1.21.60 is a minor update for Bedrock Edition released on February 11, 2025,^[1][2] which adds some experimental features for Spring to Life and fixes bugs. This is the first version released in 2025.

Accessibility

• Added narration in the Realms plan picker screen informing the player they can navigate below the "buy" button to get more information about a given plan.

Filter Profanity Toggle

• Introduced a new "Filter Profanity" setting on Windows. When on, all text content including chat will perform as it always has; profanities will be filtered for you and others. When off, most profanities, with the exception of some potentially harmful content, will be unfiltered for player and all others who also have the toggle off. The setting is default on for all players and cannot be changed for child accounts or players not signed in. Player can toggle it off in Settings under "General".

Creaking Heart

• It now has an additional state for when it is in a valid configuration but unable to spawn a creaking due to it being daytime.

Eyeblossoms

• They now open when the moon starts rising, and close when the moon has completely set.

Iron Bars, Block of Iron, Iron Trapdoors, Iron Doors and Heavy Weighted Pressure Plates

• They now make iron sounds when you mine, break, place and walk on them.

Monster Spawners

• Zombie villagers no longer spawn from zombie spawners.

Pale Oak Leaves and Pale Oak Sapling

• The map color of them has been updated to better match their actual in-game color.

Torchflowers, Pitcher Plants, Open Eyeblossoms and Closed Eyeblossoms

Cat

Creaking

• Creakings now crumble if their creaking heart is forcibly deactivated through commands.
• They now emit vibrations when swaying after being hit.
• Creakings spawned by a creaking heart can now be nametagged, preventing them from despawning during the day.
  • Destroying their creaking heart will still cause them to crumble.
  • Hitting a nametagged creaking during the day will result in a particle trail, but no resin.
• The creaking can now spawn when the moon starts rising, and crumbles when the moon has completely set.

Drowned

• Babies now move with the same speed as baby zombies, baby husks, and baby zombie villagers.

Fox

• Foxes now periodically play their "mad" sound while defending a player.

• For the achievement % counter, a new book asset replaced the potion bottle and supports multi-tier visual states to celebrate progress, including a delightful animation for 100% completion.

This catalog should be saved as item_catalog/crafting_item_catalog.json in player's behavior pack.
• Item and Block json files now require a namespace for group names in the menu_category object.
• Added new Creator toggle setting "Show Content Log GUI On Error During Load".

• Removed content log error: 'Block needs both a geometry and material instances component'.

Collisions

• Entities with no collision box but with the minecraft:custom_hit_test component are no longer sometimes unable to be interacted with.

Commands

• The mine overload of the /loot command has been moved to outside of "Upcoming Creator Features" experiments.

Graphical

• Improved logic for handling very large textures within atlases. Textures that are guaranteed to overflow the maximum atlas size will now have mips dropped individually rather than forcing the entire atlas to drop mips.

Experimental

• Removed the Creator Cameras: Focus Target Camera experimental toggle
• Focus Target Camera has vertical_rotation_limits of [0.0, 180.0] by default to reflect world space changes.
