Changes

Gameplay

Minecraft:Effects

• Improved player attribute and effect handling.
  • Custom set base attributes are now kept when respawning.
  • Active effects and modifiers are kept when changing dimension or winning the game.

Minecraft:Enchantments

• Minecraft:Wind Burst
  • Invalidates the fall damage protection of mace smash attacks once again, reverting the fix of Template:Bug.<ref>MC-270687 — Maces enchanted with wind burst don't reliably protect players from fall damage — resolved as "Works As Intended".</ref>

Sounds

Minecraft:Pistons
