Block components

  • Thin fences and tripwire:
    • Vanilla glass panes, iron bars, copper bars, and tripwire blocks now expose minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, and minecraft:connection_west block states reflecting which cardinal neighbors they connect to.
    • For new worlds, thin fence and tripwire connection state changes now trigger neighbor block updates for parity with Java Edition; existing worlds keep the prior client-only update behavior.
  • Updated the Block JSON loader to support future optimizations and out of game upgrades.
  • Leaves:
    • All leaves blocks now carry the minecraft:leaves tag.
      • Tree features match through tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:leaves')" in may_replace instead of listing each leaves block by name, so a new leaves block no longer has to be added to every tree feature to be grown through.
  • minecraft:tags:
    • The minecraft:is_shears_item_destructible block tag now also grants the shears breaking speed bonus, matching the behavior of the other is_*_item_destructible tags.

Blocks

  • Fences:
    • Vanilla fence blocks now expose per-direction connection block states (minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, minecraft:connection_west), reflecting which neighbors the fence connects to. Changing a fence's connections now sends block updates to neighboring blocks in worlds using version 1.26.50 and later.
  • Stairs
    • Vanilla stair blocks now expose a minecraft:corner block state (none, inner_left, inner_right, outer_left, outer_right) reflecting the corner shape formed with adjacent stairs.
    • For new worlds (base game version 1.26.40 and later), stair corner-state changes now trigger neighbor block updates for parity with Java Edition; existing worlds keep the prior client-only update behavior.
  • Extended /fill command behaviour with multi-blocks to Scripting fill block APIs, such as Dimension.fillBlocks.
  • The block component minecraft:block_entity no longer requires the experimental toggle from format version 1.26.20 onward.
  • Removed minecraft:block_entity component restrictions for multi-blocks, each part will have its own block entity by design.
  • Released horizontal multi-blocks; these are blocks defined with the minecraft:multi_block trait with a direction field that is horizontal.
    • The Upcoming Creator Features experiment is still required for them if format_version is less than 1.26.50.
  • Chorus Plant:
    • Chorus plant blocks now expose the minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, minecraft:connection_west, minecraft:connection_up, and minecraft:connection_down block states reflecting which adjacent chorus plants and chorus flowers they connect to.
  • Fire:
    • Fire blocks now expose the minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, minecraft:connection_west, minecraft:connection_up, and minecraft:connection_down block states reflecting the flammable and supporting blocks around them.

Camera

  • Camera presets that inherit from minecraft:follow_orbit no longer reset the player's rotation the first time they are applied, for presets using format version 1.26.50 or later.

Commands

  • Added the /serveridentity command, which lets dedicated-server operators save, delete, and check the status of the server identity key.

DDUI

  • Added fixedFormatDigits to SliderOptions within @minecraft/server-ui so the slider display can format to a certain decimal point.

Entity components

  • Added projectile-hit teleportation fields to the minecraft:teleport component.
    • teleports_on_projectile_hit determines whether the entity attempts to teleport away from an incoming projectile and defaults to false.
    • projectile_filter defines the conditions an incoming projectile must meet to trigger a teleport attempt.
  • Added type families to vanilla projectile entities.
    • All vanilla projectile entities now include the projectile family.
    • Each projectile includes a type-specific family, such as arrow, snowball, or wither_skull.
  • The multiple_targets field on the minecraft:projectile component is now defaulted to false with format version 1.26.50 and above while remaining defaulted to true otherwise.
  • Made the schema for minecraft:insomnia stricter for format version 1.26.50 and later.
  • Immunity to the freezing from powder snow is no longer hardcoded at runtime and is instead defined by the minecraft:freezing_immune component.
    • The following mobs will be upgraded to automatically have this component:
      • minecraft:creaking
      • minecraft:ender_dragon
      • minecraft:polar_bear
      • minecraft:skeleton
      • minecraft:snow_golem
      • minecraft:stray
      • minecraft:wither
    • All non-mob entities are implicitly immune.
  • Vulnerability to freezing damage from powder snow is no longer hardcoded at runtime and is instead defined by the minecraft:freezing_vulnerable component.
    • The following mobs will be upgraded to automatically have this component:
      • minecraft:blaze
      • minecraft:magma_cube
      • minecraft:strider
  • The ambient sounds of entities are no longer redefined at runtime and instead respect the conditions defined by minecraft:ambient_sound_interval.
    • Previously the ambient sound event name of an entity would be overwritten in these conditions:
      • If its head was in water then it would become ambient.in.water.
      • If it was not on the ground then it would become ambient.in.air.
      • If it would otherwise play ambient sounds and it was a baby then it would become ambient.baby.
    • If any of these conditions were true then it would override any user-defined entry in the event_names parameter of minecraft:ambient_sound_interval.
    • Now this will no longer happen and only the event name specified by minecraft:ambient_sound_interval will be used.
    • Entities defined in any older version will fall back to the original overriding path as a minecraft:uses_legacy_ambient_sounds component will be added.
    • The minecraft:uses_legacy_ambient_sounds is deprecated as users should now specify the indended behavior in minecraft:ambient_sound_interval.
  • Deprecated minecraft:projectile's owner_launch_immunity_ticks field in favor of a spatial check that determines when the projectile has left its shooter's vehicle hierarchy.
    • Projectiles can now only hit the entity that shot them, or entities in the same vehicle hierarchy (such as the shooter's mount), after they have spatially left that hierarchy.
  • Made the minecraft:instant_despawn component schema stricter for entity JSON at format version 1.26.50 and later.
  • Added the minecraft:can_stand_on_powder_snow component for entity definitions with a format version of 1.26.50 and later.
    • Entities with this component can stand on top of powder snow.
    • The lightweight type family no longer grants this behavior to entity definitions using format version 1.26.50 or later.
    • Entity definitions using an older format version that include the lightweight type family are automatically upgraded to include this component.
    • The endermite, fox, rabbit, and silverfish entity definitions no longer include the lightweight type family.
  • Added the minecraft:block_movement_slowdown_immunity entity component.
    • When set, the entity is immune to movement slowdown from the specified blocks.

Features

  • Added the minecraft:conditional_list feature which places features based on a collection of conditions evaluated in order.
    • The conditional_features field is an array of objects, each containing a places_feature reference and an optional Molang condition expression.
    • The early_out_scheme field controls when evaluation stops: condition_success stops at the first condition that passes, placement_success stops at the first successful placement, and none (default) evaluates all entries without stopping early.
  • Added the multipart_block_column_feature that places an ordered column made of 1–4 block types: tip_block, frustum_block, middle_block, and base_block.
    • Its default growth direction is UP.
  • The blocks used depend on the generated column height:
    • 1 block: tip_block
    • 2 blocks: frustum_block + tip_block
    • 3 blocks: base_block + frustum_block + tip_block
    • 4+ blocks: base_block + one or more middle_block + frustum_block + tip_block
    • The restrictions include: may_place_on which restricts valid placement surfaces and may_replace to restrict which existing blocks may be replaced (omit to allow any).
  • A new value, wall, to the field surface has been added to the schema of snap_to_surface_feature, which allows the feature to be snapped to walls as well as ceilings and floors.
  • A new field allow_non_air_placement has been added to the schema of snap_to_surface_feature, which allows specifying whether the snapped feature can be snapped through solid blocks.
    • If the snap is started inside a block that is not water or air, this field decides if the feature can snap out of it.
  • Renamed the field vertical_search_range to search_range in the schema for snap_to_surface_feature.

Gameplay

  • The minecraft:default_biome component in the dimension JSON is now optional and only supported on custom dimensions; using it on a vanilla dimension now produces a content error instead of being silently accepted.
  • Added the minecraft:default_biome component to custom dimension JSON, allowing creators to configure the biome a custom dimension generates with.
  • Added support for defining custom dimensions with JSON and configuring custom dimension heights.

JSON Schema

  • The JSON document upgrader now differentiates base game JSON from creator JSON, so base game content may use the minecraft: namespace while creator content continues to be validated against creator namespace rules.

Loot tables

  • Added the optional operator field to all loot table conditions, allowing control of whether the condition's result is used directly or negated.
    • == and equals apply when the condition evaluates to true.
    • != and not apply when the condition evaluates to false
    • Omitting operator preserves the existing behavior and is equivalent to using ==.

Mobs

  • Many mob properties are no longer saved if their values are the default.

Molang

  • Added query.has_all_biome_tags world generation Molang query that returns 1.0 if the biome at the current placement position has all of the specified tags.
  • Added query.has_any_biome_tags world generation Molang query that returns 1.0 if the biome at the current placement position has at least one of the specified tags.
  • Added new query query.head_is_in_water which checks if the head of the entity is in water.

Packs

  • System packs are now sorted into alpha-numeric ordering before being added to the stack.
  • System packs that fail to load their manifest file or fail to execute their script plugin will now stop the dedicated server.

Pack Settings

  • Added a new multiselect pack setting type, letting pack authors declare a list of options.
    • Molang can query for active options in the multiselect via query.is_pack_setting_selected.
    • world.getPackSettings() now can return an array of strings for multiselect options in @minecraft/server beta.
    • PackSettingsChangeAfterEvent.settingValue now can be an array of strings for multiselect options in @minecraft/server beta.

Script Debugger

  • Added the script-debugger-listen-address server property; script debugger listen mode now binds to loopback by default, and non-loopback listen addresses require a configured passcode.

Server

  • Released version 2.2.0 of @minecraft/server-ui.

Sounds

  • Released minecaft:sound block component out of experimental.
    • It can be used to assign a set of sounds to block and its permutations similar to sound field in blocks.json.
    • blocks.json overrides values of minecraft:sound component, including values in all permutations.
  • Added allow_concurrent_streaming to sound objects in sound_definitions.json, allowing streamed ordinary sound events to play independent simultaneous instances. The field defaults to true in format version 1.26.50 and later.

Structure Files

  • Added version 2 of the structure (.mcstructure) file format.
    • The block_indices arrays are now stored as NBT IntArrayTags instead of a ListTag containing one IntTag per block, which significantly reduces the time and memory needed to save and load structures.
    • The second block_indices array is now optional in version 2 structure (.mcstructure) files, and is left out when nothing is stored in the extra block layer, making those files ~50% smaller.
    • Version 1 structures still load correctly, and are upgraded to version 2 the next time they are saved.

Experimental

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", "Upcoming Creator Features", "Render Dragon Features for Creators", and new "Creator World Clocks Features" experimental toggles.
