  • The Resource Pack version is now 30
    • Particle entity_effect takes color argument when spawned from command
    • /particle entity_effect <r> <g> <b> <a>
    • 4 float values ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 representing RGBA

DATA PACK VERSION 36

  • Added a crafter_recipe_crafted trigger which is triggered when a Crafter ejects a successfully crafted item into the world.
    • <player> an entity predicate matching the player who is nearby
    • <recipe_id> is the ID of the recipe being crafted
    • <ingredients> is a list of item predicates matching the ingredients that form the recipe being crafted
  • Added a fall_after_explosion trigger which is triggered when a player begins falling after being knocked upwards by an explosion or wind burst
    • <player> an entity predicate matching the player who is falling
    • <start_position> a location predicate matching the position the player was at when they were hit by the explosion or burst
    • <distance> a distance predicate matching how far the player must be from start_position to cause the trigger to activate
    • <cause> an entity predicate matching the entity which caused the explosion or burst to happen
  • Added storage loot number provider to access values from command storage
  • New Entity Type Tag: sensitive_to_smite - for Entity Types that take extra damage from the Smite Enchantment
  • Expanded item predicate syntax used in execute if|unless items and clear commands
  • Removed redundant custom data section ({...}) from item arguments (it's fully replaced by [custom_data={...}])
    • To make this transition easier, custom_data item sub-predicate has been changed to allow unquoted SNBT
  • Added wolf entity sub-predicate for matching wolf variants
  • wolf, cat, frog and painting entity sub-predicates now accept tags and plain lists instead of just single elements
  • Changed texture asset paths in wolf_variant to better match other formats
  • Command arguments that previously accepted namespaced ids of loot tables, modifiers and predicates can now also accept inline definitions
  • Added new item stack components
  • Added new loot functions

WOLF_VARIANT DEFINITIONS

  • Field texture has been renamed to wild_texture
  • wild_texture, tame_texture and angry_texture no longer require values to be prefixed with textures/ and suffixed with .png

COMMANDS

INLINE LOOT VALUES

Arguments in following commands that previously accepted namespaced ids of loot tables, modifiers and predicates can now also accept inline definitions:

  • loot
  • item
  • execute if predicateValues have same structure as matching JSON files, though they are encoded as SNBT.Example: execute if predicate {condition:weather_check, raining:true}

LOOT TABLES

STORAGE NUMBER PROVIDER

  • This number provider is able to access numeric values from command storage directly
  • If selected storage does not exist or tag selected by path is not numeric or does not exist, provider returns 0
  • Fields:
    • storage - namespaced id of command storage
    • path - NBT path to field

SET_LORE FUNCTION

  • The replace field has been removed
  • Now has mode like set_fireworks and set_written_book_pages

SET_WRITTEN_BOOK_PAGES FUNCTION

  • pages is now a JSON Object rather than a string containing JSON

TOGGLE_TOOLTIPS LOOT FUNCTION

  • This function can be used to modify item component tooltip visiblity
  • It works by setting fields like show_in_tooltip without changing other values
  • Format:
    • toggles - a map of supported item component type to boolean value
  • Supported components: trim, dyed_color, enchantments, stored_enchantments, unbreakable, can_break, can_place_on, attribute_modifiers
  • Example:
    • {function:"toggle_tooltips","toggles":{"enchantments":false}} will hide enchantments tooltip

FUNCTIONS

  • Nested lists are no longer supported in function lists

ITEM PREDICATE ARGUMENT

The item predicate syntax (used in execute if|unless items and clear commands) has been significantly expanded.

  • The general syntax is: <type> [comma-separated list of <test>]
  • <type> can be one of:
    • item id
    • item tag id prefixed with #
    • * to match any item
  • <test> can have one of 3 forms:
    • <component_id>=<value> - match exact value of component (same as in previous format)
      • <value> is a representation of component value in SNBT format (same as in item give argument)
    • <component_id> - check if component exists
    • <predicate_id>~<value> - check item sub-predicate
      • <value> is a representation of item sub-predicate in SNBT format (but otherwise same as one used for advancement and loot table JSON files)
      • Example: *[damage~{durability:{min:3}}] will match any stack with at least 3 uses left
  • The special name minecraft:count can be used for matching the stack size
    • count=<positive int> will pass only when the stack size equals the given value
    • count~<int range> will pass when the stack size is in the specified range
      • Example: *[count~{max:2}] will match any stack with count <= 2
    • count will always pass
  • Any <test> entry can be negated by prefixing with !
    • Example: *[!count=1] will match any stack that has count other than 1
  • <test> elements can be also joined with | to check multiple alternatives
    • Example: *[!damage|damage=0] will look for items without damage component or with 0 damage
  • The syntax for custom data partial matching ({}) has been removed in favor of using custom_data predicates
    • So stick{a:2} becomes stick[custom_data~{a:2}]

PREDICATES

ITEM SUB-PREDICATES

  • Predicate minecraft:custom_data now accepts both SNBT data written as a string (existing format) and unflattened tags
    • That means that *[custom_data~{a:1}] and *[custom_data~"{a:1}"] are equivalent
    • Flattened string format has been kept since NBT type information can't be expressed in JSON

ENTITY SUB-PREDICATES

wolf

New wolf sub-predicate has been added to match wolf variantsFields:

  • variant - wolf variant to match (single entry, list of entries or tag)
cat, frog, painting
  • Field variant now accepts single entries, list of entries or tags
