Minecraft Snapshot 24w19a introduces impactful changes to gameplay and performance. The Mace, a prominent weapon, now boasts increased durability, rising from 250 to a formidable 500, although its base damage has been reduced to 5. This adjustment encourages players to focus more on strategic combat tactics. Additionally, the Mace’s attack speed has been slowed from -2.4 to -3.5, requiring a shift in play style to adapt to these new parameters.
Moreover, the snapshot brings significant optimizations to chunk loading mechanics. Notably, when loading a previously generated chunk from storage, surrounding chunks are now loaded more efficiently, reducing unnecessary strain on memory and CPU. Players will experience smoother world loading, especially noticeable on the single-player loading screen. These enhancements underscore Mojang’s commitment to refining Minecraft’s performance while enhancing the overall player experience. Players are encouraged to test the snapshot and provide feedback to contribute to the game’s ongoing development.
