Wilderness Bound is out now in Minecraft!

Wilderness Bound is out now in Minecraft! Pack your supplies and set off on an expedition into the dappled forest where the trails end and adventure begins. Seek out abandoned camps, build outposts among the poplar trees, sleep under the stars on straw beds, and share campfire stories atop cushions. Just remember that the wilderness rewards the prepared — and maps are lighter than regrets!

- Released enum CloneMode
- Released the Dimension method cloneBlocks

Loot Tables

Added the optional operator field to all loot table conditions, allowing control of whether the condition's result is used directly or negated
- == and equals apply when the condition evaluates to true
- != and not apply when the condition evaluates to false
- Omitting operator preserves the existing behavior and is equivalent to using ==

Example

The following condition allows a loot entry to be selected only when the loot context is not in a biome with the plains tag:

  "condition": "biome_has_tag",
  "operator": "not",
  "tag": "plains"
}

Script Debugger

Added the script-debugger-listen-address server property; script debugger listen mode now binds to loopback by default, and non-loopback listen addresses require a configured passcode

Server-ui

Released version 2.2.0 of @minecraft/server-ui

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

Fixed an issue where custom blocks and items without a display name component that use localization keys to chain translations displayed their text inconsistently depending on the presentation context. These blocks and items will now consistently display as raw text unless a display name component is used (MCPE-236819)
Update Block JSON loader to support future optimization and out of game upgrade

Leaves

All vanilla leaves blocks now carry the minecraft:leaves tag
Vanilla tree features match leaves through "tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:leaves')" in may_replace instead of listing each leaves block by name, so a new leaves block no longer has to be added to every tree feature to be grown through

minecraft:tags

The minecraft:is_shears_item_destructible block tag now also grants the Shears breaking speed bonus, matching the behavior of the other is_*_item_destructible tags

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
Released horizontal multi-blocks, these are blocks defined with the minecraft:multi_block trait with a direction field that is horizontal. Upcoming Creator Features experiment is still required for them if format_version is less than 1.26.50
Chorus Plant
- Chorus plant blocks now expose the minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, minecraft:connection_west, minecraft:connection_up, and minecraft:connection_down block states reflecting which adjacent chorus plants and chorus flowers they connect to
Fire
- Fire blocks now expose the minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, minecraft:connection_west, minecraft:connection_up, and minecraft:connection_down block states reflecting the flammable and supporting blocks around them
Replacing a custom block that has a minecraft:block_entity component with a different block definition now creates a new block entity, so the previous block's dynamic properties are no longer carried over to the block that replaced it. Changing only a block state keeps the same block entity and its dynamic properties

Fences

Vanilla fence blocks now expose per-direction connection block states (minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, minecraft:connection_west), reflecting which neighbors the fence connects to. Changing a fence's connections now sends block updates to neighboring blocks in worlds using version 1.26.50 and later

Stairs

Vanilla stair blocks now expose a minecraft:corner block state (none, inner_left, inner_right, outer_left, outer_right) reflecting the corner shape formed with adjacent stairs
For new worlds (base game version 1.26.40 and later), stair corner-state changes now trigger neighbor block updates for parity with Java Edition; existing worlds keep the prior client-only update behavior

Camera

Camera presets that inherit from minecraft:follow_orbit no longer reset the player's rotation the first time they are applied, for presets using format version 1.26.50 or later

Commands

Added the serveridentity command, which lets dedicated-server operators save, delete, and check the status of the server identity key
Removed self selection expansion when using commands (i.e. /tell) for non-operator players

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

Fixed a bug where images and GIFs shown in Editor tooltips were rendered at a fixed small size instead of scaling to span the full width of the tooltip
Fixed a bug in the Flood tool where applying it in an invalid location could continue the previous operation, and it now provides feedback when a valid liquid level has not been set

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
List view control actions can now declare a submenu, so the overflow menu renders nested menus and reports only the clicked leaf action
Added user-friendly biome and block names to minimap hover tooltips, making it easier to identify biomes and blocks at a glance

Added ControlHelp feature in the Editor. This allows the user to see what keyboard shortcuts are available in any context (globally and tool-specific) .
addColorPicker on a sub pane header now renders a compact square swatch
Added Swatch variant to ColorPickerPropertyItemVariant for color pickers that need to collapse to a single square
Reworked the Cinematic tool's keyframe list to use expandable sub panes instead of a list pane
- Each keyframe now owns an expander holding its name, timestamp, camera position, a collapsible rotation section, and easing type, with a teleport button and an action menu in the header
- Added a view control footer that selects, duplicates and deletes checked keyframes, redistributes timestamps, and copies or imports cinematic JSON, replacing the buttons that previously sat above the keyframe list
Template Instance Editor - added confirmation dialog for the action of Baking an instance.
Improved Primitives tool placement performance and increased maximum allowed shape sizes

Block Picker

Fixed the Flowing Water and Flowing Lava blocks displaying as "Water" and "Lava", making them indistinguishable from their still variants

Paste Preview

Added a Move mode to the Paste Preview tool, which freezes the preview in place so it can be repositioned with a world gizmo or by typing exact coordinates

Entity Components

Added projectile-hit teleportation fields to the minecraft:teleport component
- teleports_on_projectile_hit determines whether the entity attempts to teleport away from an incoming projectile and defaults to false
- projectile_filter defines the conditions an incoming projectile must meet to trigger a teleport attempt
Added type families to vanilla projectile entities
- All vanilla projectile entities now include the projectile family
- Each projectile includes a type-specific family, such as arrow, snowball, or wither_skull
The multiple_targets field on the minecraft:projectile component is now defaulted to false with format version 1.26.50 and above while remaining defaulted to true otherwise.
Made the schema for minecraft:insomnia stricter for format version 1.26.50 and later
Immunity to the freezing from Powder Snow is no longer hardcoded at runtime and is instead defined by the minecraft:freezing_immune component
- The following mobs will be upgraded to automatically have this component:
  - "minecraft:creaking"
  - "minecraft:ender_dragon"
  - "minecraft:polar_bear"
  - "minecraft:skeleton"
  - "minecraft:snow_golem"
  - "minecraft:stray"
  - "minecraft:wither"
- All non-mob entities are implicitly immune
- Used by defining the component as follows:
```
    "minecraft:freezing_immune": {}
```
The ambient sounds of entities are no longer redefined at runtime and instead respect the conditions defined by minecraft:ambient_sound_interval
- Previously the ambient sound event name of an entity would be overwritten in these conditions:
  - If its head was in water then it would become ambient.in.water
  - If it was not on the ground then it would become ambient.in.air
  - If it would otherwise play ambient and it was a baby then it would become ambient.baby
- If any of these conditions were true then it would override any user-defined entry in the event_names parameter of minecraft:ambient_sound_interval
- Now this will no longer happen and only the event name specified by minecraft:ambient_sound_interval will be used
- Entities defined in any older version will fall back to the original overriding path as a minecraft:uses_legacy_ambient_sounds component will be added
- The minecraft:uses_legacy_ambient_sounds is deprecated as users should now specify the indended behavior in minecraft:ambient_sound_interval
- Vanilla mobs have been upgraded to use this new syntax, which can be preserved as follows:

"minecraft:ambient_sound_interval": {
  "event_name": "ambient",
  "event_names": [
    {
      "condition": "query.head_is_in_water",
      "event_name": "ambient.in.water"
    },
    {
      "condition": "!query.is_on_ground",
      "event_name": "ambient.in.air"
    },
    {
      "condition": "query.is_baby",
      "event_name": "ambient.baby"
    }
  ],
  "range": 16.0,
  "value": 8.0
}

Deprecated minecraft:projectile_component's owner_launch_immunity_ticks field in favor of a spatial check that determines when the projectile has left its shooter's vehicle hierarchy
- Projectiles can now only hit the entity that shot them, or entities in the same vehicle hierarchy (such as the shooter's mount), after they have spatially left that hierarchy
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
Fixed a bug that caused the server to crash when regenerating chunks from the Chunk Management tool
The Poplar Hanging Sign now has the correct name
Entities with the following runtime_identifiers will be upgraded to automatically have this component:
Vulnerability to freezing damage from Powder Snow is no longer hardcoded at runtime and is instead defined by the minecraft:freezing_vulnerable component - Entities with the following runtime_identifiers will be upgraded to automatically have this component: - "minecraft:blaze" - "minecraft:magma_cube" - "minecraft:strider" "minecraft:freezing_vulnerable": {}
The isolated_physics field on minecraft:projectile now defaults to true for format version 1.26.30 and above, and false for older versions
- Vanilla projectile entities now explicitly set isolated_physics to false on their minecraft:projectile component
- A content error is now emitted when isolated_physics is set to true on an entity using a Vanilla projectile runtime_identifier (e.g., minecraft:arrow), as it is not intended to be used with Vanilla projectiles

Features

Added the minecraft:conditional_list feature which places features based on a collection of conditions evaluated in order
- The conditional_features field is an array of objects, each containing a places_feature reference and an optional Molang condition expression
- The early_out_scheme field controls when evaluation stops: condition_success stops at the first condition that passes, placement_success stops at the first successful placement, and none (default) evaluates all entries without stopping early
Added the multipart_block_column_feature that places an ordered column made of 1–4 block types: tip_block, frustum_block, middle_block, and base_block.
Its default growth direction is UP.
The blocks used depend on the generated column height:
- 1 block: tip_block
- 2 blocks: frustum_block + tip_block
- 3 blocks: base_block + frustum_block + tip_block
- 4+ blocks: base_block + one or more middle_block + frustum_block + tip_block
The restrictions include: may_place_on which restricts valid placement surfaces and may_replace to restrict which existing blocks may be replaced (omit to allow any).

Example

{
  "format_version": "1.13.0",
  "minecraft:multipart_block_column_feature": {
    "description": {
      "identifier": "example:ice_cream_lolly"
    },
    "tip_block": "minecraft:red_wool",
    "frustum_block": "minecraft:yellow_wool",
    "middle_block": "minecraft:green_wool",
    "base_block": "minecraft:oak_planks",
    "height_range": {
      "range_min": 4,
      "range_max": 9
    },
    "direction": "UP",
    "may_place_on": [
      "minecraft:ice",
      "minecraft:snow"
    ]
  }
}

A new value, wall, to the field surface has been added to the schema of snap_to_surface_feature, which allows the feature to be snapped to walls as well as ceilings and floors.
A new field allow_non_air_placement has been added to the schema of snap_to_surface_feature, which allows specifying whether the snapped feature can be snapped through solid blocks.
- If the snap is started inside a block that is not water or air, this field decides if the feature can snap out of it.
Renaming the field vertical_search_range to search_range in the schema for snap_to_surface_feature

Gameplay

The minecraft:default_biome component in dimension JSON is now optional and only supported on custom dimensions; using it on a vanilla dimension now produces a content error instead of being silently accepted

JSON Schema

The JSON document upgrader now differentiates base game JSON from creator JSON, so base game content may use the minecraft: namespace while creator content continues to be validated against creator namespace rules

Minecraft Debugger

The Entity System and CPU Profiler views are now usable without a behavior pack enabled

Molang

Added query.has_all_biome_tags world generation Molang query that returns 1.0 if the biome at the current placement position has all of the specified tags

Added new query query.head_is_in_water which checks if the head of the entity is in water

Packs

Dedicated server's system packs not loading pack settings has been fixed
System packs are now sorted into alpha-numeric ordering before being added to the stack

- 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

{
    "format_version": "1.26.20",

            }
        },
        "permutations": [
            {
                "condition": "query.block_state('custom:int') == 1",
                "components": {
                "minecraft:sound": {
                    "sound": "glass"
                }
                }
            },
                    {
                "condition": "query.block_state('custom:int') == 2",
                "components": {
                "minecraft:sound": {

                "sound": "snow"
            }
        }
    }
}

Added allow_concurrent_streaming to sound objects in sound_definitions.json, allowing streamed ordinary sound events to play independent simultaneous instances. The field defaults to true in format version 1.26.50 and later

Fixed issue where item catalog groups with long names crashed the game (MCPE-240721)
Minor improvements to allocator performance and out-of-memory handling

User Interface
