    Advancements

    New triggers

    started_riding

    • Triggered when player starts riding a vehicle or entity starts riding vehicle currently ridden by player
    • Conditions:
      • player - either a player that started riding or one of boat passengers #### lightning_strike
    • Triggered when lighthing finishes (i.e. entity disappears)
    • Triggers for any player on server
    • Conditions
      • player - player for which this trigger runs
      • lightning - predicate for lightning entity
      • bystander - predicate for one of the entities in certain area around strike not hurt by it #### using_item
    • Triggered for every tick of using items (like crossbows, spyglass, fishing rods, etc)
    • Conditions
      • player - players that uses item
      • item - item being used

    Changed triggers

    effects_changed

    • Added source triggers which matches entity that triggered the change
    • Might be empty when:
      • there is no entity (for example, effect gained from beacon)
      • the effect is self-applied
      • effect is removed

    Changed predicates

    Item predicate

    • item field expended to items, now accepting array of item types #### Block predicate
    • block field expended to blocks, now accepting array of block types #### Entity predicate
    • passenger - new sub-predicate for passenger directly riding this vehicle (if present, must match one or more)
    • stepping_on - location predicate for block entity is currently standing on
    • lightning_bolt - sub-predicate valid only for lightning bolt entity

    Player predicate

    • looking_at - entity currently viewed by player
      • uses same line-of-sight rules as attacking mobs
      • actual detection radius might be changed in future

    Lightning bolt

    • blocks_set_on_fire - range check for of blocks set on fire by this entity
    • entity_struck - predicate for entities struck by this lightning (if present, must match one or more)

    Performance metrics reporting

    These will be saved to a zip file in debug/profiling/<yyyy-MM-dd_HH.mm.ss-[levelname]-[version]>.zip and could be used for performance regression analysis if included in bug reports.

    The exact metrics, output format, and names are susceptible to change between versions. Our plan is to continue iterating on which metrics to capture.

    Client F3+L shortcut

    Pressing F3+L while in the game will start a recording for 10 seconds capturing metrics such as tick durations, used heap sizes and other more detailed stats.

    Pressing F3+L before the 10 second limit will end the recording early.

    This shortcut is always available to clients, even on multi-player servers where it will record client-side performance.

    Dedicated Server perf start/stop command

    perf start will start a recording for 10 seconds capturing metrics such as tick durations, used heap sizes and other more detailed stats.

    perf stop before the 10 second limit will end the recording early.
