A "format_version" field was introduced in 1.21.20 for the blocks.json file. This controls how IDs which were flattened, but remained IDs for a single block, are treated. For example, sponge no longer controls wet_sponge as of format_version 1.21.30.
Two blocks still do not work correctly: dirt and its flattened ID, coarse_dirt. In addition, sandstone and red_sandstone only work when the entries are in a specific order.
For example, the following configuration (from the attached sample pack) should cause dirt and coarse_dirt to do different things:
Dirt: Random texture rotation, sculk sounds
Coarse Dirt: No rotation, bamboo sounds
This does not have the intended result in-game. Coarse dirt still rotates and makes sculk sounds:
Blocks which were flattened and retained their original ID as a single ID can be affected by this problem, but only some IDs are affected. Here is a table:
| Original ID | Flattened IDs | Flattened IDs Apply Separate Properties |
|---|---|---|
| dirt | dirt coarse_dirt |
❌(Never works when both IDs are present, regardless of ID order in blocks.json.) |
| stone | stone andesite polished_andesite granite polished_granite diorite polished_diorite |
✅ |
| prismarine | prismarine prismarine_bricks dark_prismarine |
✅ |
| quartz_block | quartz_block chiseled_quartz_block quartz_pillar smooth_quartz |

| sandstone | sandstone chiseled_sandstone cut_sandstone smooth_sandstone |
❌ (Only works if new ID is placed after original ID in blocks.json. The opposite order fails.) |

❌ (Only works if new ID is placed after original ID in blocks.json. The opposite order fails.) |

Expected Result
When blocks.json format_version is set to 1.21.20 or higher, properties assigned to dirt in will NOT be applied to coarse_dirt, which is a separate block ID as of 1.21.20. Sandstone IDs should do this as well.
Observed Result
In blocks.json with 1.21.20+ format_versions, coarse_dirt properties are still overwritten by dirt, making it impossible to modify properties of both blocks at the same time. sandstone and red_sandstone IDs overwrite properties set earlier in the file for all sandstone variants.
