For this week's Snapshot, we've made improvements to the Decorated Pots!
Additionally, Realms is now available in Snapshots moving forward! Any player who has an active Realms subscription is eligible to create a free Snapshot Realm. This Snapshot Realm will be separate from your regular Realm to prevent any issues from impacting your regular Realm. For more information on how Snapshot Realms work, please see Realms in Minecraft: Java Edition Snapshot FAQ.

Data Pack Version 20
- Changed function command results
- Adjusted check for gamerule maxCommandChainLength
- Added new gamerule maxCommandForkCount
- Reintroduced form of the execute command: execute if function
- Reintroduced form of the return command: return run
- Decorated Pots with cracked state set to true will always shatter when broken
- Added new dust_plume particle type
Commands
Functions
- function command has been changed to better accomodate new return command
- Functions no longer have any result unless they use return or there was error during lookup or instantiation
- That means function command will no longer return (or even display) number of commands run during execution
- Error conditions:
- Calling non-existent function
- Calling empty function tag
- Macro instantiation failure
- "Result" in this context means values that would be stored with execute store
- The previous behavior where every command in function would perform store if a function was called with execute store ... run function is removed
- That means that a single call to function will store at most once (zero times if return was not called)
- For function tags with multiple entries, function results will be accumulated, but partial results will be stored at the end of every function
Limits
Existing limits for functions have been refined to accomodate new execution rules and prevent wider range of exploits:
- Limits apply even if run from command line (so it will now always behave as if they were placed in a function)
- For example, all functions called by execute as @e run function will count towards same limit
- Executions from command blocks still count as separate ones
- Limit maxCommandChainLength for functions will now count "operations" like:
- execution of command for a single context
- execution of a stage in execute (no matter how many contexts were modified)
- invocation of function
- New limit with game rule maxCommandForkCount now restricts total amount of context that can be created by single state of functions like execute
- Example: if there are 5 entities in world, execute as @e creates 5 contexts, while execute as @e at @e creates 5*5 = 25 contexts
execute if function
An execute sub-command that runs a function or function tag and matches the return value(s).This is a reintroduction of functionality removed in previous version.If a tag is given, all functions run regardless of the results of prior functions.
Syntax:execute if|unless function <function> <continuation>
Parameters:
- function: The function or tag to run
Matching
The matching of the result value of the function(s) that run:
- At least one of the functions must succeed for the match to succeed
- A succeessful call is defined as a function that:
- Uses the return command to return a value
- The return value is not 0
- If no functions exited with return, neither if or unless will run
return run
A form of the return command is now available, return run.This is a reintroduction of functionality removed in previous version.
Syntax:return run <command>
This takes the result value from running the specified command and returns that as the return value of the function.
- If command did not return any value (like, for example, call to a function without return), return will not execute and function will continue execution
- If the given command fails, the return value is 0
- In all other aspects, it works like return with a specified return value
- In case of fork (for example return run execute as @e run some_command) the first execution of the command will return
- If there are no executions (for example in return run execute if @e[something_impossible] run some_command) function will not return and will continue execution
