Exploring the Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 23w51a
Snapshot Overview
Without further ado, let’s dive into the 23W51A snapshot. This time, wolf armor and the armadillo have officially appeared in the Java version of the game, and we’ve almost added the crab claw. There are also many other new attributes that have been introduced.
Crab Claw Attribute
One of the notable additions is the crab claw attribute, which has been officially added as a player attribute that can be manually configured. Unfortunately, the claw itself has not been added yet. By default, a character in Minecraft can reach 4.5 blocks, which increases to 5 blocks when in creative mode. Using the command “/attribute player generic.block_interaction_range base set,” players can set the desired parameter, ranging from a minimum of half a block to a maximum of 64 blocks. This attribute can be useful for map creators.
Entity Interaction Range
It’s important to note that the crab claw attribute only affects blocks, and a separate command “/attribute player minecraft:generic.entity_interaction_range base set” is used to interact with entities. This attribute allows players to reach all entities, including the Ender Dragon, by adjusting the range from 3 blocks to 64 blocks.
Size Attribute
Another interesting attribute introduced is the size attribute, which allows players to increase or decrease their size. The command “/attribute player minecraft:generic.scale base set” enables players to adjust their size from a minimum of 0.0625 to a maximum of 16 units. This feature applies not only to players but also to all entities in Minecraft, providing a fun way to experiment with different sizes.
Step Height Attribute
The step height attribute, which determines how high a player can step without jumping, can also be adjusted using the command “/attribute player minecraft:generic.step_height base set.” This attribute can be set from a minimum of 0.6 units to a maximum of 10 units, allowing players to customize their movement capabilities.
Other Additions
In addition to the new attributes, the snapshot also introduces the turtle shield and the armadillo shield. Furthermore, llamas and shulkers will no longer destroy armor stands with their projectiles. The breeze sound has been updated and new sounds have been added.
Conclusion
Overall, the armadillo and wolf armor in this snapshot are similar to what was shown in the Bedrock version. For a more detailed comparison, a link to the Bedrock version review is provided in the description. Stay tuned for more updates as Minecraft continues to evolve!
