  • Added BlockComponentTypes, EntityComponentTypes, and ItemComponentTypes enums that enumerate component ID strings.
  • Removed CraftingEventPacket.

JSON

    • The reach_multiplier attribute is removed and replaced with box_increase.

    • Replaced with query.timer_flag_2, set by behavior.timer_flag_2.
    • Replaced with query.timer_flag_3, set by behavior.timer_flag_3.
    • query.is_scenting
    • query.is_rising
