Changes

Blocks

General

• Numeric block IDs no longer exist; there is no longer a limit to distinct possible block IDs.
• Blocks with a collision box now have matching bounding boxes.
  • Affected: Minecraft:anvils, Minecraft:brewing stands, Minecraft:cauldrons, Minecraft:fences, filled Minecraft:end portal frames, Minecraft:glass panes, Minecraft:hoppers, Minecraft:iron bars, Minecraft:lily pads, Minecraft:pistons, Minecraft:stairs, and Minecraft:vines
  • Updated the collision box of anvils and hoppers.
  • Does not affect blocks with a collision box smaller than their Minecraft:model, such as Minecraft:soul sand and Minecraft:snow layers.
• Blocks now emit the block breaking particles according to their size.
• The outline for block hitboxes can now have other shapes than just one cuboid. This causes the outline of stairs and other blocks to match with the hitbox.

Minecraft:Banners

Minecraft:Beds

• Now require a block below it as a support.
  • Previously, this was only required when placing the bed and the block could be destroyed afterward without the bed being destroyed.

General

The "flattening"

• Numeric block metadata completely phased out in favor of block states.
• Split, merged, created, deleted, and renamed a lot of Minecraft:blocks, block states, block entities and Minecraft:items.
  • Blocks and items previously differing because of damage value have gotten their own ID, for example white_wool instead of wool:0
  • Damage has been moved to the tag tag and is only used by tools, armor and maps.
  • Files and commands no longer use data or set_data.

Minecraft:Statistics

• Are being updated.
  • stat.(stat) is now minecraft.custom:minecraft.(stat).
  • stat.(stat).minecraft.(block/item/entity ID) is now minecraft.(stat):minecraft.(block/item/entity ID).
