Additions

Blocks

File:Straw Bed.png Minecraft:Straw bed

• A new type of Minecraft:bed which can be used to sleep through the night without resetting the player's Minecraft:spawn point.
• Can only be used once and is destroyed after use.
• Cannot be used in the Minecraft:Nether or the Minecraft:End and will be destroyed upon attempt to use, without dropping as an item.
• Won't be used by Minecraft:villagers, unlike other Minecraft:beds.
• Generates naturally in Minecraft:abandoned camps.
• 4 straw beds are crafted with 3 Minecraft:hay bales.
• Can stack up to 16.

Non-mob entities

Template:Animate Minecraft:Cushion

• A new Minecraft:entity that players can interact with to sit on.
• Has 16 variants, crafted with its respective variant of Minecraft:wool slab.
• Can stack up to 16.

• Can be placed on any flat surface.
  • Always aligns horizontally to the grid, but vertically sit on top of the supporting surface.
  • Breaks if the supporting block is removed.
• Cannot be moved.
• Does not have collision and can overlap with other objects except for other cushions.

Command format

Template:Cmd

• Allows adding or removing Minecraft:post effects to players.
  • These are post processing shaders that are applied to the player's screen, after the game has finished normal rendering.
• Post effects exist on the client (in resource packs), not the server – the server cannot know if one will actually apply.
• Post effects themselves were already part of the resource pack format, but only a few hardcoded ones were available to use.
• Syntax:
  • Template:Cmd – adds the post effect to the player, if it does not already exist.
  • Template:Cmd – removes all post effects from the player, if any exist.
  • Template:Cmd – lists all post effects applied to the player, if any exist.
  • Template:Cmd – removes the post effect from the player, if it exists.

Minecraft:Loot tables

• Multiple block loot tables now reference predicates for checking if a tool has Minecraft:Silk Touch and is Minecraft:shears instead of inlining a copy of those checks.

Minecraft:Predicate

• Added vanilla predicates
  • New entries added to previously empty-in-vanilla Template:Cd registry:
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
• Potion predicates
  • The Template:Cd data component predicate has been changed to allow matching on specific potion effects.
  • The previous predicate format used a list of potion types, the new format allows for more refined matching.
  • The following fields can be used in any combination, all are optional:
    • Template:Cd – A list of potion types or a potion tag to match.
    • Template:Cd – A collection predicate of Template:Cd predicates to match.
      • The collection predicate format is as follows:
        • Template:Cd – A list of Template:Cd predicates to match.
        • Template:Cd – A list of options for matching a specific number of mob effect predicates, which follow the same format as Template:Cd entity sub-predicate.
          • Template:Cd – The Template:Cd predicate to match.
          • Template:Cd – The number of matches required, or with Template:Cd and Template:Cd will match a range of counts.
        • Template:Cd – Require the mob effects list to have a specific size, or with Template:Cd and Template:Cd will match a range of sizes.
  • The Template:Cd predicate format is a mapping of effect types to properties of that effect. All fields are optional, only provided fields will be used for matching:

<syntaxhighlight lang="json">

   {
       "minecraft:<effect type>": {
         "duration": "<integer bounds representing a duration in ticks>",
         "amplifier": "<integer bounds>",
         "ambient": true/false,
         "visible": true/false
       }
   }

</syntaxhighlight>

• Example of matching on several different effects and criteria:

<syntaxhighlight lang="json">

     "effects": {
       "minecraft:jump_boost": {
         "duration": 3600,
         "amplifier": 5,
         "ambient": true,
         "visible": true
       },
       "minecraft:speed": {
         "duration": {
           "min": 360,
           "max": 3600
         },
         "amplifier": {
           "min": 2
         }
       },
       "minecraft:resistance": {}
     }

</syntaxhighlight>

Minecraft:Recipes

• Potion brewing recipes
  • Potion brewing recipes are now data-driven. New recipes can be added via Minecraft:data packs, and vanilla recipes may be modified.

    • input – A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents data component predicate.
    • reagent – A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents data component predicate.
    • output – item stack, the resulting item.
  • Example of a vanilla recipe:

<syntaxhighlight lang="json"> {

 "type": "minecraft:brewing",
 "input": {
   "item": "minecraft:potion",
   "potion_contents": {
     "potion": "minecraft:water"
   }
 },
 "output": {
   "components": {
     "minecraft:potion_contents": {

     }
   },

 }

} </syntaxhighlight>
