Technical Changes

  • The Data Pack version is now 97
  • The Resource Pack version is now 78

Data Pack Version 97

  • Added new block tags
  • Added new fluid tags
  • Changed format of time command to work with World Clocks and Timelines
  • Updated time_check condition to specify a World Clock

World Clocks

World Clocks contain an internal time that increases every tick. They can be defined in data packs under the world_clock registry (i.e. found under data/<namespace>/world_clock/<id>.json)

  • World Clocks can be paused or resumed, and the time of the clock can be changed or queried from the time command
  • Format: object with no fields

Timelines

  • Added a clock field: a World Clock ID, specifies which World Clock the timeline is tied to
    • This field is required, but to match previous behavior the minecraft:overworld clock can be used
  • Added an optional time_markers field, an optional map between namespaced Time Marker IDs and either an int or a Time Marker object,
    • Format:
      • Non-negative int, the tick that the time marker marks
      • Or object with fields:
        • ticks: int between 0 and period_ticks, the tick that the time marker marks
        • show_in_commands: optional boolean, specifies whether the Time Marker will show up in command suggestions
          • Default: false

Time Markers

Time Markers assign a particular name to a specific (optionally repeating) point in time for a specific World Clock. Time Markers replace the previously predetermined names that could be used by /time set, for example day or night.

Time Markers will exist within the context of a specific World Clock. This means that even though the different Time Markers are defined by different Timelines, only one Time Marker can exist with a particular id for a particular World Clock. It also means that two World Clocks can have a Time Marker with the same name.

Built-in uses of Time Markers

Some Time Markers are used to drive Vanilla game behavior. Usually, they are configured to not show up in /time commands.

  • minecraft:wake_up_from_sleep – the time to advance the dimension’s default clock to when players in that dimension wake up after sleeping
  • minecraft:roll_village_siege – the time of the dimension’s default clock at which the random chance for a Zombie Village siege to occur should be evaluated

Commands

Changes to swing

  • Both arguments can now be omitted and will fall back to the following defaults:
    • The entity selector will be @s if omitted
    • Which hand to swing will be mainhand if omitted

Changes to time

  • The time command is now based on World Clocks
    • A clock can be optionally specified as an input for the time command with time of <clock> …
    • If the clock is not specified (/time … as before), the default clock for the dimension is used
  • The return value (e.g. from /execute store) from the set and add subcommands is now the total elapsed ticks of the clock instead of the current time of day

Syntax:

  • time [of <clock>] set <time> – sets the total elapsed ticks of the clock
  • time [of <clock>] set <timemarker> – advances the clock forward to the next occurrence of the time marker
    • For the minecraft:overworld clock, the available time markers are: day, noon, night, and midnight
  • time [of <clock>] add <time> – adds ticks to the clock, can be a negative or a positive number
  • time [of <clock>] pause – pauses the clock
  • time [of <clock>] resume – resumes the clock
  • time [of <clock>] query <timeline> – displays and returns the current number of ticks within the timeline’s period
  • time [of <clock>] query <timeline> repetitions – displays and returns the number of times the timeline’s period has repeated
  • time [of <clock>] query time – displays and returns the total elapsed ticks of the clock
  • time query gametime – as before, the total elapsed ticks within the world (unaffected by changes made to clocks using /time)

Game Test Environments

Replaced time_of_day with clock_time

  • Added a new required field clock: World Clock ID, the clock within which to set time (from the existing time field)

Predicates

minecraft:time_check Loot Predicate

  • Added clock field: a World Clock ID, specifies which World Clock the time check should be done for

Recipes

  • result field should now be more consistent across all recipe types that contain it
    • It will now accept short form (e.g. “minecraft:foo”, which is equivalent to {“id”:”minecraft:foo”, “count”: 1})
    • For recipe types smelting, blasting, smoking and campfire_cooking this field now also accepts count field

World Generation

Dimension Types

  • Added field:
    • default_clock: optional World Clock ID
      • Specifies the default clock that will be used for the time command.
        • If not specified, the time command will require an explicit clock argument
      • Also specifies the clock to which minecraft:wake_up_from_sleep and minecraft:roll_village_siege time markers apply
        • If not specified, those time markers will never apply in that dimension
