Changes in 22w06a
If you’re playing in South Korea, we added gameplay timers and notices in compliance with gaming laws to help remind players to take occasional breaks from gameplay. For more information, please see the FAQ.
Technical Changes in 22w06a
- Any type present in registries (blocks, items, biomes, etc.) can now have tags
Universal tags
- Tags can now be defined for any registry (blocks, items, biomes, etc. - see registries.json in report)
- New tags are stored in datapacks under tags directory (same as old ones)
- Names of new tag directories are the same as registry names (so /data/[namespace]/tags/potion and /data/[namespace]/tags/worldgen/biome)
- Existing tags (blocks, items, fluids, entity_types, game_events and functions) keep their name (for now)
- Some fields in worldgen structures that previously only lists of element ids now accept tags
- Those entries now accept [id, ...], id (shortcut for [id]) and #tag
- Changed fields are:
- feature.glow_lichen configuration: can_be_placed_on
- feature.spring_feature configuration: valid_blocks
- feature.simple_random_selector configuration: features
- block_predicate_type.matching_blocks: blocks
- block_predicate_type.matching_fluids: fluids
- biome: inner list in features, map value in carvers
- biome_source.checkerboard: biomes
- Some tag fields now require id to be prepended with # (however they are not yet accepting element list)
- dimension_type: infiniburn
- feature.geode configuration: blocks.cannot_replace, blocks.invalid_blocks
- feature.vegetation_patch, feature.waterlogged_vegetation_patch configuration: replaceable
- feature.root_system configuration: root_replaceable
- structure_processor.protected_blocks: value
