- Tags for potions: /data/[namespace]/tags/potion
- Tags for biomes: /data/[namespace]/tags/worldgen/biome
- For tags of blocks, items, fluids, entity types, game events and functions, their locations in datapacks are currently not changed, even if they use plural names which is against the new name format.

- Structure fields in noise settings no longer have separate subfields for strongholds and non-stronghold structures. Instead each structure has a tag field which is
tag:concentric_ringsfor strongholds andtag:random_spreadfor non-stronghold structures.
- Changed the "Water World" preset, by replacing sand with gravel, and adding additional 64 layers of deepslate above the bedrock layer, in order to fix the ocean monument generation issue in worlds using this preset.
