Predicates
  • player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt, and catType fields have been replaced with type_specific.
  • type_specific has field  type (one of player, fishing_hook, lightning_bolt or cat) and same fields as removed fields.

   "blocks_set_on_fire": 0

  • After:
  "type_specific": {
    "type": "lightning",
    "blocks_set_on_fire": 0
  }
  • catType has been wrapped to match new format and now uses new cat variant names instead of texture names.
  • Before:
"catType": "minecraft:textures/entity/cat/british_shorthair.png"
  • After:
 "type_specific": {
    "type": "cat",
    "variant": "minecraft:british"
 }
  • New type_specific options:
