Light Block

• The different block states for the light_block ID have now been split up into their own IDs.

Mushroom Blocks

• The chance of dropping mushrooms (max of 2) from brown and red mushroom block was increased to match Java Edition, from 10% per mushroom to 11.11%.

Mushroom Stem

• No longer drops mushrooms when mined.

Sandstones

• The different block states for the sandstone ID have now been split up into their own IDs.

Smooth Sandstone

• It now has a hardness of 2 and a blast resistance of 6.

Structure Block

• From versions 1.21.20, the player ID given to tamed mobs loaded from a structure block will always be the original owner's ID.

Trial Spawner

• Its break and place sounds are now pitched differently.

Tuff, Tuff Bricks, and Polished Tuff

Realms tab

• Added a brand-new Realms tab with new sections:
  • List of Realms: Easily view all the Realms you own or have joined.
  • Start Playing: Launch your Realm directly from this screen.
  • Online Player Count: See how many players are currently online in each Realm.
  • Realm Management: Take control of your owned Realms by editing worlds and managing subscriptions.
  • Add or Join Realms: Explore new Realms by adding or joining them.
  • Realm Stories: View Realm stories.

Bed Screen

• Enabled the new version of the Bed Screen. The user can opt-in or opt-out using a feature toggle under Settings-Video Tab. (Preview only)

become_angry_event

• Is now applied when zoglins become angry and start chasing a mob.

become_calm_event

• Is now applied when zoglins become calm and lose their target.
  • These changes were made to fix MCPE-95523.

AI Goals

• Exposed minecraft:behavior.swim_up_for_breath AI goal component which allows a mob to try to move to a location where it can breathe air once it is close to running out of its breathable supply.
  • In Vanilla, this is used by dolphins. Any custom content built off of the Vanilla dolphin at or above version 1.21.20 will need to manually add this component to enable this AI behavior.

API

• EntityLeashableComponent
  • Moved class EntityLeashableComponent from beta to 1.13.0.

Entities

• Zoglins now have a new component group: angry_zoglin. This component group contains the minecraft:angry component.
  • This addition was made to fix MCPE-95523.

General

• Updated schema documentation for Filter Groups.

Graphical

• 2 Channel textures in resource packs are now properly supported. When loaded they will always use the first channel to represent all three color channels and the second channel for alpha (I.E A normal texture would be (R, G, B, A) where a 2 channel texture will always be treated as (R, R, R, A)).

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

API

• EntityBreathableComponent
  • Changed function setAirSupply(value: number): void to property airSupply: number in beta.
  • Added property readonly canBreathe: boolean to beta.
• Added isHardcore to 1.14.0 beta.

  • Default values example:

"item_display_transforms": {
"gui" : {

  • red_sandstone_slab can now be crafted again with 3 horizontal red_sandstone:0.

• Fixed a bug where the Breeze could get stuck in one place when beneath a roof of blocks while attacking.
• Wind Charges thrown by Players no longer have a chance of dealing more than 1 damage per hit.
• Jumping no longer overrides any previous greater upward velocity, and therefore doesn't cancel momentum from a Wind Burst explosion when both happen at the same time.

• Players are no longer kicked from the Realm if the owner enters and exits the Realms Settings screen without modifying packs while multiple Add-Ons are applied.
• Navigating away from the Realms Stories Story Feed tab upon reading the first page of stories will remove the unread stories badge as the user has seen the most recent posts.
• Fixed a bug where brand new Realm Events wouldn't display properly the first time the Story Feed is opened.
• Fixed a bug that locks players on an infinite loop after cancelling the process of joining a recently claimed Preview Realm.
• Fixed a bug where culling rules for data driven blocks did not rotate with the transformation component.
• Fixed a bug where certain objects from the world would be visible through the gamma calibration menu in the Deferred Technical Preview.
