Technical Updates
AI Goals
Made the schema for for the following goals stricter when parsing, they will now fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.26.0 and newer
minecraft:behavior.delayed_attack
minecraft:behavior.dragonstrafeplayer
minecraft:behavior.dragonchargeplayer
minecraft:behavior.melee_attack
minecraft:behavior.melee_box_attack
minecraft:behavior.stomp_attack
Float Range field target_zone in minecraft:behavior.dragonchargeplayer and minecraft:behavior.dragonstrafeplayer now only accepts an object with min and max values. Other formats will fail to parse.
Added new fields to minecraft:jump.dynamic
regular_skip_data: Used during normal skip movement
distance_scale: The multiplier applied to horizontal velocity when jumping
height: The force applied vertically when jumping
jump delay: Amount of ticks between sequential jumps
animation_duration: Duration of the jump animation
fast_skip_data: Used when travelling quickly with skip movement
distance_scale: The multiplier applied to horizontal velocity when jumping
height: The force applied vertically when jumping
jump delay: Amount of ticks between sequential jumps
animation_duration: Duration of the jump animation
API
Fixed a issue where getComponents on Entity could return an undefined in the array, when used in older scripting versions.
Blocks
Added block permutation component validation for geometry and material instance components. If you add one, you need to add the other.
Raises a warning for blocks with a format_version from before 1.26.0
Raises an error for blocks with a format_version of 1.26.0 and after
The Block Trait minecraft:connection can now be used without the Upcoming Creator Features toggle
minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction in minecraft:placement_direction can now be used without the Beta APIs toggle
Updated documentation for the “use_liquid_clipping” field in “minecraft:liquid_detection” to better explain its use.
Updated minecraft:geometry block component to fix
Changed minecraft:geometry.full_block so DOWN face is rotated 180 degrees, this brings it in parity with non data driven full blocks and Java full blocks.
Creators can still use the old geometry by explicitly using the identifier minecraft:geometry.full_block_v1.
Any existing blocks using minecraft:geometry.full_block that have a format_version less than 1.26.0 will look the same and internally be considered as minecraft:geometry.full_block_v1.
Released minecraft:collision_box improvements from experimental and removed requirement of format version 1.21.130 or higher for those improvements.
Can now have an array of collision boxes
Max height has been increased from 16 to 24
Game no longer crashes on initializing minecraft:collision_box component when the server sends invalid packets
Camera
Provided the script API for supporting entity type families in the aim assist
Components
Updated the various “minecraft.behaviour.look_at_X” behavior components
Made schemas stricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.26.0 and newer
“min_look_time” and “max_look_time” – deprecated and has been replaced properly with “look_time”
Uses of “min_look_time” and “max_look_time” will get upgraded automatically
“look_time” – takes “min” and “max” as a range
These changes affect the following behavior components:
“minecraft.behaviour.look_at_entity”
“minecraft.behaviour.look_at_player”
“minecraft.behaviour.look_at_target”
“minecraft.behaviour.look_at_trading_player”
Previous usage of the following definitions will not be automatically upgraded to preserve old behavior
“look_time” – this was not correctly parsed prior to version 1.26.0, and always resulted in default values being assigned to “min_look_time” and “max_look_time”
“target_distance” – was used in some definitions and it was never passed to the component
This would just silently fail and assign default values to the component
Editor
Added getDefaultProperties, popPropertiesById, pushPropertiesById and updatePropertiesById functions to Cursor API to manage stateful properties
Added dimensionId and ignoreEditorModeVisibilityOverride to the Widget API to control widget visibility without manual handling
Added a drawerPane API property to IRootPropertyPane for displaying a split-view drawer overlaid on the root pane’s contents
Added a style API property to IPropertyItemOptionsBase for overriding default styles of items
Added 3-point selection mode enabled by default (shift-click to make a 3D volume selection), added ‘2-Point Selection’ toggle to disable
Updated IListPanePropertyItem to dynamically adjust its size based on the number of entries until the maximum height is reached, unless the optional fixedHeight property is set
Updated LayoutAlignment API enum values to be Start and End, instead of Left and Right
Updated LayoutDirection API with PaneLayoutType, and Horizontal property will now be treated as a single row
Updated Grapple tool so it will work within the full view distance
Fixed a bug that caused Navigation panel selected location to not mark the list entry
Fixed a bug that caused the input field focus highlight to remain after a drag operation
Entity
All projectiles now deflect “reflect_on_hurt:true” projectiles on hit as outlined in the documentation
This is in addition to damage causing these projectiles to be deflected
Entity Components
Fixed an issue where ‘on_equip’ and ‘on_unequip’ events on the ‘minecraft:equippable’ entity component would be executed on world load
The ‘on_equip’ and ‘on_unequip’ events now only execute as a result of an interaction in the game world
Split the minecraft:breedable component into two:
minecraft:offspring_data which defines how an offspring of an entity is born, it contains the following fields moved from minecraft:breedable
blend_attributes
inherit_tamed
mutation_factor
mutation_strategy
random_variant_mutation_interval
random_extra_variant_mutation_interval
deny_parents_variant
breeds_with
combine_parent_colors
property_inheritance
parent_centric_attribute_blending
minecraft:breedable now only contains data about how an entity uses breeding behavior
Such as how it enters the “love” state such as the items it requires, if it must be tamed, or at full health
How it handles the pregnancy system and fires those events
The way it spawns the child entity is via the minecraft:offspring_data component which an entity must have
General
Fixed issue where marketplace content did not load correctly on PlayStation
Added new Biome tags
“slime” tag allows Slime to spawn higher than usual
“swamp_water_huge_mushroom” tag allows huge mushrooms to spawn in shallow swamp water
“fast_fishing” tag increases Fishing speed
“high_seas” tag alters Salmon behavior
“surface_mineshaft” tag changes Surface Mineshaft blocks to Dark Oak
Changed so that it is possible to reuse a keybinding for normal actions, macros, and chords
Network Protocol
ActorType modified: added ActorType::Undead
ActorType modified: renamed ActorType::UndeadMob to ActorType::UndeadMonster
ActorCategory modified: renamed ActorCategory::UndeadMob to ActorCategory::UndeadMonster
Added new Level Sound Event “saddle_in_water”
Levelsoundevent modified: added unique sound events for every spear type
Sounds
Every spear type now has its own unique sound event, allowing creators to define dedicated custom sounds
Stability and Performance
Fixed a crash that could sometimes occur if the game is closed when the “Syncing user data” screen is showing
User Interface
Updated the priority of stack_panel children to be bindable
UI Scaling
Consolidated JSON UI and Ore UI under one scaling approach
Ore UI screens use full-integer scaling for sharper visuals
Revised scaling range: new defaults, new min/max
Default scale uses DPI-based detection on handheld devices
Minimum scale set to half the maximum scale value
Experimental Technical Updates
API
Added attachedTo property to DebugShape which specifies an Entity that this shape should be positionally attached to.
Added visibleTo property to DebugShape which specifies an (optional) array of players that this shape should be visible to.
Debug Shapes no longer have a maximum render distance.
Added EntityItemDropAfterEvent to beta
Added EntityItemDropAfterEventSignal to beta
Added EntityItemDropEventOptions to beta
Added previousPowerLevel to BlockComponentRedstoneUpdateEvent behind BETA
Camera

Technical
Added the new tag minecraft:metal_nuggets item tag to Copper, Iron and Gold Nuggets
