Experimental Features

Add-Ons

• Custom projectiles spawned via the "minecraft:spawn_entity" component now apply the offset field of "minecraft:projectile" when the experimental toggle "Custom Projectiles" is enabled

API

• Fixed bug where @minecraft/server-net was using the incorrect dedicated server configuration ID for a pack. Under ./config/<moduleID>/* is a pack's configuration for scripting. The server-net module was looking at the pack ID rather than the script module ID like all other modules.

• Added class PlayerStartBreakingBlockAfterEventSignal to beta

• Added interface PlayerBreakingBlockEventOptions to beta

• Added property WorldAfterEvents.playerStartBreakingBlock to beta

  • It may only store up to 1KBytes of data per block entity
  • It (currently) does not carry over its data to the item resulting from mining or picking the block entity

DDUI

Blocks

• Added the 'minecraft:block_entity` block component

  • It has a single boolean field dynamic_properties
  • It requires format version 1.26.20 and Experimental Upcoming Creator Features
  • It cannot be used in permutations

• When a block with a 'minecraft:block_entity` is placed in the world, an associated block-entity will be placed with the intent to provide persistent local metadata, akin to chests, spawners, signs, etc...

  • While leaner than their Vanilla counterparts, they still are heavier on the RAM than non-block-entities; use them sparingly

Graphical

• Fixed an issue where square artifacts would appear when looking at point lights

Items

• Item components minecraft:swing_sounds, minecraft:durability_sensor, minecraft:record, and minecraft:use_modifiers now accept string-based sound event names in addition to enum values when using the Beta APIs experimental toggle

Packs

• Added new pack folder to dedicated server for system packs (packs which are loaded automatically to the world and disallow other packs using their IDs)
  • system_behavior_packs and system_resource_packs
