.
Horses, Mules, Donkeys, Camels, Zombie Horses, and Camel Husks will remain calm when controlled by other mobs.
Nautiluses and Zombie Nautiluses emit a dash sound during their dash attack, adding an auditory cue to their movements.

Items

Spears have been adjusted to no longer create item interact vibrations.
Spawn Eggs have been thematically sorted in the Creative Inventory into the following categories:
- Overworld
  - Farm Animals
  - Mounts
  - Pets
  - Wild Animals
  - Aquatic
  - Miscellaneous
  - Golems
  - Villagers
  - Undead
  - Spiders
  - Monsters
  - Illagers
- Nether
- The End

UI

An inventory UI has been introduced for the Nautilus and Zombie Nautilus.
The “Show Music Toast” option has been renamed to “Music Toast,” now featuring a third state that allows it to display only in the pause menu.
A new splash text has been added: “One does not simply walk to the Far Lands.”

Developer’s Note: This statement was proven false on October 4, 2025.

Technical Changes

The Data Pack version is now at 93.1.
The Resource Pack version has been updated to 74.0.

Data Pack Version 93.1

Item Components

Default Item Components

Food properties have been added to the following fish bucket items:

minecraft:cod_bucket
minecraft:salmon_bucket
minecraft:pufferfish_bucket
minecraft:tropicalfishbucket

minecraft:use_effects

A new field interactvibrations has been added, determining whether using this item emits minecraft:iteminteractstart and minecraft:iteminteractfinish game events, with a default value of true.

Loot Tables

The removal of contents as a supported value for the minecraft:dynamic loot pool entry has been reverted.

Developer’s Note: This value was previously removed due to the introduction of slot sources. However, community feedback indicated that some use cases were not fully addressed, leading to this reversion until suitable alternatives are developed.

Resource Pack Version 74.0

Textures for still water and lava are now hardcoded to minecraft:block/waterstill and minecraft:block/lavastill.
To facilitate future developments, a warning will be printed if any defined sprites in atlases share a name.
The block model and state format has been expanded to accommodate additional rotations.

Textures

Beacons will no longer support translucent textures.
A new texture gui/container/nautilus has been added for the Nautilus inventory UI.

UI Sprites

The container/slot/nautilusarmorinventory icon has been introduced for the Nautilus inventory UI.

Sound Events

The sound event entity.zombie_horse.eat has been added.

Block Models

Block model elements can now be rotated around multiple axes:
- Models will first rotate around X, then Y, and finally Z.
- New fields include:
 - x – rotation around axis X in degrees, float, defaults to 0.0.
 - y – rotation around axis Y in degrees, float, defaults to 0.0.
 - z – rotation around axis Z in degrees, float, defaults to 0.0.
- Existing fields axis and angle remain usable, with older notation taking precedence if both field sets are present.
The previous restriction limiting angle values to [-45, 45] has been lifted, although names of faces remain unaffected by rotation.

Block State Model Dispatch

Variants in block state dispatch files can now also be rotated around the Z axis:
- A new optional field z has been added, with the same format as existing x and y fields.
- Rotation around Z is applied after X and Y rotations.
