Minecraft Forums

It's a new year and a new Snapshot.  Mojang has been hard at work fixing the bugs that you all have been reporting.  There have been a few changes to seeds which you can read below.

Changes in 22W03A

• A seed of the number zero is no longer handled as a special case
• Any spaces before/after an inputted seed will now be trimmed
• Ender chests are no longer gift wrapped around Christmas

Technical Changes in 22W03A

• The locate command now uses a namespaced id parameter
• Added command: placefeature

placefeature

A new command that places a configured feature at a given location.
Syntax: placefeature <id> [pos]

Parameters:

• id: The namespaced id of a configured feature to place
• pos: The position to use as the origin for the feature placement (if omitted, ~ ~ ~ is used)
