Technical Updates

AI Goals

• Made schemas for the following goals stricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 26.10 and newer
  • minecraft:behavior.celebrate_survive
  • minecraft:behavior.random_search_and_dig
  • minecraft:behavior.swim_with_entity
  • minecraft:behavior.take_flower
  • minecraft:behavior.trade_with_player
  • minecraft:behavior.teleport_to_owner
  • minecraft:behavior.work
  • minecraft:behavior.work_composter
• The following float range fields now only accepts an object with min and max values. Other formats will fail to parse
  • fireworks_interval in minecraft:behavior.celebrate_survive
  • cooldown_range and digging_duration_range in minecraft:behavior.random_search_and_dig

API

• Include built in math functions in generated metadata for molang
• Fixed a bug where isValid could return false for a valid SimulatedPlayer after it had been spawned
• Changed resultItem on EntityDefinitionFeedItem and FeedItem to be of type string | undefined
• Released resultItem on EntityDefinitionFeedItem and FeedItem from beta to v2.6.0
• Released EntityItemDropAfterEvent from beta to v2.6.0
• Released EntityItemDropAfterEventSignal from beta to v2.6.0
• Released EntityItemDropEventOptions from beta to v2.6.0
• Released WorldAfterEvents.entityItemDrop from beta to v2.6.0

Blocks

• Added Block trait minecraft:multi_block behind 'Upcoming Creator Features' experiment
  • Used to define a block composed of multiple block parts. A multi block treats all individual parts as a single block, like Door blocks
  • The selection box can be extended for the size of the multi block, by setting "minecraft:selection_box" to true and the trait will update it based on the parts total and geoemtry size
  • The trait combines the AABBs from the "minecraft:selection_box" for each part.
    • So if this is in the components section: "minecraft:selection_box": {"origin": [-8, 0, 5], "size": [16, 16, 3] }
    • Then each part will have an AABB of 16x16x3 and when the player looks at the multi block the outline AABB will be a combined 16x16x9(in world space)
  • Enables new state minecraft:multi_block_part
  • Required direction property used to define which direction the block parts are placed from 0 to N. Valid values are limited to "up" and "down"
  • Optional part_count property used to initialize state minecraft:multi_block_part, valid value range is [2, 4]
  • Command inspection & api support will be coming in an upcoming preview
    Example:

{
	"format_version": "26.0",
	"minecraft:block": {

• We have an experiment active in preview that may utilize the modern parsing pipeline. There are some breaking changes that may affect loading of block json with format version 26.10. If you are unable to load a custom block json, please take a look at the following changes, that may affect you, if the experiment is active on your build. The list is not exhaustive so please report any unknown issues with loading custom blocks.
  • Name space constraints have been tweaked but everything permitted before should still be valid.
    • This can affect the identifiers used for the block, states and menu category groups.
  • "placement_direction" trait, validation change: Duplicate values will now be rejected in "enabled_states".
    • The rotation offset does not have a 0.5 tolerance anymore.
    • Input value is converted to the closest 90 degree value.
    • The value must be in the range 0 to 360 inclusive.
    • "blocks_to_corner_with" now requires "minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction" to be one of the "enabled_states" for the "placement_direction" trait.
  • "placement_position" trait, validation change: Duplicate values will now be rejected in "enabled_states".
  • "menu_category", validation change: An empty "group" value is not allowed.
    • The "group" field can either exist with a non-empty value or not exist at all.
    • "category" is now a required field, when using "menu_category". This is strictly enforced now.
  • "minecraft:flower_pottable", validation change: It is restricted outside of root components object.
  • "minecraft:geometry", validation change: The constraint on "culling_shape" identifier is strictly enforced now.
    • When using the minecraft namespace, the only currently available culling shape identifiers are : "minecraft:empty" or "minecraft:unit_cube".
    • When using no namespaces or a custom one, the names must start and end with an alpha-numeric character.
  • "minecraft:light_dampening" and "minecraft:light_emission", validation change: They now strictly enforce the value to be between 0 and 15 inclusive.
  • "minecraft:map_color" will only work with object notation in preview.
    • The array notation support will be added for release.
  • There is a breaking change to how tags are defined.
    • As of version 26.10, tags cannot freely live as top level entities in the components array.
    • They must live in the "minecraft:tags" component, which accepts an array of tags of the format :
      • "minecraft:tags": ["minecraft:crop", "custom:custom_tag"].
    • The values must have the format "namespace:tag_name".
    • They no longer need to be prefixed with tag:

Commerce Experiences

• Updated the assert message when the file download size is zero, and stop retry if the size is zero and there is a network error.
• Fixed an issue with images for the Marketplace Pass and Realms FAQs pages being excessively large

Editor

• Fixed a bug that entities can't spawn in the center of the cursor position for Summon Tool

  • Converted Jigsaw Tool UI from dropdown-based to CollectionTree component (pools displayed as folders with pieces as entries)
  • Added localized error logging when jigsaw files can't be saved (file locked by another program)
  • Moved checkboxes (Reuse Seed, Skip Validation) into a wrapping row layout
  • Updated Jigsaw UI strings
• Farm generator now places crop block on tilled dirt and not water blocks
• Fixed a bug where most double slab blocks were missing from the Block Picker menu, preventing users from adding them to the Hotbar or using them in Brush Block filters

• Fixed a bug where players were unable to create a selection volume using the Enter key in Marquee mode
• Fixed the /structure load command placing structures at a different position in Editor mode compared to Test World

Graphical

• Fixed gamma encoding of sun, moon, weather, and end sky in Vibrant Visuals mode

Item

• The minecraft:block_placer item component has a new boolean field "aligned_placement"
  • When true, block placement through this item will be aligned while holding the interaction button down
  • It is defaulted to false
  • It is supported from format version 26.0 onward

JSON Schema

• Updating the canopy_decoratorschema to support placing several blocks in a row as a decorator.
  New schema includes decoration_blocks_sequence as a list of blocks and a count per block to be placed.
  This aims to replace decoration_block and num_steps, however the old format is still supported but if both are give the new one is prioritised.
  Example of new format:

 "canopy_decoration" : {
        "decoration_blocks_sequence" : [
          {
            "block": "minecraft:bedrock",
            "count": 1
          },
          {
            "block": "minecraft:dirt",
            "count": [1, 2]
          },
          {
            "block": "minecraft:stone",
            "count": {
              "range_min": 1,
              "range_max": 2
            }
          }
        ],
        "decoration_chance": {
          "numerator": 1,
          "denominator": 4
        },
        "step_direction": "out"
      }
