Additions

1.21.130 block and item additions

Items

Nautilus Armor

Equippable on nautiluses and zombie nautiluses.
Has copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite variants.
- Copper, iron, golden, and diamond nautilus armor now have a chance to be found in the chests for the following structures:
- Copper, iron and golden nautilus armor can be smelted into the respective nuggets.

Spawn Eggs

Added nautilus, zombie nautilus, camel husk, and parched spawn eggs.

Spear

New weapon that can be crafted in wood, stone, copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite versions.
- Each material has different stats for timing, influencing how fast they are to use.
- Copper, iron and golden spears can be smelted into the respective nuggets.
Can be enchanted with the exclusive enchantment Lunge, in addition to the available enchantments for swords.
Has a minimum reach for damage, being too close to a target will yield no damage.
- Has extended maximum reach compared to other tools and weapons.
Zombies, husks, zombified piglins and piglins can spawn holding a spear.
Has two attacks: jab and charge.
- Jab
  - Used by quick-pressing the primary action button.
  - Is a low-damage attack with knockback.
  - Has a cooldown between attacks.
  - Wooden spears have the fastest cooldown, while netherite has the slowest.
  - Can hit multiple enemies.
- Charge
  - Used by holding the secondary action button.
  - Damage is based on spear material, the player’s view angle, and the velocity of both the player and the target.
  - While holding down the button, the attack goes through three stages before returning to idle:
    - Engaged: The spear can deal damage, knockback, and dismount mounted enemies if the speed is above the required thresholds.
    - Tired: Indicated by the spear rotating to a vertical position and shaking. The spear can deal damage and knockback (but not dismount) if the speed is above the required thresholds.
    - Disengaged: Indicated by the spear being lowered, pointing downwards. The Spear gives damage but not knockback or dismount if the speed is above the required threshold.
  - The spear's range when used by mobs is half of that when used by players, but they can deal damage, dismount and knockback at lower speeds than the players.

API Infra

Modernized CommandOutputPacket serialization
- Max number of "Output Messages" are now 100.
- Field "Message Id", set max size to 512 characters.
- Max number of "Parameters" are now 512.
Modernized CommandRequestPacket serialization.
- Field "Request ID", set max size to 39 characters.

Blocks

Added component minecraft:support.
Added a new block trait, minecraft:connection, to expose behavior like fences or glass panes where blocks connect to other blocks around them. Using this trait with the example below adds the bool states minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south and minecraft:connection_west.
Added component minecraft:connection_rule behind the Upcoming Creator Features toggle, which allows custom blocks to define whether other blocks with connection behavior - such as fences, walls, bars, and glass panes - can try to create a connection.
Added VanillaBlockTag minecraft:has_fence_connections that can be used to identify a custom block as a block that creates connections like a fence; this tag is required to create connections between custom and Vanilla fences.
- The component and tag can be used along with the minecraft:connection block trait to make a custom fence that creates connections like a Vanilla fence.
Added new state minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction to the minecraft:placement_direction block trait, which enables the minecraft:corner with values none, inner_left, inner_right, outer_left, and outer_right to provide similar behavior to how stairs in Vanilla work.
- When this is set, you can use the field blocks_to_corner_with to decide the criteria with an array of block descriptors to determine what blocks to form a corner with.
  - With the Beta APIs toggle on, Vanilla Stairs have the tag minecraft:cornerable_stairs available, and can corner with custom blocks with the same tag if the block also uses minecraft:cardinal_direction block states.
  - The default behavior for this field is to corner with the same block name.
    - This all requires the Beta APIs toggle to be enabled on a world and the use_beta_features flag on your block.

Changes

Technical

API

Debug drawing tech in @minecraft/debug-utilities now supports rendering shapes in different dimensions:

- Added dimension readonly property to DebugShape.
- Changed the constructors of all the debug shapes to instead take a variant of Vector3 or DimensionLocation.

API Infra
