Minecraft:End gateway block

• Changed texture to be both angle and face independent.

  • They travel a much greater distance.

Minecraft:Spawn eggs

• Can no longer address spawn eggs by numeric data ID, like: give @p spawn_egg 1 50.
  • The spawnable item from a spawn egg is now addressed by a datatag: give @p spawn_egg 1 {EntityTag:{id:"Creeper"}}.

Mobs

General

• The HealF float tag has been renamed to Health.
  • As a result, the original Health tag is now a float type rather than short.

Minecraft:Ender dragon

• Now shoots the previously added ender acid entities.
  • A Minecraft:fireball-like projectile.
  • On impact it spawns dragon breath and lights the ground on Minecraft:fire.
    • The dragon breath acts like a Minecraft:lingering potion, creating a special entity cloud.
      • Players in the cloud get damaged.
• Minecraft:Arrows get deflected and set on fire while the dragon is on top of the portal.

Command format

NBT format

• CommandStats can be used to obtain the number of scoreboard tags an entity has via QueryResult.
  • Example: Template:Cmd will return the number of "scoreboard tags" applied to the target.
    • If the target previously had 3 tags added, a score of "3" is returned.
• Removed DataVersion from Entity. It is now only applied to Player only, child of LivingBase.
• HealF under LivingBase has become deprecated.
• Health under LivingBase has changed from type "Short" to "Float".
• Life renamed to Age for EndGateway entity.
• Equipment removed from ArmorStand and Living entity, its usage replaced by HandItems and ArmorItems which were added earlier.

General

Minecraft:Pick block

• In Survival, pick block now works on items outside of the hotbar but inside the player's inventory.
• In Creative, using pick block normally gives the player a new one instead of existing ones with NBT.
• Template:Key+Template:Mouse no longer replaces items.
  • Existing items are put into the inventory instead of being deleted.

Tooltips

• Now show absolute damage instead of damage increase.
