Minecraft:API

• Released Template:Cd from beta to scripts version Template:Cd.
• Changed Template:Cd -> Template:Cd, Template:Cd -> Template:Cd, and added Template:Cd property to Template:Cd in Template:Cd beta.
  • Template:Cd is functionally identical to Template:Cd but is no longer accessed via Template:Cd, uses Template:Cd instead.

Blocks

Minecraft:Block components

• Fences

Entity components

• Made the following changes to the Template:Cd component:
  • Renamed Template:Cd to Template:Cd.
  • Template:Cd is no longer scaled by Template:Cd internally.
    • Similar values for Template:Cd and Template:Cd now produce similar knockback on both axes.
  • Deprecated the following fields:
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
    • Template:Cd
  • Added a new field, Template:Cd, which provides more intuitive control over how knockback is applied:
    • Template:Cd (default): Applies knockback along the horizontal direction from attacker to target.
    • Template:Cd: Applies knockback based on the hit direction and point of impact (for example, hits from below push upward, and hits on the left side push to the right).
  • The component is no longer in Beta.

Minecraft:Features

• Added content error when loading features with identifiers that already exist within the same behavior pack.

Minecraft:Item components

• Updated item schema validation so Template:Cd now requires at least one component entry for item documents in Template:Cd and Template:Cd.
