DAI 4.2 · CREATOR LEARNING PATHS

What do you want to build?

DAI 4.2 adds datapack-driven title launcher takeover. The 4.1 JSON-first runtime, multiplayer authority, gameplay hooks, screen presentation, Creator schemas and public registry carry forward as the current foundation.

DAI 4.2 documentation: title launcher takeover is the final release addition. It carries forward 38 runtime module gates · 45 built-in Creator schemas · 14 starter presets · screen overrides · scene environments · story archives · input profiles · and the current 269 action / 273 condition runtime inventory.

Final update: DAI 4.2

DAI 4.2 carries forward the 4.1 framework and adds datapack-driven takeover of the Minecraft title launcher, with canonical pause-screen and background-scene routing.
