Minecraft Java Edition - 26.3 Snapshot 5

Happy Snapshot day! Today we are shipping the 5th snapshot of 26.3 with a fresh batch of updates and improvements.

Happy mining!

Technical Changes

  • The Data Pack version is now 112.0
  • The Resource Pack version is now 92.0

Data Pack Version 112.0

  • Codec for element lists/tags now allows mixing inline values and references
    • For example, item modifiers like [{type:set_count, ...}, "minecraft:some_modifier"] are now allowed

World Generation

Features

Changed minecraft:sculk_patch
  • Removed extra_rare_growths and catalyst_chance fields

Resource Pack Version 92.0

Shaders & Post-process Effects

Order-independent Transparency (OIT)-related Shader Changes

  • The B3D_IS_ZERO_TO_ONE define has been renamed to RENDERPEARL_IS_ZERO_TO_ONE

Shader Compilation Changes

  • Shaders are now compiled by ShaderC when using OpenGL as well, identically to when using Vulkan
  • Shader includes are now handled by ShaderC using #include instead of #moj_import
  • Shader inputs and outputs must have a location specified in shader source
    • Vertex input names must still match expected names.
    • Vertex outputs are matched to fragment inputs solely by location, name is now ignored.
  • Introduced new define RENDERPEARL_INSTANCE_INDEX_INCLUDES_BASE_INSTANCE - A boolean indicating if gl_InstanceIndex follows Vulkan or OpenGL (gl_InstanceID) semantics

Developer's Note: Vertex inputs in previous versions using OpenGL were not allowed to specify a location. Compatability can be preserved by only specifying locations when the "VULKAN" macro is defined.

Developer's Note: Vertex outputs and fragment inputs in previous versions were matched based on name alone. Compatability can be preserved by continuing to use identical names.
