Technical Updates

AI Goals

Made the schemas for the following goals stricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.21.110 and newer
minecraft:behavior.roar
minecraft:behavior.slime_attack
minecraft:behavior.slime_float
minecraft:behavior.slime_keep_on_jumping
minecraft:behavior.slime_random_direction
minecraft:behavior.sniff
minecraft:behavior.sonic_boom
minecraft:behavior.stay_near_noteblock
minecraft:behavior.swim_idle
minecraft:behavior.swim_up_for_breath
minecraft:behavior.swim_wander
minecraft:behavior.swoop_attack

Commands

Updated /locate biome to support underground biomes
Y axis is more accurate to exactly where the biome is

Components

Updates to "minecraft:dash_action"
Added new field "direction" taking either "entity" or "passenger" as its value. Defaults to "entity"
"entity"
Behaves like before
"passenger"
Momentum applied from the dash action will now instead be applied in the view direction of the passenger entity, using the horizontal_momentum as forward momentum and vertical_momentum as upward momentum in the direction of the passenger. Short of it: looking up with horizontal momentum will launch you upwards.
Old schemas with format version older than 1.21.110 will automatically receive the "entity" direction

Added clear button for Vector3 input fields

Fixed a bug that caused Farm tool settings to reset when another player joins

Changed the schema for the minecraft:experience_reward entity component so that the on_bred and on_death members no longer accept arrays; only single Molang expressions are now supported for each member

Gameplay

From 1.21.110 onward, the free camera and fixed boom cameras use Camera Relative Strafe as default scheme

Item Components

Repairing an item using the "minecraft:repairable" item component no longer fails when a stack larger than strictly needed is used as repair material

Items

"poly_mesh" is now documented as a deprecated feature
It was already treated as deprecated, but the documentation did not reflect this
"texture_meshes" is no longer documented as an experimental feature
It was already treated as non-experimental, but the documentation did not reflect this
