A new snapshot is ready to be served, although somewhat… raw. Gordon Ramsey would be furious. Please don’t tell him, we don’t want to be called donuts. 😞

Most of us have just gotten back from being off for a few days during Easter, so this snapshot is a bit on the smaller side.

This update can also be found on minecraft.net.

If you find any bugs, please report them on the official Minecraft Issue Tracker. You can also leave feedback on the Feedback site.

New Features in 21w14a

• Added Raw Copper, Raw Iron and Raw Gold items
• Tuff blobs can now be found between heights 0 and 16

Smeltable Ore Drops

• Ores that are smeltable now drop raw item forms of the ore instead of the ore block, and these can be smelted just like before
• This is to prevent cluttering the inventory, and have consistency with Fortune on all ores
• Ore blocks from old worlds and silk-touched ore blocks will continue to be smeltable

Changes in 21w14a

• Fully oxidized copper can now be waxed
