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.

Fixed this week:

• Fixed a bug that prevented the Origin Vector3 item in the Selection pane from updating when the movement gizmo was dragged.

Entity Components

• Unlocked “behavior.random_search_and_dig” for creators to use
• “target_blocks” field added. List of blocks that the mob can dig on. Default if “target_blocks” isn’t added is Dirt, Grass, Podzol, Dirt with Roots, Moss, Mud, and Muddy Mangrove Roots
• “item_table” field added. Path to a loot table that specifies what the mob can dig up. “item_table” takes precedence over “items”
• Content errors added if the behavior has trouble reading or finding “item_table” and if unable to get an item from “items”
• ‘on_item_found’ event now fires on item found AND digging finished. Before the event firing caused the digging to stop early
