Minecraft: Bedrock Edition

Chaos Cubed has landed in Minecraft! Hunt for vibrant Sulfur springs in the Overworld to discover a striking cave biome hidden below. Swim in bubbling Sulfur pools if you dare, build with colorful Cinnabar and Sulfur, but best of all – uncover the Sulfur Cube’s relentless appetite for blocks! From bouncing and sliding to explosive surprises, this unpredictable mob unlocks exciting new ways to build, compete, and survive depending on what you feed it. Chaos is only a block away in our newest drop. Play today in Minecraft!

Chaos Cubed Features

Bucket of Sulfur Cube

• Need an easy way of getting your new Sulfur Cube friend from the Sulfur caves to your base? Sure, you could experiment with blocks to make the Sulfur Cube bounce, slide, or traverse long distances – or you can just scoop it up with a bucket and tuck it safely away in your inventory.

Sulfur Cubes

• Sulfur Cubes are a new mob coming to Minecraft with a curious appetite for... blocks! Found in Sulfur caves, this curious mob transforms depending on which block the player feeds it. Experiment and discover how to send Sulfur Cubes bouncing, sliding, and more!

Sulfur springs

• Found across the Overworld, you’ll know if you’ve spotted a Sulfur pool thanks to its Sulfur and Cinnabar blocks – and the noxious gas coming from it! But dig beneath these and you’ll discover a Sulfur cave, filled with new blocks to mine and a new mob to meet!

Potent Sulfur

• The new potent Sulfur block is the reason why Sulfur springs are so bubbly – and a bit nauseating. You can also create hot bubbling pools by placing potent Sulfur beneath water! You’ll soon spy bubble columns, as well as puffs of noxious gas. Build with caution, because noxious gas will trigger nausea in players and nearby mobs!

Sulfur caves

• Discover this new cave type, with shallow pools of water and glow lichen. Sulfur caves are filled with yellow blocks of Sulfur, red blocks of Cinnabar, Sulfur spikes, and a curious mob called the Sulfur Cube!

New block sets

• You’ll find two new block sets in Sulfur caves – Cinnabar and Sulfur! These new blocks allow you to add rich reds and yellows into your builds, and each comes with its own full block set. Cobble them, craft with them, turn them into stairs or bricks – the choice is yours!

Sulfur Spikes

• Sulfur Spikes grow on Cinnabar and Sulfur blocks, giving Sulfur caves a distinctive look. Unlike Pointed Dripstone, stepping on Sulfur Spikes is harmless, but they can still fall and hurt you – it’s just a pretty rare occurrence.

Geysers

• Watch your step or you’ll go flying! Geysers form when a Magma block is generated or placed underneath a potent Sulfur block that’s submerged underneath 1 to 4 blocks of water. Use them for a vertical boost or a dramatic landscaping element!

Special block: TNT

• Why would anyone feed a TNT block to a Sulfur Cube? To see what happens, of course! Try it out for yourself, ignite it, and enjoy (or deeply regret) the explosive results.

Special block: Magma

• Play hot potato by having a Sulfur Cube absorb a Magma block.

Data-driven UI (DDUI)

We have significantly updated the implementation of DDUI as we prepare for stabalization. Please test the latest changes in this week's preview and let us know if you're seeing any issue.

• Replaced Observable with ObservableString, ObservableNumber, ObservableUIRawMessage, and ObservableBoolean.

• Instead of using Observable.create you should now use the constructor, i.e. new ObservableString("hello!")

• Renamed DropdownItem to DropdownItemData

• Changed values of DataDrivenScreenClosedReason :

• UserClose -> ClientClosed

• ServerClose -> ServerClosed

• UserBusy is unchanged

• Fixed a bug where you could not show ModalFormData or MessageFormData directly after CustomForm or MessageBox.

• Released MessageBox, CustomForm, and all supporting APIs out of beta and into @minecraft/server-ui 2.1.0

Biome Components

• The following biome components have been taken out of beta and are available starting with the "1.26.30" format version:

• "minecraft:surface_builder"

• "minecraft:subsurface_builder"

• The minecraft:noise_gradient surface builder type has been updated. The API is the same as before, but the noise ranges provided are now clamped to the range [-1, 1] instead of [0, 1]

Blocks

Fixed a bug where the "minecraft:material_instances" on custom blocks would override the "minecraft:material_instances" inside a "minecraft:item_visual", causing custom blocks held by the player to be rendered incorrectly ( MCPE-234766 )

Fixed permutation component constraints for multi-blocks with format_version >= 1.26.20

Released the culling_shape field in the minecraft:geometry component from behind the VoxelShapes experiment. Non-unit-Cube culling shapes for vanilla blocks (e.g. fences, bells, slabs) still require the experiment.

Released the snow logging behavior for Block Precipitation Interaction component out of experimental. The feature requires version 1.21.120+

Fixed bug where custom blocks with random_offset would be put back in the center of its position when snow logged.

Changed the precipitation behavior value from "snow_log_no_collision" to "snowlogging" to avoid confusion regarding its functionality.

Added n_way_visual_rotation field to block geometry component, which takes the name of a block state as a string, which drives visual-only rotation of the block based on that state. Supported states are: "minecraft:cardinal_direction", "minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation", and all custom states.

Added "minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation" as an enabled state for the "minecraft:placement_direction" block trait, which will automatically apply a state value from 0-15 based on player rotation at time of block placement.

Fixed block traits not respecting experimental requirements for format_version >= 1.26.20

Blocks with a custom beforeOnPlayerPlace scripting event placed by an item with a minecraft:block_placer component no longer desyncs upon placement ( MCPE-238017 )

Added the lava_flammable field to the minecraft:flammable component

• Supported values are always and never (default)

• When set to always , the block is considered when lava attempts to spread fire after adjacent block updates, while still respecting normal fire placement rules

• When set to never , the block is excluded from that check

• The "lava_flammable" field of the "minecraft:flammable" component is now usable without the Experimental Upcoming Creator Features

Client Entities

• Added the hide_held_items Molang expression property to minecraft:client_entity 's scripts section that hides held items when it evaluates to a non-zero value

Components

Fixed an assert that would occur when trying to use the minecraft:noise_gradient builder type inside a minecraft:surface_builder biome component if the biome definition's schema version was set to beta .

Added field 'stop_if_holding_item' to "minecraft:behavior.pickup_items"

• Defaults to false,

• If true, the mob will not pick up another item if the item's preferred slot matches

Commands

Fixed command auto-completion for custom block states with integer values showing incorrect zero-based indices instead of the actual defined values ( MCPE-236301 )

Removed the locatorbar boolean gamerule. Worlds that previously had locatorbar set to true will automatically migrate to the new playerWaypoints Game Rule with a value of everyone , and false will migrate to off .

Added the playerWaypoints gamerule as a replacement for the deprecated locatorbar Game Rule. Accepted values are off (players are not shown on the locator bar) and everyone (all players are visible on the locator bar).

/stopsound command now produces exactly one success or failure message upon completion ( MCPE-236165 )

/playsound command now produces exactly one success or failure message upon completion ( MCPE-236157 )

Change how the localization process percentage signs in formatted strings: a numbered form with an invalid parameter will be left as it is

Fixed an issue where every /camerashake add changed the shake types of previously added shake events

Fix missing suggestions for commands typed after '/execute run setblock' ( MCPE-238266 )

Entity Components

The following entity components have been taken out of beta and are available starting with the "1.26.30" format version:

• "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules"

• "minecraft:pushable_by_entity"

• "minecraft:bounciness"

• "minecraft:air_drag_modifier"

Added the use_self_as_damage_source property to the minecraft:area_attack component

• If set to false, other entites won't retaliate against the attacking entity

Added "presets" field to the "minecraft:pushable_by_entity" component, allowing customization of push behavior per entity type

• These changes are in beta format version, the intent is to add these changes to format version 1.26.30, when going out of beta

• Each preset entry supports the following fields:

• "filter", conditions that must be met for the preset to be applied

• "push_mode", the type of push calculation: "default", "legacy_boat", or "legacy_minecart"

• "strength_multiplier", scales the push force applied to the entity

• "min_distance", minimum distance between entities for push forces to be applied

• "push_scale_self", scales how much push force this entity applies to itself away on collision

• "push_scale_other", scales how much push force this entity applies to the other entity on collision

• "play_sound_cooldown_in_seconds", cooldown in seconds between sounds, a lower number results in more sounds

• "play_sound_impulse_threshold", minimum change of velocity needed to trigger the push sound, a lower value means higher sensitivity

Added unleash_on_removal field to minecraft:leashable component

• When set to true (the default), the entity is unleashed from the entity it is leashed to once the component is removed

• Entities with format versions prior to 1.26.30 will have this field defaulted to false to preserve existing behavior

Added unleash_on_removal field to minecraft:leashable_to component

• When set to true (the default), entities leashed to the entity are unleashed once the component is removed

• Entities with format versions prior to 1.26.30 will have this field defaulted to false to preserve existing behavior

Added the field extra_knockback_approach to minecraft:apply_knockback_rules preset settings for handling extra knockback from enchantments, sprinting and swimming

• reapply_default preserves the current behaviour where knockback is reapplied with the new power and a default preset

• multiply instead combines it into the original knockback calculation by multiplying the power value in the preset provided by minecraft:apply_knockback_rules

Made several changes to minecraft:pushable_by_entity presets:

• The min_distance field now controls the minimum range at which push interactions can occur for all push_mode values

• Distance is measured as the horizontal distance between the centers of the two entities

• Renamed the kick_distance_threshold field to max_distance , which now controls the maximum range at which push interactions can occur for all push_mode values

• Distance is measured as the horizontal distance between the center of the pushed entity and the edge of the pushing entity's collision box

• Added a play_sound field to control whether the pushed_by_player sound is played

• Added a new none value to the push_mode field, which disables pushing behavior entirely

Entity Event Responses

Added unleash entity event response

• If its unleash_self field is set to true, it unleashes the entity from the entity it is leashed to

• If its unleash_others field is set to true, it unleashes all entities that are leashed to the entity

Entity Filters

Added the redstone_strength_at_position entity filter that tests the redstone signal strength at the subject entity's position

The redstone_strength_at_position entity filter now correctly evaluates to 0 when no signal is present

The redstone_strength_at_position entity filter now correctly evaluates to the redstone strength when a Redstone Wire is pointing at the evaluated position

Features

Adding a new feature type height_difference_filter_feature

• This feature is meant to be used as a filter to filter away positions based on height differences close to the placed feature

• Example usage to allow Pink Petals to only place close to cliffs: { "format_version": "1.26.30", "minecraft:height_difference_filter_feature": { "description": { "identifier": "minecraft:pink_petals_near_cliff_feature" }, "places_feature": "minecraft:pink_petals_feature", "min_required_negative_height_diff": 5, "search_radius": 5 } }

• min_required_upward_height_diff Specifies the minimum height difference required upwards

• min_required_downward_height_diff Specifies the minimum height difference required downwards

• max_allowed_upward_height_diff Specifies the maximum height difference allowed upwards

• max_allowed_downward_height_diff Specifies the maximum height difference allowed downwards

• search_radius specifies the length in each cardinal direction the filter will check for blocks against the given differences

• places_feature specifies what feature should be placed when filter succeeds

Added an only_check_intersection_for_motion_blocking_blocks field to the block_intersection constraint of minecraft:structure_template_feature

• When true , only motion-blocking blocks within the structure are checked for intersections against the block_allowlist

• When false , all blocks in the structure except empty ones are checked for intersections, including air

• Defaults to true , preserving existing behavior

• Motion-blocking blocks are full blocks that block motion

Added a ground_level field to minecraft:structure_template_feature

• Specifies which Y coordinate of the structure is considered its ground level

• Used as a vertical offset during placement and determines which layer of the structure is checked by the leveled and grounded constraints

• All non-air blocks at this level define positions where the leveled and grounded constraints are checked

• If the value exceeds the structure's height, it is clamped to the maximum valid value and a content warning is emitted

• Defaults to 0

Added a new leveled option to the constraints field of minecraft:structure_template_feature

• When specified, ensures the structure's ground level is placed on mostly flat terrain

• Includes a max_steepness field that defines the maximum allowed height difference between the placement position and terrain samples taken at the structure's ground level

• A valid terrain sample consists of a solid block with a non-solid block above it

• Defaults to 2

The only_check_intersection_for_motion_blocking_blocks field in the block_intersection constraint of minecraft:structure_template_feature is now optional

Gameplay

• Fixed a bug where the loot table match_tool condition could match when blocks were broken or mobs were killed with an empty hand ( MCPE-188723 )

• Known issue around RTX textures displaying incorrectly; this will be resolved in an upcoming Preview.

Restructured internal graphics settings to be more compact and separated by platform

Items

A new field "start_using" was added to the "minecraft:use_modifiers" item component. It can either be set to "always" or "if_first". It is defaulted to "always" with format version lower than 1.26.30 and "if_first" otherwise. When set to "if_first", "minecraft:use_modifiers" will only attempt to start using the item if no other component has already attempted to.

Items with both a "minecraft:use_modifiers" and a "minecraft:shooter" component with a charge duration will now properly charge and shoot with "start_using" set to "if_first". ( MCPE-228331 ) ( MCPE-228332 ) ( MCPE-228333 )

The "minecraft:wearable" component no longer overrides the "minecraft:max_stack_size" component when both are present on a custom item ( MCPE-176931 )

Items with both a "minecraft:use_modifiers" and a "minecraft:shooter" component with no available ammo will no longer draw with "start_using" set to "if_first" on the "minecraft:use_modifiers" component ( MCPE-228331 )

• Added the query.fuse_time query that returns the remaining fuse time of an entity, or -1 if the entity doesn't have a "minecraft:explode" component

Network Protocol

• Modified the binary format of BossEventPacket

Renderer

Fixed a bug where held_item_scale was not correctly applied to data driven blocks

Surface Builders

The NoiseDescriptor schema definition has been introduced. The purpose of this schema is to be used as part of a surface- or subsurface-builder's schema. It has the following fields:

• name : The string used to initialize the noise. Has no impact on the qualitative aspects of the generated values (required)

• first_octave : Governs the general frequency characteristics of the generated noise. Lower value results in noise with lower frequency content (required)

• amplitudes : Governs the attenuation of the first n octaves in the generated noise (required)

The NoiseBlockSpecifier schema definition has been introduced. The purpose of this schema is to be used as part of a surface- or subsurface-builder's schema. It has the following fields:

• noise : The noise identifier associated with a particular NoiseBlockSpecifier (non-required)

• threshold : The minimum sampled noise value associated with the provided Block (non-required)

• range : The range of sampled noise value associated with the provided Block (non-required)

• block : The block to place if the noise sample satisfies either the threshold or range condition (required)

The minecraft:noise_gradient surface- and subsurface builder has an updated API consisting of the following:

• noise : a NoiseDescriptor (required)

• non_replaceable_blocks : A list of blocks that the surface builder is not allowed to replace. Leaving this list empty or unspecified will allow the replacement of any (non-air) block type (non-required)

• noise_block_specifiers : An array of NoiseBlockSpecifier s defining which sample ranges of noise are associated with which blocks. The ranges provided are valid on the interval [0, 1], and may overlap at their endpoints (required)

User Interface

• While leaner than their Vanilla counterparts, they still are heavier on the RAM than non-block-entities; use them sparingly

Added the minecraft:instrument_sound block component behind the Upcoming Creator Features experiment

it can be used to assign an instrument to "up" and "down" faces of a block and it's permutations

• all current instruments can be used to define a sound

• newly added "note.none" can be used to specify no sound for a face

• if a face is not defined it will use its default value; "up": "note.harp" and "down": "note.none"

• at least one face must be defined for the component to be valid Example: { "format_version": "1.26.20", "minecraft:block": { "description": { "identifier": "test:test_block" }, "components": { "minecraft:instrument_sound": { "up": "note.bit", "down": "note.bell" } } } }

We've got an exciting release for you today – because alongside chaos and cubes in testing, we have Closed Captions coming in this release! Closed Captions have been a hotly requested feature – and now you can try it out for yourself alongside customisable positioning of the captions, duration, and sounds. Alongside this we've made some sound fixes and tweaks to the baby mobs after our Tiny Takeover drop, some texture and geometry fixes, and more. And don't forget there's plenty to test from our upcoming Chaos Cubed drop – including its hero mob, the sulfur cube, the home of said curious cube, the sulfur caves, plus sulfur springs and potent sulfur! With so much to talk about, we'd better dive in!

Chaos Cubed - Experimental Features

• Please note: These features are still in development and may change. The physics for the Sulfur Cube is still a work in progress, and the directional knockback behavior is not fully implemented yet. Please keep sending us your feedback and bug reports!

Sulfur Cubes

• Sulfur Cubes are a new mob coming to Minecraft with a curious appetite for... blocks! Found in Sulfur caves, this curious mob transforms depending on which block the player feeds it. Experiment and discover how to send Sulfur Cubes bouncing, sliding, and more!

• When the Sulfur Cube is hit by a Player its knockback is now affected by the attacker's hit angle, position and damage

• When it is hit on the left it moves to the right and vice versa

• When it is hit on the top it moves along the ground

• When it is hit on the bottom it moves higher upwards

• When it is hit with a greater damage it is knocked back more

• When the attacker is positioned higher it moves downwards

• When the attacker is positioned lower it moves upwards

Sulfur Springs

• Found across the Overworld, you'll know if you've spotted a Sulfur pool thanks to its Sulfur and Cinnabar blocks – and the noxious gas coming from it! But dig beneath these and you'll discover a Sulfur cave, filled with new blocks to mine and a new mob to meet!

Potent Sulfur

• Potent Sulfur is a new block you can use to create bubbling hot pools! Place potent Sulfur beneath water and you'll soon spy bubble columns, as well as puffs of noxious gas. Build with caution – noxious gas will trigger nausea in players and nearby mobs!

Sulfur Caves

• Discover this new cave type, with shallow pools of water and glow lichen. Sulfur caves are filled with yellow blocks of Sulfur, red blocks of Cinnabar, and a curious mob called the Sulfur Cube!

New Block Sets

• You'll find two new block sets in Sulfur caves – Cinnabar and Sulfur! These new blocks allow you to add rich reds and yellows into your builds, and each comes with its own full block set. Cobble them, craft with them, turn them into stairs or bricks – the choice is yours!

Audio

• Fixed an issue where content packs that override entity sound events without defining variants could incorrectly clear the variant key from the base sounds.json, causing content warnings during loading.

Biomes

• Added minecraft:subsurface_builder field to Biome Json API

• Sub Surface Builders allow specifying a minecraft:surface_builder to be applied to biomes located underneath the Overworld's terrain surface. Note, however, that pre-existing surface builder types' processing have not been updated to accommodate the ability to specify them for sub-terrain height ranges, which may lead to unexpected results when using them.

• Added minecraft:noise_gradient sub surface builder type, which places continuous bands of blocks according to a noise distribution. This surface builder's processing has been implemented with sub-terrain height ranges in mind.

• This surface builder has the following parameters:

• non_replaceable_blocks : a list of blocks that the surface builder is not allowed to replace. Leaving this list empty or unspecified will allow the replacement of any (non-air or non-liquid) block type.

• gradient_blocks : a list of block names that will be sampled according to a Perlin noise distribution. Specifying minecraft:air -blocks is permitted, and will result in the original block not being replaced, meaning it is possible to adjust the density/intensity of block replacement in the biome using this surface builder type.

Blocks

• Fixed issue causing items with item lock component to be put in decorated pots ( MCPE-184636 )

• For format_version >= 1.26.20 the component minecraft:redstone_producer cannot be defined in the permutations array without defining it in the base components object as well ( MCPE-234647 )

• Removed the warning message if the optional property strongly_powered_face of component minecraft:redstone_producer is not defined ( MCPE-234635 )

• Custom block with an icon item will now correctly display the icon in setblock command. ( MCPE-235787 )

• Fixed "minecraft:placement_filter" for blocks with trait minecraft:multi_block

• If no value is given for the "texture" field in "minecraft:destruction_particles", the "down" or "*" texture will be used from "minecraft:material_instances" instead of the dirt texture. ( MCPE-234708 )

• Fixed custom blocks with the 'minecraft:tick' component ticking more than expected when placed via a structure ( MCPE-236362 )

• Fixed minecraft:block_placer component's replace_block_item property. The block will now properly use the overridden block item. ( MCPE-236314 )

• Fixed y-offset for 'flower_pottable' blocks in flower pots to match vanilla for versions 1.26.20+ ( MCPE-234585 )

• We are fully enabling the block schema parsing update that was tested during 1.26.10 previews. These changes will be shipping as part of 1.26.20 and start with this first preview.

• The custom block json api has the following changes that will affect loading of block json with format version 1.26.20 and up.

• General

• Namespace constraints have been tweaked but everything permitted before should still be valid.

• This can affect the identifiers used for the block, states and menu category groups.

• Block Traits

• " placement_direction " trait, validation change: The rotation offset does not accept a 0.5 tolerance anymore.

• Input value must be a multiple of 90.0

• The value must be in the range 0.0 to 360.0 inclusive.

• " blocks_to_corner_with " now requires " minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction " to be one of the " enabled_states " for the " placement_direction " trait.

• Category

• " menu_category ", validation change: An empty " group " value is not allowed.

• The " group " field can either exist with a non-empty value or not exist at all.

• " category " is now a required field, when using " menu_category ". This is strictly enforced now.

• Components

• " minecraft:flower_pottable ", validation change: It is restricted outside of root components object.

• " minecraft:geometry ", validation change: The constraint on " culling_shape " identifier is strictly enforced now.

• When using the minecraft namespace, the only currently available culling shape identifiers are : " minecraft:empty " or " minecraft:unit_cube ".

• When using no namespaces or a custom one, the names must start and end with an alpha-numeric character.

• " minecraft:light_dampening " and " minecraft:light_emission ", validation change: They now strictly enforce the value to be between 0 and 15 inclusive.

• There is a breaking change to how tags are defined.

• As of version 1.26.20 , tags cannot freely live as top level entities in the components array.

• They must live inside the " minecraft:tags " component, which accepts an array of tags of the format :

• " minecraft:tags ": ["minecraft:crop", "custom:custom_tag"] .

• The values must have the format " &#60namespace>:&#60tag_name> ".

• They no longer need to be prefixed with tag:

• The pick-block action will now give the desired item in a flowerpot when the "minecraft:block_placer" component is defined with "replace_block_item" set to true ( MCPE-234586 )

• Fix validation of large geometries that are scaled down with a transformation component ( MCPE-236317 )

• Custom blocks will no longer have darker shade when occluded by a small set of vanilla blocks like the minecraft:kelp. ( MCPE-236304 )

• Blocks that use the "flower_pottable" component without the "geometry" and "minecraft:material_instances" components will now generate a content error ( MCPE-234599 )

• Blocks with a missing menu_category will correctly be accepted again instead of giving the error: "Menu Category should not have an empty value"

• Fixed custom components not parsing with modern block definition loader ( MCPE-13541 )

• minecraft:material_instances , validation change: ambient_occlusion does not accept booleans as valid input. It must be a float between 0.0 - 10.0 inclusive. It defaults to 1.0 if not provided.

• Fixed content warning regarding texture variations for block components minecraft:item_visual and minecraft:embedded_visual

• Added content warning for component minecraft:item_visual trying to use texture variations. Variation textures are not supported for this component

• The "minecraft:selection_box" component will correctly give an error again when the y is over the 16 limit

• Fixed legacy tag: entries in block permutations being silently dropped when upgrading to format version 1.26.20, which could cause scripts relying on permutation-specific tags to fail

• Items with "replace_block_item" set to true will no longer take the planted block in a flowerpot ( MCPE-237222 )

Block Components

• Released the component minecraft:chest_obstruction from experimental for block format versions 1.26.20 or higher.

Commands

• Fixed issue where player could still auto-jump after using the /inputPermissions command to disable jumping ( MCPE-235573 )

Fixed Jigsaw Collection names allowing case-variant duplicates which caused file conflicts and potential data loss on case-insensitive file systems

Entity Components

• The behavior of the minecraft:friction_modifier component now matches its description

• The higher its value, the more friction affects an entity:

• 0.0 means no friction

• 1.0 means regular friction

• 2.0 means double friction

• The component now affects ground friction only, and no longer partially affects air or liquid drag

• The legacy incorrect behavior can be re-enabled by adding the minecraft:uses_legacy_friction component

• This component is automatically added to all entities with a format version lower than 1.26.20, to ensure their behavior stays unaltered

• The component now properly works on players, and on other client-predicted entities

• Added the minecraft:uses_uniform_air_drag component

• When present, air drag is applied uniformly on both the vertical and horizontal axes, instead of being biased toward horizontal movement

• This would cause entities to keep sliding in the given direction until friction bled the velocity off, even if the entity hit a wall

• Fixed a bug that caused the "minecraft:behavior.delayed_attack" AI behavior to sometimes fail to exit after killing a target

• Added the minecraft:bounciness component, which controls how an entity bounces when colliding with surfaces

• Contains a single field, value , defining the bounce strength:

• 0 results in no bounce

• 1 results in a perfectly elastic collision with full energy preservation

• If the component is not present, bounciness defaults to 0

• Only available if the entity's format_version is set to beta

• Added the "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules" component which controls how an entity applies knockback to a target

• "horizontal_power" defines how much the target is hit backwards

• Defaults to 1.0 if not defined

• "vertical_power" defines how much the target is hit upwards

• Defaults to 0.4 if not defined

• "vertical_velocity_cap" defines the target's maximum vertical upwards velocity after the target's knockback rules have been evaluated

• Defaults to 0.4 if not defined

• "check_if_target_is_immersed_in_water" defines whether the target should be fully immersed in water for the knockback rules to apply

• Defaults to false if not defined

• Not defining this component results in default knockback behavior

• Added the minecraft:air_drag_modifier component

• The higher its value, the more air drag affects an entity:

• 0.0 means no air drag

• 1.0 means regular air drag

• 2.0 means double air drag

• Only available if the entity's format_version is set to beta

• The minecraft:knockback_resistance component now accepts negative values down to a minimum of -2, resulting in knockback being increased instead of being diminished

• Non-Ocelot and non-Cat mobs can now use "minecraft:behavior.ocelotattack" ( MCPE-237713 )

• The component "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules" now takes an array of presets

• "presets" is an array of elements with the same parameters as "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules" had previously

• The preset elements have the following new field:

Entities

• Added a new entity_version description field to entity behavior definitions that enables per-entity versioning and upgrade handling

• The entity_version field is a JSON object containing an upgrades array, where each entry specifies an integer upgrade_to version and a name string referencing an upgrade handler defined in a new top-level upgrades section of the entity definition.

• Upgrade versions must start at 1 and be contiguous (e.g., 1, 2, 3), gaps or duplicates are rejected with a content error.

• Version 0 is reserved for entities that have no version set ("versionless"), which is the default for all existing entities.

• When an entity is loaded with a version older than the current definition version, all upgrade handlers between the entity's saved version and the current version are executed sequentially.

• Newly spawned entities are set directly to the latest version without running any upgrade handlers.

• Upgrade handlers reuse the existing event system but are defined in a separate upgrades section, keeping them distinct from regular events .

• The entity's version is persisted and loaded/saved automatically.

• This feature is gated behind the Upcoming Creator Features experiment toggle.

Entity Components

• The following fields have been added to the preset element exclusively in the beta version of "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules":

• "scale_previous_velocity" scales the previous velocity of the target when hit

• "horizontal_hit_angle_scale" scales the horizontal angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's aim direction

• "vertical_hit_angle_scale" scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's aim direction

• "vertical_position_angle_scale" scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's relative feet position

• "scale_with_damage" enables scaling the magnitude of knocback based on the inverse square of the damage

• There is currently a known issue where knockback is applied twice

• the first is the custom knockback defined by "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules"

• the second is the default knockback with the custom "horizontal_power", "vertical_power" and "vertical_velocity_cap" defined by "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules"

Graphical

Removed point lights visually fading out once past a certain distance from the camera

Fixed an issue where the RenderDragon Features for Creators Experimental resource pack would override other resource packs on the stack

• HttpRequestBodyTooLargeError - Request body exceeds configured limit

• HttpRequestLimitExceededError - Concurrent request limit reached

• HttpRequestNotAllowedError - Request targets a URI not in the allow list

• HttpsOnlyError - HTTPS required but non-HTTPS URI provided

Blocks

Blocks using the minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction value of minecraft:placement_direction now will correctly form inner corners when there are other stairs next to them ( MCPE-232019 )

Fixed rotation issue for blocks in item frames that use "minecraft:geometry.full_block" for Json "format_version" >= 1.26.0 ( MCPE-234715 )

• Used to define a block composed of multiple block parts. A multi block treats all individual parts as a single block, like Door blocks

• The selection box can be extended for the size of the multi block, by setting "minecraft:selection_box" to true and the trait will update it based on the parts total and geoemtry size

• The trait combines the AABBs from the "minecraft:selection_box" for each part.

• So if this is in the components section: "minecraft:selection_box": {"origin": [-8, 0, 5], "size": [16, 16, 3] }

• Then each part will have an AABB of 16x16x3 and when the player looks at the multi block the outline AABB will be a combined 16x16x9 (in world space)

• Enables new state minecraft:multi_block_part

• Required direction property used to define which direction the block parts are placed from 0 to N. Valid values are limited to "up" and "down"

• Optional part_count property used to initialize state minecraft:multi_block_part , valid value range is [2, 4]

• Command inspection &#38 api support will be coming in an upcoming preview Example: { "format_version": "1.26.0", "minecraft:block": { "description": { "identifier": "example:triple_block", "traits": { "minecraft:multi_block": { "enabled_states": [ "minecraft:multi_block_part" ], "parts": 3, "direction": "up" } } }, "components": { "minecraft:selection_box": true }, "permutations": [ { "condition": "q.block_state('minecraft:multi_block_part') == 0", "components": { "minecraft:geometry": "geometry.triple_block_part_0", "minecraft:material_instances": { "": { "texture": "wood_triple_block_part_0", "render_method": "opaque" } } } }, { "condition": "q.block_state('minecraft:multi_block_part') == 1", "components": { "minecraft:geometry": "geometry.triple_block_part_1", "minecraft:material_instances": { "": { "texture": "wood_triple_block_part_1", "render_method": "opaque" } } } }, { "condition": "q.block_state('minecraft:multi_block_part') == 2", "components": { "minecraft:geometry": "geometry.triple_block_part_2", "minecraft:material_instances": { "*": { "texture": "wood_triple_block_part_2", "render_method": "alpha_test_single_sided" } } } } ] } }

Components

Replaced the "simulate_waves" field of the "minecraft:buoyant" component with the new "movement_type" field

• The "movement_type" field accepts one of three values:

• "waves", makes the entity move up and down based on its speed (default value)

• "bobbing", makes the entity move up and down at a constant pace

• "none", doesn't do anything

• The "big_wave_probability" and "big_wave_speed" fields are only used when "movement_type" is set to "waves"

Added a "can_auto_step_from_liquid" field to the "minecraft:buoyant" component

• Defines whether the entity can move out of a liquid block to a neighboring solid block if pushed against it

Blocks with minecraft:liquid_detection component containing an empty array will now fail to load and produce a content error. ( MCPE-235481 )

Dedicated Server

• Added HTTP configuration capabilities for the @minecraft/server-net scripting module on dedicated servers. Server operators can now configure HTTP request limits and restrictions via the permissions.json file. All of the configurable options are optional. If not specified, limits for the particular setting will not be enforced. Example config: .\config&#60module_id>\permissions.json { "allowed_modules": [ ... "@minecraft/server-net" ], "module_permissions": { "@minecraft/server-net": { "allowed_uris": [ "https://example.com/", ], "force_https": true, "max_body_bytes": 1048576, "max_concurrent_requests": 1, "session_headers": { "session-data": "abc123" } } } }

Graphical

The colored block lighting feature is no longer restricted to the Render Dragon Features for Creator Experiment

• To enable this feature, PBR resource packs must include a local_lighting.json with static_light entries. Blocks that do not have a static_light and light_color specified via a provided resource pack will be treated as non-colored lighting and use the standard uniform light color.

• See Local Lights documentation for more information

Static colored lighting on flowing lava and other blocks no longer appears too dark in Vibrant Visuals.

Adding static_light shading to data driven entities in Vibrant Visuals.

Added static_light shading to more entities and items in Vibrant Visuals.

• It is defaulted to false

• It is supported from format version 1.26.0 onward

JSON Schema

• Updating the canopy_decorator schema to support placing several blocks in a row as a decorator. New schema includes decoration_blocks_sequence as a list of blocks and a count per block to be placed. This aims to replace decoration_block and num_steps , however the old format is still supported but if both are give the new one is prioritised. Example of new format: "canopy_decoration" : { "decoration_blocks_sequence" : [ { "block": "minecraft:bedrock", "count": 1 }, { "block": "minecraft:dirt", "count": [1, 2] }, { "block": "minecraft:stone", "count": { "range_min": 1, "range_max": 2 } } ], "decoration_chance": { "numerator": 1, "denominator": 4 }, "step_direction": "out" }

Experimental Technical Updates

Add-Ons and Script Engine

Added experimental toggle "Voxel Shapes" which enables the use of voxel shapes on Vanilla and custom blocks

API

Added minimum, maximum, or both bounds to several APIs.

Fixed EntityHurtBeforeEvent.cancel to not allow some sources of knockback (sprint bonus, enchantment, mace smash, projectiles) when set to true

Moved localizationKey property on ItemType , EntityType , BlockType , and BlockPermutation from beta to stable.

This release introduces new UI capabilities called Data-Driven UI (DDUI). These APIs introduce a new way to create modal forms with new capabilities and an all new look. New modal forms is the first step in our UI journey for creators. Stay tuned for more features in future updates!

• More information can be found here: Introduction to the Data-Driven UI (DDUI) Framework

• Known Issues:

• You need to wait a tick between programmatically closing a CustomForm/MessageBox and opening another.

• Showing a CustomForm/MessageBox while UI is already up "queues" the UI to show up instead of failing like the previous form APIs.

• CustomForms will only update after being shown via Observables, you cannot add a new button/dropdown/slider/etc while the form is shown.

Reload command. Now it closes all the Data Driven UI screens as part of the execution.

ScriptSetBannerDetailsFunction now includes base color and pattern data.

Fixed an issue with DebugBox where the position was being used as the bottom-left corner, instead of the centre. .

Fixed an issue with DebugShape.attachedTo where the attachment position was unintentionally using the height offset of the entity.

• Localizable messages can be provided by using the interface UIRawMessage .

TickingAreaManager

• Changed createTickingArea() to return Promise&#60void> instead of Promise&#60TickingArea> in beta

Added locatorBar property to beta - Manages the collection of waypoints displayed on this player's locator bar

Blocks

Added culling_shape field to minecraft:geometry component behind the VoxelShapes toggle.

• The value should be an identifier of a voxel shape and can refer to either a custom voxel shape file, minecraft:unit_cube , or minecraft:empty .

• If the VoxelShapes experiment is enabled and a shape is not specified, minecraft:empty will be used by default if the block does not use minecraft:geometry.full_block .

Blocks can handle the following entity events in scripting through the "onEntity" handler:

• Custom named events:

• "on_home" from "minecraft:behavior.go_home"

• “on_escape” from "minecraft:behavior.avoid_block"

• "on_reach" from "minecraft:behavior.move_to_block"

• "on_place" from "minecraft:behavior.place_block"

• "on_take" from "minecraft:behavior.take_block"

• Unlike the current vanilla blocks that handle those events, custom blocks may receive those events up to one tick after they were emitted, depending on how late in the tick the event was emitted.

Added Block trait minecraft:multi_block behind 'Upcoming Creator Features' experiment

Added some Json constraints for blocks with trait minecraft:multi_block

Component "minecraft:movable" must be defined and cannot be defined in permutations. Valid values for "movement_type" are "popped" or "immovable"

Added minecraft:chest_obstruction component under the Upcoming Creator Features toggle

It defines how a block placed above a chest or ender_chest should obstruct their opening

• "obstruction_rule" (Optional): Specifies how the block is evaluated during chest opening if placed above; "shape" is the default when not specified.

• "always": Will always obstruct a chest from opening.

• "never" : Will never obstruct a chest from opening.

• "shape" : Will use the Blocks AABB shape to determine if the chest is obstructed from opening.

• Blocks prior to 26.10 will behave as expected based on their defined geometry and material instances

• Example: "format_version": "26.10", "minecraft:block": { "description": { "identifier": "test:test_block" }, "components": { "minecraft:chest_obstruction": { "obstruction_rule": "always" } } }

• At least one box must overlap the base block (0-16 pixels on all axes).

• Total shape extent cannot exceed 30 pixels (1 block + 14 pixels) on any axis.

Fixed rare crash on PS5 native due to inconsistency of packet ordering

Fixed content warnings for unit cube and empty shapes that appear when joining a voxel shape enabled world as a client

• static create(player: Player, title: Observable&#60string> | string | UIRawMessage): MessageBox .

I'm not sure what to start with today – the baby mob redesigns and craftable name tags coming into testing? Or the fact that this release is the first that follows our new numbering system ? Actually, why choose! In this release we're entering 26.0, and thanks to the weeks we've spent teaching the nautilus some new moves, you'll find some new swimming animations for this underwater mount. We've also fixed a bug with Nether Portals so you can light them with lava again. In testing, you'll be able to try out crafting name tags, and meet new redesigns for baby mobs! And that's not all, either. Let's dive in!

• Introducing Realms Saves, a new and improved version of our previous backup system. Keep your Realms worlds safe with a new bank of cloud storage included with your Realms subscription. Realms saves come in two flavors:

• Automatic saves are functionally the same as our previous "backups" system:

• They are on by default - no need to enable anything to keep your Realm world safe with automatic saves.

• They are taken at the end of every Realms play session when the server shuts down, or every 30 minutes during a play session.

• They are only retained for a limited time, according to our retention policy (which has not changed with this update): How Mojang Saves Backups for Your Minecraft Realm | Minecraft Help

• They do not count towards your bank of cloud storage.

• All previous Realms backups will be converted to automatic saves.

• Manual saves are created by the Realm owner and count towards a bank of storage that comes with your Realms subscription.

• Manual saves are retained as long as your Realm is. They are not automatically deleted by our retention policy*, but Realm owners can delete manual saves if they want to free up storage space.

• Realms plus subscriptions come with 10gb of manual save storage and Realms core subscriptions come with 5gb.

• Automatic saves can be turned into manual saves by the Realm owner.

• Realms saves can be found in the Realms settings menu accessed via the "Edit Realm" button rather than the Realms world settings menu that backups used to show up in. While playing on the Realm, saves can also be found in the in-game settings menu for the Realm owner.

• Realms saves will also now list the world name and the packs that were applied at the time of the save.

• Added interface TickingArea to beta . This provides information about a specific ticking area

• Added interface TickingAreaOptions to beta . Options to create a ticking area using the TickingAreaManager

• Added class TickingAreaError to beta

• Subscription is not queued if the BlockComponentRedstoneUpdateEvent.powerLevel is less than minecraft:redstone_consumer field min_power Here is an example of a custom component json and the subscription script: { "format_version": "1.21.130", "minecraft:block": { "description": { "identifier": "test:custom_block" }, "components": { "minecraft:redstone_consumer": { "min_power": 10, "propogates_power": true }, "test:custom_component": {} } } } import { system } from '@minecraft/server-wrapper'; system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(init => { init.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("test:custom_component", { onRedstoneUpdate: _ => { //insert logic here } }); });

API Infra

• Modernized CommandOutputPacket serialization

• Max number of "Output Messages" set max to 100

• Field "Message Id", set max size to 512 characters

• Max number of "Parameters" set to 512

• Modernized CommandRequestPacket serialization

• Field "Request ID", set max size to 39 characters

• Modernized AvailableCommandsPacket serialization. Added these constraints:

• Chained Subcommand Data / Name max size set to 512 characters

• Commands / Name max size set to 512 characters

• Commands / Description max size set to 1000 characters

• Commands / Chained Subcommand Indexes max size set to 250 elements

• Commands / Overloads max size set to 250 elements

• Constraints / Constraint Indices max size set to 250 elements

Blocks

• Added component minecraft:support behind the Upcoming Creator Features toggle Example: "minecraft:support": { "shape": "stair" // "fence" is also valid }

• Created a new block trait, minecraft:connection , to expose behavior like Fences or Glass Panes from Vanilla where blocks connect to other blocks around them. Using this trait with the example below adds the bool states minecraft:connection_north , minecraft:connection_east , minecraft:connection_south , and minecraft:connection_west . This is only available while the "Upcoming Creator Features" toggle is enabled Example: { "format_version": "1.21.130", "minecraft:block": { "description": { "identifier": "test:connection_block", "traits": { "minecraft:connection": { "enabled_states": ["minecraft:cardinal_connections"] } } } } }

One known issue with this is that blocks using minecraft:connection don't properly decide connections to blocks like Fences, Walls, Iron Bars, Fence Gates, and Glass Panes. Addressing this issue is currently in development

Added component minecraft:connection_rule behind the Upcoming Creator Features toggle which allows custom blocks to define whether other blocks with connection behavior - such as fences, walls, bars, and glass panes - can try to create a connection.

Added VanillaBlockTag minecraft:has_fence_connections that can be used to identify a custom block as a block that creates connections like a fence; this tag is required to create connections between custom and Vanilla fences. The component and tag can be used along with the minecraft:connection block trait to make a custom fence that creates connections like a Vanilla fence. The following is an example of how they fit into the JSON of a custom fence block: { "format_version": "1.21.130", "minecraft:block": { "description": { "identifier": "test:my_fence", "traits": { "minecraft:connection": { "enabled_states": ["minecraft:cardinal_connections"] } } }, "components": { "tag:minecraft:has_fence_connections": {}, "minecraft:connection_rule": { "accepts_connections_from": "only_fences" } } } }

• Added new state minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction to the minecraft:placement_direction block trait which enables the minecraft:corner with values none , inner_left , inner_right , outer_left , and outer_right to provide similar behavior to how stairs in Vanilla work

• When this is set, you can use the field blocks_to_corner_with to decide the criteria with an array of block descriptors to determine what blocks to form a corner with

• The default behavior for this field is to corner with the same block name

• This all requires the Beta APIs toggle to be enabled on a world and the use_beta_features flag on your block "format_version": "1.21.130", "use_beta_features": true, "minecraft:block": { "description": { "identifier": "custom:custom_block", "traits": { "minecraft:placement_position": { "enabled_states": ["minecraft:vertical_half"] "minecraft:placement_direction": { "enabled_states": ["minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction"], "blocks_to_corner_with": [{"tags": "q.any_tag('minecraft:cornerable_stairs')"}] } }

• With the Beta APIs toggle on, Vanilla Stairs have the tag minecraft:cornerable_stairs available, and can corner with custom blocks with the same tag if the block also uses minecraft:cardinal_direction block states

• Blocks using minecraft:placement_direction Block Trait with the minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction had the inner_left/outer_left and inner_right/outer_right states backwards when a block was facing south or west

• Made blocks that use the minecraft:placement_position block trait with the state minecraft:vertical_half and minecraft:placement_direction with the state minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction update the corner state immediately instead of happening a tick later

• We now will mirror the minecraft:corner block state when used within a structure

• Added minecraft:redstone_consumer component behind the Upcoming Creator Features experiment. A component describing how a block can consume and potentially propogate a redstone signal

• Contains optional field min_power which defines the minimum value for incoming signal stregth. If signal strength is greater than or equal to this value then the onRedstoneUpdate event is sent to Scripts. Defaults to 0 meaning event is always emitted

• Contains optional field propogates_power a Boolean to control whether a signal can pass through this block or not, defaults to false

• This component is currently not available for block permutations

• Example: { "format_version": "1.21.130", "minecraft:block": { "description": { "identifier": "test:custom_consumer_block" }, "components": { "minecraft:redstone_consumer": { "min_power": 5, "propogates_power": true } } } }

• Modified minecraft:material_instances block component

• Removed redundant experimental field shaded formerly named emissive

• Same effect can be achieved with existing fields, example below "minecraft:material_instances" : { "*": { "texture": "my_texture", "render_method": "opaque", "face_dimming": false, "ambient_occlusion", false } }

• Added minecraft:leashable block component, which allows custom blocks to receive a lead attachment, including an offset field to change the position of the leash knot. Currently only available with "Upcoming Creator Features" enabled

Editor

• Initial experimental support for "Prefabs" in the Editor

• This feature is highly experimental, has some issues, is guaranteed to change and is not yet documented

• Do not use in production projects

• Added a "Prefab Template Manager" to help create, edit and delete prefab templates

• Added a "Prefab Instance Editor" to allow placement of prefabs in the scene, and edit the properties of the instance

Graphical

• Fixed an error where Marketplace content containing local_lighting.json could spam content errors ( MCPE-1498487 )

While you've been having mayhem with mounts, we've been squashing bugs and implementing important fixes! Alongside adding animated lantern textures, the copper golem statues will now glow when placed in a glow item frame, and interacting with the copper golem will make it drop whatever its carrying. We've also done some work on older worlds for PlayStation 5 – which will now load in with the correct terrain and structures, as well as some work to make world generation more flexible for creators. Want to know what else we've been up to? Let's dive into this week's changelog!
