I agree, it would be amazing to have those features in vannila minecraft.

[@MerlinSpace]

If data driven blocks were realistically possible they would have been added years before data driven enchantments were a thing. As it stands, all blocks are already registered and frozen before the player even sees the main menu.

[@atomic_dreamz]

@@MerlinSpace I don't think so, I think (and hope) Mojang is paving the way by making as many functionalities data driven as possible so that they can add data driven blocks, items and more, more cleanly and without changing all at every versions

[@mromg8282]

Data-driven GUI would be wild. Could get quite complex tho, with items slots, fuel, output, and other things. You could basically do all-in-one crafting station.

[@NitFlickwick]

I’m really excited to see where Mojang is going with these changes. I feel like they are really working to turn Minecraft into an actual development platform, where we may not see Minecraft v2, but, instead, some totally new games based on the entire game engine, allowing experimentation into new concepts without “breaking” Minecraft. I wonder if that is going to be opened in a commercial sense, so third party devs can build actual for-profit games on the engine, or if it will just be for internal development (and modding, of course).

This latest update is insane. The number of mechanics that are becoming increasingly customizable thanks to resource packs and datapacks is incredible and increasingly revolutionary. Déjà que le Component "item_model" permetait d'est choses incroyable, ce system de "Item state" est encore plus incroyable. And all this acceleration of advanced feature thanks to Components. Clearly an idea that has completely revolutionized the game in depth, just as "the Flatering" did in 1.13.

[@Illvidri]

I should probably put this in the minecraft suggestions section, and maybe this is something this snapshot fixes, but, as a server developer, one thing I would really like to see would be an item component which provides a backup texture for minecraft:item_model and minecraft:equippable if a player opts to not use the provided resource pack (I feel like using custom model data (at least as it was before) is a bit clunky).

[@ElysiaSakura]

sooo.... RIP MCPatcher/Optifine format resource packs? this snapshot is a huge gamechanger

[@Grafii2198]

CIT will still be useful for server stuff, unless the server takes advantage of these new stuff ofc, but the bigger ones will take some time for them to adapt if they gonna ever use it at all. CIT is like a layer that works above the normal minecraft stuff, if you gonna change stuff the vanilla way then it would overwrite COMPLETELY that part of server rp, while with CIT you let the server rp do its stuff always unless the specific case is made, then your overwrites in this specific case will happen. Ofc if the server uses these new formats with item components then it won't be an issue, as everything would be its own separate and independent thing anyway

[@sva3338]

The only thing Minecraft Java needs left is a custom entity model system. The bedrock edition has a custom entity model system, while the Java edition has none. We have to rely on Optifine, which nobody uses anymore.

[@XYZ_youtube]

Would be really cool to have this and render different entity models depending on the NBT data. Could be used to make sheared sheep have different textures depending on the color like on bedrock.

[@Velocifyer]

Or Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features (fabric mods that reimplement MCpatcher/optifine format CEM) (make sure you have both)

[@usainsrht]

the bottle, apple and ender pearl animations should be in the game

[@RoarkCats]

Really don't like that the block entity data warning is unhidable, that shouldn't be forced on all situations, maybe a server setting for it or a way to disable it in components, I get the intent but I feel like in most cases it's unnecessary and hurts immersion

With all of these new features which work best when using both a data pack and a resource pack together, it would be great to eventually see some sort of combined pack introduced allowing us to bundle both types of resources together.

[@Will_-it3mh]

probably becuase regular chests already have that functionality.(they turn into gifts on xmas)

But being able to check for date would give more options of what you can make. Then we could give items different textures on other special events such as halloween. Being able to check for the date server side with commands or data packs would also be handy.

Great video. Now I just need to find examples of how to make use of these features. I work on resource packs often, but I cannot write Json straight from my head even if I can understand Json when reading. I am completely reliant on copy-pasting existing code found somewhere and editing it. So I will need to wait to learn from packs made from others anyway for the things not made use of by the vanilla resources.

[@NeunEinser]

You can Google for Misode's generators. It's essentially a GUI were you can create definitions and then copy the resulting JSON.

[@maralnor02]

@@NeunEinser Interesting. I have known of that site from before, but didn't know it now have tools outside of datapack. I have now explored the generators, and they are very nice. But I still get just as confused of how and when and why the use of property, tint, cases, entry, base, scale, entries is right as when I had to look through examples of the uses to be able to use them myself.

[@NeunEinser]

@@maralnor02 I'm not quite sure what you mean. Those do different things and you use them when you want to do the thing they do :D

[@maralnor02]

​@@NeunEinser Yes, I know all that. But the confusing comes when I have an idea, and I don't know which of those I should use to get what want. I don't see the difference between these new definitions, and why one is used and not another. Like, which of "condition" and "select" should I use? What definition is the right to use to get what I want? Why should I use "list, and not "string"? What am I supposed to write to get what I want in a specific field? How should I format a string to make it work? How can I use multiple blockstates in items files, if I even can? To have the work done in a graphical interface rater than in notepad++ doesn't help me with knowing what parts is needed to end up with the result I want. But at least the syntax will be correct with those generators. I am familiar with how things are done with blocks, but I will still totally use Blockbench if I do anything with actual models. The best I can do myself today without looking at a reference is to duplicate existing elements, tweaking some numbers, switch between true/false, and change out a file reference as long as any file is already referenced there. I do know just about where each definition is placed for the system for blocks, but it is far from enough for me to be able to just write out the syntax. To know when and how to use #, :, "": ( ), and [ ] is completely out of the picture for me. And this new syntax for items is new and therefore even more confusing just now.

[@NeunEinser]

@@maralnor02 condition is checking a boolean, so when you want to test something that can either be true or false, and apply a different model based on that. Select is similar to condition but is used for properties that can have different value types than simply true or false, so you could have a nuneric property and have a model for when it's 1, one for 2, and another one for 3. There are some places that allow either a list of values (like strings) or a single value. The single value is just shorthand for a list of length 1, both do the same thing, but it spares you from using square brackets. You should be able to specify multiple blockstates that have to match at the same time by nesting another select into the "when" case of the outer one, or if you want to render multiple models on top of each other, you could use composite.

Lorewise it is refering to how much precipitation there is, but in game the downfall field only affects grass and foliage color in each biome.
