Technical

Minecraft:Behavior Packs

• Updated references to old block names in behavior pack wood recipe files.
• Updated references to old block names in remaining behavior pack recipe files.

Minecraft:Blocks

• Added content warning when Template:Cd or Template:Cd are incorrectly written in Template:Cd.

Components

• Renamed the Template:Cd component to Template:Cd to better reflect its functionality:
  • Its Template:Cd field was also renamed to Template:Cd.
  • Its Template:Cd field was also renamed to Template:Cd.
• Expanded the Template:Cd component functionality with the addition of six new [Beta] fields:
  • Template:Cd restricts the search for entities looking at the owner entity to players only, ensuring that the closest player satisfying the specified Template:Cd is selected.
  • Template:Cd defines the parts of the owner entity that are targeted for being looked at:
    • For these parts, a line-of-sight check is performed to ensure no blocks obstruct the view.
    • Supported values are Template:Cd, Template:Cd, and Template:Cd.
  • Template:Cd specifies the event to trigger when no suitable entity is looking at the owner entity.
  • Template:Cd defines the width of the field of view, in degrees, for entities looking at the owner entity:
    • If Template:Cd is set to true, this value corresponds to the field of view at a distance of one block between the entities.
  • Template:Cd determines if the field of view narrows as the distance between the owner entity and the entity looking at it increases.
    • This ensures that the width of the view cone at the owner entity position remains relatively constant, regardless of distance.
  • Template:Cd defines which block shape is considered when checking for line-of-sight obstructions.
    • Supported values are Template:Cd, Template:Cd, and Template:Cd.
  • Moreover, Template:Cd now supports three different values:
    • Template:Cd, looking entities are never set as targets, but events are emitted.
    • Template:Cd, the first detected looking entity is set as target, but scanning and event emission is suspended if and until the owner entity has a target.
    • [Beta] Template:Cd, the first detected looking entity is set as target, but scanning and event emission continues.
  • All these fields are planned to be taken out of [Beta] and fully released at a later date.

Entity Event Responses

• Added the Template:Cd entity event response, which allows an entity to reset its target.

Minecraft:Feature

• Using unsupported feature placement in Template:Cd will now throw a content error instead of crash.

Graphical

• Add new Template:Cd as the first new type of file to contain per-biome rendering and audio settings in resource packs.

Minecraft:Items

• The Template:Cd object is parsed with a strict loader from Template:Cd:
  • Numbers and booleans are no longer interchangeable in the JSON input.
  • Floating point numbers are no longer accepted where an integer is expected.
