Decently large update that adds a few gameplay changes (including a few features from 1.21 snapshots) and improves QOL, performance, fixes a LOT of bugs and makes the game easier to mod/develop. I have also laid down the groundwork for features like Trial Chambers which will be coming next update.
Worldgen:
Added Desert Wells for Suspicious Sand (Instead of it spawning in random blobs)
Changed the frequency of Ruined Portals and Trail Ruins
Updated loot tables of all structures to be more accurate to the real game
Added Copper Ore
Added Soul Sand Valley mini-biome in the Nether
Mobs:
Added Armadillos found in the Savannah, that rolls up when in danger and can be brushed for Scute
Added Wolf Armour that can be equipped on tamed wolfs and removed with shears. They have 52 durability and their durability corresponds to the amount of damage the wolf wearing it had taken (Wolfs still dont attack hostile mobs, that is planned for the next update)
Miscellaneous:
Added Soul Speed Enchantment, obtained only from bartering with Piglins or from Bastions. Its applied to leggings and makes you go 45% faster when walking on Soul Sand
Blocks like Honey, Cobwebs, Sweet Berry Bushes and Soul Sand now slow you down when you walk on/through them
Revamped the Golden Crown item, (inspired by the TCC datapack). It’s been renamed to the Cursed Crown and when worn any mob you kill will drop 1-3 golden nuggets
Hoppers have been revamped, now they can be placed sideways and can transfer items into composters, decorated pots and furnaces
You can now put items in decorated pots using hoppers
Added Spyglass which can be used to see things from far away
Added Copper Blocks, Cut Copper, Chiseled Copper, Copper Grates and Copper Bulbs which oxidize over time. They can be waxed with Honey Comb to prevent oxidizing and an axe can be used to un-oxidize them
Added Soul Soil used to craft soul torches/lanterns and found in the nether
Added 3 new advancements to do with new copper blocks: Wax on, Wax off and Lighten Up
Added Tuff Blocks and its variants and added Chiseled Variants to certain blocks
Added Copper Bulbs which emit light when powered but get dimmer as they oxidize
Added nuke
Technical:
Plants like vines, bamboo and sugar cane now no longer need to be bonemealed at the tip
Recoded the loot table system so that its easier to code and control the rarity of certain items, also made all loot tables more accurate to the actual game
Revamped DEBUG menu showing more information
Added /place command used to spawn in structures
Added /cursor command to toggle cursor modes
Added /loot command to give you an item from a particular loot table
Added /chest command to place a chest from a particular loot table
Added /setblock command used to place blocks
Added /drop command used to spawn in harvested items
Added /killdrop command that deletes all dropped items
Advancement toasts no longer lag the game
Made code simpler and easier to mod (Dev tools can be found in ‘Villager Trading’ sprite)
GUI of Hoppers, Smithing Tables, Grindstones and Anvils now have their own GUI instead of being reskinned chests/crafting tables
Technical:
Added /place command to spawn in structures
If you hit a mob with its favourite food it no longer takes damage
Wolf armour can now be put on sitting dogs
Bastions now generate properly
Hoppers no longer overflow
Soul Soil now also produces Soul Fire
