General

Minecraft:Block entity data

• The Template:Cd block entity has been removed.

Minecraft:Data pack

• The Minecraft:pack format version is now Template:Cd.

Minecraft:Items model definition

• The Template:Cd special model type has been removed, now being treated as a normal block.

Minecraft:Predicates

• The Entity predicate format has changed from a structure with multiple optional fields to one similar to data component maps.
  • For example, previously Template:Cd was an optional field:

<syntaxhighlight lang=json> {

   "effects": {...}

} </syntaxhighlight>

• In this version it has become a component-like sub-predicate entry:

<syntaxhighlight lang=json> {

   "minecraft:effects": {...}

} </syntaxhighlight>

• The main functional changes are:
  • All keys in entity predicates are now identifiers.
    • Since identifiers can be written without namespace (default to Template:Cd namespace), existing field names are still valid.
    • Exception: field Template:Cd has been renamed to Template:Cd.
  • Unrecognized sub-predicate components are now rejected (previously unknown fields were ignored).
• Existing type-specific sub-predicates have been renamed and moved to top-level.
  • Template:Cd to Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd to Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd to Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd to Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd to Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd to Template:Cd as it now includes Minecraft:sulfur cubes in addition to Minecraft:slimes and Minecraft:magma cubes.

For example: <syntaxhighlight lang=json> {

 "type_specific": {
   "type": "minecraft:player",
   "looking_at": {
     "type": "minecraft:ender_dragon"
   }
 }

} </syntaxhighlight> becomes <syntaxhighlight lang=json> {

 "minecraft:type_specific/player": {
   "looking_at": {
     "minecraft:entity_type": "minecraft:ender_dragon"
   }
 }

} </syntaxhighlight>

• Added Template:Cd entity sub-predicate.
  • This predicate matches entity tags (i.e. ones set with the Template:Cmd command).
  • Fields:
    • Template:Cd - optional list of strings, if present the matched entity must have at least one of the listed tags.
    • Template:Cd - optional list of strings, if present the matched entity must have all the listed tags.
    • Template:Cd - optional list of strings, if present the matched entity must have none of the listed tags.
