We are now releasing snapshot 22w46a for Minecraft 1.19.3 with playable mob sounds added as an experimental feature, improvements for telemetry data and several technical improvements.
\nHappy mining!
\npack.mcmeta are now including non-ASCII characters (encoded as UTF-8) directly instead of using escape sequencesThis release includes the WorldUnloaded event, a required event, as well as several opt-in events. Diagnostic tracking is a tool that helps us understand what you like about Minecraft, which allows us to make those things better.
\nThe reason that WorldUnloaded, along with WorldLoaded, is a required event is that the information we’re looking at is, well, required. As a part of Xbox, we all need to follow a standard of practice, you can find a detailed description of it here. The parameters for what data we consider to be critical to our work are set by our team at Mojang Studios in alignment with Xbox.
\nWhat we want to find out is how fun you think Minecraft is. There are lots of ways to figure that out, like feedback, playtests, experience, and magic. We want to add data to that mix, which is where WorldLoaded and WorldUnloaded come in. WorldLoaded measures when you boot a session up, and WorldUnloaded measures when you shut it down. Together, they will measure how fun Minecraft is, using metrics such as playtime and the game modes that players choose to play. That’s it. All the data we collect, whether it’s required or opt-in, follows GDPR and CCPA best practices to keep your information safe.
\nThe rest of the current telemetry events are opt-in, which means that you can choose whether or not you want to send us additional data. The only players that can’t opt-in are Microsoft child accounts, but everyone can still send in all of their feedback to feedback.minecraft.net.
\nJust like all the thoughts and comments we get from you on our feedback site, this is something that greatly helps us improve Minecraft. We want to make a game that you want to play, so we want to know what that game needs. Even if it’s more lava.
\nlogs/telemetry directoryUnderstanding how Minecraft is played allows us to focus game updates and improvements on the areas that are most relevant to players.\nThe data that tells us this includes game mode, client or server modded status, and game version.
\nWorldLoaded & WorldUnloaded are two paired events that calculate how long the world session has lasted (in seconds and ticks).\nData from WorldLoaded is sent when a world is launched, and data from WorldUnloaded is sent when a world is shut down (quitting to title, disconnecting from a server).
\nKnowing the overall performance profile of Minecraft helps us tune and optimize the game for a wide range of machine specifications and operating systems.
\nThe periodic performance metrics includes data such as frame-rates, rendering performance, memory usage, operating system, and the modded status of the client and server.
\nGame version is included to help us compare the performance profile for new versions of Minecraft.
\nIt’s important for us to understand how long it takes to join a world, and how that changes over time. For example, when we add new features or do larger technical changes, we need to see what impact that had on load times.
\nThis event includes the total time in milliseconds for the world to load, whether this was a new world, as well as game version and platform details.
