Tags
Items & blocks can be "tagged" with an ID, to make testing for things much easier. For example, checking if a block is "wool" with a command needs to actually test for every wool-like block individually. Now you can test if it matches the tag minecraft:wool, instead.
Types of tags
Currently there's block tags and item tags. You use block tags when testing for blocks in the world, and item tags for testing for items (even block-items) in inventories. It may seem like we could just stick with item tags, but not every block has an item!
Creating tags
Inside data packs, you can create a file at data/(namespace)/tags/blocks/foo.json to make a block tag called namespace:foo, which contains a list of blocks that should be tagged with namespace:foo.
A work in progress
There's not many default tags (both item & block have minecraft:planks and minecraft:wool currently, that's it). We're migrating things over to it, still.
Recipes
Recipes can now refer to a tag instead of an item. This should save a few hundred thousand lines of code, somewhere.
