Minecraft - The first knowledge sharing application in Vietnam

Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sunrise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.

How do I update Minecraft?

Open the Minecraft Launcher. Click on “Options,” next to the username text box, then press “Force update!” and login with your Minecraft credentials afterwards. Minecraft will start updating itself. This can also be used to get a fresh Minecraft installation, which will keep your saved games and texture packs, but not your mods.

What is the difference between Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition?

Java is, by and large, the more powerful and feature-rich version of Minecraft, but it lacks the compatibility and cross-play support of Bedrock. Furthermore, Bedrock Edition comes packaged with microtransactions, RTX support, and a handful of other exclusive functions (not to mention a broader set of supported devices).

Java Edition is PC only and players can only interact with other Java Edition players. Meanwhile, Bedrock Edition is multi-platform which means Bedrock players can interact with each other be it console, mobile or PC.

Gamers on the Java Edition have access to numerous communities and endless mods. These two combined make the multiplayer experience of the game a lot more malleable. The biggest con for Java Edition is that it requires higher spec machines to run smoothly.

Bedrock Edition does offer a few things that the Java Edition does not have. Mainly its marketplace, where you can acquire skins and add-ons, and the option to use controllers. Parental controls via Xbox services also provide peace of mind to parents.

How do I find other Minecraft players online?

To play Minecraft with other players, find a server first. Different servers offer different gameplay. Some are centered around building, others offer an MMO experience, and others are centered around survival.

There is a universe of possibilities, so your best bet is use any search engine to find Minecraft servers with the kind of gameplay style you’re looking for. Such is the diversity that if you’re looking for gameplay similar to GTA all you have to do is search “Grand Theft Auto Minecraft servers” to get a list of options. Once you have found a server, open Minecraft, select Multiplayer, and choose “Add Server.”

Note: To play Minecraft Java Edition please download and install Java first. (Minecraft 1.19+ requires Java 17)

Minecraft Java Edition 1.19.4

Command format
Game rule

Added commandModificationBlockLimit.
- Defaults to 32768.
- Controls the maximum number of blocks changed in one execution of /clone, /fill, and /fillbiome commands.
Added doVinesSpread.
- Defaults to true.
- Determines if vines will spread to nearby blocks.
- Does not affect cave vines, twisting vines and weeping vines.

/damage

A new command to apply damage to entities, with following syntaxes:
- /damage [] [at ]
- /damage [] [by ] [from ]
Parameters:
- target: The entity to damage.
- amount: Amount of damage to inflict.
- damageType: The type of damage to inflict.
  - This determines how the damage affects the entity as well as which death message is displayed.
- location: The location the damage originated at (when no entity caused the damage).
  - For instance, location might represent the location of a bed exploding in the Nether.
- entity: The entity inflicting the damage.
- cause: The cause of the damage, in the case of indirect damage.
  - Example: When shot by an arrow, the entity is the arrow projectile while cause might be a skeleton.

/ride

A new command to allow entities to start or stop riding other entities, syntaxes:
- /ride mount : makes a single target mount a single vehicle, will fail if:
  - vehicle is a player;
  - target is already riding a vehicle;
  - target and vehicle are the same entity;
  - vehicle is already a passenger (direct or indirect) of target.
- /ride dismount: dismounts target from any vehicle it is riding, will fail if target is not riding anything.

Display entities

Including Block Display, Item Display, and Text Display (block_display, item_display, and text_display), for flexible display of blocks, items and text.
- Like marker (marker), don’t tick and have no collisions or physics.
- Models render at entity position, with normal rotation around X and Y axis (so it can be controlled by teleport commands), but also with additional arbitrary model transform.
2 new data types added, each of them has 2 forms, but only one for saving, as following:
- rotation
- Quaternion form (used for saving): array of 4 numbers, describing components (x, y, z, w).
- Axis-angle form: object with following fields:
- axis: 3D vector.
- angle: Angle in radians.
- transformation: Arbitrary affine transform, composed as following fields and following order:
- Matrix form: array of 16 numbers, describing row-major matrix.
- Decomposed form (used for saving): object with following fields:
- translation: 3D vector.
- left_rotation: rotation object.
- scale: 3D vector.
- right_rotation: rotation object.
Some properties of display entites can be interpolated, to create gradual changes over time for clients, instead of instantenous jumps.
- Display entities keep track of current and previous values of interpolated values:
- All properties marked as “interpolated” are part of a single interpolation set.
- Any update to interpolated property will cause all values of interpolation set to be saved as “current”.
- Data command executions that do not change value of property (even if it’s present in NBT) do not count as updates.
- Updates are synchronized to clients at most once per tick, so multiple updates within command will still count as single update.
- Previous current values are saved as “previous”.
- If interpolation is enabled, entity will transition between “previous” and “current” values over time.
- Start of interpolation (entity fully in “previous” state) is defined by field interpolation_start (game time, in ticks).
- Set to -1 to load current game time instead.
- When a new interpolation is started, it starts from the current state.
- Interpolation always starts at the beginning on client tick.
- Field interpolation_start is replaced with start_interpolation, with a different meaning.
- start_interpolation describes amount of ticks from the start of next client tick after receiving an update to start of interpolation.
- For example, value 0 means that interpolation will start at the beginning of next client tick after receiving the update.
- start_interpolation is not stored in entity data.
- When using /data commands, if interpolated value is updated, but start_interpolation is not present in modified tag, interpolation will continue from the time of previous update, but with new values.
- End of interpolation (entity fully in “current” state) is defined as interpolation_start + interpolation_duration (in ticks).
Every entity in family has the following fields:
- transformation: transformation applied to model (after normal entity orientation). Defaults to identity. Interpolated.
- billboard: option to control if entity should pivot to face player when rendered:
- fixed: No rotation (default).
- vertical Entity can pivot around vertical axis.
- horizontal Entity can pivot around horizontal axis.
- center Entity can pivot around center point.
- brightness: If present, overrides light values used for rendering. Omited by default (which means rendering uses values from entity position). Object has two fields:
- sky: Value of skylight, from 0 to 15.
- block: Value of block light, from 0 to 15.
- view_range: Maximum view range of this entity. Actual distance depends on client-side render distance and entity distance scalling. Default value 1.0 (roughly the same as fireball).
- shadow_radius: Size of shadow. Defaults to 0 (no shadow). Interpolated.
- shadow_strength: Strength of the shadow. Controls the opacity of the shadow as a function of distance to block below. Defaults to 1. Interpolated.
- width, height: Describe size of culling bounding box. Bounding box spans vertically y to y+height and horizontally width/2 in all directions from entity position. If either field is set to 0, culling is disabled. Both default to 0.
- glow_color_override: Override glow border color. Defaults to 0 (use team color).
Besides common fields, these entitiy types also have some exclusive fields for their different usages:
- Item Display (item_display): Displays a single item stack (stack can be changed with commands by setting slot inventory.0).
- item: Item stack to display. Same format as in inventory.
- Example: {id: “minecraft:dirt”, Count: 1}
- item_display: Describes item model transform applied to item (as defined in display section in model JSON)
- Values: none (default), thirdperson_lefthand, thirdperson_righthand, firstperson_lefthand, firstperson_righthand, head, gui, ground, fixed.
- Block Display (block_display): Displays a block state, does not display block entities, even if they would normally be created on block placement (like chest).
- block_state: Block state to display. Same format as item held by endermen.
- Example: {Name:”minecraft:dirt”}.
- Text Display (text_display): Displays a text component (backgrounds uses new shader types rendertype_text_background, and rendertype_text_background_see_through).
- text: Text to display. Components are resolved with the context of the display entity.
- line_width: Line width used to split lines (note: new line can be also addded with \n characters). Defaults to 200.
- text_opacity: Opacity (alpha component) of rendered text. Defaults to 255. Interpolated.
- background: Color of background. Includes alpha channel. Defaults to 0x40000000. Interpolated.
- default_background: If true, rendering uses default text background color (same as in chat). Defaults to false.
- shadow: Should text be displayed with shadow. Defaults to false.
- see_through: Should text be visible through blocks. Defaults to false.
- alignment: How text should be aligned.
- Values: center (default), left, right.

Interaction

A new type of entity that records attacks and interactions. Interactions (interaction) are invisible and of a custom size, with following fields:
width: Width of the entity’s bounding box (default 1).
height: Height of the entity’s bounding box (default 1).
attack: An action object, records the last attack action on the entity.
interaction: An action object, records the last interaction action on the entity.
response: Boolean specifying if interacting should trigger a response (arm swing, sound effects, etc – default false).
Introduced action object accordingly. When an action is stored, it always has two fields:
player: The UUID (in standard integer array format) of the player performing the action.
timestamp: The timestamp of the game tick when the event happened (stored as a long).
This made following command usage possible:
Execute command as the last player who attacked the entity when using /execute on attacker.
Execute command as the last player who interacted with the entity when using /execute on target.
Advancement triggers also got triggered, when:
Interacting with an interaction entity: player_interacted_with_entity.
Attacking an interaction entity: player_hurt_entity.

The game will no longer try to adapt packs with those versions to the current version.
To improve loading performance, block and item textures are now loaded before they are processed by block and item models.
By default, textures not in the textures/item and textures/block directories will no longer be automatically recognized and will fail to load.
Can have configuration files now, located in the new atlases directory, that control which images are included in the atlases. That directory contains following JSON entries for configuring atlases:
blocks: textures used by block and item models.
banner_patterns, beds, chests, shield_patterns, shulker_boxes, signs: used to render some special-case models.
mob_effects: textures used for effect icons in the UI.
paintings: textures used for paintings.
particles: textures used for particles (referenced by the textures field in files within the particles directory).
If multiple packs include those files, they are merged by their order within the pack (same as tags in data packs).
Inside these files is a JSON object with a single list called sources.
Every entry in sources runs in during load, in order of definition, adding or removing new files to the texture list; to be later referenced by block models, particles, etc.
Types of sources:
directory: lists all files in a directory and its subdirectories, across all namespaces.
source: directory in pack to be listed (relative to textures directory)
prefix: string to be appended to the sprite name when loaded.
single: adds a single file.
resource: location of a resource within the pack (relative to textures directory, implied .png extension).
sprite: sprite name (optional, defaults to resource).
filter: removes sprites matching the given pattern.
namespace, path: patterns (regular expressions, regex) of ids to be removed (only works for entries already in the list), if omitted, any value will be matched.
unstitch: copies rectangular regions from other images.
resource: location of a resource within the pack (relative to textures directory, implied .png extension)
divisor_x, divisor_y: used for determining the units used by regions.
regions: list of regions to copy from the source image.
sprite: sprite name.
x, y: coordinates of the top-left corner of the region.
width, height: size of the region.
Values such as x are transformed to real image coordinates via dividing by their divisor, and then multiplying by the real image size.
Example:
If a pack has a file named assets/test/textures/fancy/iridium.png and source is {“type”: “directory”, “source”: “fancy”, “prefix”: “custom/”}, the texture will be available in models as test:custom/iridium.

Sounds

Various wood types now have unique sounds when placed, broken, or walked on.
There are three sets of unique sounds: Overworld wood types, Nether wood types, and bamboo.
Step sounds can now be heard when walking on carpets, lily pads and small amethyst buds.
Step sounds can now be heard when walking through crimson roots, glow lichen, nether sprouts and warped roots.

Tags

Removed #non_flammable_wood block tag.
Removed #overworld_natural_logs item tag.
Added crimson roots, glow lichen, lily pad, moss carpet, nether sprouts, small amethyst bud, warped roots and #wool_carpets to the #inside_step_sound_blocks block tag.

Telemetry

Added WorldUnloaded event, and removed client Java version from the WorldLoaded event.
- They are required events.
- Data includes game mode, client or server modded status and game version.
- Can be used to calculate how long the world session has lasted (in seconds and ticks).
- Data from WorldLoaded is sent when a world is launched, and data from WorldUnloaded is sent when a world is shut down (quitting to title, disconnecting from a server).
Added 2 new optional events:
- PerformanceMetrics
- Data includes frame rates, rendering performance, memory usage, operating system, and the modded status of the client and server.
- With game version, it can be used to compare the performance profile for new versions of Minecraft.
- WorldLoadTimes
- Data includes the total time in milliseconds for the world to load, whether this was a new world, as well as game version and platform details.
- Can indicate what impacts load times when added new features or do larger technical changes.

User interface

When tabbing through buttons, tooltips are displayed above or below them.
Tooltips displayed when hovering are displayed next to the cursor.
Tooltips from focused buttons (focused by pressing tab) take priority over tooltips from hovered buttons.
Updated knowledge book textures on crafting UI and tutorial hints to the revision updated in the texture update.

General

Migrated linear algebra types to Java OpenGL Math Library (JOML).
Translation files and pack.mcmeta are now including non-ASCII characters (encoded as UTF-8) directly instead of using escape sequences.
Optimized some exceptionally slow cases of structure lookup.

Experimental Additions
Blocks
Bamboo Mosaics

A plank variant exclusive to the bamboo wood set.
Can be crafted with 2 bamboo slabs arranged in a vertical strip.
The bamboo mosaic has its own stair and slab variant.

Block of Bamboo and Block of Stripped Bamboo

Two new log-like blocks.
Block of bamboo can be crafted from 9 bamboo and can be stripped like other wood logs.
Bamboo planks crafted from block of bamboo yield only 2 planks compared to 4 for wood logs.

Buttons, Doors, Fences, Fence Gates, Planks, Pressure Plate, Signs, Slabs, Stairs, and Trapdoors

Added their bamboo variants.
Bamboo planks can be crafted using 1 block of bamboo (stripped or unstripped) to craft 2 bamboo planks.

Chiseled Bookshelves

Can be crafted with 6 planks and 3 wooden slabs.
Can store up to 6 books, books and quills, written books, and enchanted books.
Books in chiseled bookshelves can be added or removed from any slot by targeting the specific slot.
Books are directly added and removed, so there is no interface.
Can interact with redstone comparators (giving a signal strength matching that of the slot that was last interacted with).
Do not increase the power of enchanting tables.
Require a Silk Touch axe to mine.

Hanging Signs

A more expensive version of normal signs, which can be crafted with 2 chains and 6 stripped logs, resulting 6 of them.
Has a total of 10 wood variants: oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, crimson, warped, and bamboo.
Can be hung up in the following ways:
Underneath a block that can provide support in the center, like a full block or a fence.
When the hanging sign is placed underneath a full block, the chains will be on parallel sides of the sign. Signs in this configuration can be placed in 4 cardinal directions (North, South, East, West)
When the hanging sign is placed underneath a non-full block, such as a fence, or when placed while sneaking, the chains will take on an upside-down v-shape. Signs in this configuration can be placed in 16 different angles.
Attached to the solid side of a block.
Attached to the side or underneath another hanging sign.
Cannot be placed directly on the ground without support from the side or above.
However, hanging signs that have a horizontal bar will not pop when the supporting block is removed.
If it is hanging off the side of a block and that block is broken, it will remain hanging in the air. But if it is hanging underneath of a block and that block is broken, it will also break immediately.
Unlike regular signs, the space available for text is much smaller.
Text can be dyed and tinted with glow ink sacs to make text glow.

Piglin Head

Piglins will now drop their heads when killed by a charged creeper.
The piglin head will flap its ears when powered by redstone, or when worn by a player while walking.

Items

Bundle
- Moved behind its own feature toggle.
Spawn Eggs
- Camel Spawn Egg JE2 BE2.png Camel spawn egg.

Mobs

Camels
- A rideable entity, which can be equipped with a saddle and ridden by two players.
- Have 32♥ × 16 health points.
- Spawn naturally in desert villages.
- Can be bred with cactus, and will follow players holding a cactus on hand.
- Mobs that are 2 blocks tall and lower cannot reach the player (except spiders) when the player is riding it, due to its height.
- Can walk over 1.5 block tall obstacles (such as fences and blocks with a slab on top).
- Will randomly sit down.
- While sitting, it is difficult to convince them to move.
- Can either walk slowly or sprint quickly.
- Can also dash forward (if the player uses the jump key while riding it) but will lose stamina for a while.
- When it loses stamina, it cannot sprint or dash again for a few seconds.
- A dash can extend more than 10 blocks when executed perfectly.

Non-mob entities

Boats and Boat with Chests
- Added bamboo raft and bamboo raft with chest.
- Can be crafted with bamboo planks instead.
- They function the same as ordinary boats, but have a unique look to them.

Blocks

Note Block
- When placing a mob head on a note block, that note block will now play one of the ambient sounds of that mob when played by a player or powered by redstone.
Player Head
- Now can contain a note_block_sound NBT tag.
- Must be a resource location for a valid sound event.
- When present, this determines the sound a note block makes when the head is placed on top of it.

Gameplay

Advancement
- Camels are now required for the “Two by Two” advancement.
- “Glow and Behold!” advancement can be obtained by using a glow ink sac on a hanging sign now.

  - minecraft.WorldLoadFinishedEvent: Initial world loading duration
- The profiling can be stopped in-game by using /jfr stop.
- If it is started from an external source, the JFR events for network packets are aggregated instead of one event per packet.

- Debug screen
  - Added three new lines: Multinoise, biome builder, and terrain.
    - Only appear if the dimension where the player is uses the multi-noise biome source type.

      - Continentalness goes up as you go more inland. In areas with low continentalness values, oceans may generate.
      - Erosion determines how flat or mountainous terrain is. Higher values result in flatter areas, lower values result in mountainous areas.
      - Temperature and humidity have no impact on the terrain itself, and only determine biome placement.
      - Weirdness indirectly drives the PV (peaks and valleys) noise and determines which biome variant gets placed.
    - Terrain lists values related to terrain generation.
