Technical Updates
AI Goals
- Made the schema for minecraft:behavior.follow_mob stricter when parsing, now will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.26.50 and newer
API
Entity.teleport now throws an Error when the entity has passengers and the target dimension is different from the entity's current dimension. Passengers must be dismounted before teleporting to another dimension. Current solution is scoped to fix current game breaking interruptions with future improvements backlogged.
Tamed pets no longer attempt to follow their owner when the owner travels to or from a custom dimension
Fixing 'scale' property on DebugShape when used with DebugCone, DebugEllipsoid, DebugPyramid, and DebugCylinder.
'rotation' property of DebugShape now applies to DebugLine, DebugArrow, DebugCircle, DebugSphere, and DebugBox.
World now exposes a soundDefinitionRegistry property that returns a SoundDefinitionRegistry for querying registered server sound definitions
Added SoundDefinitionRegistry with a getDefinitions() method that returns the registered SoundDefinition entries and accepts an optional SoundDefinitionFilter
Added SoundDefinition with a soundEventId property, a durationInfo property, a musicInfo property, and a tags property
Added SoundDefinitionDurationInfo with a duration property
Added SoundDefinitionMusicInfo with genres, moods, artist, and title properties
Added SoundDefinitionFilter with minDuration, maxDuration, genres, moods, artists, titles, and tags properties
Player.playSound now accepts a SoundDefinition in addition to a sound event id
Structure Files
- Added version 2 of the structure (.mcstructure) file format
The block_indices arrays are now stored as NBT IntArrayTags instead of a ListTag containing one IntTag per block, which significantly reduces the time and memory needed to save and load structures
The second block_indices array is now optional in version 2 structure (.mcstructure) files, and is left out when nothing is stored in the extra block layer, making those files ~50% smaller
Version 1 structures still load correctly, and are upgraded to version 2 the next time they are saved
Block Components
Thin Fences and Trip Wire
Vanilla glass panes, iron bars, copper bars, and trip wire blocks now expose minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, and minecraft:connection_west block states reflecting which cardinal neighbors they connect to
For new worlds (base game version 1.26.50 and later), thin-fence and trip-wire connection-state changes now trigger neighbor block updates for parity with Java Edition; existing worlds keep the prior client-only update behavior
Blocks
Extended /fill command behaviour with multi-blocks to Scripting fill block APIs, such as Dimension.fillBlocks
The block component minecraft:block_entity no longer requires the experimental toggle from format version 1.26.20 onward.
Removed minecraft:block_entity component restrictions for multi-blocks, each part will have its own block entity by design
Commands
- Added the serveridentity command, which lets dedicated-server operators save, delete, and check the status of the server identity key
Dedicated Server
NetherNet is now the default transport used by dedicated servers
Windows dedicated servers, including EDU, now use the correct application data directory for Bedrock and Education
Added a dedicated server option to unpack optimized creator packs into loose files
Editor
The Texel Size slider is now disabled when using Soft Shadows in Vibrant Visuals, as this setting has no effect on soft shadow rendering
Fixed a bug that caused UI to not load on player join when the server load is high
Added color-aware Custom Mesh Tool placement so creators can place imported colored meshes as matched block groups from the Color Block List
Added a Render Clouds setting to the Editor World View panel
Added addHeader API to ISubPanePropertyItem to create a custom sub pane header with an optional prebaked multiselect checkbox, an overflow menu, and a dynamic region of icon buttons and color pickers
Added buildSubPaneViewControl API to ISubPanePropertyItem to sort, filter, and manage a list of header sub panes
Added tags option to ISubPanePropertyItemOptions for filtering sub panes through a parent sub pane view control
Entity Components
Made the minecraft:instant_despawn component schema stricter for entity JSON at format version 1.26.50 and later
Added the minecraft:can_stand_on_powder_snow component for entity definitions with a format version of 1.26.50 and later
- Entities with this component can stand on top of Powder Snow
- The lightweight type family no longer grants this behavior to entity definitions using format version 1.26.50 or later
- Entity definitions using an older format version that include the lightweight type family are automatically upgraded to include this component
- The vanilla Endermite, Fox, Rabbit, and Silverfish entity definitions no longer include the lightweight type family
Added the minecraft:block_movement_slowdown_immunity entity component
- When set, the entity is immune to movement slowdown from the specified blocks
Sounds
Released minecaft:sound block component out of experimental
- it can be used to assign a set of sounds to block and its permutations similar to sound field in blocks.json
- blocks.json overrides values of minecraft:sound component, including values in all permutations
