Beta 1.19.40.23 (Android) or Preview 1.19.40.23 (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox) is the fourth beta/Preview version for Bedrock Edition 1.19.40, released on September 29, 2022,^[1] which fixes bugs, and brings more parity of Java Edition.

/summon

• Temporarily disabled the rotation for the /summon command while a bug is worked on. (MCPE-162264)^{[verify for Bedrock Edition]}

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

Commands

• Fixed a rotation issue when a Command Block executes /execute facing and /execute rotated. (MCPE-162256)
• Implemented the /execute in command.
• Implemented the /execute anchored command.
• Teleporting to an entity in another dimension is now allowed with the /execute and /teleport commands.

API

• Major breaking change to experimental JavaScript APIs:
  • All script modules have been renamed to follow a new convention.
    • mojang-gametest -> @minecraft/server-gametest
    • mojang-minecraft -> @minecraft/server
    • mojang-minecraft-ui -> @minecraft/server-ui
    • mojang-minecraft-server-admin -> @minecraft/server-admin
    • mojang-net -> @minecraft/server-net
  • For example, rather than using:
    • import * as mc from "mojang-minecraft";
  • Use:
    • import * as mc from "@minecraft/server";
      • Use of script eval() and Function() must be explicitly in json
      • To do this, set script_evalian capabilities
    • "capabilities":[ "script_eval"]
      • Root path for imports has changed; scripts/prefix are no longer allowed.
      • For imports, use import "./source.js" or import "source.js".
      • Deprecated use of import "scripts/source.js".

Actor Properties

• Fixed "bool_property" filters that didn't specify a "value".

General

• Release BlockGeometryComponent out of experimental in JSON formats 1.19.40 and higher.
• Release BlockMaterialInstancesComponent out of experimental in JSON formats 1.19.40 and higher.
• Renamed minecraft:block_light_filter component to minecraft:light_dampening.

Vanilla Parity

• Getting killed by a mob with a renamed weapon now produces a death message with the item name. (MCPE-162055)
• Wither skeletons can now spawn inside of wither roses. (MCPE-110127)
• Decreased the amount of hunger used while swimming to match Java Edition. (MCPE-154452)
• Librarian villagers can now offer enchanted books with 'Curse of Vanishing' and 'Curse of Binding'. (MCPE-84906)

Spectator Mode (Experimental)

• Shulker bullets no longer follow spectators. (MCPE-162069)
• Spectators are now invisible to normal players.
• If a player is in Spectator Mode and other non-spectating players are present on the server, the spectating player will not affect mob despawning anymore.
• If there are only spectating players on the server, mob despawning is now put on hold.

User Interface

• Fixed a bug where death messages were sometimes too long to fit on screen. (MCPE-156550)
• The inventory button for touch devices is now reset to its default appearance after closing the inventory.
• Fixed the crafting screen search string not saving correctly.
• Fixed an issue with the durability bar missing on inventory screens on Xbox. (MCPE-162063)
• Fixed a bug where the sign in button on Create New World did not work on some platforms.

Mobile Touch Controls

• Fixed a bug where items could not be removed from the hotbar by moving them onto other items in Creative Inventory on mobile devices.
• Fixed an issue where the stack splitting progress bar was not aligned on touch mode.
• Adjusted layout of the touch toolbar and status effect icons based on user feedback.
• Temporarily disabled the preview of our new Touch Stack Splitting UX while we work through feedback.

Mobs

• When a mob is a passenger in a boat, neither the boat nor the mob are allowed to change dimension. (MCPE-154919)

Blocks

• The book of an enchanting table now properly faces a nearby player. (MCPE-29924)
