1.16 Pre-release 3 — release journal
What 1.16-pre3 changed for data packs, measured against 1.16-pre2, the build before it. Released 2020-06-10; development build — not a release.
⚠ Breaking for data packs
This build removed 1 registry. Any file that referenced them stops loading. attributes looks renamed to attribute (100% of its entries reappear there) — in those cases the fix is likely moving files, not rewriting them.
