For new worlds (base game version 1.26.40 and later), stair corner-state changes now trigger neighbor block updates for parity with Java Edition; existing worlds keep the prior client-only update behavior

Crafting

• "minecraft:recipe_smithing_transform" now accepts items tagged with "minecraft:transform_materials" in its "addition" field

Fixed a bug that caused gameplay hotbar to display in Editor tool mode

Added a "Scale By" axis selector and a "Change Mesh" button to the Custom Mesh Tool, letting you size the mesh along its longest, width, height, or depth axis and swap in a different mesh file without leaving the tool.

The Custom Mesh Tool now keeps the imported mesh loaded after placing or cancelling a placement, so you can place the same mesh multiple times without re-importing. The mesh and preview stay ready until you press Cancel while idle or change the mesh.

Updated introduction floating window to be resizable

Fixed a bug where deleting a world template locally and entering Edit World for that world caused potential data loss

Fixed a bug that caused incorrect theme color to display for disabled text field

Added a Timeline panel to the Cinematic Tool for visualizing and editing keyframes along the camera path

Renamed "Control Points" to "Keyframes" throughout the Cinematic Tool to align with standard animation terminology

Lowered the Nether's minimap scan Y-level so the map skips the bedrock ceiling

Removed the "X" button from progress windows for the Custom Mesh, Primitive, and Flood tools

Fixed a bug that appears in Layout Template Manager during 'Copy Template' operation when copying a template with structures. The template is copied along with name and display name. The fix is that the name and display name metadata are set from the caller.

Fixed a bug where the custom cursor does not change from wait/load icon after canceling the flood operation

Fixed a bug that caused Collection Tree UI element width to be incorrect

Fixed incorrect example json for Height Difference Filter documentation

Entity Components

Added a new require_collision_overlap boolean field to minecraft:pushable_by_entity 's presets :

• Determines whether the collision boxes of two entities must overlap for pushing to occur

• For format versions 1.26.40 and higher, this field defaults to true

• For format versions below 1.26.40 , this field defaults to false

Made the following changes to the minecraft:apply_knockback_rules component:

• Renamed scale_previous_velocity to slowdown_scale

• horizontal_power is no longer scaled by 0.4 internally

• Similar values for horizontal_power and vertical_power now produce similar knockback on both axes

• Deprecated the following fields:

• horizontal_hit_angle_scale

• vertical_hit_angle_scale

• vertical_position_angle_scale

• Added a new field, knockback_mode , which provides more intuitive control over how knockback is applied:

• relative_horizontal (default): Applies knockback along the horizontal direction from attacker to target

• hit_direction : Applies knockback based on the hit direction and point of impact (for example, hits from below push upward, and hits on the left side push to the right)

• The component is no longer in Beta

Made the following changes to the impact_damage on_hit subcomponent of minecraft:projectile :

• Added a ceil_pre_critical_damage boolean field that rounds the projectile's damage up to the next integer before the critical hit multiplier is applied

• power_multiplier is now applied regardless of the difficulty_randomization mode, so it can be used on its own to scale damage by the projectile's velocity

• The resulting value is added to damage to define the projectile's base damage

• Its default value changed from 2 to 0 so that prior content remains unchanged when neither field is specified

• Replaced the semi_random_diff_damage boolean field with difficulty_randomization , which controls how the world difficulty contributes to the final damage:

• none : difficulty is ignored (default)

• additive : a difficulty-driven term is added to the base damage (matches the previous behavior when semi_random_diff_damage was true )

• multiplicative : a difficulty-driven term is added to power_multiplier before it scales by the projectile's velocity

• Content authored against earlier format versions is automatically upgraded when loaded in 1.26.40 or later to preserve existing behavior2

Added the minecraft:not_pickable_from_inside entity component

• When set, the entity cannot be targeted by a cursor hit-test while the picker's point of view lies inside the entity's collision box

Made the should_bounce boolean field of the minecraft:projectile component into an enum:

• no : the projectile never bounces (default)

• if_invulnerable : the projectile bounces only when the target is invulnerable to the damage source (e.g. creative mode, shield blocking)

• if_no_damage_dealt : the projectile bounces whenever no damage was dealt, regardless of the reason (invulnerability, damage sensor, invulnerability frames)

• Content authored against earlier format versions is automatically upgraded when loaded in 1.26.40 or later: true becomes if_invulnerable and false becomes no

Features

• Added content error when loading features with identifiers that already exist within the same behavior pack

General

Fixed invulnerability bypass when changing damage of entity hurt before event during lethal damage

Fixed invulnerability timer floating-point cycling issue for very small damage diffs

Graphical

Optimized FrameGraph topological sorting algorithm by replacing DFS-based approach with Kahn's algorithm for improved performance and clarity

Tightened the anti-x-ray trigger box to avoid false-positive cases when riding a mob

Fixed custom blocks rendering a stray solid face that could bleed through textures when a model face was hidden by setting one of its UV size dimensions to zero

Fixed texture bleeding on custom blocks using automatic block face UV assignment with undersized textures

The MERS textures for following baby mobs and Rabbits are now visible

• Baby Humanoid Chainmail Armor

• Baby Dolphin

• Baby Fox

• Baby Goat

• Baby Hoglin

• Baby Panda

• Baby Warm Pig

• Baby Zombie Piglin

• Rabbits

• Snifflet

The tamed baby Wolf's collar now has a proper MERS texture

Items

Fixed minecraft:shooter component not being able to shoot if no ammunition was defined

Items declared with a format_version of 1.26.30 or higher now require at least one entry under minecraft:item.components . Previously such items would silently fall back to legacy item parsing; they now fail to register with a content error.

Custom item definitions in resource packs now reliably override their Vanilla counterparts in two previously-broken cases:

A custom definition using an older format_version will now be applied on top of a Vanilla item that ships with format_version 1.16+ (previously the custom data was silently dropped). In Vanilla this only affects minecraft:apple and minecraft:breeze_rod .

A custom definition targeting a Vanilla item by its flattened identifier (e.g. minecraft:enchanted_golden_apple ) now correctly applies even when Vanilla defines the item under its legacy identifier (e.g. minecraft:appleEnchanted ). ( MCPE-185730 )

Item Components

• Updated item schema validation so minecraft:item.components now requires at least one component entry for item documents in v1_26_30 and beta

JSON Schema

Updated the generated Minecraft JSON Schema files to use a more granular schema layout instead of producing one self-contained schema file per registered type. This reduces duplicated schema content and makes the generated schemas easier to consume with external tools.

Added binary-protocol metadata to generated SharedTypes JSON Schemas, including ordinal index, control value type, underlying type, and serialization options. This gives tools more information about the binary layout of the objects described by the JSON Schemas.

Networking

• When connecting to a dedicated server, the client probes the server for NetherNet support with a 3 second timeout. WinHTTP does not honor this timeout in the following situation:

• The client connects to the server by URL instead of IP.

• The server hostname's DNS record contains multiple IP addresses.

• The server is behind a firewall that drops the client's probe TCP packets instead of responding with an RST.

• Instead of a 3 second timeout for the entire connection attempt, WinHTTP enforces a (3 seconds) * (number of IP addresses in DNS record) timeout.

• This bug has been fixed by enforcing an overall 3 second timeout.

Particles

• Particles using textures from the font folder no longer produces erroneous content log error ( MCPE-238790 )

Sounds

• Fixed the destroy block sound position to be at the center of the block instead of at the corner ( MCPE-60799 )

User Interface

• Refactor of ProfileSystem subscriptions for a speculative fix for profile fetches resulting in a crash due to stale reference

• Small geometries using the "item_display_transforms" -> "gui" -> "fit_to_frame": false option will now be properly centered in format_version 1.21.130 and above ( MCPE-234752 )

Experimental Technical Updates

Add-Ons

• Improved the experimental JSON document upgrader: configuration parsing errors are now surfaced through the upgrader's error logging, errors that abort an upgrade are recorded in the error log, and files found outside of a pack are ignored instead of failing the run

API

Added a new loot function CarryOverBlockEntityDataFunction with a single boolean field "dynamic_properties" behind beta

Added ItemBlockDynamicPropertiesComponent item component behind beta

• It may be retrieved on an item that resulted from a carry_over_block_entity_data loot function

WorldAfterEvents in beta now exposes a soundCompleted signal with a soundInstanceId property that matches the id of the SoundInstance that completed that fires when a tracked sound's declared duration elapses

Added API for minecraft:instrument_sound component

• it has a getInstrumentName function to get the assigned instrument given a valid facing Direction

• it has a playInstrumentSound function to play the instrument sound assinged to a given valid facing Direction

• the component can be obtained from any custom or vanilla block; if a block does not have the component explicitly defined, then a component with the default sounds will be returned

Added getShapes method on PrimitiveShapesManager .

Added interface PrimitiveShapeQueryOptions for use with getShapes .

Added AllowListEntry to @minecraft/server-admin with optional name and xuid properties in beta

AllowList changes in @minecraft/server-admin all in beta

• Added entries: AllowListEntry[] property

• Changed add() to accept either a Player or AllowListEntry and removed accepting string as parameter. Adds InvalidArgumentError to this function when AllowListEntry has both name and xuid properties set to undefined .

• Changed remove() to accept either a Player or AllowListEntry and removed accepting string as parameter. Adds InvalidArgumentError to this function when AllowListEntry has both name and xuid properties set to undefined .

Dimension

• Added cloneBlocks method to beta that clones a region of blocks from one area of the dimension to another, with support for clone modes and an optional block filter

SoundDurationInfo

The playback position now reflects calls to SoundInstance.seekTo

While a sound is paused via SoundInstance.pause , the playback position no longer advances; SoundInstance.resume continues from where it was paused

Blocks

When applying a "minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation" value via console command, autocomplete suggestions will now correctly show numbers 0-15. Sixteen-way placement direction block trait now applies its rotation with the same orientation as existing Cardinal Direction and Facing Direction traits.

Added some trait restrictions for blocks with the minecraft:multi_block trait

Cannot also define the minecraft:connection trait

Cannot also define the minecraft:placement_position trait

If the minecraft:placement_direction is defined, only the minecraft:cardinal_direction state is allowed to be enabled

The component minecraft:geometry cannot define n_way_visual_rotation for multi-blocks

Cannot also define the minecraft:block_entity component

Each pack now has its own 1KBytes block dynamic properties limit instead of being global

• Storage structure was updated, your saved properties will be lost

Block dynamic properties are now bucketed by manifest-UUID rather than module-UUID

Added support for y_rotation_offset when using the minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation placement direction block trait.

Added horizontal "direction" support for the minecraft:multi_block trait. These new directions "north", "south", "west", "east" still require Upcoming Creator Features experiment to be enabled. When placing horizontal multi-blocks if one or more parts go into an unloaded LevelChunk then the placement of all parts is delayed until both LevelChunks are loaded, delayed placement actions are persistent and saved to Level storage until they are executed. If placing the horizontal multi-block in a structure template, and then rotating the structure, the block parts will only rotate properly if the multi-block is also defined with the minecraft:placement_direction trait enabling the minecraft:cardinal_direction state, otherwise the multi-block parts will not respect the structures rotation

Voxel Shapes

• Added occlusion voxel shapes for one-arm, two-arm, three-arm, four-arm, and full-arm wall connections. These shapes will be applied to all Wall variations when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled. These shapes improve face culling so that hidden faces of custom blocks are correctly removed when attached to different Wall geometries: single posts, wall runs, corners, T-junctions, intersections, and wall clusters

DDUI

• Fixing default behavior for close button bellow DDUI custom forms

• Default visibility value is false

Editor

• Removed and replaced uses of minecraft/server CompoundBlockVolume in the Experimental API with the beta minecraft/server-editor RelativeVolumeListBlockVolume

Items

• Added a new loot function "carry_over_block_entity_data" with a single boolean field "dynamic_properties" defaulted to false

• When looting a block with a block-entity and dynamic-properties, it will try to carry its dynamic-properties over to the created item-stack

• Requires "Upcoming Creator Features Experiment"

Jigsaw Structures

• A Jigsaw Structure's layout will now be persisted to disk if any intersecting chunks are saved. This makes partially saved Jigsaw Structures less prone to breaking because of configuration changes. The feature will be incrementally rolled out to online devices and Realms.

Sounds

Added a new minecraft:server_sound_definitions payload to sounds/sound_definitions.json that lets behavior packs declare server-side sound definitions for sounds played from script

Each definition can include an optional duration_info with a seconds length and a mode that controls how playback time is tracked

A mode of game_time means the duration is tracked by ticks

A mode of real_time means the duration is tracked by wall-clock time

Example: { "format_version": "beta", "minecraft:server_sound_definitions": [ { "sound_event_name": "creatorpack:my_cool_song", "duration_info": { "mode": "game_time", "seconds": 180.0 } }, { "sound_event_name": "creatorpack:my_other_song", "duration_info": { "mode": "real_time", "seconds": 12.5 } }, { "sound_event_name": "creatorpack:ambient_loop" } ] }

Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a behavior pack containing a sounds/sound_definitions.json file with the minecraft:server_sound_definitions payload

Added minecaft:sound block component

• it requires format version 1.26.20 and Experimental Upcoming Creator Features

• it can be used to assign a set of sounds to block and its permutations similar to sound field in blocks.json

• blocks.json overrides values of minecraft:sound component, including values in all permutations { "format_version": "1.26.20", "minecraft:block": { "description": { "identifier": "test:test_block" }, "components": { "minecraft:sound": { "sound": "glass" } } } }

User Interface

• Removed the Point Light Shadow Quality slider and merged its functionality into the Point Light Quality slider. These sliders are available only when the "RenderDragon Features for Creators" experiment toggle is enabled for Vibrant Visuals..

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 )

• 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

Added a modal dialog to Vibrant Visuals that allows users to map per-biome lighting configurations, letting creators assign specific lighting groups, atmospheric scattering, color grading, water, and Cubemap settings to individual biomes

Updated editor tools to show a load/busy mouse cursor during longer-running operations (shape placement, flood apply, chunk operations).

Modifying buttons in a button pane now works correctly again

Disabled the "Export World" button on the Edit Project screen. To export the world, enter the Project, go to File -> Export, and select "Shareable World" from the dropdown

• 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 )

General

• 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 )

Fixed actor textures not loading properly when applying packs with older min engine version

Molang

• 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

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!

• Added maximumRenderDistance property to DebugShape .

• Added maximumRenderDistance property to PrimitiveShape .

• The default render distance used by DebugShape and PrimitiveShape is now your client's render distance, instead of infinity.

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 )

• /loot failing no longer stops the rest of an /execute command from continuing ( MCPE-185887 )

Components

• Fixed issue with mob projectile accuracy going negative on higher difficulty settings

• Fixed bug in "minecraft:interact" where combining "drop_item_slot" and "equip_item_slot" would not equip the given item

• The "minecraft:damage_sensor" component's "deals_damage" field now supports an additional value:

• "no_but_entity_effects_apply":

• Damage is not applied to the entity

• Knockback and enchantments are applied

• The attacker's weapon is used as normal

• The entity does not flash red

• Descriptions for custom blocks with minecraft:display_name now return correct values ( MCPE-236308 )

Fixed an error that occurred when running the /reload command from tool mode chat shortcut

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

• Contains a "slots" field with a list of entries, each with:

• "slot", the equipment slot to monitor

• "on_equip", event to fire when a non-empty item is placed in the slot

• "on_unequip", event to fire when the slot is cleared

• When equipment changes, the first matching slot entry is used

• Does not apply to "minecraft:inventory" slots, use "minecraft:equippable" instead

• Add minecraft:spawn_on_death Component for spawning entities when an entity perishes.

• additional_spawn_range (optional) Additional random range of entities to spawn, defaults to 0, 0 when not set

• Fixed a bug where removing the movement controller from an entity entirely did not reset the input velocity given by the controller

• 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:

• "filter" is an actor filter with the default syntax

• Add filters parameter to minecraft:spawn_on_death .

Entity Filters

• Added "has_same_equipment_in_slot_as" entity filter

Features

• Added a boolean "rotate_around_center" field to the "minecraft:structure_template_feature" feature

• When set to "true", it rotates the structure around its center when placing it in the world

• Defaults to "false" if omitted

• : refactor minecraft:behavior.follow_target_captain to minecraft:behavior.follow_target_leader . The following fields have been added to the behavior:

• always_look_for_leader (default: false) If true, the mob will always search for a valid leader to follow if none is found or current leader is not valid anymore

• leader_filters (required) The filters to use when determining if a mob is a suitable leader or not.

• Added method getFilteredText . Gets filtered data from the Observable (only available for strings). - getFilteredText(this: Observable&#60T &#38 string>, player: Player): Promise&#60string | TextFilteringError>;

• Added enum TextFilteringError . An enum representing the errors that can occur during text filtering. This is used at Observable.getFilteredText to provide more context about the filtering process.

• Adding support for multiline texts for MessageBox.body , CustomForm.label , CustomForm.header using \n .

Blocks

• Added snow_log_no_collision behavior to precipitation_behavior in minecraft:precipitation_interactions component. This behavior will allow creators to specify whether snow should cover their custom block or not.

• Fixed trait minecraft:multi_block not loading properly with modern block definition loader

Voxel Shapes

• Added non-unit-cube voxel shapes for 70 Vanilla blocks when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled. These shapes improve face culling so that hidden faces between adjacent blocks are correctly removed.

• Slab shapes (62 blocks)

• Other shapes (8 blocks): Calibrated Sculk Sensor, End Portal Frame, Powered Comparator, Powered Repeater, Snow Layer, Stonecutter, Unpowered Comparator, Unpowered Repeater

• Fixed Vanilla slab face culling so that the top face of a block directly above or below a slab is now correctly culled against the slab's shape

• Fixed minecraft:replaceable to work with all parts of a multi-block . Also the component can no longer be defined in the permutations array, only allowed in the base components object

• Fixed selection outline for multi-blocks using minecraft:random_offset . Also for multi-blocks minecraft:random_offset can no longer be defined in the permutations array only in the base components object ( MCPE-237071 )

• Fix minecraft:placement_filter not working for block with trait minecraft:multi_block ( MCPE-237498 )

• Multi-blocks that don't have a minecraft:selection_box component will now default to a full block outline shape for each part ( MCPE-237089 )

• Added non-unit-cube voxel shapes for 19 Vanilla blocks when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled. These shapes improve face culling so that hidden faces between adjacent blocks are correctly removed

• Cake shapes (1 block): 7 bite-counter shapes for each slice of cake

• Candle Cake shape (17 blocks)

• Composter shapes (1 block): 8 fill-level shapes for each stage of composting

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

Fixed an issue where point lights were over exposed at their center

• This behavior can be replicated using emissive textures if desired

Under the RenderDragon Features for Creators Experiment

• Migrated colored block light storage to the GPU

• There may be new artifacts with light leaking through or around blocks

• Colored block lights now influence Volumetrics

Scripting

• Added scripting method that allows creators to check the snow logging behavior of a block.

• 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" } } } } ] } }

Chat command completion on iOS keyboard no longer produces "ō" or "ō" and suggestion, it will properly autocomplete a suggestion ( MCPE-158584 )

Fixed /setblock and /fill commands from placing partial double blocks, like the upper part of a door Block

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

• 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" }

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"

• 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

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" } } }
