Advancements

    • "Withering Heights" is now an offspring of "Spooky Scary Skeleton".
    • "Into Fire" is now an offspring of "A Terrible Fortress".
    • "Remote Getaway" is now an offspring of "Free the End", and works properly when player throws an ender pearl into the gateway.
    • "Sky's the Limit" is now an offspring of "City at the End of the Game", and is now a "goal" type advancement.
    • "Zombie Doctor" and "Eye Spy" are now offspring of "We Need to Go Deeper".
    • "Eye Spy" now requires the player to enter the stronghold.
    • "A Weak Brew" was replaced with "Local Brewery" (nether/brew_potion), which is an offspring of "Into Fire" and requires the player to retrieve any potion from a brewing stand.
    • Illusioner now counts for "Monster Hunter" and is required for "Monsters Hunted", which makes the advancement unobtainable.
    • "Sniper Duel" not requires a skeleton to be killed.
  • Advancements can now execute commands when achieved.
    • The command written in the rewards section of the advancement is executed as the player (for example writing /say @s would be equivalent to /execute <the_player_who_obtained_this_advancement> ~ ~ ~ say @s)
  • Advancement icons now allow data values.
    • Specifically, icon has switched from being a string to an object.
      • Within it are a required item string (specifying the item ID) and an optional data integer, specifying the metadata of the item
  • The "damage flags object" now contains two new entity objects:
    • source_entity - specifies the "owner" of the damage that was dealt.
    • direct_entity - specifies the direct cause of the damage.
