23w07a is the fifth and final snapshot for Java Edition 1.19.4, released on February 15, 2023,^[1] which adds the sniffer, cherry groves, and archaeology under experimental features, and fixes bugs.

Interaction

• A new type of entity that records attacks and interactions. Interactions (interaction) are invisible and of a custom size, with following fields:
  • width: Width of the entity's bounding box (default is 1).
  • height: Height of the entity's bounding box (default is 1).
  • attack: An action object, records the last attack action on the entity.
  • interaction: An action object, records the last interaction action on the entity.
  • response: Boolean specifying if interacting should trigger a response (arm swing, sound effects, etc - default false).
• Introduced action object accordingly. When an action is stored, it always has two fields:
  • player: The UUID (in standard integer array format) of the player performing the action.
  • timestamp: The timestamp of the game tick when the event happened (stored as a long).
• This made following command usage possible:
  • Execute command as the last player who attacked the entity when using /execute on attacker.
  • Execute command as the last player who interacted with the entity when using /execute on target.
• Advancement triggers also got triggered, when:
  • Interacting with an interaction entity: player_interacted_with_entity.
  • Attacking an interaction entity: player_hurt_entity.
