World Generation

Noises

The format of Noises (defined in the worldgen/noise registry, or inline in noise-based Block State Providers) has been updated.

Noises define a fractal Brownian motion (fBm) configuration with the following properties:

  • Produces output values (approximately) fitting a normal distribution
  • Unless otherwise specified, fits the output amplitude to [-1; 1]
    • Due to the normal distribution, in practice this means that 99.7% of all samples will fit in that range – but values may still be encountered outside of this range
  • Parameterized by persistence=0.5, lacunarity=2.0
    • i.e. between each octave, the amplitude is halved and the frequency doubled
  • Has stable seeding such that an octave can be boosted, muted, or added without affecting the rest of the octaves
  • Renamed firstOctave to base_octave
  • Added base_amplitude – non-negative float, a scale factor to apply to the noise output
    • If not specified, defaults to 1.0
  • Added octave_count – integer between 1 and 32, the number of octaves to sample
  • Added normalize – boolean, or “legacy”, controls how the output amplitude should be normalized
    • If true, base_amplitude is the expected amplitude of the output (i.e. 99.7% of all samples in [-base_amplitude; base_amplitude])
    • If false, base_amplitude is the amplitude of the first octave
    • If “legacy”, inherits the same normalization behavior as expressed by the previous format
      • This would generally fit to a range smaller than expected
    • If not specified, defaults to true
    • Note: normalization is not affected by the amplitude_modifiers field – as such, modifying the amplitude of a single octave will not affect the amplitude of others
  • Renamed amplitudes to amplitude_modifiers – list of floats, a scaling factor to apply to each octave
    • The number of elements in this list must match octave_count
    • As described above, this scaling factor bypasses normalization and will affect the output amplitude
    • This field is no longer required – if not specified, defaults to all 1.0

Density Functions

Added pow

Raises the given base value to an exponent.

Format: object with fields:

  • base – Density Function, the base value
  • exponent – Density Function, the exponent
Added sqrt

Computes the square root of the given input.

Format: object with fields:

  • input – Density Function, the value for which to compute the square root
Added log

Computes the natural logarithm of the given input.

Format: object with fields:

  • input – Density Function, the value for which to compute the natural logarithm
Added sign

Computes the sign of the input:

  • If the input is positive, returns 1
  • If the input is 0, returns 0
  • If input is negative, returns -1

Format: object with fields:

  • input – Density Function, the value of which to compute the sign
Added distance_to_point

Computes the distance to a fixed point using the specified distance function.

Format: object with fields:

  • point – array of 3 integers in form [x, y, z], the point to compute distance to
  • metric – one of:
    • euclidean – i.e. sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2)
    • euclidean_squared – i.e. dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2
    • manhattan – i.e. abs(dx) + abs(dy) + abs(dz)
    • chebyshev – i.e. max(abs(dx), abs(dy), abs(dz))
Updated gradient (renamed from y_clamped_gradient)

Format: object with fields:

  • axis – x, y, or z, the axis over which to define this gradient
  • tiling – one of:
    • clamp_to_edge – outside the gradient boundaries, the value at the nearest boundary will be used
    • repeat – the gradient will be repeated outside its boundaries
    • mirrored_repeat – the gradient will be repeated such that odd repetitions are mirrored, ensuring continuity between repetitions
  • from_coordinate – int, the coordinate at which the gradient starts
  • to_coordinate – int, the coordinate at which the gradient ends
    • Must not be equal to from_coordinate
  • from_value – float, the value at which the gradient starts
  • to_value – float, the value at which the gradient ends
Added slice

Removes a dimension from the input domain by taking a “slice” along an axis with a specific coordinate. For example, with axis=y and coordinate=0, a slice will be taken along the XZ plane, with all values sampled at y=0.

Format: object with fields:

  • axis – x, y, or z, the axis to remove
  • coordinate – int, the fixed coordinate to be passed to the input function
  • input – Density Function, the input function
Changed end_outer_islands

Renamed from end_islands. No longer computes the density of the main island.

Structure Pool Elements

Changed minecraft:feature_pool_element
  • Can now connect to Jigsaw blocks with any target name, instead of just minecraft:bottom

Resource Pack Version 94.0

Shaders & Post-process Effects

  • terrain.vsh and terrain.fsh shaders are refactored to support multi-draw
  • Some of the members in Globals and DynamicTransforms are shuffled to use less memory for those uniform blocks
  • Introduced new define: RENDERPEARL_EXPLICIT_DEPTH_INVARIANCE – If present, indicates that an OIT shader should explicitly output a depth value because a device it is running on can produce a slightly different implicit value

Equipment Assets

The trim_palette_replacements field has been replaced with trim_overrides. This can be used to swap out the texture or palette used with specific trim materials or patterns for a given equipment asset, not just swap specific palettes.

  • Format: list of override entries with fields:
    • when – object with fields, the material and/or pattern to match
      • material – optional Trim Material ID, the material to match (if specified)
      • pattern – optional Trim Pattern ID, the pattern to match (if specified)
        • Note: this is not the palette ID, as trim_palette_replacements used to be!
      • At least one of material or pattern must be specified
      • If both are specified, both must match for the entry to be used
    • texture – optional trim pattern asset ID, a replacement texture to use if this entry matches
      • Textures are specified in the same format as asset_id
      • If not specified, the default texture for the pattern will be used
    • palette – optional palette ID, a replacement palette to use if this entry matches
      • If not specified, no palette remapping will be applied to the texture
    • The first matching entry will always be selected
    • At least one of texture or palette must be defined
