Template:Cd

  • Template:Cd is different than other events because the callback it accepts returns a promise. Once the promise is resolved, the player will join the world, or if the promise is rejected the player will be disconnected without joining the server. The player will be at the loading screen while the promise is pending.

Blocks

• When Custom Components V2 experiment is enabled, Template:Cd component is deprecated in Template:Cd and higher format versions.
• When Custom Components V2 experiment is enabled, custom components are flattened inline with other components and allow parameters in Template:Cd and higher format versions. Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="c++"> "components": {

   "example_namespace:example_component": {
       "someParam": 3,
       "anotherParam": "test"
   }

}</syntaxhighlight>

Cameras

• Changed approach for the easing between moving targets under the Experimental Creator Camera Features toggle.

Experiments

• Added Drop 2 2025 experiment.

Graphical

• Added a new lighting model for clouds in the Deferred Technical Preview. The lighting parameters can not be configured at this time.
• Increased the range of cloud rendering in the Deferred Technical Preview.
• Added pixelated reflections to the Deferred Technical Preview. This new effect will cause reflections to align to the texel grid of textures in the world.
• Added pixelated shadows to the Deferred Technical Preview. This new effect can be controlled with the new shadows JSON schema, Template:Cd. This file adds new settings that control the style of shadows in the game. Available parameters are Template:Cd, which can be Template:Cd or Template:Cd, and Template:Cd. Template:Cd are the default style, while Template:Cd results in shadows that are pixelated in appearance. When Template:Cd are enabled, Template:Cd controls the size of the pixelation effect. Template:Cd should be equivalent to the block texture size in order to achieve a one to one mapping between the pixels in a texture and the pixelated effect created by enabling Template:Cd, but this is not required. An example version of what Template:Cd could look like is as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="c++"> {

 "format_version": "1.21.80",
 "minecraft:shadow_settings": {
  "shadow_style": "blocky_shadows",
  "texel_size": 16
 }

}</syntaxhighlight>

Items

• When Custom Components V2 experiment is enabled, minecraft:custom_components component is deprecated in Template:Cd and higher format versions.

  "example_namespace:example_component": {
      "someParam": 3,
      "anotherParam": "test"
  }

}</syntaxhighlight>
