Changes

Mobs

Hoglins

• Baby hoglins now attack players again.

Technical

Data-Driven Items

• Added an optional mob_amount parameter to the Damage Event Response that specifies a unique damage amount when used by mobs.

Experimental

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Wild Update" and "Vanilla Experiments" experimental toggle.

Additions

Items

Boat with Chest

• Function similarly to minecart with chests, but in boats instead, so player can take a journey on the water and carry things.
• Crafted by combining a chest with any boat.

World generation

Deep Dark

• New biome at the "deepest depths of the world".
• Tends to generate under continental/mountainous areas, exclusively within the deepslate layer between Y=-1 and Y=-64.
• The floor is covered in sculk and contains all sculk-related blocks.
• With the exception of spawners, no mobs other than wardens can spawn there, similar to mushroom fields.

Changes

Items

Copper Horn

• Changed the texture.

Mobs

Allay

• Now has a delay for picking new items after delivering items.
• Now only pick up the exact same item it holds.
• Now stay close to a note block that has been played near it.
• Are now immune to damage from its owner.
