Are your maps/datapacks updated for 1.17 yet?
Not much has changed, but especially the "/replaceitem" -> "/item replace" change has the potential to break a lot.

@misode_ has made a web-tool that can help you out.

10/ This change may invalidate conditions in advancement criteria with any of these triggers (thanks @PaintCreates) and loot tables that use any of the affected predicates. Data-Pack Helper Plus gives the possibility to convert files to the new format.

Minecraft 1.17 pre-release 1 announced for tomorrow.
Boq also mentioned a breaking change to loot tables on the Minecraft Commands Discord server:

Hi everyone! We've run into an unexpected problem and will not be releasing a snapshot today. Stay tuned for the first 1.17 Pre-release tomorrow!

Minecraft snapshot 21w20a adds a new "HasVisualFire" NBT flag for entities. Setting it to true will make the entity display on fire, even if it's not actually on fire.
The fire persists underwater (as noticed by/visual courtesy of Arbo on the Minecraft Commands Discord server).

REALMS-5322 - "Custom world generation from datapacks does not work in Java Realms" - has just been confirmed to be "Working As Intended" on the bug tracker.

Don't expect custom world generation to be supported by Realms until it is officially "not experimental any more".

An explanation of the new block tags in Minecraft snapshot 21w19a

tl;dr: "mineable" tags determine not only which tool mines a block the fastest, but also for some blocks whether or not using a tool will cause the block's loot table to be used.

[MINECRAFT DATApACK NEWS 🌐 @DATApACKNEWS]

Snapshot 21w19a has been released, adding a handful of useful block tags and restructuring arguments of the new /item command.

JSON text components that show multiple objects separated with commas (e.g. selectors) can now have their separator (i.e. commas) overridden with an optional text component.

This is especially useful to concatenate text components or to create UIs using custom fonts.

Here comes snapshot 21w15a, with marker entities, separators in text components, and a new "/debug function" subcommand.

"/debug function" will run through a function and save command outputs and results to a file. Example of output by Boq:

The marker is a new entity added for commands and data packs to use. It is not sent to clients, making it by far more efficient than other entities. Farewell, area effect clouds!
Markers also have a "data" NBT field that can save arbitrary NBT data, like storages can.
