• We are fully enabling the block schema parsing update that was tested during 1.26.10 previews. These changes will be shipping as part of 1.26.20 and start with this first preview.
• The custom block json api has the following changes that will affect loading of block json with format version 1.26.20 and up.
  • General
    • Namespace constraints have been tweaked but everything permitted before should still be valid.
      • This can affect the identifiers used for the block, states and menu category groups.
  • Block Traits
    • "placement_direction" trait, validation change: The rotation offset does not accept a 0.5 tolerance anymore.
      • Input value must be a multiple of 90.0
      • The value must be in the range 0.0 to 360.0 inclusive.
    • "blocks_to_corner_with" now requires "minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction" to be one of the "enabled_states" for the "placement_direction" trait.
  • Category
    • "menu_category", validation change: An empty "group" value is not allowed.
    • The "group" field can either exist with a non-empty value or not exist at all.
    • "category" is now a required field, when using "menu_category". This is strictly enforced now.
  • Components
    • "minecraft:flower_pottable", validation change: It is restricted outside of root components object.
    • "minecraft:geometry", validation change: The constraint on "culling_shape" identifier is strictly enforced now.
      • When using the minecraft namespace, the only currently available culling shape identifiers are : "minecraft:empty" or "minecraft:unit_cube".
      • When using no namespaces or a custom one, the names must start and end with an alpha-numeric character.
    • "minecraft:light_dampening" and "minecraft:light_emission", validation change: They now strictly enforce the value to be between 0 and 15 inclusive.
    • There is a breaking change to how tags are defined.
      • As of version 1.26.20, tags cannot freely live as top level entities in the components array.
      • They must live inside the "minecraft:tags" component, which accepts an array of tags of the format :
        • "minecraft:tags": ["minecraft:crop", "custom:custom_tag"].
      • The values must have the format "<namespace>:<tag_name>".
      • They no longer need to be prefixed with tag:

Commands

Components

• Fixed issue with mob projectile accuracy going negative on higher difficulty settings
• Fixed bug in "minecraft:interact" where combining "drop_item_slot" and "equip_item_slot" would not equip the given item

Entity Components

• The behavior of the minecraft:friction_modifier component now matches its description
  • The higher its value, the more friction affects an entity:
    • 0.0 means no friction
    • 1.0 means regular friction
    • 2.0 means double friction
  • The component now affects ground friction only, and no longer partially affects air or liquid drag
  • The legacy incorrect behavior can be re-enabled by adding the minecraft:uses_legacy_friction component
    • This component is automatically added to all entities with a format version lower than 1.26.20, to ensure their behavior stays unaltered
  • The component now properly works on players, and on other client-predicted entities
• Added the minecraft:uses_uniform_air_drag component
  • When present, air drag is applied uniformly on both the vertical and horizontal axes, instead of being biased toward horizontal movement
• Added the "minecraft:on_equipment_changed" component, which allows executing entitiy events when items are equipped or unequipped in specific equipment slots
  • Contains a "slots" field with a list of entries, each with:
    • "slot", the equipment slot to monitor
    • "on_equip", event to fire when a non-empty item is placed in the slot
    • "on_unequip", event to fire when the slot is cleared
  • When equipment changes, the first matching slot entry is used
  • Does not apply to "minecraft:inventory" slots, use "minecraft:equippable" instead

• Added "has_same_equipment_in_slot_as" entity filter
