General

 * Data pack
 * Added registry and, which defines trim patterns and materials respectively, to allow add them via data packs.
 * These are synchronized to clients when they join the server, but the accompanying resource pack is required on client to make them visible.
 * The paths to these textures are inferred based on the filename of the pattern json, and will try to find the textures within the same namespace as the trim pattern's field.
 * defines following data:
 * : a namespaced ID used to infer texture locations and localization.
 * : the ID of the smithing template item used to apply the trim pattern.
 * : a text component used for displaying the pattern name of an armor trim when hovering an armor item stack.
 * defines following data:
 * : a string used as a suffix for armor trim texture locations.
 * : the ID of the ingredient item used to apply the trim material.
 * : a float number which defines the item model override each armor item model should target to change their visuals for this material.
 * : a text component used for displaying the material name of an armor trim when hovering an armor itemstack.
 * The style defined in this description is applied to the armor trim pattern as well.
 * : an optional map of armor material to overriden color palette.
 * Map key is the armor material that this trim material wants to override with a different color palette.
 * Map value is the name of the color palette that will be used when this trim material is applied to an armor piece with the corresponding armor material.


 * Particles
 * Added, which will appear underneath the cherry leaves.


 * player.dat format
 * Added new flag (value 128) to HideFlags NBT field for hiding armor trim item tooltips.


 * Recipe
 * Added recipe serializers for the updated netherite upgrade and the new armor trim recipe respectively.


 * Resource pack
 * Added, which is a new type of atlas configuration source used to dynamically generate new textures in memory based on a set of color palettes.
 * Color palettes allows to swap out the colors of a texture without having to supply all files for the variants of a texture in a resource pack.
 * This is useful for things like armor trims. It can change the their color directly without create a new texture for each color.
 * The source has a set of required parameters:
 * : a list of namespaced locations of base textures.
 * These textures will be used to generate variants of them that have been modified by color palettes.
 * : a namespaced location of a color palette key file.
 * A color palette key is used to define the set of key pixel colors we want to swap out with the color palettes defined below.
 * : a map of permutations from suffix to a namespaced location of a color palette file.
 * The suffix is appended at the beginning to the resource location of the output variant textures, with a character separating the suffix and the base texture name.
 * The color palette is a texture file with a set of pixels that are used for replacing pixels that match the color palette key in each base texture.
 * The number of pixels in each color palette must be the same as that of the defined for this source.
 * Key matching is done by comparing the RGB values of each pixel in the to the RGB values of each pixel in the color palette.
 * Alpha channel is ignored for key matching, but in the resulting texture the alpha channel is multiplied with the color palette's alpha channel.
 * Pixels that do not match the are copied over to the resulting texture as-is.
 * After defining a source, those namespaced output textures can be referenced in other resources in resource pack.
 * For example, if the following source exists:
 * The resulting textures can be referenced in other resources like this:
 * The resulting textures can be referenced in other resources like this:


 * Tags

Blocks

 * Block of Amethyst

 * If that sculk sensor receives a vibration, the block of amethyst will re-emit its frequency as a separate vibration at its location.


 * Note Block
 * Mob heads can now be placed on top of note blocks without sneaking.
 * When placing a mob head on a note block, that note block will now play one of the ambient sounds of that mob when played by a player or powered by redstone.

 * Must be a resource location for a valid sound event.
 * When present, this determines the sound a note block makes when the head is placed on top of it.

 * Existing s are:
 * : Retains existing fields on the block entity.
 * This is the default if no is specified.
 * : Similar to previous this provides fixed fields to add to the block entity.
 * A minor change is that this modifier appends configured fields to the processed block instead of replacing existing fields.
 * : Removes any existing fields on the block entity.
 * : Appends a loot table and seed to the block entity through required parameter:
 * : Referenced loot table to add to block entity as field.
 * Field is also added to the block entity using random seeded by block position.


 * Tags
