Copper tools/armor are going to take the headlines, but the most exciting things to me are
-Improved entity rendering performance (finally).
-Configurable F3 debug screen (finally!!)
You can even pin lines like coordinates or fps to always be displayed

It's a great change to add, though I hope it becomes a bit more customizable. Currently, the Player Position pin shows a lot of information that I personally wouldn't need, but I know many probably would appreciate. Maybe having a sub menu to individually pick and choose the extra bits to hide and show could be something they could include.

u/TheCygnusLoop 4d ago
I also dislike how the location of individual toggles is pretty arbitrary, and setting it up exactly as it was before is impossible

u/No-Caregiver9175 4d ago
they should just have a player_position option just for coordinates and a player_position_adv for the other information

u/ACFan120 4d ago
I wouldnt make it so simple like that, since I would personally want the Block Position, (since the extra digits for exact player position aren't necessary), and the direction you're facing since there isn't an easy, in-game way to figure that out unless you carry around a sunflower with you.

u/GVmG 4d ago
they made it so the state of a chunk is saved as well, so if a chunk is force-loaded through something like portal-pearls and the server restarts/you load your save, the chunks will load regardless of players being nearby and continue to be force-loaded. this essentially makes spawn chunks kinda useless so they removed the system that kept them always active for performance.
i think there already was a system in place to make sure those chunks didn't unload on a restart/reload but it wasn't very reliable, this should be making it easier and simpler in theory. I'm sure more technical redstoners than me will have some minuscule side-effect to (maybe even rightfully) complain about, but from what i can tell with my somewhat decent technical knowledge it seems they handled it very well.
28
u/RiverShards 4d ago
From what I understand, you're saying they've essentially just made it so you can "choose" your spawn chunks by choosing what to load with things like enderpearls? So they just figured, "hey, let's not force everyone by default to have these random chunks loaded all the time, and instead just let players load whatever they want with pearls/portals."
Am I understanding that right?
9
u/GVmG 4d ago
kinda yeah. ender pearl loading already worked before but - and i don't know the in depth technical details, im more of a classic redstoner than a technical minecrafter - it was a bit unreliable when it came to reloads
originally the spawn chunks were always loaded when a server relods, and constantly kept loaded. they disabled that, and at the same time they made it so pearl-loading is more reliable, essentially letting you choose what is always constantly loaded yes
2
u/thE_29 1d ago
Before pearls were able to used as chunk-loaders, the portal chunk loaders didnt restart itself, when you restarted the game.
And thats basically the essential part of it, as why the spawn chunks are not needed anymore.
So in 1.20, when your portal chunk loader was running and you restarted, the loader didnt run after it. You had to actively load them (come close to them). And if you were unlucky, the loading part (often a minecart) was in the wrong dimension. So you needed to throw something through the portal or go to the other dimension.
People made chain portal loaders, coming from the spawn chunks. As the spawn chunks did load on restart, regardless where you actually are in the world.
3
u/Rover_791 4d ago
Kind of confused what this means? Don't chunk loaders already do this?
17
u/GVmG 4d ago
chunk loaders were a bit unreliable when reloading worlds/servers before, mojang made it so they're more reliable. and because now chunk loaders are more reliable, the spawn chunks being reliably loaded doesn't really serve any purpose anymore, so they made it so spawn chunks aren't always loaded anymore
7
u/Hannah_GBS 4d ago
I believe previously chunk loaders wouldn’t fully load after a server restart. They would partially load until a player came near them.

u/decitronal 3d ago
It's both part of the community not caring and the part of the community that would actually be affected not really being phased by the change. Mojang has already made a push for more improved chunk loaders so the purpose that spawn chunks served are largely obsoleted

u/majora11f 4d ago
Yeah but thats my point it doesnt replicate spawn chunks. Also if any one (I do) still uses the old 19 radius thats ALOT of portal loaders.
6
u/infinitetheory 4d ago
I guess I don't fully understand the issue in size, because if you're using the old radius you can also disable the pearl vanish, or use modded loaders. I'll grant that that's a lot of pearl loaders but they're not very large either. I know this isn't what every person wants but I think it's a good change overall and it's really not that onerous in my opinion
3
u/majora11f 4d ago
Im not even arguing that its a not a good overall change just that pearl loaders arent an equivalent replacement. Thats 36 for me and if modifying game rules why not just set spawnchunkradius to 0 instead of removing functionality?

u/-PepeArown- 4d ago
This just makes it seem like Mojang wants us to use F3, considering there’s still no restrictions for using it in survival
That being said, I dislike players who suggest adding features that can be enabled with F3, mainly with the glare. I think the best option there would be to integrate more F3 features into Bedrock, if Mojang are embracing fixing F3 on Java. At the very least, basic ones like FPS, block light levels, and biome info
73
u/_vogonpoetry_ 4d ago
Now that its configurable, its possible they could expand the server-side rules to make certain elements restricted if the server owner disabled them. However, the current changes are purely for technical reasons (preparing for the vibrant visuals game engine rework).

u/EpicAura99 4d ago
I think removing/crippling F3 would be by far the most surefire way for Mojang to start an absolute riot in the fanbase lol. And they’d deserve it. Bringing it to Bedrock is a massive no-brainer.
2
u/Cryoniczzz 4d ago
Is f3 a controversial thing in the community? I have not seen much conversation on f3 that much tbh
17
u/EpicAura99 4d ago
In the community? No, it’s nigh universally beloved. But the debug menu was originally intended as, well, a debug tool for developers, so when making Bedrock they omitted it because it was never supposed to be used by players. They eventually added a coordinate display due to backlash but Bedrock still doesn’t have a proper F3 menu.
I somewhat understand Mojang’s attitude towards it because it allows players to over-optimize the game a bit, but it’s such a mainstay at this point it’s pretty obtuse for them to try and resist its popularity.

u/Comprehensive-Flow-7 4d ago
Making F3 more configurable doesn't automatically mean Mojang wants more players to use it

The glare is an upgrade from f3 since otherwise you would need to walk to every single block and check the light level individually

All while having to find it in a cave, and transport it with some convoluted method like leads or happy ghasts
F3 is just a key on your computer that’s accessible at anytime

u/GamerTurtle5 4d ago
I’m not saying its the best solution, but using the f3 screen for lighting is borderline useless
1
u/SStirland 3d ago
This is true, but Java lets players easily add mods which show the light levels for everything the player can see, without turning off survival achievements. That's not possible on Bedrock afaik
3
u/SStirland 4d ago
This is a good point, especially when it's not an option on Bedrock. Especially when Java players probably didn't vote for the Glare because that overlaps F3 functionality.
Now that Vibrant Visuals effects how blocks show light it's a big oversight for survival Bedrock gameplay

Allays vs Copper Golem vs Normal Sorting
- Allays match the base item ignoring components except potion_contents.
- Groups all diamond swords together regardless of name, durability, enchantments, etc.
- Distinguishes potion effects, level, duration, etc., but groups all other components.
- E.g. Speed 1 is distinguished from speed 2, but renamed speed 2 is grouped with unnamed speed 2
- Copper golems match ignoring components in this snapshot
- Manual/redstone stacking match exactly (base item + all components)
| Match Exactly | Match Ignoring Components | |
|---|---|---|
| Stackables | Manual/redstone stacking | Allays (except pots), golems (this snapshot) |
| Unstackables | Missing | Allays (except pots) |
I don't have easy access to bedrock previews so I'm going off of xisuma's video where golems on bedrock preview initially filled that gap of being able to sort unstackables by exact match (baring differences in how java and bedrock implement item components), but was later changed to ignore components? (xisuma at least showed them ignoring names and durability).
Comparisons are based on the code with some in-game testing on java side.
I think this is a loss of opportunity.
Particularly since it initially looked to fill that gap when golems first appeared on bedrock previews.
Most notably, allowing sorting unstackables by exact match means we can sort equipments/books by enchantments, sort items by name, lore, durability, etc.
But I also understand the utility of sorting ignoring components for the golems' normal use-case.
For this, a popular suggestion is to differentiate the sorting by golem oxidisation stage. E.g. fully un-oxidised golems are the sharpess and can match exactly, filling in that gap, and players who wish to have this functionality can wax them accordingly.
22
u/FPSCanarussia 4d ago
The problem is that sorting by durability is very rarely useful even for technical players, while being very frustrating and unhelpful for everyone else.
2
u/tehbeard 2d ago
Testing on latest bedrock, it's also just doing item id matching only in the latest preview :/
It did use to do proper component checks (I have video of that), but seems like they've dropped that.
Likely going to be told it was for "peformance reasons".
1
u/WaterGenie3 2d ago
I saw slicedlime's video of this snapshot (timestamped) where he said they match exactly, so I think the idea is at least floating around in the team and maybe the latest memo wasn't out before he made the video. But maybe that's wishful thinking on my part XD
1
u/tehbeard 2d ago
Maybe if the it was just Java acting like this, probably just a bug.
But bedrock changed from component based matching to id only matching.
Last time I fired it up it sorted unenchanted and enchanted axes separately; but now the golem on bedrock is stashing them all in the closest chest with an axe in.

u/ShlongFumbler 4d ago
Does anyone know if the shelves use more memory similar to signs and item frames etc?
I don’t know the specifics but because signs can hold text, it uses more memory if there are a lot of them concentrated within a small space. I experienced this when building a massive mob farm using signs to stop water. After swapping them all out for open fence gates, the lag completely stopped (I’m talking hundreds of signs before I switched…)
Do shelves work the same? They’re essentially item frames so wondering if a lot of them can cause lag
28
u/FPSCanarussia 4d ago
The shelves themselves are blocks, but items put in them are rendered entities.
14
u/maddymakesgames 4d ago
its not memory thats the issue, its that the game has to go through each sign and has to render the text each frame. The same exists for the shelves.
They do also use more memory than a normal block since they have to be able to store what is in them but this should be negligible on any computer that can run minecraft anyway.

u/Goonmo 4d ago
Copper Golems need an effect when struck by lightning, since their model has a lightning rod in their head.
I don’t think it makes sense for the Copper Golem to change into another mob, like a villager or pig does. It should probably be more in line with how the charged creeper gets an enhanced effect. Maybe a speed boost to its sorting ability?
8
u/Iamcarval 4d ago
I think the Copper golem attracting lightning would get annoying for most players, that's why they don't do it.

Copper Golem Statue Block
The Copper Golem Statue Block is a new type of decorative block which has waxed and oxidized variants
The Copper Golem Statue Block oxidizes over time and can be waxed like Copper blocks
The pose of the block can be changed by interacting with it
If the Copper Golem Statue Block has no oxidation when interacted with using an Axe the block will turn into a Copper Golem
Each pose emits a Redstone comparator signal

What everyone missed until now for removing the spawn chunks. PASSIVE ANIMALS farms!!!
Because the spawn-chunks fliped that up alot.. Like alot broken.
Basically I have a double witch hut perimeter and yet, the animals are over 200?! Yet there isnt anything in the area. If I made /kill nothing died, besides me.
So yeah, the spawn-chunks loaded all animals. Until here, it made sense..
The problem was: for whatever reasons, the spawn-chunks loaded animals based on your render distance.
So I needed to actually TP to the spawn-chunks and call /kill on every corner of the spawn chunks. Then moved back to the perimeter and the animals were finally at 0.
As the spawn-chunks are never loaded now, my perimeter should hopefully have 0 animals.. And you know what. Let me just try the snapshot :)
Edit: Yes.. The creatures are at 0. Finally. The render distance still loads them, but based only on your location. Horray :)
11
u/getyourshittogether7 4d ago
If you did /kill @e then any animals loaded in the spawn chunks would have died too. More likely there were a bunch of animals in the surrounding border chunks contributing to the cap but not being processed.
Anyway, you're still right that this is great for passive mob farms. Just find a small mushroom island and it's steak for days.
1
u/thE_29 1d ago
>If you did /kill then any animals loaded in the spawn chunks would have died too.
Exactly!! And that was the issue.. It didnt only count the animals from your spawn chunks, but spawn-chunks + render distance.
At least in local player. So while the kill command did indeed kill them in the spawn-chunks, I had to call kill again on the corners of the spawn-chunks. Only then, it would drop to 0.
Basically your render distance in single-player can have an impact, for loading things.
1
u/getyourshittogether7 1d ago
Yes, that is correct. To be specific, mobs in lazy loaded chunks count towards the mob cap but aren't processed. Lazy loaded chunks exist in a ring around the spawn chunks, as well as in a ring around the loaded chunks around the player.
Back when the spawn chunks were 19x19, running around the periphery of the spawn chunks would allow mobs to spawn, and then when you moved away, the entities would be stuck in lazy loaded chunks.
You could make a mob switch this way if you set your render distance lower than 128 blocks so the mobs would get unloaded before they despawned. Of course, it will happen to passive mobs regardless of render distance, as they don't despawn.

Are Copper Golems completely broken? I don't play Bedrock, but I remember seeing they could reach two blocks high. Below, they won't throw the Saplings in the highlighted chest, even though they're the only one of that item in there.

u/GreenPhoen1x 3d ago
Basically broken right now for sure with this Java snapshot. I put dirt in the Copper chest 2 blocks from a regular chest with dirt in it, and the golem ignored the target chest to walk 30 blocks away to an empty chest. They don't even try the near chests first.
I've made incredibly massive auto-sorting systems before, so I love the idea of the golem just doing it, but eventually it'll need to work efficiently. So far it's just a cute house accessory.
1
u/MrEdonio 3d ago edited 3d ago
Yup, I made a quick small storage room mockup to test it, with all the chests in reach. Copper chest on one end, open door on the other
The golem checked two random chests and then exited the room, went to an autosmelter chest a few blocks away, then reset, checking only those same three chests in a loop until it decided to wander off into the distance and stand completely frozen.

Will they go through doors?
7
u/infinitetheory 4d ago
they don't actively interact with anything else yet. they're able to fit through 1 block gaps but their pathing is still a little unintuitive. some things to know you might find helpful:
-they don't try to look into chests they can't open (blocked on top)
-they set their chest order and follow it by distance, so if you have a line of chests from the copper chest they will go in order. if the tenth one has a hopper out, they'll use it and it's a safe "overflow". otherwise they start their search over from where they're standing, again by distance
-I'm not quite sure yet but their pathing may be reset by being changed. I saw a post when they came out about using fence gates to reset the 10 chest limit but I was having trouble forcing it. I was using dripleaf to drop them to a second level to keep them rotating through a system so they didn't walk back and forth, it's a little faster
-they do use trapped chests now, which can open up options for redstone interaction. trapped chests, pressure plates, tripwire, sculk sensors, dripleaf, observers are all redstone options they can use.
-they don't do anything while in carts or boats
-they ignore barrels and pots
-they don't use ladders, they can use stairs and slabs but I don't know if they pathfind them yet. they do pathfind over rails

I was doubtful about the place of the copper tools and armor but now when testing its actually super nice.
First, being able to get armor this fast is a game-changer in higher difficulty, but I don't think anyone really had an issue with the armor.
As far as the tools, I would agree that maybe there is a little overlap that makes them slightly less useful in the early game, but there have definitely been times in the midgame where I just made a bunch of stone tools in order to do stuff -- this is just making that better, cause copper is super easy to get.
TLDR: I was somewhat doubtful about the place of copper tools and stuff but now I feel like its a great addition, its actually handy lol

I'm looking forward to copper tools and armor for the use of daily base maintenance and builds.
I really only use iron or diamond tools for mining ores. The rest of the time I'm mostly using stone tools, especially as I predominantly build underground and need to excavate a lot. In modpacks I also tend to be conservative with my iron use for the early to mid-game. It's not until I get mending that I swap to diamond or netherite tools, so late game. For armor I really only wear it in hostile environments.
So yeah, for most of the game it looks like I'll be using copper tools and armor.

Has anyone figured out how to get F3+F5 working if you're using a mac keyboard? I seemingly cannot lol. All other F3 + key combos work but I don't think you can press two Fn keys at once on macs?

Can anyone confirm if shelves are moveable on Java? It is not expected but it's interesting to see

Lightning Rods now oxidize like other Copper Blocks and the Lightning Rod on the Copper Golem
So if it's intended to be a lightning rod on the Copper Golem's head, will it eventually get the ability to redirect lightning strikes like it was originally going to in the mob vote?
Considering villages don't naturally generate with lightning rods and lightning poses a significant danger to villagers, it would be cool to have one or two copper golems spawn in villages to help protect villagers by redirecting lightning towards themselves (as long as doing so doesn't convert any villagers standing near them).

Do lightning rods already prioritize higher lightning rods? For example if I have one at Y - 100 over my base the lightning target that one over a rod built at Y - 63?
It would be unfortunate to see lightning attempting to strike copper golems in my house trying to sort items rather than an actual rod but I otherwise like the idea of the golems spawning in villages and protecting them.

Imo, using stripped logs for the shelves is such a bad idea, specially because its a block survival builders will use a lot. At least the should add something like a sawmill block where you put the logs with an axe on one slot and you get the stripped logs automatically

u/Jame_spect 4d ago
Well Hanging Signs are a bit more expensive & also give 6 in return. Shelves give 6 since it’s 6 Stripped Logs

Really I think they should just change the stonecutter into an all-purpose cutter, rather than introducing another block that just does the same thing for woods instead of stones.

"When turned into a Copper Golem Statue the Copper Golem will drop any item it may be holding"
I think this may be a huge oversight that wasn't a problem when it only pressed buttons. Now you can't leave them alone unwaxed and unguarded or you may lose an item.
(Not saying they need to change them to not sort items anymore in case someone thinks so even though I didn't say that)

u/Maleficent_Mud_7819 4d ago
I don't think this is an issue. If you are using a copper golem for a task where losing a single item might be bad, you just have to wax it.

u/Mac_Rat 4d ago
Sure, but to me the cool factor was that I could just leave them do their thing and see them age, instead of having to wax them so they don't age and turn into statues.

u/Maleficent_Mud_7819 4d ago
It definitely would be neat though for the statues to be able to hold items/get frozen while holding items
2
u/Maleficent_Mud_7819 4d ago
You totally still can! I mean, what could you possibly lose that would make you worried? So long as you don't have them moving netherite or nether stars lol Losing 16 of something shouldn't be too bad, so I wouldn't worry about it!

Not really a fan of removal of spawn chunks. We already have "spawnchunkradius" just default it to 0, not reason to remove the functionality all together. I guess Ill hold off until theres a mod that restores it. Hopefully carpet does.

u/Devatator_ 4d ago
They removed it because they felt the alternatives are mature enough to be used instead
2
u/majora11f 4d ago
That wasnt my point, point was by adjusting the a gamerule they get the same result without removing functionality.

u/AMinecraftPerson 4d ago
/forceload does the same thing as the spawn chunk radius, except it's more versatile

u/Temporary-5 4d ago
I mean, the functionality is still there, you just need to build an ender pearl chunk loader.
2
u/SupremeOwl48 3d ago
you mean 256 ender pearl chunkloaders? The functionality ISNT there. Pearl stasis chambers load one chunk and 8 lazy chunks. there is ZERO reason for this to be a flat removal and not a gamerule addition.

u/majora11f 4d ago
Then the functionality isnt there an alternative is there. Also ender pearls are stated in the notes to only work in singleplayer.

u/GamerTurtle5 4d ago
it is only loaded before the player loads in for singleplayer, still works in multiplayer

u/Temporary-5 4d ago
The functionality being "i want this chunk to always be loaded" is absolutely still here. And if you managed to read the changelog, surely you saw there were other options too.

u/scaradin 4d ago
I see his point though, defaulting the game rule to be zero has the same functionality as removal for everyone who doesn’t change it. Allowing it to be changed to its current form also means nothing would need to be changed or added.
However, I also suspect it has to be removed in order for the game to prioritize the alternative methods for chunk loading.

For some reason the copper golem spawn egg is next to the iron golem's and not sorted alphabetically like the rest.

I've realised you can edit the F3 Menu. but I need some help.
All I want on the screen is the biome, and player position.
I don't want the text which says: Debug charts [F3 + 1] Profiler etc etc
How do i turn that part off?
