Minecraft Caves and Cliffs Snapshot 21w14a: New features and changes

New features

In this Snapshot, mining copper, iron and gold ore will not drop ore blocks.

  • Added Raw Copper, Raw Iron, and Raw Gold items.
  • Tuff blobs can now be found between heights 0 and 16.

Earlier, tuff blocks would only generate near the amethyst geode. Players can now find tuff blocks when they transition from stone to deepslate regions. (Y level 0 to 16)

Smeltable Ore Drops

Ore drops have been changed in this week's Minecraft Snapshot:

  • Ores that are smeltable now drop raw item forms of the ore instead of the ore block and these can be smelted just like before.
  • This is to prevent cluttering the inventory and have consistency with Fortune on all ores.
  • Ore blocks from old worlds and silk-touched ore blocks will continue to be smeltable.

Changes in Minecraft Snapshot 21w14a

  • Fully oxidized Copper can now be waxed in Minecraft.
