Data component format

• Added minecraft:death_protection item stack component.

Loot tables

• Chickens laying eggs is now controlled by a loot table found at gameplay/chicken_lay.
• Armadillos randomly dropping scutes is now controlled by a loot table found at gameplay/armadillo_shed.
• The loot given by villagers is now controlled by two additional loot tables:
  • gameplay/hero_of_the_village/unemployed_gift - used if the villager is unemployed.
  • gameplay/hero_of_the_village/baby_gift - used if the villager is a baby.

Predicates

• Added minecraft:salmon entity sub-predicate.

Ender pearl

• Ender Pearls now ensure that the chunk they are in or travel into is always loaded and ticking.
• They also load chunks when crossing to a new dimension, so that they can always continue to travel.
• This ensures that Ender Pearls can always land, and makes cross dimensional ender pearl traveling more predictable.
• Ender Pearls now unload when a player logs out, and reappear whenever that player logs back in, similar to how mounts currently behave
• Each Ender Pearl creates a ticket for chunk loading any time it moves into a new chunk, and also periodically every 10 seconds.
