Blocks

• The custom block json API has the following changes that will affect loading of block json with format version 1.26.20 and up:
  • General:
    • Namespace constraints have been tweaked but everything permitted before should still be valid.
      • This can affect the identifiers used for the block, states and menu category groups.
  • Block Traits:
    • Template:Cd trait, validation change: The rotation offset does not accept a 0.5 tolerance anymore.
      • Input value must be a multiple of Template:Cd.
      • The value must be in the range Template:Cd to Template:Cd inclusive.
    • Template:Cd now requires Template:Cd to be one of the Template:Cd for the Template:Cd trait.
  • Category:
    • Template:Cd, validation change: An empty Template:Cd value is not allowed.
      • The Template:Cd field can either exist with a non-empty value or not exist at all.
    • Template:Cd is now a required field, when using Template:Cd.
  • Components:
    • Template:Cd, validation change: It is restricted outside of root components object.
    • Template:Cd, validation change: The constraint on the Template:Cd identifier is strictly enforced now.
      • When using the minecraft namespace, the only currently available culling shape identifiers are: Template:Cd or Template:Cd.
      • When using no namespaces or a custom one, the names must start and end with an alpha-numeric character.
    • Template:Cd and Template:Cd, validation change: They now strictly enforce the value to be between Template:Cd and Template:Cd inclusive.
    • There is a breaking change to how tags are defined.
      • As of version 1.26.20, tags cannot freely live as top level entities in the components array.
        • They must live inside the Template:Cd component, which accepts an array of tags of the format:
          • Template:Cd.
      • The values must have the format Template:Cd.
        • They no longer need to be prefixed with Template:Cd.
          • None of the changes mentioned above were actually applied in this preview.

Minecraft:Components

• The Template:Cd component Template:Cd field now supports an additional value:
  • Template:Cd:
    • Damage is not applied to the entity.
    • Knockback and enchantments are applied.
    • The attacker's weapon is used as normal.
    • The entity does not flash red.

Entity components

• The behavior of the Template:Cd component now matches its description.
  • The higher its value, the more friction affects an entity:
    • Template:Cd means no friction.
    • Template:Cd means regular friction.
    • Template:Cd means double friction.
  • The component now affects ground friction only, and no longer partially affects air or liquid drag.
  • The legacy incorrect behavior can be re-enabled by adding the Template:Cd component.
    • This component is automatically added to all entities with a format version lower than 1.26.20, to ensure their behavior stays unaltered.
  • The component now properly works on players, and on other client-predicted entities.
• Added the Template:Cd component.
  • When present, air drag is applied uniformly on both the vertical and horizontal axes, instead of being biased toward horizontal movement.
• Added the Template:Cd component, which allows executing entity events when items are equipped or unequipped in specific equipment slots.
  • Contains a Template:Cd field with a list of entries, each with:
    • Template:Cd, the equipment slot to monitor.
    • Template:Cd, event to fire when a non-empty item is placed in the slot.
    • Template:Cd, event to fire when the slot is cleared.
  • When equipment changes, the first matching slot entry is used.

Entity filters

• Added the Template:Cd entity filter.
• Added the Template:Cd entity filter.

Minecraft:Features

• Added a boolean Template:Cd field to the Template:Cd feature.
  • When set to Template:Cd, it rotates the structure around its center when placing it in the world.

  • New format version is Template:Cd.
  • The fields Template:Cd and Template:Cd are now required.

Minecraft:World generation

• Can now use Template:Cd in jigsaw structure template pools in order to place features.
• Template:Cds can now connect to a Jigsaw block with any target name, rather than only Template:Cd.
  • However, it only connects to internal vanilla features.
