Changes

Blocks

Minecraft:Brewing stand

Can now be crafted with Minecraft:blackstone.
- Determined by the Template:Cd item tag.

Chains

Can now be placed in all orientations

End portals

Now teleport the player centered on the end platform instead of at the north-west corner of the block.

Minecraft:Furnaces

The crafting Minecraft:recipe and Minecraft:recipe book unlock now use the Template:Cd item tag.
- This change is not noticeable in-game as this tag has the same contents as the old Template:Cd item tag.

Minecraft:Lanterns

Can now be Minecraft:waterlogged.
- Also applies to Minecraft:soul lanterns.

Nether vegetation

No longer catches Minecraft:fire.

Minecraft:Potted cactus

Model now uses a cullface for the top.
Now no longer has a hole in the bottom.

Items

Brown and red mushroom

Can now be placed and grown on both types of Minecraft:nylium.

Crimson and warped fungi

Can now be placed on Minecraft:mycelium.
- Still only grow into a Minecraft:huge fungus on the respective Minecraft:nylium.

Pufferfish

Now gives Minecraft:Nausea I instead of Nausea II when eaten.
- This has no practical effect in-game as the level of the Nausea effect does not change anything.

Minecraft:Totem of undying

Now gives Minecraft:Fire Resistance for Template:Convert when activated.

Mobs

Minecraft:Endermen

No longer place their held blocks onto Minecraft:bedrock blocks.

Minecraft:Piglins

Become angry with players who open or destroy Minecraft:chest minecarts and Minecraft:hopper minecarts.

Minecraft:Pillagers, Minecraft:vexes and Minecraft:vindicators

The attack animations of unarmed pillagers, vexes and vindicators have been changed.

Minecraft:Villagers

Now emit green Minecraft:particles when joining a Minecraft:village, setting a home Minecraft:bed, or acquiring a Minecraft:job site or profession to match Template:Edition.
Now lose their job sites when changing dimension.
They don't get off the Minecraft:minecart when they change into Minecraft:zombie villagers and vice versa.

Minecraft:Zoglins

Can now be Minecraft:leashed. However, Minecraft:hoglins still break their leash when zombifying.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Minecraft:Suffocation

Mobs now suffocate when their head is inside Minecraft:soul sand, Minecraft:farmland, and Minecraft:grass paths.

World generation

Minecraft:Bastion remnants

Now spawn Minecraft:piglin brutes on world generation.
- Normal Minecraft:piglins may still spawn.
Now have gilded blackstone under most chests.

Minecraft:Custom

Custom worlds now support custom Minecraft:biomes and custom noise settings.

Minecraft:Badlands

Plateaus generate more frequently at the edges of badlands.

Command format

Template:Cmd

Template:Cmd now respects dimension scaling for relative coordinates: the execution position (only the X/Z part) of a command is divided by 8 when traveling from the Overworld to the Nether, and is multiplied by 8 when vice versa.
- If a value is added after the tilde, that value is added only after the new scaled position is calculated. For instance, ~5 first scales the player's current position (multiplying by eight when traveling to the Overworld or dividing by eight when going to the Nether) before adding five to that outputted value.
- For example, if a player at position Template:Cd in Overworld runs command Template:Cmd, the player would now be teleported to Template:Cd in the Nether.
  - Relatively, if a player at position Template:Cd in the Nether runs command Template:Cmd, the player would now be teleported to Template:Cd in Overworld.
  - If a player at position Template:Cd in the Overworld runs command Template:Cmd, the player would now be teleported to Template:Cd in the Nether.
  - If a player at position Template:Cd in Overworld runs command Template:Cmd, the player would still be teleported to Template:Cd in the Nether.
- The behavior before this version can be done by running command Template:Cmd.
- Applies to Minecraft:custom dimensions as well.

Gameplay
