• Mangrove Swamp underwater fog now gradually fades out after entering water, as it does in other biomes

Technical Updates

Component

• Moved the “minecraft:compostable” item component out of experimental and to Release. Moved the related scripting apis out of Beta to Release

Editor

• Added a new Workbench tool which allows for quickly changing block states for blocks with modifiable properties (doors, fences, etc)

• Added ContinuousAction to supported key binding actions that simulate key repeats at set tick intervals

• Added ‘Test World’, ‘Export’, and ‘Settings’ to the ActionBar

• Added missing image for ‘Navigation Panel’ in the ActionBar

• Updated rotation slider to be an integer

• Fixed incorrect maximum value for fixed distance mode

• Fixed a bug that caused text field to lose focus when another UI element is hovered

Experimental Technical Updates

API

• Rename handleCounts interface to HandleCounts in @minecraft/debug_utilities module.
• Fixed BlockLocationIterator crash that could happen if the BlockVolume that the iterator came from was deleted first.

Experimental

• Focus Target Camera has vertical_rotation_limits of [0.0, 180.0] by default to reflect world space changes

• Focus Target camera now stops targeting when either clear from the camera command is used, or when the target is over 64 chunks away from the camera

Stability and Performance

• Experimental support for applying a service-driven texture memory budget in low memory situations. When enabled, memory will be conserved by progressively reducing resolution of some textures as usage approaches the budgeted limit.
