  • Template:Cmd - Clears all queued functions that are scheduled as Template:Cd by name.
  • Template:Cmd - Clears all queued functions that are scheduled as Template:Cd by ticking area name (and optionally also checks function name too).

Components

• The Template:Cd field has been added to the Template:Cd component, allowing to define how an entity is restricted to its home position:
  • Its values are:
    • Template:Cd, which poses no restriction.
    • Template:Cd, which restricts randomized movement around the home position.
    • Template:Cd, which restricts any kind of movement around the home position.
  • The Template:Cd value is currently in Template:Cd and is planned to be fully released at a later date.
  • Entities that have moved too far from their home can always move closer to it if prompted.
  • The radius of the restriction is still specified with Template:Cd.
  • Entities with a format version prior to Template:Cd use the new field in a way that preserves their existing behavior.
• Added the Template:Cd component, which prevents entities from changing dimension through portals.
  • In Vanilla content, this is used by the Ender Dragon, the fishing hook, and some projectiles.
• Added the Template:Cd component, entities with this component are never saved. In Vanilla content, this is currently used for the fishing hook.
• Renamed the Template:Cd component to Template:Cd to better reflect its functionality:
  • Its Template:Cd field was also renamed to Template:Cd.
  • Its Template:Cd field was also renamed to Template:Cd.
• Expanded the Template:Cd component functionality with the addition of six new [Beta] fields:
  • Template:Cd restricts the search for entities looking at the owner entity to players only, ensuring that the closest player satisfying the specified Template:Cd is selected.
  • Template:Cd defines the parts of the owner entity that are targeted for being looked at:
    • For these parts, a line-of-sight check is performed to ensure no blocks obstruct the view.
    • Supported values are Template:Cd, Template:Cd, and Template:Cd.
  • Template:Cd specifies the event to trigger when no suitable entity is looking at the owner entity.
  • Template:Cd defines the width of the field of view, in degrees, for entities looking at the owner entity:
    • If Template:Cd is set to true, this value corresponds to the field of view at a distance of one block between the entities.
  • Template:Cd determines if the field of view narrows as the distance between the owner entity and the entity looking at it increases.
    • This ensures that the width of the view cone at the owner entity position remains relatively constant, regardless of distance.
  • Template:Cd defines which block shape is considered when checking for line-of-sight obstructions.
    • Supported values are Template:Cd, Template:Cd, and Template:Cd.
  • Moreover, Template:Cd now supports three different values:
    • Template:Cd, looking entities are never set as targets, but events are emitted.
    • Template:Cd, the first detected looking entity is set as target, but scanning and event emission is suspended if and until the owner entity has a target.
    • [Beta] Template:Cd, the first detected looking entity is set as target, but scanning and event emission continues.
  • All these fields are planned to be taken out of [Beta] and fully released at a later date.
• Moved the Template:Cd component out of the Upcoming Creator Features experiment for Template:Cd Template:Cd and above.
• The Template:Cd component's Template:Cd field now supports three values:
  • Template:Cd, received damage is applied to the entity.
  • Template:Cd, received damage is not applied to the entity.
  • Template:Cd, received damage is not applied to the entity, but the side effects of the attack are.
    • This means that the attacker's weapon loses durability, enchantment side effects are applied, etc.
  • Pre-existing content are automatically updated to maintain its original behavior.
• Removed support for the Template:Cd field from the Template:Cd.
  • This field never had any functionality, so this change won't affect pre-existing or future content in any way.
  • The field is ignored for any content with a format version lower than 1.21.40.
  • A content error is emitted for any content with a format version equal to or higher than 1.21.40 that still uses this field.

Entity Components

• Template:Cd is no longer usable if it is missing a projectile definition and throws a content error if so.
• Expanded Template:Cd with the following new fields:
  • Template:Cd: A scale factor applied to the explosion's damage to entities. A value of 0 prevents the explosion from dealing any damage. Negative values cause the explosion to heal entities instead:
  • Template:Cd: If true, the explosion toggles blocks in the explosion radius.
  • Template:Cd: A scale factor applied to the knockback force caused by the explosion.
  • Template:Cd: The name of the particle effect to use. The accepted strings are Template:Cd or Template:Cd. All other inputs use the default explosion particles.
  • Template:Cd: The name of the sound effect played when the explosion triggers.
  • Template:Cd: Defines whether the explosion should apply fall damage negation to players above the point of collision.
  • Template:Cd: If true, the explosion affects blocks and entities underwater.

Entity Event Responses

• Added the Template:Cd entity event response, which allows the entity to execute an event on the block at its home position:
  • The Template:Cd field allows to specify the event to execute.
  • For this to work properly, the entity must have a Template:Cd component with a set home position.
• Added the Template:Cd entity event response, which allows an entity to reset its target.

Minecraft:Feature

• Using unsupported feature placement in Template:Cd throws a content error instead of crash.

General

• Made the following changes to Template:Cd:
  • Template:Cd now supports a list of weighted block specifiers.
  • New Template:Cd property.
  • New Template:Cd placement conditions.
  • Added Template:Cd as a new option for Template:Cd conditions.
  • File format version increased to Template:Cd.

Graphical

• Add new Template:Cd as the first new type of file to contain per-biome rendering and audio settings in resource packs.
• Starting with base game version 1.21.40, built-in Template:Cd files are no longer loaded. That file from other packs continue to be loaded. Water and fog settings are now in individual Template:Cd files in resource packs. When both Template:Cd and the individual Template:Cd file specify competing values, the loaded Template:Cd from creator content have priority.

Minecraft:Items

• The Template:Cd object is parsed with a strict loader from Template:Cd:
  • Numbers and booleans are no longer interchangeable in the JSON input.
  • Floating point numbers are no longer accepted where an integer is expected.
• The Template:Cd, and Template:Cd item components have been de-experimentified.
