We are back again with a third snapshot for 26.2, today we are bringing you sulfur spikes to test out! These sharp blocks grow in sulfur caves, adding a colorful, pointy touch to your builds! But watch out – falling sulfur spikes sure pack a puncture!
Happy Mining!
New Features
Sulfur Spike
Is a new block that generates naturally on Sulfur blocks inside the sulfur caves biome
Forms a stalactite if placed on the ceiling or a stalagmite if placed on the floor
Can be combined to form longer stalactites & stalagmites
Stalactites and stalagmites merge if the tips are next to each other, unless you press shift while placing
Stalagmites will break if they’re not attached to something below
Stalactites fall down if not attached to something above
Being hit by a falling stalactite hurts, and they are sharp!
Thrown Tridents break Sulfur Spike

Block Entity Data

Predicates
Entity Predicates
Entity predicate format has changed from a structure with multiple optional fields to one similar to data component maps.
For example, previously effects was an optional field:
{
“effects”: {…}
}
In this version it has become a component-like sub-predicate entry:
{
“minecraft:effects”: {…}
}
The main functional changes are:
All keys in entity predicates are now identifiers
Since identifiers can be written without namespace (default to minecraft namespace), existing field names are still valid
Exception: field type has been renamed to minecraft:entity_type
Unrecognized sub-predicate components are now rejected (previously unknown fields were ignored)
Existing type-specific sub-predicates have been renamed and moved to top-level.
minecraft:lightning to minecraft:type_specific/lightning
minecraft:fishing_hook to minecraft:type_specific/fishing_hook
minecraft:player to minecraft:type_specific/player
minecraft:raider to minecraft:type_specific/raider
minecraft:sheep to minecraft:type_specific/sheep
minecraft:slime to minecraft:cube_mob as it now includes Sulfur Cubes in addition to Slimes and Magma Cubes
For example:
{
“type_specific”: {
“type”: “minecraft:player”,
“looking_at”: {
“type”: “minecraft:ender_dragon”
}
}
}
becomes
{
“minecraft:type_specific/player”: {
“looking_at”: {
“minecraft:type”: “minecraft:ender_dragon”
}
}
}
Added minecraft:entity_tags entity sub-predicate
This predicate matches entity tags (i.e. ones set with the /tag command).
Fields:
any_of – optional list of strings, if present the matched entity must have at least one of the listed tags
all_of – optional list of strings, if present the matched entity must have all the listed tags
none_of – optional list of strings, if present the matched entity must have none of the listed tags
