Minecraft PE 1.20.10.23 Changelog

Recipe Unlocking

• We tested having a notification that informed you about new ways of creating recipes you’ve already unlocked. It didn’t feel helpful. Do you know how many ways there are to make sticks?! Yeah, a lot. We are removing this version of the unlocking notification
• Spectator mode is for spectating. Not unlocking recipes! With this fix recipes won’t unlock when you’re in spectator mode
• Unlocking a new recipe no longer sets the inventory toggle option to be "All". The craftable toggle will now reliably stay the way you left it

Sneak and Crawl

• Fixed an issue that caused players to automatically sneak while on ladders
• Fixed a bug that caused the player to get stuck at the top of a ladder when sneaking
• Crawling head rotation no longer follows camera rotation directly
• Fixed an issue where Swift Sneak did not increase Crawling speed
• Fixed an issue where legacy Crawling was not working correctly with the Sneak and Crawl toggle turned off
• Fixed an issue where mobs did not have the correct collision box when spawning
• Short Sneaking has now been ‘de-experimentified’ and is available during normal gameplay
• Crawling animation is no longer triggered while gliding below blocks
• Players can now be forced into sneak/crawl state while flying

Add-Ons and Script Engine
