World Generation

Ancient city

Removed small_portal_statue, intact_horizontal_wall_stairs_upward, top_piece, bottom_piece and variant structures because they duplicate existing structures.
Changed some structures:
- Slightly changed city_center_2 blocks around the chest so that vibrations generated there are always detected by the sculk sensor below.
- A missing sculk sensor was added for the redstone lamp in bottom_1.
- Replaced the light blue and blue carpets in ice_box_1 with gray carpets, and the trapdoor there is no longer open by default.
- entrance_path_5 is now able to generate.
Changed the loot found in chests:
- There's now an extra roll of loot for every chest, with one possible loot option being now 1-3 echo shards.
- Replaced the golden carrot in city_center_2 chest with a golden apple.

Gameplay

Advancements

The mangrove swamp is now required to be visited for the "Adventuring Time" advancement.
Removed field location from triggers location, slept_in_bed, hero_of_the_village, and voluntary_exile. It was handled exactly the same as player.location.

General

Entity format

Replaced [Int] CatType field in cats' entity format with [String] variant.
- Accepted type of value is changed from numeric values to strings IDs. (e.g. 5 -> minecraft:calico)
There's also have a similar change to frogs' entity format like the cats' one.

Loot tables

The special case size-dependent loot drops of slimes and magma cubes are now data driven and part of their loot tables, using the new sub-predicate types.
The loot drops for frog food are now part of the food's death loot, instead of dropping hard-coded item types.

Predicates

player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt, and catType fields have been replaced with type_specific.
type_specific has field [String] type (one of player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt or cat) and same fields as removed fields.
Example:

Before:

 "lightning_bolt": {
   "blocks_set_on_fire": 0
 }

After:

  "type_specific": {
    "type": "lightning",
    "blocks_set_on_fire": 0
  }

catType has been wrapped to match new format and now uses new cat variant names instead of texture names.

Before:

"catType": "minecraft:textures/entity/cat/british_shorthair.png"

After:

 "type_specific": {
    "type": "cat",
    "variant": "minecraft:british"
 }

New type_specific options:
- frog has [String] variant field matching frog variant (minecraft:warm, minecraft:temperate or minecraft:cold).
- slime applies for slimes and magma cubes, has [Int] Size field matching slime size (smallest is 1).
