Technical

Minecraft:Biomes

Client Biome Components

• Add Template:Cd component to override color for Template:Cd tint method.

Minecraft:Blocks

• Add Template:Cd tint method which uses the Template:Cd color map.
• Exposed the block component Template:Cd as a JSON object. This represents the particles used when the block is destroyed.
  • There is two fields for it:
    • Template:Cd is a required string field to set the texture used by the particles.
    • Template:Cd is an optional string field that multiplies the texture color with a predefined tint. Default to Template:Cd. Supported values are Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd and Template:Cd.
  • Block format before 1.21.70 will be upgraded to have the component added using the texture from the Template:Cd or Template:Cd of the Template:Cd component if present and Template:Cd for Template:Cd. This was the old behavior.
  • Block format from 1.21.70 without the component will not be upgraded and uses the invalid texture. Examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang="c++">

"minecraft:destruction_particles": {
 "texture": "my_particles_texture",
 "tint_method": "grass"
}

</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="c++"> "minecraft:destruction_particles": {

"texture": "my_particles_texture"

} </syntaxhighlight>

Minecraft:Commands

• Removed Template:Cd command.

Minecraft:Dedicated Server

• Exposed a new parameter for dedicated server. This will make the server more strict on entity interactions. Look in Template:Cd for more information on what these do.
  • Template:Cd default to Template:Cd and can be set to Template:Cd. Will affect entity interaction acceptance.
• Removed Template:Cd parameter. It will now always use Template:Cd.

General

• Server Authoritative movement is now turned on by default.

Minecraft:Particles

• Multiple controllers transitioning out of a state at the same time will now properly expire all intended particles instead of just the last one.
