Animation​

  • Fixed an issue where animation events, sound effect events, and particle events would not trigger if the event time specified was equal to the total "animation_length"
  • Fixed an issue where event times were not considered within the animation length calculation that happens when "animation_length" is not explicitly specified

Molang​

  • Fixed arrow operator to return 0 if the left side is not a valid entity or item, rather than causing the entire expression to return 0
    • For example, if bis not valid variable.a = variable.b->variable.c will now assign 0 to variable.a
    • This is not a Molang Versioned Changebecause no known content is currently using the arrow operator

    • This is a Molang Versioned Change that only takes effect for Molang expressions in packs that use a min_engine_version of 1.18.10 or higher
    • Previously nested conditional expressions like 'A?B:C?D:E'would evaluate as ' (A?B:C)?D:E', now they evaluate as 'A?B:(C?D:E'
  • Access of missing public variables on other entities will return 0.0 and not cause an error
  • Fix loading of public variables containing capital letters to not cause an error
  • Added "slot.equippable" added as a slot option for WearableItemComponent and Molang
  • Added alland query.any to check if a value matches all or any of the following values
  • Added in_rangeto check if a value is in the (inclusive) range between a min and max value

Block Components (Experimental)​

  • Fixed BlockPartVisibilityComponent for multiplayer by adding network save/load tags (MCPE-141908)

GameTest Framework (Experimental)​

There are some important breaking changes in APIs creators should be aware of:

  • Renamed mojang-minecraft:Worldobject to mojang-minecraft:world 
    • In practice, this means “World.getDimension” code should now read “world.getDimension”
  • Removed mojang-minecraft:Commands- Instead, we are adding runCommand methods on dimension, entity, and player
    • In practice, this means that “Commands.run(“say Hello World”, dimension)” should now read “dimension.runCommand(“say Hello World”)”
