Technical Changes in 22w19a

Technical Changes in 22w19a
• Servers can now enable Chat Preview, which displays a server-controlled preview above the chat edit box
• Changes to the locate and place commands
• Point of Interest tags

Chat Preview

• 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 how the message will look when sent
• This can be used by servers to preview messages with styling applied, such as emojis or chat coloring
• Chat Preview sends chat messages to the server as they are typed, even before they’re sent
◦ The server then sends back the styled preview in real time
◦ This allows servers to apply dynamic message stylings while still allowing chat to be securely signed
• A warning screen is shown on the client when joining a server with Chat Preview, and it can be globally disabled in Chat Settings
• Dynamic chat styling can also be controlled by the server, although this is only signed when Chat Preview is enabled
◦ Clients can prefer to always show the original, signed message by enabling “Only Show Signed Chat” in Chat Settings

Commands

• Added template sub-command to place command
locate command moved to locate structure, locatebiome moved to locate biome
• Added locate poi <type: point_of_interest_type>
• Servers will now also send an additional icon and MOTD packet after a player has connected
◦ This allows servers with enable-status=false to set an icon and MOTD for players that successfully connect

Place Template

The place command can now also place templates at a given location. Syntax:


place template <template> [pos] [rotation] [mirror] [integrity] [seed]

  • place template works like using the load button in the UI for a structure block
Parameters
template: The namespaced id of a template (“structure block file”) to load and place
rotation: The rotation to apply (if omitted, none is used)
mirror: The mirroring to apply (if omitted, none is used)
integrity: The structure integrity value between 0 and 1
seed: The seed to use for the randomized degradation when integrity is less than 1

Point of Interest Types

• Removed unemployed and nitwit point_of_interest_types
• Added tag point_of_interest_type/acquirable_job_site for all job sites seeked by Villagers with none profession
