Campfire

• Campfires no longer set players and mobs on fire.

Components

• Expanded minecraft:shooter component to define multiple projectiles that can specify different projectile definitions and condition filters.

• Projectiles that teleport their owner will no longer do so while their owner is sleeping. (MCPE-161189)

Molang

• Fixed a bug where dividing any value in Molang by a dynamically determined negative variable resulted in a division by a positive (absolute) value instead.
  • This is a Molang Versioned Change that only takes effect for Molang expressions in packs that use a min_engine_version of 1.19.60 or higher.

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs" and "Next Major Update" experimental toggle.

API

• Added method setOnFire(seconds: number, useEffects?: boolean = true): boolean) which sets an entity on fire (if it is not in water or rain).

• If an entity is on fire, you can call getComponent(minecraft:onfire) on it, which returns an object of type EntityOnFireComponent, which has a property onFireTicksRemaining.
• Fixed a bug where viewDirectionwould return the direction from the previous tick.
• Fixed a bug where getEntitiesFromViewDirectionwould use the direction from the previous tick.
