What’s New in Minecraft 1.19.4?

Minecraft 1.19.4 has gone live! However, with all the hype surrounding the Trails & Tales update its hard to remember what this update even provides. So, today we explore Minecraft 1.19.4, what it includes, and how you too can give it a try.

Details and Adjustments

Being an in-between patch there are no new biomes or mobs, but that does not mean what was added is nothing less than fantastic! More parity between Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, updated horse breeding, and an entirely new world creation screen. Below are the highlights of Minecraft 1.19.4!

Horse Breeding

• Made Easier & More Reliable

Players who breed horses often work for hours upon hours while rarely getting the outcome they deserve. With Minecraft 1.19.4, baby horses simply receive the average of the two parents’ attributes. Siblings may still vary, but overall, many great horses are on the horizon!

Jukebox

• Parity Between Java & Bedrock

Jukeboxes in Bedrock Edition emitted note particles while active, a redstone signal of 15, and droppers and hoppers could both interact with it. Now, these features are in Java Edition too!

World Creation

• UI Overhaul

The world creation section of the Minecraft client received a new UI divided into three easy-to-understand tabs. Specifically, they are the Game Tab, World Tab, and More Tab. Experimental features are also much easier to enable and disable now.

General Gameplay Adjustments

• Elytra Inventory Interaction
• Armor Stands
• Camera Tilt

Elytra received a small but much-desired change. If right-clicked while in one’s hot bar, it is automatically equipped! Armor Stands also received some love and now retain custom names when broken and moved. Finally, when damaged, the screen tilt is now based on the direction of incoming damage.

General Visual Adjustments

• Vex Animations
• Potion Colors
• Enchantment Glint

Vex without weapons now have unique charging animations, potions were recolored and lost their enchanted glint, and enchantment glints, in general, were made far more subtle. Three small changes, but still worth noting!
