Minecraft 1 16 Snapshot 20w06a

Minecraft 1.16 Snapshot 20w06a is everything we wanted to see added to the Nether. New blocks, new items, new biomes, new armor, new weapons.

Features:

• Added new Nether blocks!
• Knockback resistance is now a scale instead of a probability.
• Added Crimson Forest biome to the Nether.
• Added Hoglins – they don’t do much yet, but they have cute flappy ears.
• Patrols no longer spawn when the player is close to any village.
• Added Netherite.
• Added Soulsand Valley biome to the Nether.
• Walls do not have gaps anymore when stacked vertically.
• Added Warped Forest biome to the Nether.

Blocks:

• Many new block types have been added.
• Two new wood-like materials – Crimson Stems and Warped Stems.
• Basalt blocks – you can find them as pillars but they can be placed in any direction.
• New ground surface blocks: Crimson Nylium and Warped Nylium.
• New vegetation: Nether Sprouts, Crimson Roots and Warped Roots.
• Two types of Fungi: Crimson and Warped – try using bone meal to grow them.
• Warped Wart blocks.
• Weeping Vines that grow from the bottom of a block downwards.
• A new natural light source: Shroomlights.
• Added Soul Soil! Whenever fire burns on Soul Soil, it burns with a blue flame.
• Soul Soil can be used to craft Soul Torches – and those can be crafted into Soul Lanterns.
• Using bone meal on Netherrack can now spread Nylium.

Crimson Forest:

• Crimson Forests can now be found in the Nether.
• Crimson nylium carpets the cave floor with all kinds of strange new vegetation.
• Huge Crimson Fungi make up the “trees” of this forest, with Shroomlights lighting up the forest floor.
• Weeping Vines grow from the cave ceilings and fungi.
• Hoglins wander these forests.
• Crimson spores swirl through the air.

Netherite:

• A new high-level material found in the Nether. Use it to upgrade your diamond gear.

How to make Netherite:

• Mine Ancient Debris in the lower depths of the Nether. At own risk. No insurance coverage for that.
• Refine it into Netherite Scrap in a Furnace (although that’s kind of slow so you might want a Blast Furnace).
• Combine 4 Nether Scrap with 4 Gold Ingots in a crafting table to make a Netherite Ingot.

Netherite effects:

• Netherite items float in lava so you don’t lose all your gear after that unplanned lava bath.
• Netherite items have higher enchantment value than diamond (but not as high as gold).
• Netherite tools work faster and last longer than diamond.
• Netherite weapons do more damage than diamond.
• Netherite armor have higher toughness and durability than diamond.
• Netherite armor gives you knockback resistance, so you barely get knocked back at all when hit by arrows and such…and it looks cool.

Soulsand Valley:

• Soulsand Valleys can now be found in the Nether.
• An open space made mostly of Soul Sand and Soul Soil.
• Basalt pillars span from floor to ceiling.
• Fossil remains of unknown creatures from the past litter the valley.
• Ash falls through the air.
• A light blue glow envelopes the valley.
• Beware of Skeletons here.

Sounds:

• Ghasts sounds are now heard at a shorter range.
• Updated block sounds for Bone Blocks, Netherrack, Soul Sand, Netherwart, Nether Bricks and Quartz Ore.

Warped Forest:

• Warped Forests can now be found in the Nether.
• Warped nylium carpets the cave floor with all kinds of strange new vegetation.
• Huge Warped Fungi make up the “trees” of this forest, with Shroomlights lighting up the forest floor.
• A dark blue fog covers the forest.
• Warped spores swirl through the air.
• The Warped Forests are strange, but also the least hostile place of Nether.

World Generation:

• The old Nether biome is now called Nether Wastes.
• Made shipwrecks and ocean ruins a bit less common, so you get more excited when you find one.
