Cross your redstone wires - Snapshot 20w18a is out

Posted: 29 Apr 2020 08:40 AM PDT

In this snapshot we've made some changes to redstone wire and fixed a bunch of bugs.

This update can also be found on minecraft.net.

If you find any bugs, please report them on the official Minecraft Issue Tracker.

Changes in 20w18a

Redstone wire changes
The target block now conducts redstone signals

Redstone wire

The blockstate, rendering and behavior of redstonewire are more in line with each other. Redstone will provide power to blocks on all sides it shows a visual connection to, and not do so on those sides without a visual connection.

A single redstone wire is now represented as a cross.
A wire on top of a block, which is redirected from below, will power the sides it is redirected to now. E.g. a fence gate above the redirecting wire will be powered.
Wires that redirect upwards to wires on non-conductive blocks used to only be redirected visually. Now this redirection applies to their behavior as well.
A wire that is redirected to go over a block will now always provide power to the block. This is most noticeable when the wire has signal strength 1.

Technical Changes in 20w18a

Added a enable-status option to the server.properties file which if set to false will suppress replies to status requests from clients. This makes the server appear offline in the multiplayer screen.
Added control over how much entity data a server sends to clients
Advancement system changes

Entity Broadcasting

It is now possible to control at what range the server sends data about entities to clients.

Added an entity-broadcast-range-percentage server property controlling how close entities need to be before being sent to clients. Higher values means entities are visible further away from players but cause more network traffic. Specifies percentage of default value, so for example 50 specifies half of the default range.

Advancements

Added player check to every trigger (except impossible)
Entity checks in triggers can now use loot table condition syntax

Extended entity checks

Entity checks in triggers can now use loot table condition syntax. Old notation:

{ "trigger": "minecraft:player_killed_entity", "conditions": { "entity": { "type": "minecraft:blaze" } } }

is now equivalent to:

{ "trigger": "minecraft:player_killed_entity", "conditions": { "entity": [ { "condition": "minecraft:entity_properties", "predicate": { "type": "minecraft:blaze" }, "entity": "this" } ] } }

Note 1: Like in loot tables, all conditions in top level array must be met for whole condition to trigger.

Note 2: To access new functionality, top level element must be JSON array. JSON object are interpreted as old notation.

Full list of extended triggers:

New field player in every trigger
bred_animals - parent, partner, child
channeled_lightning - victims
cured_zombie_villager - zombie, villager
fishing_rod_hooked - entity
killed_by_crossbow - victims
player_killed_entity - entity
entity_killed_player - entity
player_hurt_entity - entity
summoned_entity - entity
tame_animal - entity
target_hit - projectile
villager_trade - villager

Miscellaneous trigger changes

Due to addition of player, existing contents of location, slept_in_bed, hero_of_the_village, voluntary_exile can now be placed in location field instead of top-level object. Old syntax is still supported, but depreciated.
