Additions

General

Data component format

• Added minecraft:item_model item stack component.

    • left : boolean (optional).
    • right : boolean (optional).

Changes

Mobs

Squids

• Squid spawn eggs now only spawn adult squids.
  • There is a 5% chance of squids spawned in groups in the wild to be a baby.

General

• When a mob converts from one type to another (ex: piglin to zombified piglin), the health of the converted mob is set to the same percentage of max health as the original mob had before conversion.

General

Data component format

• minecraft:item_name
  • This component is now always present on every item.

Data pack

• The pack format version is now 52.

Models

• All item models can now use the broken property in model overrides that was previously limited to just elytra (the elytra's special break texture).
  • This will have a value of 1 if the item has 1 durability left, or 0 otherwise.
• The appearance of equipment when equipped by players or certain mobs can now be customized by defining 'equipment models' in the Resource Pack.
  • Equipment model definitions are loaded from assets/<namespace>/models/equipment/<path>.json
    • These can then be referenced by the equippable component with a model id of namespace:path
  • The model definition is an object with fields: wolf_body, horse_body, llama_body, humanoid, humanoid_leggings, wings
    • All fields are optional, and can be used to specify a list of layers for the given model layer type
    • Each field contains list of layer objects:
      • texture: namespaced texture location for this layer
        • namespace:path will resolve to assets/<namespace>/textures/entity/equipment/<layer_type>/<path>.png
      • dyeable: object with fields (optional), specifying how this layer behaves when dyed (in the dyeable item tag, and has dyed_color component)
        • color_when_undyed: RGB color int (optional)
        • If specified, this layer will be tinted by the color contained in the dyed_color component
          • If the item is not dyeable or not dyed, it will be tinted based on the color specified by color_when_undyed
          • If color_when_undyed is not specified and the item is not dyed, the layer will be hidden
      • use_player_texture: boolean (default: false), true if this layer texture should be overridden by a texture given by the player
        • Only used for wings layers, which will override with the player's custom Elytra texture

Resource pack

• The version is now 37.
• The tooltip background and frame may now be customized by replacing sprites:
  • tooltip/background: The background of the tooltip
  • tooltip/frame: The frame appearing around the tooltip
  • Items with a custom tooltip_style component will use sprites with IDs:
    • <namespace>:tooltip/<path>_background and <namespace>:tooltip/<path>_frame
• The nine_slice GUI sprite scaling mode has a new optional boolean (true or false, yes or no) property: stretch_inner
  • If true, the inner parts of the texture (i.e. not the corners) will be stretched instead of tiled
  • If not specified, defaults to false as before

Textures

• All equipment-related textures were moved to subfolders of the textures/entity/equipment directory.
  • Player armor textures were moved to textures/entity/equipment/humanoid and textures/entity/equipment/humanoid_leggings.
    • <material>_layer_1 textures were renamed to <material>, and moved into the humanoid subdirectory.
    • <material>_layer_2 textures were renamed to <material>, and moved into the humanoid_leggings subdirectory.
    • leather_layer_1_overlay and leather_layer_2_overlay textures were renamed to leather_overlay in their respective subdirectories.
  • wolf_armor and wolf_armor_overlay textures have moved to textures/entity/equipment/wolf_body/ and were renamed to armadillo_scute and armadillo_scute_overlay respectively.
  • turtle_layer_1 has been renamed to turtle_scute.
  • Llama decor textures were moved to textures/entity/equipment/llama_body.
  • Horse armor textures were moved to textures/entity/equipment/horse_body.
  • The Elytra texture has been moved to textures/entity/equipment/wings/elytra.
• Armor trim textures have also been moved to match the folder structure of the regular equipment textures.
  • Textures in textures/trims/models/armor were divided between textures/trims/entity/humanoid and textures/trims/entity/humanoid_leggings.
  • For leggings textures, the _leggings suffix is dropped.

Trims

• All equippable items with an equipment model defined support rendering trims, based on the trim component.
• Trim textures will be loaded from the appropriate folder in the textures/trims/entity directory.
  • For example, armor with wolf_body layers will fetch trims from textures/trims/entity/wolf_body.

Experimental

Bundles

• When a bundle is used in the hotbar, one group of items is emptied at a time instead of everything being emptied at once.
