Gameplay
- Piglins can now give dried ghast blocks when bartered with.
- Splash potions distance to affected entities now depends on the closest distance between the entity hitbox and the splash potion hitbox where it landed.
- If an entity is hit directly by the splash potion, it will receive the full effect of the potion.
- If the entities are grouped together, they will receive the same effect strength.
General
- The pack format version is now
75.
- Added
home_posandhome_radiusfields to all mobs.- Mobs with set home position will limit their pathfinding to stay within the indicated area.
- Some mobs, like bats, slimes, magma cubes, phantoms and ender dragons may ignore it.
- Interacting with leashes or riding may change the home position of the mob.
uniformfont has been updated to use Unifont 16.0.03.- Added previously omitted Unifont glyphs for Private Use Areas.
- Those glyphs are loaded as a separate sub-font
minecraft:include/unifont_puaand are not included in any normally used font. - Characters in those areas are managed by Under-CSUR (Under-ConScript Unicode Registry), which adds various scripts not present in official Unicode set, like Tengwar or Sitelen Pona.
- Those glyphs are loaded as a separate sub-font
- Unihex Font Provider
- Field
size_overridesis now optional (defaults to empty list).
- Field
