Bedrock Editor v0.7.7 is a minor alpha release for the Bedrock Editor released on October 30, 2024, that upgrades grapple locomotion and widgets and fixes bugs.^[1][2]

Grapple locomotion

• Added getRay() to Cursor Service API.
• Camera now rotates toward grapple target during flight and is less snappy.
• Grapple now lets the creator fly 100 blocks distance toward the mouse pointer if there is no nearby block to grapple to.
• Changed hotkey for grapple-to-selection from F to ⎈ Control + ⇧ Shift + F.
• Fixed issue where camera flashes to the inside of the player mobs' head when grappling.

Widgets

• Added a new ClipboardWidgetComponent to the client widget system to allow creators to be able to add clipboard items to widgets, and have them displayed as 'holograms'.
• Added a flag to Widget and WidgetBaseComponent to allow locking the Y position to the surface, based on the XZ position.
• Added a flag to Widget to tell the widget to bind its position to that of the 3D block cursor.

API

• Changed IModalToolContainer.addTool API function to take unique tool id as a required argument.
• Removed inputContextId and inputContextLabel from creation parameters.
• Removed hide, show, dispose functions from IModalTool API.
• Renamed anchor in the ClipboardWriteOptions to normalizedOrigin for clarity.
• Removed all of the CursorAttachment related types, properties and methods.

Miscellaneous

• Renamed "height" to "length" for pyramid brush settings to be more consistent when rotated.
• Added quick action button bar to Selection (Deselect & Fill).
• Added Copy & Cut to main menu and action bar items:
• Added information tooltip links for core editor panes.
• Enabled middle mouse block picking in block picker modal.

• Fixed a bug where cylinder and cuboid brushes with a height of 1 were incorrectly sized.
• Fixed deselect in Line Tool (this was actually a problem with Client Widgets not correctly tracking selected state in script).
• Fix incorrect key binding in Selection move up/down.
• Fixed 'Next Navigation Position' keyboard shortcut to no longer conflict with 'Previous Navigation Position'.
• Brush Painting tools only work in the starting dimension (generally Overworld) and do not work when changing dimensions.
• Selection tool size input box is now enabled when block is selected.
• Fixed keyboard navigation for interactive tooltip links.
• Fixed padding for Selection tool panel items when the scrollbar is absent.

• Grapple Tool
• Widget Tool
• Block Selection Tool
