End gateway block
  • Changed texture to be both angle and face independent.

    • The spawnable item from a spawn egg is now addressed by a datatag: give @p spawn_egg 1 {EntityTag:{id:"Creeper"}}.

Mobs[]

General
  • The HealF Float tag has been renamed to Health.
    • As a result, the original Health tag is now a Float type rather than Short.
Ender dragon
  • Now shoots the previously added ender acid entities.
    • A fire charge like projectile.
    • On impact it spawns dragon breath and lights the ground on fire.
      • The dragon breath acts like a lingering potion, creating a special entity cloud.
        • Players in the cloud will get damaged.
  • Arrows get deflected and set on fire while the dragon is on top of the portal.

Command format[]

NBT tags
  • CommandStats can be used to obtain the number of scoreboard tags an entity has via QueryResult.
    • Example: /scoreboard will return the number of "scoreboard tags" applied to the target.
      • If the target previously had 3 tags added, a score of "3" is returned.
  • Removed DataVersion from Entity. It is now only applied to Player only, child of LivingBase.
  • HealF under LivingBase has become deprecated.
  • Health under LivingBase has changed from type "Short" to "Float".
  • Life renamed to Age for EndGateway entity.
  • Equipment removed from ArmorStand and Living entity, its usage replaced by HandItems and ArmorItems which were added earlier.

General[]

  • In Survival, pick block now works on items outside of the hotbar but inside the player's inventory.
  • In Creative, using pick block normally will give the player a new one instead of existing ones with NBT.
