Minecraft 1 19 4 Snapshot 23w04a

Minecraft 1.19.4 Snapshot 23w04a contains mostly changes to smithing tables and armor trims (experimental features) with datapack changes to support them, plus more bug fixes.

Features:

• Enchantment glint on items and armor is now more subtle
• Added a new armor trimming system to visually customize your armor
• Added Smithing Template items
• Redesigned the Smithing Table
• Changed how Netherite equipment is crafted

Smithing Templates:

• Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications
• Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Templates
• Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to equipment
  • It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade
  • There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade
• Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table
• You can craft a copy of a Smithing Template in the Crafting Table with 7 diamonds + 1 block of material that the template is made out of + 1 smithing template, which will output 2 of the same Smithing Template

Netherite Equipment:

• Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template
• Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests, and there is a guarantee of 2 in every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant
• This change was made for a variety of reasons:
  • Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite
  • Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression
  • Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system

Armor Trims:

• You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table
  • All armor is viable for trims except for leather armor
• Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits, and can only be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings and Boots
  • All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material
  • To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory
• Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contain their own unique Smithing Template:
  • Pillager Outpost
    • Sentry Armor Trim
  • Desert Pyramid
    • Dune Armor Trim
  • Shipwreck
    • Coast Armor Trim
  • Jungle Temple
    • Wild Armor Trim

  • End City
    • Spire Armor Trim
• Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure, except for the Ocean Monument. Instead of finding it in chests, Elder Guardians sometimes drop a Smithing Template upon death
• Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!
• An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
  • The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim, and represents the visual pattern of the trim
  • The material is defined by what ingredient you used to apply the trim, and represents the color of the trim
• The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
  • Iron
  • Copper
  • Gold
  • Lapis
  • Emerald
  • Diamond
  • Netherite
  • Redstone
  • Amethyst
  • Quartz
• Armor cannot have the same material it is made of applied to it as a trim
  • For example, a Golden Chestplate cannot have a Golden Armor Trim
