The snapshots trek on, and Mojang Studios have now released 22w17a.

Goat horns now officially make an appearance, thou we have had them as a custom item in Drustcraft for a while now! Use the horn to play a loud sound that can be heard from afar with each horn having its own sound based on the Goat it originated from. There are 8 Goat Horn variants, 4 of them exclusive to screaming Goats.

The full changelog for Minecraft: Java Edition Snapshot 22w17a includes:

New Features in 22w17a​

• Added Goat Horn!

Goat Horn​

• A Goat Horn drops when a Goat rams a tree or any other hard block that occurs naturally where Goats spawn (Logs, Stone, Packed Ice, Iron Ore, Copper Ore, or Emerald Ore)
  • Other solid blocks are unfamiliar to the Goat, so it won’t ram them
• Use the horn to play a loud sound that can be heard from afar
• Each horn has its own sound based on the Goat it originated from
• There are 8 Goat Horn variants, 4 of them exclusive to screaming Goats
• Goat Horns can sometimes be found in Pillager Outposts

Changes in 22w17a​

• The Allay connecting with Note Blocks is now better visualized by the vibration particle
• The Allay connecting with Note Blocks can now be blocked by Wool Blocks again
• Replaced realms subtle selected world highlight with a clear green checkmark
• Updated the Brewing Stand’s base UVs and texture to match a graphical fix in Bedrock Edition
• Explosions caused by player-ignited TNT now cause experience to drop from broken blocks (such as ore blocks and sculk)
  • We will be keeping an eye on feedback for this change, it might change in a future update
• Sculk blocks now have very low blast resistance
• Warden balancing

Warden​

• Their ranged attack will now:

  • Bypass shields and armor
  • Deal 10 damage instead of 30 damage, and the cooldown has been reduced from 5 seconds to 2 seconds
  • Display a custom death message

• Wardens now drop a single Sculk Catalyst upon death

Technical Changes in 22w17a​

• Signed Chat
• Removed dampenable_vibrations game event tag

Multiplayer Secure Chat Signing​

This is the first step in a process to provide more security and player safety features for in-game chat. We'd love to hear your thoughts, but keep in mind that many features such as server-driven styling of chat messages are still missing.

• Chat messages between players are now cryptographically signed
• Players are given a Mojang provided key-pair on startup
• Servers can require players to have a Mojang-signed public key by setting enforce-secure-profile=true in server.properties
  • Enforcing secure profiles will prevent players without a Mojang-signed public key from connecting
  • By default this is set to false, allowing players to connect without a Mojang-signed public key
• Chat styling is now handled via server resource packs with the translation key chat.type.text

Java snapshot 22w14a is out and packed with additions such as the new Mangrove biome, Mangrove trees, Warm Frogs and Mud blocks!

This is so awesome, and when you think they could not have packed more in, there is now a Recovery compass, which unlike a normal compass, will point to the last place you died, and even more technical parts are here such as Echo shards which can be found in Ancient Cities.

We also see a ton of bug fixes for the Warden, who is now even angrier, especially when a mob bumps into him as well as the new Allay mob which appeared in snapshot 22w13a.

The latest Java 22w12a snapshot finally sees Chestboats, in every wood variant. Move over Alex, I need to carry more items!

The Warden has finally made its way into the Java Edition in this snapshot with some new attack animations and buffs. Darkness effect has been improved and shriekers also sound scarier.

Finally leaves are now waterloggable which should see some awesome creative builds!

Ooooo, they are all grown up! Turtles have been a part of Minecraft since 1.13, they are cute and you can get a cool helmet if you're lucky!

However, they can now grow into giants, hostile mobs. Giant turtles like to lure their prey using palm trees and sand castles, then will jump out of the sand to catch them unaware.

This update also adds a new Turtle Shell shield and coconuts that players can use or trade!
