Minecraft Java Edition - Snapshot 25w46a

Is it Tuesday already? Must be, because the lights are on in the snapshot shipping room!

With today's release we're putting some additional polish on the upcoming features for our Mounts of Mayhem game drop, and changing the order of spawn eggs in the creative inventory for some better thematic flair. On the technical side, resource pack creators now have more freedom when creating their block models. For the full list of changes, browse the changelog below!

Happy mining!

Changes

  • Nautiluses and Zombie Nautiluses now play a dash sound when they perform their dash attack

Items

  • Spears no longer cause item interact vibrations
  • Spawn Eggs are now sorted thematically in the Creative Inventory, according to the following categories:
    • Overworld

      • Wild Animals

    • Added a third state to the "Music Toast" option, allowing it to only be shown in the pause menu
  • Added splash text "One does not simply walk to the Far Lands"

Developer’s Note: This statement was proven false on October 4, 2025

Technical Changes

  • The Data Pack version is now 93.1
  • The Resource Pack version is now 74.0

Data Pack Version 93.1

Item Components

Default Item Components

Added food properties to the following fish bucket items:

  • minecraft:cod_bucket
  • minecraft:salmon_bucket
  • minecraft:pufferfish_bucket
  • minecraft:tropical_fish_bucket

minecraft:use_effects

Added field interact_vibrations: boolean, whether using this item emits minecraft:item_interact_start and minecraft:item_interact_finish game events - Default value: true

Loot Tables

Reverted removal of contents as a supported value for the minecraft:dynamic loot pool entry

Developer's Note: Support for this value was removed in a previous snapshot with the introduction of slot sources, which replace its functionality. Community response however indicated that certain use cases aren't yet fully covered by slot sources, so we are reverting this removal until proper alternatives are ready.

Resource Pack Version 74.0

  • Textures used for still water and lava are now hardcoded to minecraft:block/water_still and minecraft:block/lava_still
  • To prepare for future work, the game will now print a warning if any defined sprites in any atlases share a name
  • Block model and state format has been expanded to allow more rotations

Textures

  • Beacons no longer support translucent textures
  • Added gui/container/nautilus used for the Nautilus inventory UI

UI Sprites

  • Added container/slot/nautilus_armor_inventory - Nautilus icon used in Nautilus inventory UI

Sound Events

  • Added entity.zombie_horse.eat

Block Models

  • Block model elements can now be rotated around multiple axes
    • Model is first rotated around X, then Y, then Z
    • New fields:
      • x - rotation around axis X in degrees, float, defaults to 0.0
      • y - rotation around axis Y in degrees, float, defaults to 0.0
      • z - rotation around axis Z in degrees, float, defaults to 0.0
    • Existing fields axis and angle can still be used
      • If both field sets are present, older notation takes presence
  • Existing restriction for angle value limiting them to [-45, 45] has been removed
    • Note: Names of faces are not influenced by rotation. Features that depend on them, like culling, will always use original directions

Block State Model Dispatch

  • Variants in block state dispatch files (defined in assets/.../blockstates/ can now be also rotated around Z axis
    • New optional field z has the same format as existing x and y fields: an integer with allowed values of 0 (default), 90, 180 and 270
    • Rotation around Z axis is applied after X and Y
