 * General
 * Changed mob attack reach calculation.
 * In horizontal directions, mobs' attack reach are now their bounding box extended in horizontal directions, instead of using horizontal width to determine.
 * For example, a ravager won't be able to attack through a few block thick walls.
 * In vertical directions, mobs' attack reach are now the exact vertical range of their bounding box. When there's no overlap between their bounding box and their target's bounding box in vertical direction, they can not attack, in specific:
 * Riding a medium-sized mob (e.g. horse) can get rid of attacks from small mobs (e.g. baby zombie).
 * Riding a tall mob (e.g. camel) can get rid of attacks from standard size mobs (e.g. zombie).
 * Some mob's reaching height now extended (e.g. enderman, safety height changed from 1.5 to 3).

General

 * Data pack
 * Added  field to armor trim patterns (default:  ).
 * If, the pattern texture will be masked based on the underlying armor.


 * Debug screen
 * The charts on the debug screen can now be toggled with the key combinations (pie chart),  (FPS and TPS), and  (bandwidth and ping) instead of,  and.
