  • It is defaulted to false

JSON Schema

• Updating the canopy_decoratorschema to support placing several blocks in a row as a decorator. New schema includes decoration_blocks_sequence as a list of blocks and a count per block to be placed. This aims to replace decoration_block and num_steps, however the old format is still supported but if both are give the new one is prioritised. Example of new format:

 "canopy_decoration" : {
        "decoration_blocks_sequence" : [
          {
            "block": "minecraft:bedrock",
            "count": 1
          },
          {
            "block": "minecraft:dirt",
            "count": [1, 2]
          },
          {
            "block": "minecraft:stone",
            "count": {
              "range_min": 1,
              "range_max": 2
            }
          }
        ],
        "decoration_chance": {
          "numerator": 1,
          "denominator": 4
        },
        "step_direction": "out"
      }

• Fixed bug that made buttons at the top of the Marketplace screen difficult to select with controller

Experimental Technical Updates

Add-Ons and Script Engine

• Added experimental toggle “Voxel Shapes” which enables the use of voxel shapes on Vanilla and custom 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.

API

• Added minimum, maximum, or both bounds to several APIs.

• Fixed EntityHurtBeforeEvent.cancel to not allow some sources of knockback (sprint bonus, enchantment, mace smash, projectiles) when set to true

• Moved localizationKey property on ItemType, EntityType, BlockType, and BlockPermutation from beta to stable.

• This release introduces new UI capabilities called Data-Driven UI (DDUI). These APIs introduce a new way to create modal forms with new capabilities and an all new look. New modal forms is the first step in our UI journey for creators. Stay tuned for more features in future updates!

  • More information can be found here: Introduction to the Data-Driven UI (DDUI) Framework
  • Known Issues:
    1. You need to wait a tick between programmatically closing a CustomForm/MessageBox and opening another.
    2. Showing a CustomForm/MessageBox while UI is already up “queues” the UI to show up instead of failing like the previous form APIs.
    3. CustomForms will only update after being shown via Observables, you cannot add a new button/dropdown/slider/etc while the form is shown.

• Reload command. Now it closes all the Data Driven UI screens as part of the execution.

• ScriptSetBannerDetailsFunction now includes base color and pattern data.

• Fixed an issue with DebugBox where the position was being used as the bottom-left corner, instead of the centre. .

• Fixed an issue with DebugShape.attachedTo where the attachment position was unintentionally using the height offset of the entity.

Server-UI DDUI

• Changed Class CustomForm
  • Changed return of method show(): Promise<void> to Promise<boolean> where returning true means it was shown and false means it was not shown.
  • Added isShowing(): boolean method.
• Changed Class MessageBox
  • Added isShowing(): boolean method.
• Changed interface MessageBoxResult.
  • Added property wasShown which is set to true if the message box was shown to the player.

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.

• Added Block trait minecraft:multi_block behind ‘Upcoming Creator Features’ experiment

• Added some Json constraints for blocks with trait minecraft:multi_block

  • Component "minecraft:movable" must be defined and cannot be defined in permutations. Valid values for "movement_type" are "popped" or "immovable"

  • Component "minecraft:placement_filter" cannot be defined in permutations

• Added minecraft:chest_obstruction component under the Upcoming Creator Features toggle

• It defines how a block placed above a chest or ender_chest should obstruct their opening

  • “obstruction_rule” (Optional): Specifies how the block is evaluated during chest opening if placed above; “shape” is the default when not specified.
    • “always”: Will always obstruct a chest from opening.
    • “never” : Will never obstruct a chest from opening.
    • “shape” : Will use the Blocks AABB shape to determine if the chest is obstructed from opening.
  • Blocks prior to 26.10 will behave as expected based on their defined geometry and material instances
  • Example:

	"format_version": "26.10",
	"minecraft:block": {
		"description": {
			"identifier": "test:test_block"
		},
		"components": {
			"minecraft:chest_obstruction": {
				"obstruction_rule": "always"
			}
		}
	}

Voxel Shapes

• Fixed voxel shape loading to properly validate custom shape files. (MCPE-235789)

  • Individual boxes must now be within the allowed bounds of (-14, -14, -14) to (30, 30, 30) pixels.
  • At least one box must overlap the base block (0-16 pixels on all axes).
  • Total shape extent cannot exceed 30 pixels (1 block + 14 pixels) on any axis.

• Fixed rare crash on PS5 native due to inconsistency of packet ordering

• Fixed content warnings for unit cube and empty shapes that appear when joining a voxel shape enabled world as a client

DDUI

• Fixed scroll bar for message box
  • It was showing all the time, now it is only rendered when needed

Graphical

• Removed the legacy format for specifying light colors in the “Render Dragon for Creators” experiment. point_lights/global.json will no longer be loaded. Creators should migrate to the newer format of local_lighting/local_lighting.json.

Mobs

• Updated baby chicken textures, previously they were missing the texture underneath the wings

• Updated the bone hierarchy of Baby Mule and Baby Donkey to match the Baby Horse and Adult Horse hierarchy

• Renamed the bones of Baby Donkey and Baby Mule to match Baby Horse

• Updated the UVs for the rear legs of both Baby Donkey and Baby Mule

• The new Rabbit models and textures are now version sliced

  • Textures are prefixed with rabbit_

User Interface

• Added the correct icon for Party settings (MCPE-235095)

• Changed screen narration to not read the Marketplace Pass banner

Realms

• Realms Moderate Feed screen has been updated to OreUI

Rendering

• Armor attachables for Players now use a new render controller called controller.render.armor.player

Server-UI DDUI

• Renamed interface LabelOptions to TextOptions.
• Class CustomForm.
  • Added method label(text: Observable<string> | string | UIRawMessage, options?: TextOptions): CustomForm.
• Class MessageBox.
  • Removed method title(text: Observable<string> | string | UIRawMessage): MessageBox.
  • Added parameter title to static method create:
    • static create(player: Player, title: Observable<string> | string | UIRawMessage): MessageBox.

Previously, a big Minecraft update 2.87 added quality-of-life improvements and fixes. Unfortunately, since the last MC patch 2.73, players are still facing issues with the game. Today’s Minecraft version 1.044.000 will fix a few of these issues.
