The copper age is approaching and it’s time for this drop’s first pre-release. Today’s release includes more copper golem improvements, some changes to the mannequins and several bug fixes. Pre-releases don’t follow the regular Tuesday release schedule, so keep an eye out for the next one.
Changes
Minor Tweaks to Blocks, Items and Entities
Copper Golem now only tries to open Chests that are neighboring blocks when it’s a passenger
Minecraft Server Management Protocol
Notifications now use minecraft:notification/ prefix instead of notification:
Technical Changes
The Data Pack version is now 87.1
Data Pack Version 87.1
Mannequins
Mannequins description text can now be configured
Mannequins now accept minecraft:profile component from spawner items
Modified Data Fields
profile – now has the same format as a minecraft:profile component (which has been extended to allow overrides), defaults to {} (i.e. static profile with both id and name missing)
New Data Fields
pose – The pose of the Mannequin
Valid entries: standing, crouching, swimming, fall_flying, sleeping
immovable – Optional boolean specifying that the Mannequin cannot be moved (defaults to false)
description – Optional Text Component shown where a Player’s below_score score would show
The default “NPC” (entity.minecraft.mannequin.label) text is shown if omitted
hide_description – Optional boolean specifying that no description should be shown at all
A Mannequin with the description hidden displays as if a Player had no below_score display
Commands
The spawnpoint command now optionally takes in a pitch argument
The setworldspawn command is no longer limited to the overworld
This means players can respawn e.g. in the Nether when they have no bed or respawn anchor
It now also takes in an optional pitch argument
Server commands now run from the respawn dimension by default instead of always the overworld
The fetchprofile command now also prints a clickable text to summon a Mannequin with the resolved profile
Data Components
Modified minecraft:profile
Profiles can now also have additional fields that can replace various values used for rendering
If any of the fields are omitted, the value from the resolved profile is used, even if the profile resolved to the default skin
New fields
texture – Optional namespaced ID of the skin texture to use for rendering
The skin is specified relative to the textures folder and with a .png suffix
e.g. entity/player/wide/steve will use the default wide Steve skin
cape – Optional namespaced ID of the cape texture to use for rendering
When specified, uses the same format as the texture field
elytra – Optional namespaced ID of the elytra texture to use for rendering
When specified, uses the same format as the texture field
If this value is not present either as override or in player profile, Mannequins using this profile will use the cape texture, or if that is also not present, the default Elytra texture when wearing Elytra
model – Optional model type, one of wide and slim
Entity Data
Modified minecraft:player
Changes to the respawn object
angle has been renamed to yaw and is now a required field
pitch has been added as a required field
dimension is now a required field

target_entity
