Update 1.21 without trial chambers
This datapack enables the experimental features of update 1.21 but excludes trial chambers and breezes. It's particularly important to note that in versions 1.20.5 and above, the new raid mechanics will also be active - pillagers will now drop ominous bottles instead of applying the bad omen effect.
