It’s a new week in the world of Minecraft, and a new week brings along with itself a new snapshot. Yesterday, Mojang released snapshot 20w29a for version 1.16 of Minecraft Java Edition. Therefore, today we are going to take a look at what’s inside the patch notes.
Mojang had already stated two weeks ago, that there won’t be new features coming to the game after 20w27a. Which means, the current update focuses on minor changes and fixing bugs in its majority. Hence let’s take a look at what 20w29a has to offer.
Changes in 20w29a
In terms of general gameplay changes, Mojang has implemented a new sorting technique for tools in the creative item menu. Earlier, tools had a category of their own in the item menu (E). However, with the recent changes they will be categorised under the material used to build them.
The technical changes in 20w29a include changes in the command spawnpoint and setworldspawn. According to the patch notes :
Added angle parameter for setting the default facing angle of a respawning player.
Syntax: spawnpoint [targets] [pos] [angle]
Syntax: setworldspawn [pos] [angle] New parameters:
angle– Floating point angle in degrees. Supports the relative~modifier
