Mobs

General

  • Persistent mobs' random walk/swim behaviors will now deactivate when players are not nearby, in the same way as non-persistent mobs.

Minecraft:Drowned

  • Drowned with Minecraft:tridents will now use a melee attack if the player is within 3 blocks of them to match Template:BE.
    • This attack deals a base attack damage of 16, which means Template:Hp to an unarmored player.

  • Paintings with custom names now also show those names when the player looks at them in the world.

Command format

General

Template:Cmd

  • Added new Template:Cd condition sub-command.
    • Counts the number of slots from the slot source that are present on the targeted block or entity.
    • The slot source will be evaluated with the Template:Cd loot type.
    • Syntax:
  • The items condition sub-command now takes a slot source as argument instead of a slot.

Template:Cmd

  • When the amount of items passed to the give command is above limit, the command will now signal an error instead of just printing an error message and returning Template:Cd.

Template:Cmd

  • Now takes a slot source as argument in place of anywhere a slot was previously used.
    • It will be evaluated with the Template:Cd loot type.
    • Can be a slot source in either inline or reference form.
    • Can be a slot source targeting multiple slots.
    • The Template:Cd sub-command has new semantics:
      • One by one in the order they are provided by the slot source, the contents of each destination slot are replaced with the corresponding source item.
      • When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the remaining slots are ignored.
      • When there are fewer destination slots than there are source items, the remaining items are ignored.
    • String notation slot ranges in the form Template:Cd or Template:Cd are still permitted.
  • The entity argument in the Template:Cd item source can now be a selector targeting multiple entities.
    • When more than a single entity is targeted, the slots sourced from each are concatenated.
  • Added new Template:Cd and Template:Cd sub-commands, each with syntax identical to Template:Cmd.
    • Template:Cmd
      • Fills each destination slot with a source item.
      • When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the items repeat until every slot is filled.
    • Template:Cmd
      • Overrides the contents of each destination slot with the corresponding source item.
      • When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the remaining slots are cleared.

Template:Cmd

  • The result of Template:Cmd and Template:Cmd subcommands now reflects the exact count of entities that have joined or left (i.e. excluding entities for which teams have not changed).

Template:Cmd

  • The Template:Cd component in a raw chat message will only be resolved up to 64k times.

Template:Cmd

Gameplay

Minecraft:Advancements

    • The format of inline material definitions has been updated
    • Trim Materials
      • The format of elements in the Template:Cd registry has been updated:
        • Template:Cd has been replaced with palette - Palette Texture ID to be used for this material.
        • Template:Cd has been removed, overrides are now defined in the Resource Pack Equipment Asset.

Minecraft:Data pack

Minecraft:Features

  • The Template:Cd registry has moved to Template:Cd and configuration is now done inline in the root object rather than separated into a config field.
  • Changed the Template:Cd feature type
    • Renamed from Template:Cd.
      • Now exposes more control over the feature.
      • Places blocks randomly in an area starting at the origin, each block placing so it has exactly one accepted neighbor.

  • Changed the Template:Cd feature type
    • Renamed from minecraft:basalt_columns.
      • Now exposes more control over the feature functionality.
    • Format changes:
      • Added the field Template:Cd: Block state provider for which block to place.
      • Added the field Template:Cd: Block predicate for which blocks can be replaced by the column.
      • Added the field Template:Cd: Block predicate for which pre-existing blocks to accept as part of a column.
      • Added the field Template:Cd: Block ID, list of block IDs or hash-prefixed block tag ID representing which blocks are avoided when starting placement.

Minecraft:Noise settings

  • The Template:Cd field has been renamed to Template:Cd
    • Format: inline Material Rule or Material Rule ID reference.
  • Spawn Target
    • The Template:Cd field has been updated to allow use of any density function, instead of just a subset of those defined within the Template:Cd field.
    • The suitability of a candidate spawn position is determined by evaluating, in some arbitrary n-dimensional space, the squared Euclidean distance to a set of target hypercubes.
    • For example, one axis might be temperature and the second erosion - and suitability determined by distance to the square between Template:Cd, Template:Cd and Template:Cd, Template:Cd. This would prefer any candidate spawn within those ranges equally, while penalizing candidate spawns very far out of that range.
    • Format: list of target hypercubes
      • Target format: map between Density Function ID and a range on that axis:
        • Range is specified as one of:
          • Float, an exact target value.
          • Array of 2 floats, a range of target values in form Template:Cd.
          • An object with fields:
            • Template:Cd - float, the minimum value of the target range.
            • Template:Cd - float, the maximum value of the target range.
