  • Added rotation configuration on Template:Cd: the enabled rotation axes, the rotation origin offset, a preferred ring radius, and a visual-only step.

      • Template:Cd: The radius of the horizontal square of blocks placed by the trail, centered on spawn_offset. Accepts values from Template:Cd to Template:Cd; Template:Cd uses the legacy four-corner placement behavior.
      • Template:Cd: When Template:Cd, replaces blocks matching Template:Cd even when normal block placement rules would prevent placement. Defaults to Template:Cd.

Minecraft:UI

• Bitmap fonts can now configure ASCII glyph cell height and vertical offset in an optional JSON file beside their first ASCII atlas, using Template:Cd and Template:Cd.
