Changes: Edit World is being updated with improved navigation, more descriptions, and a new look and feel that matches the new Create New World Screen. It’ll be rolled out gradually across Android, iOS, Windows, and Xbox in the following days. We’re still working on some things, like support for other platforms, and some minor bugs and improvements. We need some more time to work on these features in order to provide the best possible experience. We would love to hear what you think! Share your feedback on the Feedback Site and put “Edit World” in the title so we can find it.
Realms
- Introduced Realms Stories, a new social hub for your Realm
- Realms Stories features include:
- The Story Feed – lets you share your greatest gameplay moments with your fellow Realm members
- The Timeline – lets you see when other members are playing on the Realm
- The Members tab – shows a list of all Realm members and their permission levels
- Please note that Realms Stories will not be accessible the first time you launch 1.20.60.23. To use Realms Stories, launch the game, close it, and then launch it again.
- You can find more details about this feature on the feedback site, where we also hope you will share your thoughts about the feature.
- Known issues:
- The Story Feed won't update with new stories posted by other users until you exit Realms Stories and come back
- Users that have been invited to the Realm but have not yet joined, and prior members who were in the Realm but have since left, will show up in the Members tab
- Notifying owners about stories/comments doesn't work
- Clicking the 'Manage Members' button as a Realm owner can result in a hang
- Comments may not always appear properly
- Screen-reader narration isn't finished
- Realm members don't see themselves in the Members tab
Technical Updates
Add-Ons and Script Engine
- The "minecraft:geometry.full_block" identifier for the "minecraft:geometry" block component has been added
- The "minecraft:geometry.full_block" identifier provides a centered 1x1x1 cube geometry
- When combined with a material_instances component with "render_layer": "opaque", it enables rendering-only capabilities previously included in the "minecraft:unit_cube" component including:
- Occludes both vanilla and custom neighboring full blocks
- Culls faces that neighbor vanilla and custom neighboring full blocks to improve rendering performance
- Add content error logging to help creators identify content that hits or exceeds the state bit/permutation count per block (MCPE-177045)
General
- Updated listed values for the Vanilla "orientation" block state in documentation
API
- Added Biome Registry biome names and StructureFeatureType enum to vanilla metadata generation
Components
- Added an "interact_filters" field to the "ageable" component, which allows to specify conditions on when the actor can be fed
Editor
The Editor and its corresponding API are in early development, and available for keyboard/mouse on Windows PC Bedrock Preview builds. Tag us on social channels with #BedrockEditor.
Learn how to use the Editor, join the GitHub Discussion discussion forum to engage with the team, and get started building extensions via the starter kit and samples.
Updates this week:
- Default block for BlockType in Selection tool is now 'grass'.
- Scripted property panes will now be scrollable once they reach a certain height.
- Editor Playtest pane now supports setting time of day and weather when testing levels, as well as minor tweaks to the layout. Time in the Playtest pane supports either Minecraft time (0-23999) or 24hr time (00:00-23:59).
- Added new bindings and support for scripts to be able to push a TypeScript object as a payload on to the transaction stack, and register a set of handler functions which will receive the payload when the transaction system receives an undo or redo event
- A Navigation record system has been added to Editor. View the GitHub release notes for more details on features and functionality.
- Added an export for stringFromExtension so that it can be used in both internal and external Creator extensions
- A new line tool is added to the Editor. View the GitHub release notes for more details on features and functionality.
- Editor UI now scales according to the screen resolution rather than the game window size.
- Property options in the play/test pane retain their values when the game reloads.
This week we are officially closing the v0.4.X semantic iterations and considering our work towards v0.5 done. View release notes in GitHub for additional details and an aggregate summary of all v0.4.X iteration updates.

- Added function getDynamicProperty(identifier: string): boolean | number | string | Vector3 | undefined - Returns the value of the dynamic property with the given identifier if it exists, otherwise returns undefined
- Added function getDynamicPropertyIds(): string[] - Returns an array of all dynamic property identifiers on the item stack
- Added function getDynamicPropertyTotalByteCount(): number - Returns the total byte count of all dynamic properties on the item stack
- Added function setDynamicProperty(identifier: string, value?: boolean | number | string | Vector3): void - Sets the value of the dynamic property with the given identifier. If the value is undefined, the dynamic property will be removed
- Added function clearDynamicProperties(): void - Removes all dynamic properties from the item stack
- Added function getDynamicProperty(identifier: string): boolean | number | string | Vector3 | undefined - Returns the value of the dynamic property with the given identifier if it exists, otherwise returns undefined
- Added function getDynamicPropertyIds(): string[] - Returns an array of all dynamic property identifiers on the item stack
- Added function getDynamicPropertyTotalByteCount(): number - Returns the total byte count of all dynamic properties on the item stack
