Item interaction vibrations when using an item with a start and finish state (such as Bows, Crossbows, Goat Horns, Shields, Food) emits no vibration.

Item interaction vibrations are now ignored when you are sneaking.

Equipping Items In Your Headwear Slot Plays a Sound

Equipping non-headgeear makes a generic equip sound

In Java Snapshot 1.19 Pre-Release 1, equipping any non-armor items in your headwear slot (like pumpkins or skulls) will cause a generic equip sound to play.

Gameplay Updates Are Part of the 1.19 Cycle

With Version 1.19 Pre-Release 1 being part of the 1.19 cycle, players can expect these changes in the next live patch. However, keep in mind that not all gameplay features added in snapshots will automatically arrive in the next patch. These features are subject to change or further development.
