⚙️ Technical Changes in 21w15a

Markers
- Only exist on the server side, are never sent to clients
- Do not do any updates of their own
- Have a data compound field that can contain any data

🐛 /debug function
- Every executed command, message (even if it would be normally invisible), result or error is stored to file
- Cannot be run from inside functions

Chat component separators
- Components that print lists of names, like selector or nbt can now override separator (", " by default) with separator element
- Examples: {"selector": "@e[type=chicken]", "separator": "|"} {"nbt": "CustomName", "entity": "@e[type=chicken]", "interpret": true, "separator": {"text": "*", "color": "red"}}
- {"selector": "@e[type=chicken]", "separator": "|"}
- {"nbt": "CustomName", "entity": "@e[type=chicken]", "interpret": true, "separator": {"text": "*", "color": "red"}}

Custom server resource packs
- A dedicated server can configure additional message to be shown on resource pack prompt (resource-pack-prompt in server.properties, expects chat component syntax, can contain multiple lines)
