DDUI

• Added Template:Cd to Template:Cd within Template:Cd so the slider display can format to a certain decimal point.
• Released Template:Cd and Template:Cd to version 2.2.0 of Template:Cd.

Entity components

• Added Template:Cd teleportation fields to the Template:Cd component.
  • Template:Cd determines whether the entity attempts to teleport away from an incoming projectile and defaults to Template:Cd.
  • Template:Cd defines the conditions an incoming projectile must meet to trigger a teleport attempt.
• Added type families to vanilla projectile entities.
  • All vanilla projectile entities now include the Template:Cd family.
  • Each projectile includes a type-specific family, such as Template:Cd, Template:Cd, or Template:Cd.
• The Template:Cd field on the Template:Cd component is now defaulted to false with format version 1.26.50 and above while remaining defaulted to true otherwise.
• Made the schema for Template:Cd stricter for format version 1.26.50 and later.
• Immunity to the freezing from Minecraft:powder snow is no longer hardcoded at runtime and is instead defined by the Template:Cd component.
  • The following mobs will be upgraded to automatically have this component:
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
  • All non-mob entities are implicitly immune.
• The ambient sounds of entities are no longer redefined at runtime and instead respect the conditions defined by Template:Cd.
  • Previously the ambient sound event name of an entity would be overwritten in these conditions:
    • If its head was in water then it would become Template:Cd.
    • If it was not on the ground then it would become Template:Cd.
    • If it would otherwise play ambient sounds and it was a baby then it would become Template:Cd.
  • If any of these conditions were true then it would override any user-defined entry in the Template:Cd parameter of Template:Cd.
  • Now this will no longer happen and only the event name specified by Template:Cd will be used.
  • Entities defined in any older version will fall back to the original overriding path as a Template:Cd component will be added.
  • The Template:Cd is deprecated as users should now specify the indended behavior in Template:Cd.
• Deprecated Template:Cd's Template:Cd field in favor of a spatial check that determines when the projectile has left its shooter's vehicle hierarchy.
  • Projectiles can now only hit the entity that shot them, or entities in the same vehicle hierarchy (such as the shooter's mount), after they have spatially left that hierarchy.

Minecraft:Features

• Added the Template:Cd feature which places features based on a collection of conditions evaluated in order.
  • The Template:Cd field is an array of objects, each containing a Template:Cd reference and an optional Molang condition expression.
  • The Template:Cd field controls when evaluation stops: Template:Cd stops at the first condition that passes, Template:Cd stops at the first successful placement, and Template:Cd (default) evaluates all entries without stopping early.
• Added the Template:Cd that places an ordered column made of 1–4 block types: Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd, and Template:Cd.
  • Its default growth direction is Template:Cd.
• The blocks used depend on the generated column height:
  • 1 block: Template:Cd
  • 2 blocks: Template:Cd + Template:Cd
  • 3 blocks: Template:Cd + Template:Cd + Template:Cd
  • 4+ blocks: Template:Cd + one or more Template:Cd + Template:Cd + Template:Cd
  • The restrictions include: Template:Cd which restricts valid placement surfaces and Template:Cd to restrict which existing blocks may be replaced (omit to allow any).
• A new value, Template:Cd, to the field Template:Cd has been added to the schema of Template:Cd, which allows the feature to be snapped to walls as well as ceilings and floors.
• A new field Template:Cd has been added to the schema of Template:Cd, which allows specifying whether the snapped feature can be snapped through solid blocks.
  • If the snap is started inside a block that is not water or air, this field decides if the feature can snap out of it.
• Renamed the field Template:Cd to Template:Cd in the schema for Template:Cd.

Minecraft:Loot tables

• Added the optional operator field to all loot table conditions, allowing control of whether the condition's result is used directly or negated.
  • Template:Cd and Template:Cd apply when the condition evaluates to Template:Cd.
  • Template:Cd and Template:Cd apply when the condition evaluates to Template:Cd
  • Omitting operator preserves the existing behavior and is equivalent to using Template:Cd.

Mobs

• Many mob properties are no longer saved if their values are the default.

Minecraft:Molang

• Added Template:Cd world generation Molang query that returns Template:Cd if the biome at the current placement position has all of the specified tags.
• Added Template:Cd world generation Molang query that returns Template:Cd if the biome at the current placement position has at least one of the specified tags.
• Added new query Template:Cd which checks if the head of the entity is in water.

Packs

• System packs are now sorted into alpha-numeric ordering before being added to the stack.

Script Debugger

• Added the Template:Cd server property; script debugger listen mode now binds to loopback by default, and non-loopback listen addresses require a configured passcode.
