Technical:

  • Added started_riding, lightning_strike and using_item progress triggers
  • Added source condition to effects_changed trigger
  • Added lightning_bolt sub-predicate
  • Added passenger, stepping_on and lightning_bolt properties to entity predicate
  • Added looking_at to the player sub-predicate
  • Extension of the item field of the objects predicate to items.
  • Extended the block field from the blocks predicate to blocks.
  • Added a shortcut F3+L to generate game performance metrics. In solo worlds, this will also include reports for the built-in server.
    • These will be saved in a zip file found in debug/profiling/<yyyy-MM-dd_HH.mm.ss-[levelname]-[version]>.zip and can be used for performance drop analysis if included in bug reports.
    • The exact measurements, output format and names may change between versions.
  • Pressing F3+L while the game is running will start a 10-second recording to give data such as tick duration, heap size used and other more detailed statistics. Pressing it again before the 10 seconds are up will stop the recording early.
  • The perf start/stop command on dedicated servers now generates server performance metrics.
    Removed debug report command (use perf start/stop for server performance measurement)`
