Minecraft Snapshot 24w14a

Hello Minecraft players! Today we have a Snapshot with some technical changes and bug fixes for you.

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 38
• The game now requires Java 21
• The game now requires a 64-bit Operating System
• The included Java distribution is now the Microsoft build of OpenJDK 21.0.2

Data Pack Version 38

• Added replace field to the set_attributes loot function (default: true)
  • When false, attributes will be appended
• The text field within filterable entries in book components has been renamed to raw to avoid ambiguity

  • By specifying the id field without a name, the name and textures will be looked up
