File:Straw Bed.png Minecraft:Straw bed

A new type of Minecraft:bed which can be used to sleep through the night without resetting the player's Minecraft:spawn point.
Can only be used once and is destroyed after use.
Cannot be used in the Minecraft:Nether or the Minecraft:End and will be destroyed upon attempt to use, without dropping as an item.
Won't be used by Minecraft:villagers, unlike other Minecraft:beds.
Generates naturally in Minecraft:abandoned camps.
4 straw beds are crafted with 3 Minecraft:hay bales.

Template:Crafting

Non-mob entities

Template:Animate Minecraft:Cushion

A new Minecraft:entity that players can interact with to sit on.
Has 16 variants, crafted with its respective variant of Minecraft:wool slab.

Template:Crafting

Can be placed on any flat surface.
- Always aligns horizontally to the grid, but vertically sit on top of the supporting surface.
- Breaks if the supporting block is removed.
Cannot be moved.
Does not have collision and can overlap with other objects except for other cushions.

Command format

Template:Cmd

Allows adding or removing Minecraft:post effects to players.
- These are post processing shaders that are applied to the player's screen, after the game has finished normal rendering.
Post effects exist on the client (in resource packs), not the server – the server cannot know if one will actually apply.
Post effects themselves were already part of the resource pack format, but only a few hardcoded ones were available to use.
Syntax:
- Template:Cmd – adds the post effect to the player, if it does not already exist.
- Template:Cmd – removes all post effects from the player, if any exist.
- Template:Cmd – lists all post effects applied to the player, if any exist.
- Template:Cmd – removes the post effect from the player, if it exists.

General

Minecraft:Data component format

Template:Cd
- Added optional boolean field Template:Cd.
  - Controls if the transformed block should update based on neighboring blocks.
  - Defaults to Template:Cd

Minecraft:Data pack

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

- Added Template:Cd – optional boolean; if set to Template:Cd, the bed will be destroyed when leaving it.
  - If omitted, defaults to Template:Cd

Minecraft:Item models

Minecraft:Loot tables

Multiple block loot tables now reference predicates for checking if a tool has Minecraft:Silk Touch and is Minecraft:shears instead of inlining a copy of those checks.

Minecraft:Predicate

Added vanilla predicates
- New entries added to previously empty-in-vanilla Template:Cd registry:
  - Template:Cd
  - Template:Cd
Potion predicates
- The Template:Cd data component predicate has been changed to allow matching on specific potion effects.
- The previous predicate format used a list of potion types, the new format allows for more refined matching.
- The following fields can be used in any combination, all are optional:
  - Template:Cd – A list of potion types or a potion tag to match.
  - Template:Cd – A collection predicate of Template:Cd predicates to match.
    - The collection predicate format is as follows:
      - Template:Cd – A list of Template:Cd predicates to match.
      - Template:Cd – A list of options for matching a specific number of mob effect predicates, which follow the same format as Template:Cd entity sub-predicate.
        Template:Cd – The Template:Cd predicate to match.
        
        Template:Cd – The number of matches required, or with Template:Cd and Template:Cd will match a range of counts.
      - Template:Cd – Require the mob effects list to have a specific size, or with Template:Cd and Template:Cd will match a range of sizes.
- The Template:Cd predicate format is a mapping of effect types to properties of that effect. All fields are optional, only provided fields will be used for matching:

   {
       "minecraft:<effect type>": {
         "duration": "<integer bounds representing a duration in ticks>",
         "amplifier": "<integer bounds>",
         "ambient": true/false,
         "visible": true/false
       }
   }

</syntaxhighlight>

Example of matching on several different effects and criteria:

     "effects": {
       "minecraft:jump_boost": {
         "duration": 3600,
         "amplifier": 5,
         "ambient": true,
         "visible": true
       },
       "minecraft:speed": {
         "duration": {
           "min": 360,
           "max": 3600
         },
         "amplifier": {
           "min": 2
         }
       },
       "minecraft:resistance": {}
     }

</syntaxhighlight>

Minecraft:Recipes

Potion brewing recipes
- Potion brewing recipes are now data-driven. New recipes can be added via Minecraft:data packs, and vanilla recipes may be modified.
- Brewing recipes use the minecraft:brewing type.
- The main contents are:
  - input – A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents data component predicate.
  - reagent – A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents data component predicate.
  - output – item stack, the resulting item.
- Example of a vanilla recipe:

<syntaxhighlight lang="json"> {

 "type": "minecraft:brewing",
 "input": {
   "item": "minecraft:potion",
   "potion_contents": {
     "potion": "minecraft:water"
   }
 },
 "output": {
   "components": {
     "minecraft:potion_contents": {
       "potion": "minecraft:awkward"
     }
   },
   "id": "minecraft:potion"
 },
 "reagent": {
   "item": "minecraft:nether_wart"
 }

} </syntaxhighlight>

Any items may be used in any of the 3 slots, e.g.:

<syntaxhighlight lang="json"> {

 "type": "minecraft:brewing",
 "input": { "item": "minecraft:bucket" },
 "output": { "id": "minecraft:sulfur_cube_bucket" },
 "reagent": { "item": "minecraft:potent_sulfur" }

} </syntaxhighlight>
