Tweaked the amount of Suspicious Gravel that generates within the structures

Split the loot tables for the Suspicious Gravel within the structure. There is now a dedicated loot table for Rare loot items (e.g. Pottery Sherds, Smithing Templates), and a dedicated loot table for more common loot drops (e.g. Tinted Glass Pane, Tools, Candles, etc.).

Renamed 'Pottery Shards' to 'Pottery Sherds'

Pitcher Plant & Pitcher Crop

Fixed an issue where the plant textures appeared darker

Crafting dye from Pitcher Plant now results in two dyes instead of one

Torchflower

Brown Mooshrooms can now eat Torchflowers

Sniffer

Sniffer can now be tempted by Torchflower Seeds

Sniffer now rather breeds than search and dig for items or be tempted

Sniffer now creates particles while digging

Sniffer can no longer search and dig in water

Made Sniffer walk cycle smoother

Sniffer Egg emits particles only when placed on Moss block to demonstrate faster hatching

Gameplay

Flying is no longer disabled when flying under Stairs

Bees no longer make the player eating sound when eating

User Interface

Added new Trails & Tales Update splash screen texts

Coordinates will not show up on the new death screen when the "Show Coordinates" setting is enabled

The new "You Died!" screen is still in an experimental phase and for now we are removing the coordinates from it while we review the feedback we've had. Please continue to send us you thoughts and feedback here!

Added new Trails & Tales Update loading screen tips

Added exclamation marks to certain splash texts that were missing to match Java Edition

The tooltip for dismounting Camels has been updated to match the one for other rideable mobs

Items

Moved Raiser Armor Trim Smithing Template's icon one pixel to the right

Moved Wayfinder Armor Trim Smithing Template's icon one pixel to the right

Fixed a bug where in some situations an item in an item frame would be too small

Sculk Sensor Phases

Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors now have three phases: Inactive, Active, and Cooldown

The default phase is Inactive

This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration

During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled

When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase

This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors

During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils, and emits a Redstone signal and light

After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase

This phase lasts for 10 game ticks

During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a Redstone signal nor light

Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase

Previously, these phases had different timings:

The Active phase lasted 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors

There was no Cooldown phase

These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them

Technical Updates

Add-Ons and Script Engine

Pumpkin blocks use the string type state "minecraft:cardinal_direction" instead of the int type "direction" state

Commands

Has item command selector now correctly detects whether or not an actor has a filled Map or Firework Star in their inventory

The "inputpermission" command now has a description displayed in the command dialogue preview

Bedrock Editor

Fixed a bug where the default command permission level of the client differed from what was displayed in a multiplayer session

Tool mode movement will now use the vanilla keyboard controls instead of hardcoded W/A/S/D/Space/Shift keys. Movement bindings can now be customized from the settings menu, but some keys might not be available if they are being used by other editor actions

Items

Custom items with 'minecraft:record' show the correct sound description in hover text and on playing in a Jukebox
