Large Chest and Large Trapped Chest

• Slightly changed their texture.

Trees

• The limitations on which blocks can be replaced by Dark Oak and Acacia trees now also apply to their branches, not just their trunks.

API

• Changed "Unsupported or out of bounds value.." errors to use ArgumentOutOfBoundsError Error type

Blocks

• Added the ability for data-driven blocks to remove faces in the geometry when abutting a full and opaque block.
  • A new field has been added to the Block Geometry Component, which references a new Culling .json file (found in the resource pack block_culling directory) that sets up culling rules for the tessellated geometry.

Dimension API

• setWeather method argument duration now uses ArgumentOutOfBoundsError Error type.

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Update 1.21", and "Beta APIs" experimental toggle.

• If the Trial Spawner has less than two seconds remaining to spawn a mob when detecting a player, the spawn delay is set to two seconds.

Breeze

• The Breeze now reflects all projectiles.
• The Breeze now reflects projectiles back toward the shooting entity, with a 40-degree spread.
• The pixels at the bottom of the Breeze's torso rods now match with their surrounding colors.

API

• PropertyOutOfBoundsError
  • Added a new PropertyOutOfBoundsError that throws when a property that is bounded is set out of bounds.
• ContainerSlot APIs now throw an InvalidContainerSlotError if the container slot is invalid, or if a property is set on an empty slot.
• Property typeId no longer returns undefined for empty slots, but instead throws an InvalidContainerSlotError.
• Added function hasItem - Returns whether the slot contains an item.
• Added function getCanPlaceOn - Returns an array of block identifiers that the item can be placed on.
• Added function getCanDestroy - Returns an array of block identifiers that the item can destroy when used.
