Minecraft:Trading

• When villagers unlock new trades, the order of those trades in the UI is now always random instead of sometimes being deterministic.

Command format

Functions

• Numbers used as macro arguments are now always inserted without suffixes, regardless of numeric type.

Template:Cmd

• Temporarily removed syntax Template:Cmd.
