Minecraft Beta & Preview - 1.20.20.21

  • Updated Aux-Value to Block-State table in the documentation to account for data upgrade since inception
  • Added server-authoritative-sound bool to server.properties
  • Removed MinecraftEntityTypes from @minecraft/server and replaced with version from @minecraft/vanilla-data
  • Exposed MoonPhase and World.getMoonPhase to script

Add-Ons​

  • Display a warning message when camera perspective option is changed in the settings menu but a camera command is active
  • Move PlacementDirection ("minecraft:placement_direction") and PlacementPosition ("minecraft:placement_position") block traits out of experimental. These traits can be used for blocks with "format_version" >= "1.20.20"

Commands​

  • Fixed issue where the controllers right/left d-pad autocompletes commands when the text box wasn’t selected, which also selected different UI elements on the screen
  • "stained_glass" block is now split into unique instances, namely "white_stained_glass", "orange_stained_glass", "magenta_stained_glass", "light_blue_stained_glass", "yellow_stained_glass", "lime_stained_glass", "pink_stained_glass", "gray_stained_glass", "light_gray_stained_glass", "cyan_stained_glass", "purple_stained_glass", "blue_stained_glass", "brown_stained_glass", "green_stained_glass", "red_stained_glass", and "black_stained_glass"
    • Commands will still work with "stained_glass", but "stained_glass" won't be suggested in the command prompt, rather the new names will
  • "stained_glass_pane" block is now split into unique instances, namely "white_stained_glass_pane", "orange_stained_glass_pane", "magenta_stained_glass_pane", "light_blue_stained_glass_pane", "yellow_stained_glass_pane", "lime_stained_glass_pane", "pink_stained_glass_pane", "gray_stained_glass_pane", "light_gray_stained_glass_pane", "cyan_stained_glass_pane", "purple_stained_glass_pane", "blue_stained_glass_pane", "brown_stained_glass_pane", "green_stained_glass_pane", "red_stained_glass_pane", and "black_stained_glass_pane"
    • Commands will still work with "stained_glass_pane", but "stained_glass_pane" won't be suggested in the command prompt, rather the new names will

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.

Fixes this week:

  • Fixed a bug where Tool mode UI failed to refresh upon executing the /reload command
  • Number input fields will now adjust valid number values to the closest limit if they fall outside of the defined range
  • Fixed an issue where UI text was exceeding the boundaries of panes and containers, resulting in improper alignment and visual inconsistencies.
  • Selection volumes and gizmos can now be seen through blocks

Script API​

Items​

  • "minecraft:entity_placer" will now content error when invalid blocks are named in the "use_on" and "dispense_on" lists
  • Released the "minecraft:use_animation" item component out of experimental in json formats 1.20.20 and higher
  • Released the "minecraft:allow_off_hand" item component out of experimental in json formats 1.20.20 and higher
