As the weeks go by, we find out more about Minecraft’s next big update. If it’s the Wild Update, Snapshots are a great way to learn more about it, and this week the chat feature is once again in focus.

Minecraft developers are always on the lookout when it comes to sharing what’s coming for the next big update. This summer, we will indeed have the chance to welcome the Wild Update, and while waiting for its arrival, Mojang Studios sharing the Snapshots over the weeks in order to have some glimpses of the latter.

For the moment, we have already had the right to the introduction of the wardenthe guardian of the caves, to the establishment of the new Deep Dark biomebut also to the mob who will be our ally, Allay. Moreover, new species have invaded our marshes with the appearance of frogs and tadpoles.

For this new week, we take advantage of the Snapshot 22w19a which mainly focuses on some chat improvements, but also on some changes that affect the Warden and the Iron Golem. Now both creatures appear above so-called solid elements.

Minecraft Snapshot 22w19a Patch Note

SNAPSHOT 22W19A TECHNICAL CHANGES

  • Servers can now enable chat preview, which displays a server-controlled preview above the chat edit box.
  • Changes to locate and place commands
  • Points of interest tags

CHAT OVERVIEW

  • Servers can enable chat preview by setting previews-chat=true in server.properties.
  • When enabled, a server-controlled preview appears above the chat edit box, showing what the message will look like when sent.
  • Servers can use this to preview messages with applied styling, such as emojis or chat colors.
  • Chat preview sends chat messages to the server as they are typed, even before they are sent.
    – The server then returns the styled preview in real time.
    – This allows servers to apply dynamic message styles while allowing chat to be securely signed.
  • A warning screen is displayed on the client when joining a server with chat preview, and it can be disabled globally in chat settings.
  • Dynamic chat style can also be controlled by the server, but is only signed when chat preview is enabled.
    – Customers may prefer to view the original signed message by enabling the “Only Show Signed Chat” option in the chat settings.

ORDERS

  • Added template subcommand to command square
  • Ordered locate moved to locate structure, locatebiome moved to locate biome.
  • Addition of locate poi .
  • Servers will now also send an additional icon and MOTD packet after a player logs in.
    – This allows servers with enable-status=false to set an icon and a MOTD for players who log in successfully.
