AI Goals

• Made schemas for the following goals stricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.26.40 and newer:
  • Template:Cd
    • Int Range field Template:Cd now only accepts an object with Template:Cd and Template:Cd values. Other formats will fail to parse.

  • Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd
  • Template:Cd
• Actor goal Template:Cd takes a float range for Template:Cd instead of Template:Cd and Template:Cd for versions 1.26.40 and newer.

Minecraft:API

• Released Template:Cd version 2.9.0.
• Added Template:Cd version 2.10.0-beta.

Blocks

• Added Template:Cd as an Template:Cd offsets value inside Template:Cd.
  • This is to give the offsets when placed inside a Minecraft:shelf.
  • Pre 1.26.40 blocks with a Template:Cd value will have that value copied to Template:Cd.
  • New 1.26.40 blocks will be able to define Template:Cd for Minecraft:item frames and Template:Cd for shelves.

Entity components

• Added a new Template:Cd boolean field to Template:Cd's presets:
  • Determines whether the collision boxes of two entities must overlap for pushing to occur.
  • For format versions 1.26.40 and higher, this field defaults to Template:Cd.
  • For format versions below 1.26.40, this field defaults to Template:Cd.

Minecraft:Item components

• Item component Template:Cd setting Template:Cd field to Template:Cd will not cause assert.

Items

• Items declared with a Template:Cd of 1.26.30 or higher now require at least one entry under Template:Cd. Previously such items would silently fall back to legacy item parsing; they now fail to register with a content error.
• Custom item definitions in resource packs now reliably override their Vanilla counterparts:
  • A custom definition using an older Template:Cd will now be applied on top of a Vanilla item that ships with Template:Cd 1.16+ (previously the custom data was silently dropped). In Vanilla this only affects Template:Cd and Template:Cd.

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", "Upcoming Creator Features", "Experimental Voxel Shape Features", and "Render Dragon Features for Creators" Minecraft:experimental toggles.
