Additions
General
- Added splash "Music made by Hyper Potions!".
Changes
Blocks
- Adding or removing redstone power to or from the shelf now emits vibrations.
- When a player places/removes/swaps an item on an unpowered shelf, a vibration of frequency 3 is emitted.
- When a player places/removes an item on a powered shelf, a vibration of frequency 3 is emitted.
- When a player swaps item with one on a powered shelf, a vibration of frequency 6 is emitted.
General
Camera
- The first person camera will now offset backwards slightly when facing and climbing blocks such as ladders and vines.
Graphical
- Added TAA upscaling to weather effects like snow.
- Improved quality of gamma correction on PC and Consoles.
- Mobs will now become slightly transparent when the camera gets too close or passes through them.
- Starting a world with a missing Marketplace template will now correctly redownload the template and start the world.
UI
- Brightness adjustment was renamed to gamma adjustment in Vibrant Visuals.
- A "Reset to Defaults" button was added to the gamma adjustment screen in Vibrant Visuals.
- The slider widget that controls the Vibrant Visuals gamma value shows the current gamma value, and the center of the slider corresponds to the default value.
Mobs
- The baby zombie riding a chicken now drops the lava chicken music disc when killed by a tamed wolf.
- Copper golem step and spin sounds now use a natural attenuation curve.
World generation
- Structures no longer build on top of features (e.g. trees) at chunk borders.
Technical
- Optionally set version property to
betato always choose the latest beta version of the module. Example frommanifest.json:
"dependencies": [

"module_name": "@minecraft/server",
"version": "beta"
}

Item Components
- Items with the new
minecraft:fire_resistantitem component no longer visually disappear on the client when thrown in fire while persisting on the server, as the property is now synced correctly across both.
- Added 31 new Molang expressions:
math.inverse_lerp(start, end, value), returns the normalized progress between start and end given value.math.ease_in_quad(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow and accelerating toward the end.math.ease_out_quad(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting fast and decelerating toward the end.math.ease_in_out_quad(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow, accelerating in the middle, then slowing again at the end.math.ease_in_cubic(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow and accelerating strongly toward the end.math.ease_out_cubic(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting fast and decelerating strongly toward the end.math.ease_in_out_cubic(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow, accelerating strongly in the middle, then slowing again at the end.math.ease_in_quart(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow and accelerating rapidly toward the end.math.ease_out_quart(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting fast and decelerating rapidly toward the end.math.ease_in_out_quart(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow, accelerating rapidly in the middle, then slowing again at the end.math.ease_in_quint(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow and accelerating sharply toward the end.math.ease_out_quint(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting fast and decelerating sharply toward the end.math.ease_in_out_quint(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow, accelerating sharply in the middle, then slowing again at the end.math.ease_in_sine(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow and accelerating smoothly toward the end.math.ease_out_sine(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting fast and decelerating smoothly toward the end.math.ease_in_out_sine(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting and ending slow, with smoother change in the middle.math.ease_in_expo(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow and accelerating very rapidly toward the end.math.ease_out_expo(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting fast and decelerating gradually toward the end.math.ease_in_out_expo(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting and ending slow, with very rapid change in the middle.math.ease_in_circ(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting slow and accelerating along a circular curve toward the end.math.ease_out_circ(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting fast and decelerating along a circular curve toward the end.math.ease_in_out_circ(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting and ending slow, with circular acceleration and deceleration in the middle.math.ease_in_bounce(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting with bounce oscillations and settling into the end.math.ease_out_bounce(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, approaching the end with bounce oscillations that diminish over time.math.ease_in_out_bounce(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting and ending with bounce oscillations, smoother in the middle.math.ease_in_back(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, overshooting backward before accelerating into the end.math.ease_out_back(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, overshooting past the end before settling into it.math.ease_in_out_back(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, overshooting at both start and end, with smoother change in the middle.math.ease_in_elastic(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, starting with elastic oscillations before accelerating into the end.math.ease_out_elastic(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, overshooting the end with elastic oscillations before settling.math.ease_in_out_elastic(start, end, 0_to_1), output goes from start to end via0_to_1, oscillating elastically at both start and end, with stable change in the middle.

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", "Upcoming Creator Features", and "Render Dragon Features for Creators" experimental toggles.
Additions
Technical
API
- Added

- Extended per-block local lighting information to include a
- Added
query.entity_biome_has_any_identifier,query.entity_biome_has_any_tags, andquery.entity_biome_has_all_tagsmolang query functions to Upcoming Creator Features.- These queries only work in resource packs (client-side), and are not supported in behavior packs.
entity_biome_has_any_identifier('namespace:biome_name')takes a list of biome identifiers and checks if any are the specified biome the entity is in.entity_biome_has_any_tags('my_tag_name')takes a list of biome tags and checks if the biome the entity is in matches any.entity_biome_has_all_tags('my_tag_name')takes a list of biome tags and checks if the biome the entity is in matches all.
