  • Structure Void blocks once again prevents interaction with blocks and entities placed behind them (MCPE-175237)

Script API​

Items​

  • Renamed "minecraft:use_duration" to "minecraft:use_modifiers" and added a "movement_modifier" parameter in json format versions 1.20.50 and higher
  • Deprecated "minecraft:chargeable" in json format versions 1.20.50 and higher. Use "minecraft:use_modifiers" instead for "movement_modifier" behavior
  • Deprecated "on_dig" event triggers from "minecraft:digger" in format versions 1.20.50 and higher

Cameras​

  • Added a content warning for when the camera is placed outside of the player's chunk radius

AI Goal Components​

  • Added "minecraft:behavior.melee_box_attack" behavior which functions the same as "minecraft:behavior.melee_attack" but uses bounds based attack reach calculations
    • The _reach_multiplier_attribute is removed and replaced with box_increase
    • Reach is calculated by increasing the bounds of the attacking mobs in the xz-plane by _box_increase_blocks to create an "attack box". If the attack box intersects with the target's bounds the attacking mob can reach it
