Data Pack Version 17

Mob effect storage changes
Game no longer uses numeric values when storing mob effects to world (so, for example, 4 becomes minecraft:mining_fatigue)
Mob Effect Instance
- Id -> id, also changed from number to string id
- Ambient -> ambient
- Amplifier -> amplifier
- Duration -> duration
- ShowParticles -> show_particles
- ShowIcon -> show_icon
- HiddenEffect -> hidden_effect, also since it's mob effect instance, changes apply recursively
- FactorCalculationData -> factor_calculation_data
Items
potion, lingering_potion, splash_potion, tipped_arrow
- CustomPotionEffects -> custom_potion_effects, contents tranformed as a list of mob effect instances
suspicious_stew
- Effects -> effects, for each entry:
- EffectId -> id, also changed from number to string id
- EffectDuration -> duration
Entities
mooshroom
- Removed EffectId and EffectDuration
- Added stew_effects with the same format as suspicious_stew.effects tag (i.e. list of effect id and duration)
area_effect_cloud
- Effects -> effects, contents tranformed as a list of mob effect instances
arrow
- CustomPotionEffects -> custom_potion_effects, contents tranformed as a list of mob effect instances
Players, Armor Stands and mobs
- ActiveEffects -> active_effects, contents tranformed as a list of mob effect instances
Block Entities
beacon
- Primary -> primary_effect, also changed from number to string id
- Secondary -> secondary_effect, also changed from number to string id
Loot Tables
- Added sequence loot function
- Contains 1 field:
- functions: an array of sub-functions to run in sequence
- Can also be declared as an inline array with out a type
- This matches the existing behavior where loot function JSON files can be declared as an array of composite functions
- all_of predicates in loot tables can now be declared implicitly as an inline array without a type
- This similarly matches the existing behavior where loot predicate JSON files can be declared as an array of sub-predicates
Network optimizations
- Gameplay packets are now packed into bigger TCP-packets to reduce overhead from TCP-headers, significantly reducing network usage
- Opening the debug screen with CTRL + F3 will now show charts for ping and received network traffic
Secure Chat
- Clients will no longer disconnect themselves when receiving an invalid chat message
- A placeholder message will instead be shown in chat
