Fixes
From released versions before 1.21.120
- MCPE-105889 – Items cannot be transported to hotbar slots using their corresponding hotkeys.
- MCPE-155739 – A Drowned that picks up a Nautilus Shell drops weapons.
- MCPE-208089 – Vibrant Visuals: Being underwater in a cave is extremely bright.
- MCPE-222915 – Vibrant Visuals: Sky appears black on certain Android devices.
- MCPE-227714 – Copper golem statue names are not converted to and from items.
- MCPE-227741 – Pressing the windows key during gameplay causes the cursor to freeze up.
- MCPE-227893 – Parity issue: Copper trapdoor's recipe still outputs 2 items.
From the 1.21.120 development versions
- MCPE-227626 – Player models in inventory no longer follows cursor movement.
- MCPE-227830 – Buttons can no longer be immediately pressed while the game window is unfocused.
- MCPE-227920 – Preview GDK Build is missing a lot of
SupportedFileTypesfrom the UWP Build.
Other
- Fixed a bug with the biome blending system in Vibrant Visuals that caused non-surface biomes to be ignored.
- Fixed a bug where a sound played on certain screens after an invalid navigation with gamepad or keyboard even when Text To Speech was disabled.
- Fixed a crash occurring on mobs running the
minecraft:behavior.delayed_attackAI goal. - Fixed some scenarios where the additional context information for error messages was inaccurate after previously catching an exception.
- Fixed use of a default surface builder by some recent preview builds, biomes no longer require a surface builder. Surfaces in distant chunks now appear correctly when playing on Realms.
- Fixed an issue when inserting items into storage items through the UI. Previously the items inserted could result in gaps in the container stack when it was previously modified through the ItemInventoryComponent API. The storage container now sorts items to remove gaps prior to an item being inserted via the UI.
