Slicedlime brings the latest news on Minecraft Snapshot 24w03a, kicking off the snapshot cycle for the new year. This update brings significant changes to the spawn chunks, updates to Armadillo and Wolf armor, and much more. Let’s dive into the details!
Gameplay Changes
The default spawn chunks have been reduced to a 3×3 area, resulting in a 98% size reduction compared to before. This change aims to improve performance for players who are away from spawn. Additionally, a new game rule called spawnChunkRadius allows players to adjust the size according to their preferences, ranging from 0 to 32. The Mojang team is seeking feedback on this change, so players are encouraged to share their opinions on the official feedback channels.

The Armadillo and Wolf armor have received visual updates and improvements. Armadillos now spawn in Badlands biomes, Savannas, and have interactions with spiders and cave spiders. The visuals for Wolf armor have also been refreshed, along with new collar designs. Various fixes and adjustments have been made to the behavior and interactions of Armadillos, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
Visuals and User Interface
Several visual and user interface improvements have been implemented, including fixes for hand animations, keyboard shortcuts, and UI element focus. Additionally, baby striders now have their distinct appearance restored, and applying bone meal now displays particles for specific blocks.
