  • minecraft:behavior.fertilize_farm_block
  • minecraft:behavior.harvest_farm_block

  • minecraft:behavior.lay_egg
• Float Range field time_of_day_range in minecraft:behavior.drop_item_for now only accepts an object with min and max values.
• Field lay_seconds in minecraft:behavior.lay_egg now only accepts numbers greater than or equal to 0.

• Moved world.getSeed to stable.
• query.get_level_seed_based_fraction is no longer restricted to the Upcoming Creator Features toggle.
• Added minimum, maximum, or both bounds to several APIs.
• API metadata now list any bounds, minimum value, or maximum value if applicable on interfaces and class methods and properties.
• Moved localizationKey property on ItemType, EntityType, BlockType, and BlockPermutation from beta to stable.

@minecraft/server-net

• Added additional error types for HTTP requests:
• HttpRequestBodyTooLargeError - Request body exceeds configured limit.
• HttpRequestLimitExceededError - Concurrent request limit reached.
• HttpRequestNotAllowedError - Request targets a URI not in the allow list.
• HttpsOnlyError - HTTPS required but non-HTTPS URI provided.

Components

• Replaced the simulate_waves field of the minecraft:buoyant component with the new movement_type field.
  • The movement_type field accepts one of three values:
    • waves, makes the entity move up and down based on its speed (default value).
    • bobbing, makes the entity move up and down at a constant pace.
    • none does nothing.
  • The big_wave_probability and big_wave_speed fields are only used when movement_type is set to waves.
• Added the can_auto_step_from_liquid field to the minecraft:buoyant component.
  • Defines whether the entity can move out of a liquid block to a neighboring solid block if pushed against it.

Dedicated Server

• Added HTTP configuration capabilities for the @minecraft/server-net scripting module on dedicated servers. Server operators can now configure HTTP request limits and restrictions via the permissions.json file. All of the configurable options are optional. If not specified, limits for the particular setting will not be enforced.

Graphical

• The colored block lighting feature is no longer restricted to the Render Dragon Features for Creator Experiment.
  • To enable this feature, PBR resource packs must include a local_lighting.json with static_light entries. Blocks that do not have a static_light and light_color specified via a provided resource pack will be treated as non-colored lighting and use the standard uniform light color.
• Static colored lighting on flowing lava and other blocks no longer appears too dark in Vibrant Visuals.
• Adding static_light shading to data driven entities in Vibrant Visuals.
• Added static_light shading to more entities and items in Vibrant Visuals.
• Static colored lighting no longer leaks through corners in Vibrant Visuals.
• Adjusted the light attenuation of static colored block lighting to be less intense.
• Custom blocks with ambient occlusion disabled do not have the occasional black vertex issue anymore.
• Improve ambient occlusion for blocks using a custom geometry.
• Removed ESSL_300 shader language support.

Realms

• Added message and logic for error joining realm whose owner is banned.

UI

• Added button enumeration narration to the death screen when text to speech is enabled.
• Text input fields now support arrow key navigation between lines and keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+V on Android.
• Input fields in Ore UI now support mouse caret positioning and selection on Android.

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", and new "Experimental Voxel Shape Features" experimental toggles.

Add-Ons and Script Engine

• Added experimental toggle "Voxel Shapes" which enables the use of voxel shapes on blocks.
  • Voxel shapes are currently only used for occlusion/culling.
  • Currently, only unit cube Vanilla blocks have a voxel shape associated. With this experiment enabled, custom blocks with a voxel shape will only cull against Vanilla unit cube blocks or other custom blocks with a voxel shape.

Blocks

• Added culling_shape field to minecraft:geometry component behind the VoxelShapes toggle.
  • The value should be an identifier of a voxel shape and can refer to either a custom voxel shape file, minecraft:unit_cube, or minecraft:empty.
  • If the VoxelShapes experiment is enabled and a shape is not specified, minecraft:empty will be used by default if the block does not use minecraft:geometry.full_block.
• Blocks can handle the following entity events in scripting through the onEntity handler:
  • Custom named events:
    • on_home from minecraft:behavior.go_home
    • on_escape from minecraft:behavior.avoid_block
    • on_reach from minecraft:behavior.move_to_block
    • on_place from minecraft:behavior.place_block
    • on_take from minecraft:behavior.take_block
  • Unlike the current Vanilla blocks that handle those events, custom blocks may receive those events up to one tick after they were emitted, depending on how late in the tick the event was emitted.
