Minecraft''s Latest Snapshot Adds Chat Reports to Ensure a Non-abuse-free Building

Minecraft is a game to be shared with your friends. Sometimes you''ll all be mucking into creating something amazing or perhaps playing with mods to recreate Elden Ring, and at times you''ll be exploring servers online to see what the internet holds for you. If you are online and playing with other players, sometimes things can be messy, and that appears to be what the latest Minecraft snapshot is attempting to fix.

Minecraft snapshot 22W24A is available now, and it''s building towards 1.19.1 by introducing several bug fixes as well as two new features. Chat reporting is the main feature. Plugins It allows you to report abusive messages in game chat. The blog states that "any reports made during testing times may not be processed," but that it is important to recognize that toxic players are a major part of any online game. This could be an important move.

Chat reporting can be found within the social interactions section, and you''ll have to report individual chat messages, and select a category for them too. This will help stop abuse of the system. You cannot create a generic report about an individual user. You must state what they did. The blog states that your report will be reviewed by a moderator team. It''s not possible to know what constitutes a real and actionable report but it''s worth knowing all about it.

Another significant change is that you are now able to duplicate the awesome Minecraft allay. This can be done by providing them with an amethyst-shard. However, duplication has an 2.5-minute cooling down. This will help ease the stress around the amount of allay mobs there are. Plus, there''s always more of a cute thing, right?

In more non-official news, we''re hugely fond of this Mario Kart mod for Minecraft. It adds the karts that you enjoy in Minecraft, but it also includes some cool aquatic features.
