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, brewing stands, Minecraft:cauldrons, Minecraft:fences, filled end portal frames, glass panes, Minecraft:hoppers, iron bars, 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 model, such as 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

• Now make a sound when placed.

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.

• Renamed "Button" to "Stone Button".

Cacti

Minecraft:Chests and trapped chests

• Can now be put directly next to their double variants instead of requiring one block between them.
  • Shift right-clicking a chest or trapped chest next to a chest or trapped chest respectively doesn't make the two chests or 2 trapped chests combine into a double chest or double trapped chest.

Gameplay

Minecraft:Creative inventory

• Because of The Flattening, certain blocks and items have been moved around in their respective groups, for example, the purpur block is now after Minecraft:obsidian.
• Mushroom blocks, Minecraft:farmland and grass path are added to the inventory, under the Decoration Blocks group; blank firework rockets are added to the Miscellaneous group; and bark, smooth stone, sandstone, red sandstone and quartz are added to the Building Blocks group.

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.

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).

Superflat customization

• Preset strings no longer use a version number.
