API

• Added beforeEvents object to @minecraft/server-net module version 1.0.0-beta which exposes two events:
  • packetReceive: This event is called when the game server receives a network packet from a client. If cancelled, the server will silently ignore the packet.
  • packetSend: This event is called when the game server sends a network packet to client(s). If cancelled, the packet is dropped and never sent to the recipients.
• Added additional optional arguments of name and parentThemeId to addNewTheme(). When a valid parentThemeId has been passed through the function, the newly created theme would inherit all the theme color properties from the parent.
• Vanilla trial spawner NBT normalConfig and ominousConfig tags values now support references to common configurations as an alternative to inline configuration.

Audio

• Per-biome ambient sounds are now defined in client_biome JSON components
  • This uses the new minecraft:ambient_sounds component
  • Named sounds must be defined in individual_named_sounds in sounds.json files.

Biomes

• Client biome JSON files now support a minecraft:biome_music component with a volume_multiplier field which will gradually affect music volume when the audio listener is inside the corresponding biome.
  • The gradual volume change will take roughly ten seconds and will linearly increase but exponentially decrease.

Blocks

• Using the minecraft:block_placer item component to render the referenced block as the item icon no longer requires the "Upcoming Creator Features" toggle.

Entity Components

• Added a new component minecraft:cannot_be_attacked. When added to an entity it prevents other entities from attacking it unless they fulfill an exception filter, in vanilla it is added to ghasts, creators can add their entities to the exception filter allowing them to then attack ghasts.
• The minecraft:looked_at component's look_at_locations field now accepts a list of objects as a parameter, each containing two fields
  • location, the location of the entity that must be visible
    • Valid values: head, body, feet
  • vertical_offset, an optional vertical offset applied to the entity's location
• Added the minecraft:ignore_cannot_be_attacked component and moved the filter from minecraft:cannot_be_attacked to it. This allows content to have custom mobs which bypass the cannot_be_attacked component (for example the one on the ghast) without requiring a modification of the attacked mob's settings.
• The minecraft:angry component now has a new field:
  • broadcast_anger_when_dying defines whether an entity should broadcast anger to entities of the same type if killed in one hit. This is set to true by default.
  • This change was not mentioned in the changelog.

Entity Event Responses

• Added the play_sound entity event response, which allows the owner entity to emit sounds.
  • The sound field specifies the sound event to play.
  • Sounds are played at the owner entity's position.
• The execute_event_on_home_block entity event response is now marked as [Beta] and requires use_beta_features to be specified in the root JSON object.
• Added the emit_particle entity event response, allowing particles to be emitted at the center of the entity's bounding box.
  • The particle field allows to specify the type of particle to emit.

General
