Sculk Sensor

• Vibration frequencies of many actions in the game have been tweaked and greatly simplified to prevent unwanted interference, as following:

Action	Frequency Value
Movement in any medium (land, water and air)	1
Landing on any surface (land or water)	2
Item interactions	3
Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (Ravager roar, Wolf shaking, etc)	4
Dismounting a mob or equipping gear	5
Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob	6
Mobs and players getting damaged	7
Consuming items (drinking and eating)	8
Blocks 'deactivating' (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)	9
Blocks 'activating' (door open, chest open, button press, etc)	10
Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to campfire, etc)	11
Blocks being destroyed	12
Blocks being placed	13
Mobs and players teleporting or spawning	14
Mobs and players dying or an explosion	15

Experiments

• All Trails & Tales content has now been “de-experimentified” and is available during normal gameplay.
• Removed the Next Major Update toggle, since it has no active experimental content.

Accessibility

• The four Creative Inventory tabs now have their names read out by text-to-speech.

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

Add-ons

• Added minecraft:facing_direction state to the minecraft:placement_direction block trait.
  • minecraft:facing_direction is a six value integer state (down, up, south, west, north, east).
  • Can enable and access this state on blocks through the minecraft:placement_direction trait.
  • Can access the minecraft:cardinal_direction state on blocks that apply the minecraft:placement_direction trait in block_property Molang queries and set_block_property EventResponses.
• Pumpkin blocks use state minecraft:cardinal_direction instead of direction.

API

• @minecraft/server
  • Renamed BlockProperties to BlockStates.
  • Renamed getAllProperties to BlockPermutation.getAllStates.
  • Renamed getProperty to BlockPermutation.getState.
