Minecraft 1.20 patch notes - Final changes for Trails and Tales
Fixed bugs in 1.20 Release Candidate 1
- MC-256477 Knowledge books can't be placed in chiseled bookshelves
- MC-262853 Pitcher plant breaks and floats when growing without enough light
Pre-Release 7 Changes
To improve safety, the game will now detect symbolic links used inside world directory.
- If the target of a symbolic link is not on the user-configured allow-list, the game will not proceed with loading the world.
- Note: world directory itself can still be linked.
- The list of allowed symbolic link targets is stored in file allowed_symlinks.txt in client or server top directory
- The file consists of entries (one per line) with following formats allowed:
- Lines starting with # are comments and are ignored
- [type]pattern, where type can be glob, regex or prefix
- Prefix matches start of path with given pattern (so for /test paths /test, /test/ and /test/foo.txt would match)
- Regex matches regular expression against whole path
- Glob uses OS-specific path matching mechanism (for example *.txt would usually match files with txt extension)
- Note: paths will use OS-specific separators
- Pattern, which uses default prefix type
Fixed bug in 1.20 Pre-release 7
MC-257778 Bamboo Mosaic Slabs and Stairs are not in the #slabs and #stairs block and item tags

Technical Changes
- "item": "minecraft:air" can no longer be used in datapack recipes
- Ingredients in array form are now also allowed in smithing_trim and smithing_transform recipes on fields template, base and addition
- Those fields also allow empty arrays, which signalize that slot needs to be left empty

- Random sequences - The ID of the random sequence is now an optional field. If no sequence name is given, loot is drawn using a non-deterministic random source.
