Whoosh! Did you hear that? No, it wasn’t the sound of a poison arrow (more on that later) – it was the wind charge, which is coming to Bedrock Edition preview and betas TODAY. The wind charge is an item that lets you harness some of the breeze’s powers – like being able to leap extra high, and shoot gusts of wind at your enemies to deal impact damage and knockback. Dropped by defeated breezes, I’m going to use my wind charge to jump straight to: the bogged! The bogged is a new hostile mob that can spawn in the trial chambers, and attacks with poison-tipped arrow. The bogged might be slightly weaker than their skeleton cousins, but what they lack in speed, they make up for in damage! Face up against the bogged, test the new wind charge and more in today’s preview and beta for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
Here’s a list of what’s new. As always, we love to hear your feedback, so please let us know what you think here, and report any bugs you may encounter at bugs.mojang.com.

- Wind Charges have a max stack size of 64
- There is half a second cooldown after each use

- Players that launch themselves with a Wind Charge only accumulate fall damage below the y-level of where they collided with the wind burst

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 forum to engage with the team, and get started building extensions via the starter kit and samples.
Updates this week:
- Fixed incorrect negative sign in Cursor Delta display in the status bar
- Added a 'border: true|false' option to the Editor remote pane TextComponent
- Added a text component to the Information section in the Playtest dialog
- Created a "blockPalette" service in the Extension Context that contains "getSelectedBlockType" and "setSelectedBlockType". This will be used to store the block type that is going to be painted to the world. The Selection, Cube Brush, and Line tools have been updated to use this service!
- Added a stateful menu to toggle Overworld weather in World Options.
