Additions

Gameplay

Minecraft:Game rule

• Added projectilesCanBreakBlocks, to control whether impact projectiles will destroy blocks that are destructible by them (i.e. Minecraft:chorus flowers, Minecraft:pointed dripstone and Minecraft:decorated pots). Defaults to true.

Changes

Blocks

Minecraft:Chorus Flower

• Now can be destroyed by any projectile, which will no longer disappear after impact.

Minecraft:Decorated Pot

• Updated the shatter, break, and step sounds to be "smashier".

General

Minecraft:Loading world screen

• Now displays 3 categories of tips based on player progression.

Mobs

Minecraft:Bat

• Their model, animations, and texture have been updated.

General

• Mobs on fire no longer spread Minecraft:fire to their target when holding something in their main hand.
• Changed mob attack reach calculation.
  • In horizontal directions, mobs' attack reach are now their bounding box extended in horizontal directions, instead of using horizontal width to determine.
    • For example, a ravager won't be able to attack through a few block thick walls.
  • In vertical directions, mobs' attack reach are now the exact vertical range of their bounding box. When there's no overlap between their bounding box and their target's bounding box in vertical direction, they can not attack, in specific:
    • Riding a medium-sized mob (e.g. horse) can get rid of attacks from short mobs (e.g. baby zombie).
    • Riding a tall mob (e.g. camel) can get rid of attacks from standard size mobs (e.g. zombie).
    • Some mob's reaching height now extended (e.g. enderman, safety height changed from 1.5 to 3).

Experimental

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Update 1.21" and "Beta APIs" experimental toggles.
