- Players can interact with them and insert items into them.
  - Player interactions with them cause them to wobble.
- They have no GUI, and need to be broken to retrieve their content by players.

Mobs

Bat

Their model, animations, and texture have been updated.

General

Mobs on fire no longer spread fire to their target when holding something in their main hand.
Changed mob attack reach calculation.
- In horizontal directions, mobs' attack reach are now their bounding box extended in horizontal directions, instead of using horizontal width to determine.
  - For example, a ravager won't be able to attack through a few block thick walls.
- In vertical directions, mobs' attack reach are now the exact vertical range of their bounding box. When there's no overlap between their bounding box and their target's bounding box in vertical direction, they can not attack, in specific:
  - Riding a medium-sized mob (e.g. horse) can get rid of attacks from short mobs (e.g. baby zombie).
  - Riding a tall mob (e.g. camel) can get rid of attacks from standard size mobs (e.g. zombie).
  - Some mob's reaching height now extended (e.g. enderman, safety height changed from 1.5 to 3).

Experimental

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Update 1.21", "Beta APIs", "Molang Features", and "Render Dragon Features for Creators" experimental toggles.

Additions

1.20.50 experimental block and item additions

Blocks

Chiseled Copper

Have 8 variants in 4 oxidation levels, waxed or not waxed.
Can be crafted both in crafting table and stonecutter:
- When in crafting table, consume 2 cut copper slabs from the same type, resulting in 1 chiseled copper with the same type.
- When in stonecutter, consume 1 block of copper, resulting in 4 chiseled copper from the same type.

Chiseled Tuff

Can be crafted from tuff slabs or can be obtained by cutting tuff using a stonecutter.

Chiseled Tuff Bricks

Can be crafted from tuff brick slabs or can be obtained by cutting tuff, tuff bricks, and polished tuff using a stonecutter.

Copper Bulb

A light-emitting block that can toggle its light emission through redstone pulses.
Have 8 variants in 4 oxidation levels, waxed or not waxed.
Can be crafted in crafting table with a cross pattern, by 3 blocks of copper from the same type, 1 blaze rod in the center slot, and 1 redstone dust in the bottom slot, resulting in 1 copper bulb with the same type.
They emit less light the more oxidized they are. From less oxidized to most oxidized, they emit block light levels of 15, 12, 8, and 4, respectively.
While powered by a redstone signal, a redstone crystal in the center of them will glow.
They have following properties:
- Only toggle their light on or off when receiveing a redstone pulse. Their state will not be changed if the source of the redstone pulse is removed.
- When the light is on, redstone comparators will read a redstone signal strength of 15.
- Don't conduct redstone power.

Copper Door and Copper Trapdoor

Have 8 variants in 4 oxidation levels, waxed or not waxed.
Works like wooden doors in that they can be opened and closed by the player as well as redstone.
Can be crafted as other doors, with blocks of copper from the same type.

Copper Grate

A new type of decorative block unique to the copper family.
Have 8 variants in 4 oxidation levels, waxed or not waxed.
Can be crafted both in crafting table and stonecutter:
- When in crafting table, consume 4 blocks of copper from the same type in rhombic pattern, resulting in 1 copper grate with the same type.
- When in stonecutter, consume 1 block of copper, resulting in 4 copper grate from the same type.
They have the following properties:
- Transparent and allows light to pass through.
- Cannot conduct redstone.
- Hostile mobs cannot naturally spawn on them.

Crafter

A variant of crafting table, can be crafted with five iron ingots, a crafting table, two redstone dusts, and a dropper.
Have a user interface similar to crafting table.
- Have 3×3 interactable crafting grid.
- Their crafting grid slots are toggleable, meaning that the player can change the behavior of a slot by clicking or pressing on a slot with an empty hand.
  - A toggled slot cannot hold any items and therefore cannot have items placed into it by other blocks such as hoppers and droppers.
  - A toggled slot can be toggled off by player, whether clicked directly or holding item(s), pressing slot keys associated with an empty or a not empty hotbar slot.
- Unlike the crafting table, the slots display a preview of the crafted item which will be crafted and ejected on the next redstone pulse but cannot be manually taken out by the player.
- The user interface is shared between all players interacting with them, meaning that multiple players can interact with them at the same time, similar to chests and hoppers.
Crafters can be oriented in any direction when placed.
A pickaxe can increase the speed of mining them.
The crafter ejects one crafted item at a time when powered by a new redstone pulse, a redstone signal that is not a continuous signal.
- Upon receiving this new signal, crafters eject the recipe result from the front face.
- All the result items will be ejected together when the output result has multiple type of items.
They can interact with hoppers and droppers, to input/output automatically.
- Hoppers can be used to both insert and pull items out of them.
- Droppers can be used to insert items into them.
- Moving items in from another block with a hopper or a dropper prioritizes filling items into slots, by following these rules:
  - If there is a toggled slot, skipped.
  - If there is not a toggled slot, crafters prioritize the first empty slot from left-to-right and top-to-bottom.
  - If there is not a toggled slot, and there are no empty slots, crafters prioritize the smallest stack of the same item. If there are multiple possible stacks, pick the first from left-to-right and top-to-bottom.
- If failed to select a slot, hoppers and droppers will not take any action.
When read by a redstone comparator, the redstone signal strength is 0 to 9, where each non-empty or toggled slot adds 1 strength.

Polished Tuff

Can be crafted from tuff or can be obtained by cutting tuff using a stonecutter.
Can be used to craft respective stairs, slabs, walls, and bricks.

Tuff Bricks

Can be crafted from polished tuff or can be obtained by cutting tuff using a stonecutter.
Can be used to craft respective stairs, slabs (that can be used to craft chiseled tuff bricks), and walls.

Tuff Stairs, Tuff Slab, and Tuff Wall

Can be crafted from tuff or can be obtained by cutting tuff using a stonecutter.
Tuff slabs can be used to craft chiseled tuff.

Changes

Now can be used to craft respective doors and trapdoors, as well as the copper bulb and copper grate, or any variant of the block of copper cutting it in a stonecutter.

Tuff

JSON

- The reach_multiplier attribute is removed and replaced with box_increase.
- Reach is calculated by increasing the bounds of the attacking mobs in the xz-plane by box_increase blocks to create an "attack box". If the attack box intersects with the target's bounds the attacking mob can reach it.
