Minecraft Java Edition 26.1 – Minecraft Feedback

Ready or not, here comes the Tiny Takeover drop! New versions of baby mobs have stormed Minecraft, causing cuteness overload across biomes and builds. Listen out for heart-melting sounds, craft name tags for your pets, and keep babies forever young with the golden dandelion. The babies are officially on the loose, so get ready to collect, coo over, and create chaos with these tiny rascals!

New Features

Added new baby sounds for Wolf, Cat, Pig, Horse, and Chicken
Added Golden Dandelion
Added adult sound variants for the following animals:
- Cats have one new sound variant
- Pigs have two new sound variants
- Cows have one new sound variant
- Chickens have one new sound variant
- The original sounds of each animal are used for the variant called classic
- Every one of these animals will have a random sound variant assigned to it from the new variants and the original one
Added a trumpet instrument for when using a Note Block that is placed on a Copper Block
- The sound is different based on the oxidation level of the Copper Block

Golden Dandelion

The Golden Dandelion is a new type of flower that can be used to stop baby mobs from aging
- Interacting with a baby mob while holding a Golden Dandelion will stop the mob from aging
  - When aging is stopped, green particles moving downwards will be shown
- Interacting with a baby mob that has been stopped from aging while holding a Golden Dandelion will cause it to start aging again
  - When aging is started again, green particles moving upwards will be shown
- It cannot be used on undead baby mobs and baby Villagers
Can be crafted using a Dandelion and Gold Nuggets

Trades

The trades that are unlocked by Villager professions are now generated using deterministic random sequences, like loot drops and barter loot
- Re-rolling a Villager's trades still produces a randomized sequence of trades, but that sequence is now determined by the world seed
Master Librarians no longer offer Name Tags
Master Librarians now offer Red Candles and Yellow Candles for the price of three Emeralds
Master Librarians now have three available trades to ensure that an Enchanted Book trade is always offered when using the Rebalance experiment

Lightmap Algorithm Changes

The new algorithm mostly provides the same overall results as before, but:
- It is simpler and more straightforward, and fixes multiple issues of the previous one, as listed in the Fixed Bugs section below
- The Darkness effect and world darkening effect of the Wither fight now work the same way in all dimensions
- The Night Vision effect now simply adds ambient light instead of scaling the resulting colors
  - This means that fully dark areas no longer look brighter than areas lit by block or sky light
- More aspects of the algorithm such as block light tint, ambient light color and night vision color are now data-driven through environment attributes, as described in the Data Pack section below

UI

Along with large changes to the world data format in this release, worlds that need to be upgraded will now show Upgrade and Play instead of Play Selected World and the Edit World and Re-Create World buttons are disabled until the world has been upgraded
- A new screen has been added to show upgrading progress
Changes were made to how the chat screen is handled when it's restricted by settings
Input Method Editor (IME) candidates will now be shown in-game (on supported platforms, currently Windows and macOS) above the currently edited text field
- The game will try to restore the last IME status when any text field is selected
- If no text input is selected, IME input will be canceled and the status will not be updated
Added a new display option called "Exclusive Fullscreen" which controls if fullscreen mode should take full control of a monitor
- Defaults to false (i.e. non-exclusive mode)
- Any change will be applied only after the game restarts
- Warning: exclusive fullscreen mode might prevent use of input methods (IME)

- looking_at_entity_tags
- sound_cache
Renamed debug entries:
- looking_at_block -> looking_at_block_state
- looking_at_fluid -> looking_at_fluid_state
A day_count debug entry has been split from local_difficulty
Added a new entry detailed_memory with additional information about used memory
A new lightmap debug renderer can be enabled using the F3 + 4 keybind

Lightmap Debug Renderer

A new debug renderer for the lightmap was added, which can be enabled using the F3 + 4 keybind
It is mutually exclusive with the FPS/TPS and networking charts
It shows the lightmap texture in real time in the bottom right corner of the screen
The vertical axis of the texture represents sky light levels (0-15 from bottom to top)
The horizontal axis of the texture represents block light levels (0-15 from left to right)
The color of each pixel represents the resulting color that will be applied to blocks and entities lit with the corresponding block and sky light levels

World Options

The difficulty button in the pause menu has been replaced with a button leading to a new screen - World Options
The World Options screen contains the difficulty button as well as a button for changing Game Rules
- The Game Rules screen is available for all operators and otherwise disabled

Game Rules

A search bar has been added to the top of the Game Rules screen, both in-game and in the world creation menu
- The search bar will select Game Rules based on id, name, category, and description

Chat

The chat screen can now always be opened, even when chatting is restricted by settings
- When the chat screen is open, specific actions and message types may still be restricted
- Information about the restrictions (if there are any) is displayed on top of the chat box and above the chat input when the chat screen is open
- The same information can also be accessed in the World Settings screen
Chat entries from client actions like taking screenshots will now be displayed even when messages from Players and servers are restricted
Changing chat settings will now hide all messages of restricted types and discard any new ones
The handling of chat messages on a published local server is now more consistent with dedicated servers in regard to chat settings

Creative Mode

Using Ctrl + Pick input as an operator on Players and Mannequins will now show the same results as executing the /fetchprofile command for this entity would

Default JVM Options

The game now allocates 4 GB of RAM by default (up from 2 GB)
Garbage collection has been changed from G1GC to ZGC for compatible devices

Developer's Note: The default memory allocation has been bumped from 2GB to 4GB to make the game run smoother and reduce stutters. Furthermore, with generational ZGC, you should see a more stable framerate – especially when operating memory heavy tasks. If you're running Minecraft on a machine with less than 4GB of RAM – please refer to this help article. If you want to change the garbage collector – please refer to this help article. Third-party launchers may not support these changes.

Data Pack Versions 95 through 101.1

Added data-driven World Clocks
Added data-driven registry for Villager trades
Added data-driven registry for sound variants for Pig, Cat, Cow, and Chicken
Changed the syntax of some custom recipe fields
Added new block, fluid, item, entity, enchantment, potion, and configured feature tags

World Clocks

World Clocks contain an internal time that increases every tick. They can be defined in data packs under the world_clock registry (found under data/<namespace>/world_clock/<id>.json)

World Clocks can be paused or resumed, and the time of the clock can be changed or queried from the time command
Format: object with no fields

Timelines

Added a clock field: a World Clock ID, specifies which World Clock the timeline is tied to
- This field is required, but to match previous behavior the minecraft:overworld clock can be used
Added an optional time_markers field, an optional map between namespaced Time Marker IDs and either an integer or a Time Marker object,
- Format:
  - Non-negative integer, the tick that the time marker marks
  - Or object with fields:
    - ticks - Integer between 0 and period_ticks, the tick that the Time Marker marks
    - show_in_commands - optional boolean, specifies whether the Time Marker will show up in command suggestions
      - Default: false

Time Markers

Time Markers assign a particular name to a specific (optionally repeating) point in time for a specific World Clock. Time Markers replace the previously predetermined names that could be used by /time set, for example day or night.

Time Markers will exist within the context of a specific World Clock. This means that even though the different Time Markers are defined by different Timelines, only one Time Marker can exist with a particular id for a particular World Clock. It also means that two World Clocks can have a Time Marker with the same name.

Built-in uses of Time Markers

Some Time Markers are used to drive Vanilla game behavior. Usually, they are configured to not show up in /time commands.

minecraft:wake_up_from_sleep - the time to advance the dimension's default clock to when Players in that dimension wake up after sleeping
minecraft:roll_village_siege - the time of the dimension's default clock at which the random chance for a Zombie Village siege to occur should be evaluated

Environment Attributes

Added minecraft:visual/block_light_tint

Tint of the block light. Block light color starts as dark gray at low light levels, becomes tinted by this attribute at medium levels, and turns white at high levels. By default, it provides the yellowish tint of torches. Bright colors work best for this attribute, with at least one color component being fully bright. The tint applies globally to all light sources visible on the screen. Individual lights cannot be tinted differently.

Value type: RGB color
Default value: #FFD88C
Modifiers: RGB Color Modifiers
Interpolated: yes
Resolved at the camera's position

Added minecraft:visual/ambient_light_color

Defines both the ambient light tint and brightness. This light is applied to the world at 0 light level. Block and sky light are added on top of it.

Value type: RGB color
Default values: #0A0A0A for the Overworld, #302821 for the Nether, #3f473f for the End
Modifiers: RGB Color Modifiers
Interpolated: yes
Resolved at the camera's position

Added minecraft:visual/night_vision_color

This color is used similarly to ambient light color. When the Night Vision effect is active, the per-component maximum of minecraft:visual/night_vision_color and minecraft:visual/ambient_light_color is used as the ambient color. Night Vision is not tinted by default.

Value type: RGB color
Default value: #999999
Modifiers: RGB Color Modifiers
Interpolated: yes
Resolved at the camera's position

Changed minecraft:gameplay/turtle_egg_hatch_chance

Now has a default value of 0.002

Data-driven Villager Trades

Trades offered by Villagers and Wandering Traders are now data-driven and can be customized by data pack developers

Villager Trades

Present in the villager_trade folder, represents a blueprint for trades which is used by Villagers and Wandering Traders to generate actual trades
Entry Format:
- wants - Object, represents an item type and number of them needed to trade
  - id - String, the id of the item
  - count - optional number provider, how many of the item is needed for the trade
    - Defaults to a constant 1
  - components - optional component map, the expected data components on the item
    - Defaults to an empty map
- additional_wants - optional object, an additional item required by the merchant, has the same format as wants
- gives - Item Stack, the resulting item given by the merchant when trading
  - Uses the existing format for Item Stacks
- given_item_modifiers - optional list of Item Modifiers, modifiers to apply to the item in gives such as enchantments or potions, used to add dynamism to the trade rather than hardcoding certain values
  - Uses the existing format for Item Modifiers (also known as loot modifiers, item functions, loot functions...)
  - If any of these returns an empty item the entire trade will be discarded
  - Item Modifier references are not yet supported
  - If the final item has a stored_enchantment component containing an enchantment in the #double_trade_price tag, then the count of wants is doubled
- max_uses - optional number provider, the maximum number of times a trade may be used
  - Is set to 1 if the number provider returns a lower value
  - Defaults to a constant 4
- reputation_discount - number provider, how much factors such as demand, discounts, or penalties affect the cost represented by wants
  - Is set to 0.0 if the number provider returns a lower value
  - Defaults to a constant 0.0
- xp - optional number provider, the amount of xp a merchant gets when the trade is done
  - Is set to 0 if the number provider returns a lower value
  - Defaults to a constant 1
- merchant_predicate - Predicate, conditions on the merchant that need to be met for the trade to be offered
  - Uses the existing format for Predicates (also known as loot conditions)
  - Predicate references are not yet supported
- double_trade_price_enchantments - optional enchantment id, list of namespaced enchantment IDs, or hash-prefixed enchantment tag representing enchantments that will double the additional cost from minecraft:enchant_randomly and minecraft:enchant_with_levels if they have include_additional_cost_component set to true and if the item has one of the provided values in its minecraft:stored_enchantments component

Trade Sets

Present in the trade_set folder, they're groupings of trades offered by Villagers and Wandering Traders
We currently only have hardcoded ones available in <profession>/level_<level> for Villagers, as well as wandering_trader/buying, wandering_trader/special, wandering_trader/common for Wandering Traders
Entry Format:
- trades - Villager trade id, list of namespaced Villager trade IDs, or hash-prefixed Villager trade tag representing the trades that are part of this trade set
- amount - Number provider, the amount of trades to be generated from this set when used
  - If the generated number is greater than the number of available trades then it will only generate until all trades have been used once, unless allow_duplicates is set to true
- allow_duplicates - Boolean, representing if the trade set can use the same Villager Trade multiple times to generate trades
  - Defaults to false
- random_sequence - optional named random sequence, determines which trades are generated
  - Defaults to a non-deterministic random sequence

An example trade set offering 2 trades from the #minecraft:armorer/level_1 tag, allowing duplicates

{
  "amount": 2.0,
  "trades": "#minecraft:armorer/level_1",
  "random_sequence": "minecraft:trade_set/armorer/level_1",
  "allow_duplicates": true
}

Mob Variants

Cat Sound Variants

Cat sound variants can be data-driven by adding entries to data/<namespace>/cat_sound_variant/<id>.json
The file contains two sound sets defining adult_sounds and baby_sounds
Each sound set contains the following fields which correspond to sound events used for the specific behavior:
- ambient_sound
- stray_ambient_sound
- hiss_sound
- hurt_sound
- death_sound
- eat_sound
- beg_for_food_sound
- purr_sound
- purreow_sound

Pig Sound Variants

Pig sound variants can be data-driven by adding entries to data/<namespace>/pig_sound_variant/<id>.json
The file contains two sound sets defining adult_sounds and baby_sounds
Each sound set contains the following fields which correspond to sound events used for the specific behavior:
- ambient_sound
- hurt_sound
- death_sound
- step_sound
- eat_sound

Cow Sound Variants

Cow sound variants can be data-driven by adding entries to data/<namespace>/cow_sound_variant/<id>.json
Each sound variant contains the following fields which correspond to sound events used for the specific behavior:
- ambient_sound
- hurt_sound
- death_sound
- step_sound

Chicken Sound Variants

Chicken sound variants can be data-driven by adding entries to data/<namespace>/chicken_sound_variant/<id>.json
The file contains two sound sets defining adult_sounds and baby_sounds
Each sound set contains the following fields which correspond to sound events used for the specific behavior:
- ambient_sound
- hurt_sound
- death_sound
- step_sound

Wolf Sound Variants

All sound event fields have been moved into a new object in the field adult_sounds
- Added a new baby_sounds field with the same fields

Commands

Villager and Piglin inventory slots can now only be accessed using mob.inventory.*
- villager.* and piglin.* have been removed

Added swing

New command that enables swinging of entities' arms
Not all entities support the swing animation - swing will still succeed for those entities, but clients will only display it when possible
For example, this makes it possible to swing Mannequins' arms
Returns the amount of entities for which a swing was sent

Syntax: /swing [<target>] [<hand>]

Arguments:

target - Entity selector, the entity to swing
- If not present, defaults to @s
hand - String, which hand to swing, one of mainhand, offhand
- If not present, defaults to mainhand

Changes to time

The time command is now based on World Clocks
- A clock can be optionally specified as an input for the time command with time of <clock> ...
- If the clock is not specified (/time ... as before), the default clock for the dimension is used
The return value (e.g. from /execute store) from the set and add subcommands is now the total elapsed ticks of the clock instead of the current time of day
A new rate subcommand has additionally been added that can modify the speed at which a World Clock advances

Syntax:

time [of <clock>] set <time> - sets the total elapsed ticks of the clock
time [of <clock>] set <timemarker> - advances the clock forward to the next occurence of the Time Marker
- For the minecraft:overworld clock, the available Time Markers are: day, noon, night, and midnight
time [of <clock>] add <time> - adds ticks to the clock, can be a negative or a positive number
time [of <clock>] pause - pauses the clock
time [of <clock>] resume - resumes the clock
time [of <clock>] rate <rate> - sets the rate multiplier at which the clock should advance
- Note: this only changes the rate at which the World Clock and any Timelines dependent on it advance their internal timers
  - For example, in the case of the minecraft:overworld clock, the day/night cycle will pass quicker with a larger value, but actual game simulation will not speed up (as would happen with /tick rate)
- A rate of 1 corresponds to normal speed
- rate is a float between 0 (exclusive) and 1000 (inclusive)
time [of <clock>] query <timeline> - displays and returns the current number of ticks within the Timeline's period
time [of <clock>] query <timeline> repetitions - displays and returns the number of times the Timeline's period has repeated
time [of <clock>] query time - displays and returns the total elapsed ticks of the clock
time query gametime - as before, the total elapsed ticks within the world (unaffected by changes made to clocks using /time)

Changes to /fetchprofile

Added a new entity subcommand that will print profile information from an entity in the world
- Syntax: /fetchprofile entity <single entity selector>
- If the targeted entity does not have a profile (currently only Players and Mannequins do), this command will fail
- Note that the profile is shown as is - no additional resolving is done

Game Test Environments

Added timeline_attributes definition

Allows setting any number of Timelines on the Environment

Format:

timelines - a list of timelines to set

Replaced time_of_day with clock_time

Added a new required field clock - World Clock ID, the clock within which to set time (from the existing time field)

Data Components

Added minecraft:additional_trade_cost

Transient component used to modify the count needed of the gives item in a Villager trade
Is removed after a trade has been generated
Format: integer

Added minecraft:dye

Represents a color of dye
Used in various places that previously required the exact dye item, including mob and block interactions
- Note: the presence of this component itself does not enable functionality. The item has to be explicitly allowed for the given functionality, for example by adding it to tags or changing recipe ingredients
Format: one of white, orange, magenta, light_blue, yellow, lime, pink, gray, light_gray, cyan, purple, blue, brown, green, red, black

Changed minecraft:provides_banner_patterns

The component now also accepts an ID or a list of IDs in addition to a tag

Changed minecraft:blocks_attacks

The field bypassed_by now also accepts an ID or a list of IDs in addition to a tag

Changed minecraft:damage_resistant

The field types now also accepts an ID or a list of IDs in addition to a tag

Entity Data

The current_explosion_impact_pos and current_impulse_context_reset_grace_time fields from Players have been added to all mobs and the Armor Stand
The ignore_fall_damage_from_current_explosion field on Players has been removed

Block States

rotation property in the default block state of Banners and Signs has been changed from 0 to 8

Developer's Note: The default block state is used in very few contexts, most notably /setblock without any properties. This change was done to align the default orientation of those blocks with other ones (like Skulls or Dispensers)

Loot Functions

First, a new item stack is created with the item type and count taken from the result field of the described recipe
Then, components from a source stack (the actual ingredient depends on the described recipe) are applied to the new stack
Lastly, components from the result field are applied to the new stack

Enchantments

The post_piercing_attack component no longer only works for a Player if that Player has a certain food level

World Generation

Rule-based block state providers (used previously only in the disk feature) have changed
- The fallback field is now optional and can be empty
  - In such cases that an empty fallback is invoked, features that use them will not place anything
- Has become a type of block state provider called rule_based_state_provider instead of a separate unique type
  - They can now be used in any other feature configurations as a block state provider and are no longer unique to disk
  - Format:
    - fallback - optional block state provider
    - rules - list of rules
      - if_true - Block predicate, checks the block position before providing the block
      - then - Block state provider
forest_rock feature has been renamed to block_blob
block_blob feature configuration has changed to support the following parameters:
- state - Block state, the block the blob is made out of
- can_place_on - Block predicate, defines which blocks the blob can be placed on

alter_ground tree decorator configuration has changed so that provider is now a rule-based block state provider

tree feature configuration has replaced the force_dirt and dirt_provider parameters with a single below_trunk_provider block state provider

Default value:

"below_trunk_provider": {
    "type": "minecraft:rule_based_state_provider",
    "rules": [
        {
            "if_true": {
                "type": "minecraft:not",
                "predicate": {
                    "type": "minecraft:matching_block_tag",
                    "tag": "minecraft:cannot_replace_below_tree_trunk"
                }
            },
            "then": {
                "type": "minecraft:simple_state_provider",
                "state": {
                    "Name": "minecraft:dirt"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Any trees that previously used force_dirt have a below_trunk_provider that always provides a dirt block instead

Flower Features

Features spawned from Bone Meal are no longer restricted to the flower feature type, and instead controlled by the #can_spawn_from_bone_meal Configured Feature Tag
The flower, flower_no_bonemeal, and random_patch feature types have been removed
- Instead, patches can be expressed as a sequence of count and random_offset placement modifiers

Placement Modifiers

count Placement Modifier

The count field is now limited to a range of 0 to 4096 instead of the previous 256

Dimension Types

Added fields:
- default_clock - optional World Clock ID
  - Specifies the default clock that will be used for the time command.
    - If not specified, the time command will require an explicit clock argument
  - Also specifies the clock to which the minecraft:wake_up_from_sleep and minecraft:roll_village_siege Time Markers apply
    - If not specified, those Time Markers will never apply in that dimension
- has_ender_dragon_fight - Boolean
  - Controls whether it is possible for an Ender Dragon fight to exist in the dimension

Int Providers

max - Integer, the maximum value to generate
plateau - Integer, the width of the "plateau" of the distribution in which all values are equally likely to occur
- A value of 0 is equivalent to a triangle distribution

Particles

Added pause_mob_growth - particles showing on a baby mob which has had its aging stopped using a Golden Dandelion
Added reset_mob_growth - particles showing on a baby mob which has had its aging reset and started using a Golden Dandelion

Text components

The selector field no longer accepts trailing data after a selector

minecraft:nbt

Tags resolved with the minecraft:nbt text component when the interpret field is set to false are now pretty-printed instead of being flattened into a single text component
Contents of the nbt and block fields are no longer silently rejected when parsing fails
The entity field no longer accepts trailing data after a selector
A new option called plain has been added to remove styling from pretty-printed text
- The plain and interpret options can't both be enabled at the same time

minecraft:object

Added a new optional field named fallback that contains a text component to be used when the object component itself can't be displayed (for example when printing messages in server logs or during narration)
Objects of type player (player heads) can no longer be used in server status messages (MotD)
- All components of that type will be replaced by a fallback text
- Components nested more than 16 times will be discarded and replaced with an ellipsis

Resource Pack Versions 75 through 84

The Tripwire texture is now rendered as alpha cutout instead of transparent
The glow particles emitted by Glow Squids, Lightning Rods, blocks being waxed, unwaxed, and scraped are now rendered as opaque, since they never actually used translucency
Removed demo_background.png in favor of the popup/background.png sprite
The item model format now supports transformation for individual sub-models

Block State Rendering

Some changes have been made to the way block states render in places like Enderman-held blocks, Block Display entities, etc. (but not falling blocks or Pistons)
- The Enchanting Table will now show a closed book on the top of the block
- Blocks that use special renderers (like Chests, Banners, Skulls) should now respect block state properties:
  - Rendering now respects the rotation and facing properties (where applicable)
  - Beds now only render one half of the model, depending on the part property
  - Copper Golem Statues will now respect the copper_golem_pose property
  - Walls and freestanding Signs, Hanging Signs, Banners, and Skulls/Heads will now have separate models
  - Chests now respect part properties (where applicable)
- Note: in general, all block states should look the same when rendered on a Block Display as they look when placed in world, except fluids

Block Model Format

Any block model can now support cutout or translucent (partially transparent pixels) textures
- Whether a quad is rendered in the cutout or translucent render pass is determined by the contents of its assigned sprite
  - Any sprite with translucent (partially transparent) pixels will be assigned to the "translucent" pass
  - Any sprite with fully transparent pixels will be assigned to the "cutout" pass
  - All other sprites are assigned to the "solid" pass
- Note: the assigned render pass also implies rendering order: all solid geometry is rendered before all cutout geometry, which is rendered before all translucent geometry
The format of the textures map has been updated:
- Non-string entries will now be rejected, instead of interpreted as strings
- Alongside the previous inline sprite ID form, entries can now be defined as an object with fields:
  - sprite - the sprite ID
  - force_translucent - optional boolean, true if any geometry with this texture should be forced into the "translucent" pass
    - This is useful for example for blocks that don't have any translucent pixels, but use the mean mipmap strategy
    - Default: false

Item Models

The minecraft:model, minecraft:special, minecraft:range_dispatch, minecraft:composite, minecraft:select, minecraft:condition item model types now have a transformation field
- That field has the same format as the transformation field on the minecraft:display entity, i.e. either an array of 16 numbers representing a matrix or a structure with decomposed translation, scale, and rotation info
- For types with children (minecraft:range_dispatch, minecraft:composite, minecraft:select, minecraft:condition), the transformation will be composed with the transformation of the children, except for minecraft:bundle/selected_item
- Model transformations will be applied AFTER item display transformations (i.e. the display section in model files)
The transformations for some special item models (types referenced by the minecraft:special item model) have been extracted to item models itself
- Affected special model types:
  - minecraft:bed
  - minecraft:banner
  - minecraft:conduit
  - minecraft:copper_golem_statue
  - minecraft:head
  - minecraft:player_head
  - minecraft:shulker_box

Shaders & Post-process Effects

Developer's Note: Although it is possible in Resource Packs, overriding Core Shaders is considered as unsupported and not an intended Resource Pack feature. These shaders exist as part of the internal implementation of the game, and as such, may change at any time as the game's internals evolve. We understand that overriding Core Shaders is used for very cool Resource Pack features, many of which lack supported alternatives. We would like to provide better, supported alternatives in the future.

The core/rendertype_item_entity_translucent_cull shaders have been removed in favor of core/entity
The core/rendertype_entity_alpha and core/rendertype_entity_decal shaders have been replaced by a DISSOLVE flag implemented by core/entity
Rendering of items (in UI and in the world) has been split from the core/entity into new core/item shaders
The block.vsh and terrain.vsh shaders no longer receive the Normal vertex attribute
The core/rendertype_translucent_moving_block shaders have been removed in favor of core/block

Lightmap Shader

The lightmap.fsh shader was significantly modified
- The LightmapInfo uniform now has two new fields:
  - BlockLightTint
  - NightVisionColor
- The AmbientLightFactor field was removed, its value is now premultiplied into AmbientColor
- The DarkenWorldFactor was renamed to BossOverlayWorldDarkeningFactor
Text and items rendered in UI now use a separate 1x1 white lightmap texture, so the lightmap shader does not always have to keep the 15, 15 pixel purely white
