A Minecraft Java Snapshot
MINECRAFT SNAPSHOT 23W44A In this week’s Snapshot, we’re taking a break from new features to improve ones we’ve already added, including fixes to Commands and the ability to use Loot Tables with Decorated Pots.

CHANGE
Copper Trapdoors and doors include new textures.
CHANGES IN TECHNICAL
- It is now Data Pack version 23.
PACKAGE DATA VERSION 23
Now that loot tables are available, decorated pots will read from the LootTable tag key.
Further modifications to command functionality
COMMANDS
TICK
- In the tick step command, the parameter is now optional. One is the default value. The updates that will be available at the most recent Version were revealed by Mojang. MINECRAFT 23W45A SNAPSHOT.
RETURN
- Now, the return run will always return.
- The function that contains the return run will fail if the returned command returns no valid results (i.e., success=0 and result=0).
Previously, the return run would always set the success to 1, but it will now propagate the success value along with the results value. - The return run now supports storing values as well; to store and return a value outside of a function, simply perform store… run return run some_command.
- To have the entire function fail, a new subcommand called return fail is introduced (i.e., return success=0 and result=0).
PURPOSE
- Execution will end after the first return in any of the functions if function runs multiple functions in conjunction with the return run.
- When the function command is performed with a return run, it will always return after a single call.
- Return run executes [split context], for instance, the run function will always return following the initial context’s processing.
IF | UNLESS FUNCTION EXECUTE
If all functions have no return, the if|unless function will no longer always fail.
- If the invoked functions return nothing, then it will fail unless will passes.
- Any called function that returns first will return (for a single context)
