Beta 1.21.90.26 (ChromeOS, Android), or Preview 1.21.90.26 (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox, PlayStation) is the fifth beta/Preview version for Bedrock Edition 1.21.90, released on May 20, 2025,^[1] which fixes bugs.

Beacon

• Now render from any chunk loaded in worlds opened in at least 1.21.90.

• The camera default command will now properly reset third person camera view offset values
• The /controlscheme command no longer requires the "Experimental Creator Camera" toggle.

Sounds

• the_end_light_flash sound effect now triggers when the light flashes in the End dimension in Vibrant Visuals.
• Leashing, unleashing, collecting leashed mobs, and leashing mobs to other mobs now play custom sounds.
• Removing saddles, horse armor, harnesses, and carpets using shears now plays custom sounds.

The Overworld

• Re-enabled Overworld chunk blending which was disabled in the last preview.

Graphical

• Customized atmospherics, color grading, fog and lighting for the End, the Nether, the Overworld dimensions and a variety of biomes in Vibrant Visuals.
  • Some issues exist with atmospherics in End and Nether dimensions.
• Recalibrated all emissive values in MERS textures in Vibrant Visuals.
• Update shadow configurations for "Favors Performance" targets on all Xbox platforms in Vibrant Visuals mode.
• Update Volumetric configs for "Prefers Performance" targets on Xbox One and Xbox One X in Vibrant Visuals mode.
• Reduced the intensity and speed of the caustics animation in Vibrant Visuals.
• Increased emissive intensity and adjusted tone mapping parameters in Vibrant Visuals.
• Added henyey_greenstein_g settings to the fog json files.
  • New section henyey_greenstein_g allows specifying value for both air and water.
  • Example:

{
"format_version":"1.21.90",
"minecraft:fog_settings":{
"description":{
"identifier":"minecraft:test_henyey_greenstein_g"
},
"volumetric":{
"henyey_greenstein_g":{
"air":{
"henyey_greenstein_g":0.5
}
}
}
}
}

• Updated the clouds texture.

Realms

• Realm owners can now choose to require members to opt into the Timeline in order to play on the Realm.
  • To turn this feature on, go to Realms Stories --> Settings and enable "Require opt in to Timeline".
    • The feature can be turned on and off at will.
  • While the feature is on, Realm members who have not opted in will remain members of the Realm, but will not be able to play until they opt in.
    • If a Realm member who previously opted in chooses to opt out, they will not be able to play on the Realm until they opt in again.
  • Realm owners will be able to play on the Realm regardless of whether they have opted in.

UI

• The animated up and down arrows on the locator bar have been repositioned to be closer to the player dot.
• Closing an anvil or an enchanting table now results in the experience bar being shown for 5 seconds instead of the locator bar.
• While using the "Joystick & tap to interact" touch mode, the "Joystick Visibility Option" is now forced into "Visible Joystick" while using the player_relative_strafe or camera_relative_strafe control scheme.

General

• Mobs' and players' legs are now positioned more horizontally when riding, reducing clipping into the ridden entity.

Boat

• Boats are now able to be pulled out of water using a lead.

Ghastling

• The ghastling model is now slightly smaller than before and closer in size to its collision box, though the two still differ.
• The model is intentionally smaller than the collision to prevent z-fighting.
• This is intentionally not in parity with Java Edition, which doesn't require this workaround.

Happy Ghast

• The visual size of the happy ghast has been slightly reduced to prevent z-fighting with water and other adjacent blocks.
  • This change is purely visual and does not affect the happy ghast's collision.
• Happy ghast now immediately loses its ability to collide with entities upon death.

Horse, Donkey, and Mule

• They can now be fed carrots to heal, grow, and improve their temper.

Zombified Piglin

• Baby variants are once again equipped with golden swords.
  • This change was not mentioned in the changelog

Projectiles

• Projectiles now have a tolerance margin that changes over time.
  • Previously, all projectiles had a fixed 0.3 blocks tolerance margin added to the collision.
  • Now, all projectiles start with no margin for the first two ticks of their flight.
  • After that, the target margin will expand by 0.05 blocks per tick until it reaches the target margin of 0.3 blocks.
  • This allows for more precise collision on targets close to the shooting player or entity, while still allowing for some collision leeway for targets further away.

API

@minecraft/server

• Added localizationKey read only property to Dimension, which is the key for localization of a dimension's name used in language files.
• Added EntityHungerComponent, EntitySaturationComponent, EntityExhaustionComponent that allows read and write access to hunger, saturation, and exhaustion values on player objects.
• Added totalArmor and totalToughness read only properties to EntityEquippableComponent.
• BlockMovableComponent APIs have been added to beta.
  • BlockMovableComponent::movementType
  • BlockMovableComponent::stickyType
• Renamed CameraEaseOptions to just EaseOptions to for V2.0 scripting.
• Improved the naming used for the name property of several custom error classes.
• Block custom component event beforeOnPlayerPlace is now called when an item using replace_block_item is set to true for V2.0.0 and higher custom components.
  • In 2.0.0, when using setCurrentValue of an EntityAttributeComponent, the desired value is checked against the effectiveMin and effectiveMax. If the value is out of bounds, an error is thrown.
• Enabled Player.applyImpulse and Player.clearVelocity in beta, which no longer throw errors.

@minecraft/server-admin

• Updated transferPlayer to support NetherNet transfers. It now takes either a hostname/port combination or a NetherNet ID.

Dedicated Server

• Exposed a new parameter for dedicated server to disallow usage of Vibrant Visuals while connected.

Molang

• Added the query.is_riding_any_entity_of_type Molang query, which checks whether an entity is riding another entity of any specified type.

UI

• Added warning pop-up for some Android devices when switching to Vibrant Visuals graphics mode.
• Added a toggle to video settings to enable in-game graphics mode switching. Enabling in-game graphics mode switching may impact texture quality.

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Upcoming Creator Features" experimental toggle.

Blocks

• Added minecraft:movable component under the "Upcoming Creator Features" toggle. This allows for blocks to configure how they should react when moved by a piston.
  • movement_type (Required): Specifies how the block should react when moved by a piston.
    • push_pull: Will allow a block to be pushed by a piston/sticky piston and pulled by a sticky piston (e.g. grass).
    • push: Will allow a block to be pushed by a piston/sticky piston (e.g. glazed terracotta).
    • immovable: Will not allow a block to be pushed or pulled by a piston/sticky piston (e.g. bedrock).
    • popped: Will pop a block when pushed by a piston/sticky piston (e.g. leaves).
  • sticky (Optional): Specifies how the block should handle adjacent blocks when moved by a piston.
    • none: Default. Will not add any additional behavior.
    • same: Will move adjacent blocks along with it when moved by a piston. It will not move different blocks with "sticky": "same" (e.g. a honey block can move another honey block but not a slime block).
      • NOTE: This field only works when used with:

"movement_type":"push_pull"
"format_version":"1.21.90",
"minecraft:movable":{
"movement_type":"push_pull",
"sticky":"same"

World generation

• Namespaces can now be used in template pool element location and jigsaw block identifiers.
