  • Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd

Minecraft:API

• Released Template:Cd from beta to scripts version Template:Cd.
• Changed Template:Cd -> Template:Cd, Template:Cd -> Template:Cd, and added Template:Cd property to Template:Cd in Template:Cd beta.
  • Template:Cd is functionally identical to Template:Cd but is no longer accessed via Template:Cd, uses Template:Cd instead.

Blocks

• Released Template:Cd trait.

• Custom Minecraft:stairs can now form corners with vanilla stairs outside of beta.

Minecraft:Block components

• Minecraft:Fences:

Entity components

• Made the following changes to the Template:Cd component:
  • Renamed Template:Cd to Template:Cd.
  • Template:Cd is no longer scaled by Template:Cd internally.
    • Similar values for Template:Cd and Template:Cd now produce similar knockback on both axes.
  • Deprecated the following fields:
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
  • Added a new field, Template:Cd, which provides more intuitive control over how knockback is applied:
    • Template:Cd (default): Applies knockback along the horizontal direction from attacker to target.
    • Template:Cd: Applies knockback based on the hit direction and point of impact (for example, hits from below push upward, and hits on the left side push to the right).
  • The component is no longer in beta.

Minecraft:Features

• Added content error when loading features with identifiers that already exist within the same behavior pack.

Minecraft:Item components

• Updated item schema validation so Template:Cd now requires at least one component entry for item documents in Template:Cd and Template:Cd.

Changes

Technical

Minecraft:Add-ons

Minecraft:API

• Changed property name Template:Cd on Template:Cd class to Template:Cd in Template:Cd in beta.
• Added the property Template:Cd to Template:Cd's Template:Cd in beta.
• Added the enum Template:Cd to Template:Cd in Template:Cd.

• Changed the Template:Cd method Template:Cd of Template:Cd's Template:Cd to have restricted execution privilege.

Graphical

• Removed the Point Light Shadow Quality slider and merged its functionality into the Point Light Quality slider.

Minecraft:Jigsaw structures

• A Jigsaw Structure's layout will now be persisted to disk if any intersecting chunks are saved. This makes partially saved Jigsaw Structures less prone to breaking because of configuration changes. The feature will be incrementally rolled out to online devices and Realms.
