Mojang has released Minecraft snapshot 25w43a for Java Edition, featuring a Quality-of-Life fix for the new spear weapon, major changes to how the Lunge enchantment works, and more.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Minecraft finally added the major features for the Mounts of Mayhem game drop, such as the nautilus and spear. After receiving helpful feedback from the community, Mojang has made some big changes to the spear and its Lunge enchantment. Spears now deal increased charged attack damage and have a larger model.

The Lunge enchantment has had its high durability cost removed. However, it has now been nerfed, as it consumes hunger to perform the dash move. Read the complete changelog below to find out everything new in Minecraft snapshot 25w43a.

Loot Functions

Enchantments

Ad

  • amount - Level-Based Value indicating the amount of exhaustion to apply
  • effective only on players

Resource Pack Version 71.0

Textures

  • darkened_cutout_mipmap field of the texture section of *.mcmeta files has been replaced by a new field mipmap_strategy with the following supported values:
  • mean averages both color and alpha between groups of four pixels for the current mipmap level to generate the next mipmap level pixel. This was and stays the default strategy for most solid or translucent full block textures
  • dark_cutout is similar to mean, but blends colors in a way that makes the pixels bordering cutout pixels darker. This was and stays the strategy for leaves and Mangrove Roots. It simulates dark interior of the blocks
  • cutout is a new strategy that always generates a mipmap based on the original texture instead of the previous mipmap. Used for most cutout blocks that became mipmapped in this version
  • strict_cutout is a modification of cutout that uses stricter alpha cutoff value leading to the textures using this value disappearing at higher mipmap levels. Is used for flowers and similar blocks to avoid artifacts
  • auto is the default value and will make the game to pick mean for textures that do not contain fully transparent pixels and cutout for those that do
  • All mipmap levels are once again animated for block animated textures
  • Beacon and Redstone dust now support translucent textures

Sounds

  • Added new sound event for the Nautilus:
  • item.underwater_saddle.equip

With the Lunge enchantment now requiring hunger points, some players might lose interest in the new weapon. However, these features are still in snapshots, so Mojang may remove this feature or make further adjustments in future updates.
