Does the Java Edition of Minecraft Have the 1.14 Update

1.14, the first release of Village & Pillage, is a major update to Java Edition released on April 23, 2019.^[1] It focuses mainly on villages, adding a new subset of illagers known as pillagers, and redesigns village architecture to match the biome it is located in. This update also introduces many new blocks and mobs, revamps the crafting system by moving some functionalities to different blocks, updates the taiga biome with foxes and sweet berries, and adds a new bamboo jungle biome along with bamboo and pandas. It is also the first major release to include the new textures of the Texture Update.

Originally, 1.14 was to be the version number Update Aquatic would release as, but it was changed to be merged into 1.13, then named Technically Updated, due to the world generation overhaul taking longer than Mojang was hoping.^[2]

The update was originally revealed during the MINECON Earth 2018 livestream on September 29, 2018.^[3]

The Nether

• Soul sand and gravel now generate below Y-level 34 at lava sea level, instead of between Y-level 60 and 65.^[4]
  • A possible reason for this tweak was to accomodate for the increased availability of soul sand in the upcoming Nether Update, as the idea of soul sand valley biome had likely been envisioned by the developers while 1.14 was still in development.

Gameplay [ ]

Crafting

• Recipes for combining damaged items have been removed; these are now done using the grindstone.

Enchanting

• The protection, blast protection, fire protection, and projectile protection enchantments are no longer mutually exclusive.

Lighting system

• Has been rewritten.
  • Moved light storage from chunks to a separate structure.
  • Moved light calculation from all over the code to a self-contained place.
  • Moved light computation off the main thread on the server.

Sneaking

• Now reduces the player's height to 1.5 blocks, allowing them to walk through 1.5-block-tall gaps.

Status effects

• Each individual status effect icon texture is now found in a separate texture file.
• Luck and Bad Luck have had their icons updated.
• Improved the Invisibility status effect to allow it to correctly work in many cases where it didn't.

Trading

  • Some of the professions have less than five trade tiers in total.
    • If a villager summoned by a command has a higher level than its natural highest level, its badge can still be seen, however, the player wouldn't be able to interact with it.
  • A little experience bar is shown at the top of the trading UI. Once the bar fills up from trading, exiting the UI and waiting briefly will level up the villager and show pink particles similar to those shown when refreshing trades in previous versions of the game.
  • Experience that exceeds the level up amount seems to roll over between level ups.
  • The experience bar disappears once the villager becomes master level.
  • Every time a new level is reached, 1-2 new trade offers appear.
  • The villager's experience gained per trade is based on the trade itself, the level the trade was unlocked at (novice, apprentice, etc.), and the current level of the villager.
    • Lower level trades will give less experience towards a level up once the villager is a higher level.
