Structure Block Import

  • Structure Blocks can now import structures from ‘.mcstructure’ files on Windows

General

  • Actor (Entity) Properties are no longer experimental (This includes Molang queries and property filters, but not Permutations)

New ‘/execute’ Command Syntax

  • Removed the Upcoming Creator Features requirement for the new execute command syntax
  • Version 1.19.50 is now required to run the new command syntax
  • Creators currently using the new execute command syntax in command blocks will have to go modify those command blocks in order to update those commands
  • Creators currently using the new execute command in behavior packs will need to change the min engine version to 1.19.50
  • The previous execute command syntax can still be used by using version 1.19.40 or less

Commands

  • Using the ‘/enchant’ command to apply the same level of enchantment no longer results in a higher level being applied.
  • Fixed an issue where hasItem wouldn’t correctly detect an item with a data value if hasItem wasn’t provided a data value.

Mobs

“input_ground_controlled” no longer implies increased auto step when controlled by player. The “variable_max_auto_step” component can be used instead. To have consistency with previous versions, use “base_value”: 1.0625 and “jump_prevented_value”: 0.5625

Networking

  • Added server property ‘enable-lan-visibility’ to disable the explicit LAN discovery by clients. This will prevent unexpected port conflicts when running multiple dedicated servers on a single host. Clarified port use in server logs and made error messaging more clear (BDS-1094)

AI Goals

Exposed new data parameters for the “minecraft:offer_flower” AI behaviour to specify such things as the time that the mob offers the flower for, the chance that the goal will start, and the dimensions of the AABB used to search for a mob to offer a flower to

  • The “minecraft:offer_flower” AI behavior can now be used by any mob, not just the Iron Golem
  • The “minecraft:offer_flower” AI behavior will now search through all mobs in the specified range rather than just the closest one, meaning that this goal has the potential to be used more consistently than before

Exposed new data parameters for the “minecraft:take_flower” AI behavior to specify such things as the conditions to be met to start the goal, the min and max wait times before taking the flower, and the dimensions of the AABB used to search for a mob to take a flower from

  • The “minecraft:take_flower” AI behavior can now be used by any mob, not just baby Villagers
