Technical News in Minecraft Snapshot 21w42a
Snapshot 21w42a bring us a new particle option for rendering textures as billboards and a separate datapack path for worldgen noise definitions - check out the technical news right here!
This is an unofficial update video that aims to be the most comprehensive guide possible. Official announcement: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/artic... #minecraftemployee

Change Highlights in this version:
Particles:
Replaced light and barrier particles with block_marker
Renders with texture declared in particle slot for model assigned to configured block state
Summoned with same syntax as block particle (i.e. block_marker wheat[age=2])
Resource Packs:
light blocks now have a model per light level block state instead of one single model
New music disc texture for otherside
Custom Worlds:
Fixed MC-238900: Values of 'Infinity' in noise settings in default worldgen
The cave_surface decorator now has an allow_water boolean field
In the vanilla files, the small_dripstone feature has been removed and a pointed_dripstone feature has been added instead, which is what uses the allow_water field in vanilla
It also uses a new decorator: scatter
has xz_spread and y_spread fields, both int providers
New int provider: clamped_normal, works just like the float provider with the same name
Noise definitions now have their own folder - simply called noise
Noises in other files have been named and moved to their own files in that folder
Also means noise definitions can be individually overridden by replacing that file with a datapack
Thanks to Fabian, JochCool & Octojen for the assistance!
