What 1.16 changed for data packs, measured against 1.16-rc1, the build before it. Released 2020-06-23; full release.

Same data pack format, same registries. That is the strongest safe-for-data-packs signal a diff can give, and it is still not proof — behaviour changes and bug fixes are invisible to it.
