=== Command format ===
'''{{cmd|fetchprofile}}'''
* Added a new entity subcommand that will print profile information from entity in world.
** Syntax: {{cmd|fetchprofile entity <single entity selector>}}
**If targeted entity does not have profile (currently only Players and Mannequins do) this command will fail.

=== General ===
'''General'''
* Tweaked default JVM options.
** Decreased the initial heap size to 2GB.

* Added a new entry called {{cd|detailed_memory}} with additional information about used memory.

'''[[Minecraft:Text component format]]'''
* {{cd|minecraft:nbt}}
** Tags resolved with the {{cd|minecraft:nbt}} text component when the {{cd|interpret}} field is set to {{cd|false}} are now pretty-printed instead of being flattened into a single {{cd|text}} component.
** Contents of the {{cd|nbt}} and {{cd|block}} fields are no longer silently rejected when parsing fails.
** The field {{cd|entity}} no longer accepts trailing data after a selector.
** A new option called {{cd|plain}} has been added to remove styling from pretty-printed text.
*** The {{cd|plain}} and {{cd|interpret}} options can't both be enabled at the same time.

* {{cd|minecraft:selector}}
** The field {{cd|selector}} no longer accepts trailing data after a selector.

'''[[Minecraft:User interface]]'''
* Input Method Editors (IME) candidates will now be shown in-game (on supported platforms, currently Windows and macOS) above currently edited text field.
* Fullscreen no longer uses exclusive mode.
