== Changes ==

'''[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]'''
* Naturally-spawned small sulfur cubes now have the correct size.
* The outer texture of the sulfur cube has been updated.
* Can now spawn on Peaceful difficulty.
* Added sounds for when using a [[Minecraft:bucket]] on a sulfur cube.

=== World generation ===
'''[[Minecraft:Sulfur caves]]'''
* [[Minecraft:Granite]] and [[Minecraft:tuff]] are now dispersed between sulfur and cinnabar.

'''[[Minecraft:Sulfur Spike (feature)|Sulfur spike]]'''

'''[[Minecraft:Data pack]]'''
* The [[Minecraft:pack format]] version is now {{cd|103.0}}.

'''[[Minecraft:Predicate]]s'''

** Slime sub-predicate has been renamed from {{cd|minecraft:type_specific/slime}} to {{cd|minecraft:type_specific/cube_mob}}.

'''[[Minecraft:Resource pack]]'''
* The version is now {{cd|86.1}}.

'''[[Minecraft:Telemetry]]'''
* New required events: {{cd|graphics_capabilities}}
** This is a new event that posts on startup, and informs developers of the capabilities of the graphics device used to play the game.
** Added new property: {{cd|backend_name}}
*** This will be {{cd|Vulkan}} or {{cd|OpenGL}}, and will help developers understand which graphics api players are using.
** Added new property: {{cd|backend_failure_reason}}
*** This will be a list of short error codes, for example {{cd|vulkan_device_version_too_low}}, which will help developers identify any issues with the targeted Vulkan requirements.
** Added new property: {{cd|backend_failure_message}}
*** This will be a short and vague messages, such as {{cd|Failed to find the GLFW platform surface extensions}}, which will help developers narrow down issues if players are experiencing issues running with Vulkan.
** Added new property: {{cd|backend_failure_missing_capabilities}}
*** This will be a list of missing capabilities from Vulkan, for example {{cd|VULKAN_CORE_1_2, VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering}}, which will help developers know which capabilities players would need in order to use Vulkan.

'''[[Minecraft:Texture atlas]]'''
* The {{cd|minecraft:beds}} atlas has been removed.
