How to download minecraft windows10 on mac

Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.

What's New:

1.16.3 includes two fixes listed below:

• MC-196449 – Piglins, piglin brutes, hoglins and zoglins have trouble pathfinding to the player when attacking.
• MC-198678 – Giving an item and a gold ingot to a baby piglin and killing it duplicates the item.

1.16.1 is a minor update to Java Edition released on June 24, 2020, which fixes stability issues with Realms. It is not compatible with 1.16 servers.

1.16, the first release of the Nether Update, is a major update to Java Edition announced at MINECON Live 2019 and released on June 23, 2020. This update overhauls the Nether by adding four new biomes, four new mobs (the piglin, hoglin, zoglin, and strider), and a multitude of new blocks, including many variants of blackstone as well as the respawn anchor used to set the player's spawnpoint in the Nether. It also adds a new netherite tier of equipment, obtained through ancient debris found rarely throughout the Nether.

Performance

General

Block models

• Added gui_light option in models to allow controlling light when rendering model as an item in a GUI.
• If set to side, the model will be rendered like a block.
• If set to front, the model will be shaded like a flat item.

• New chat component for displaying values from NBT
• Textures for potion effects, paintings and particles are now split into individual files. As a side effect, they can now be animated in the same way as blocks and items.
• Sprites for particles can now be configured in resource packs (though particle still controls how they will be used).
• Added entity type tags. They work exactly the same as other ones (blocks, items and fluids, etc). Stored in tags\entity_types\
• Added a feature registry

• Block drops are now controlled by loot tables
• Players, armor stands and wither now have loot tables
• Performance Improvements
• Added schedule command for delaying execution of functions

ADVANCEMENTS

• Entity type predicates now accept tags (#baz)

DAMAGE SOURCE PREDICATE

• Damage source predicate now has option: is_lightning

ENTITY EQUIPMENT PREDICATE

• Entity predicate now accepts equipment field
• This predicate can contain up to six fields: head, chest, legs, feet, mainhand, offhand
• If this predicate is non-null, test will fail for entities that have no equipment (i.e. not mobs, players or armor stands)

ENTITY FLAGS PREDICATE

• Entity predicate now accepts flags field
• Available tests: is_on_fire, is_sneaking, is_sprinting, is_swimming, is_baby

CHAT COMPONENTS

COMMANDS

• type field in @ selectors now accepts entity type tags (type=#fooand type=!#bar)
• Item frame contents can now be modified with /replaceitem

DATA

• data modify
  • Apply operation to selected fields
  • Basic operation: set - replaces value
  • List operations: insert
  • Object operations: merge
  • Sources:
    • from
    • value

EXECUTE

• execute if data
• when used as command, return count of matched elements
• when used as part of command, continues on non-zero(if) or zero(unless) count

LOOT

SOURCES

• fish
• loot
• kill
• mine

TARGETS

• spawn
• replace - works similar to /replaceitem. If count is missing, command will try to place all returned items. If count is higher than number of items, remaining slots will be cleared.
  • entity
  • block
• give
• insert

SCHEDULE

Schedules function or tag to run in

TEAMMSG

General syntax: teammsg

ALIAS

NBT PATHS

• Can now return multiple values. When used as target, modification will be applied to every element
• When setting location and no elements are found, new matching element will be created:
• For example writing to Items[{Slot:10b}] will either found element in Items for slot 10 or create new one
• Add [{k1:v1,k2:v2}] to match objects in list that have matching fields
• Add {k1:v1,k2:v2} to match objects (selects 0 or 1 elements, mostly as safeguard against mismatched entries)
• Note: this also works with root object: {} is valid path for referencing root object
• Allow negative indices in [index] to select element from end (i.e. [-1] is last element, [-2] second to last, etc)
• Add [] to select all elements from list

LIGHT ENGINE

We are de-lighted to have a new light engine!

• Moved light storage from chunks to a separate structure
• Moved light calculation from all over the code to a self-contained place
• Moved light computation off the main thread (on the server)
• Added support for directional opacity of blocks (used by slabs, stairs, snow layers, non-full-block dirt-related blocks and extended piston base blocks)
• Also made enchanting table, end portal frame block and piston base block block light correctly

LOOT TABLES

Note: Some functions and predicates (like set_name, set_lore, fill_player_head, entity_properties) accept entity target parameter. Possible values are:

• Block drops are now controlled by loot tables (stored in loot_tables/blocks/)
• Tables and pools accept functions
• Added new loot table entry types: dynamic, tag, alternatives, sequence, group
• Added new loot table functions: apply_bonus, explosion_decay, copy_name, limit_count, set_contents, set_loot_table, set_lore, fill_player_head, copy_nbt
• Added new loot table conditions: survives_explosion, block_state_property, table_bonus, match_tool, damage_source_properties, location_check, weather_check and two special modifiers: inverted and alternative
• Integer values can now specify random number generator (available types: constant, uniform, binomial). If omitted, defaults to uniform
• Loot tables have optional type, used to validate function usage (available types: empty, chest, fishing, entity, advancement_reward, block). Using function that references data not available in given context (for example, block state in fishing table) will cause warning
• New entity parameter in predicates: direct_killer - allows access to projectiles etc.
• this - usually entity performing action
• killer_player
• killer - primary source of damage
• direct_killer - direct source of damage (may be different than killer - for example, when killing with bow, killer will be bow user, while direct_killer will be arrow entity)

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

• Improved performance of Redstone Wire when depowering.
• Improved performance of Fish.
• Mobs that would spawn and then despawn from being too far away from the player the next tick no longer spawn.

REFACTORING

CHANGES TO RENDER OPTIONS

• Removed option to turn off VBO in the game settings. VBO are now always used.

WORLDGEN

• Most of the biome related features now have a registry and their configuration can be serialized. I wonder what this is going to be used for...
• Added "Bamboo Jungle" and "Bamboo Jungle Hills" biomes which behave like a normal jungle, but have bamboo!
