Beta 1.21.120.21 (ChromeOS, Android) or Preview 1.21.120.21 (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox, PlayStation) is the second beta/Preview version for Bedrock Edition 1.21.120, released on September 9, 2025,[1] which redesigns the pause menu and fixes some bugs.
Changes
Blocks
Copper Lantern and Copper Torch
- Copper lantern and copper torch have new textures to make them easier to distinguish from regular lantern and torch.

General

- The pause menu has been updated with a new layout and design.
Technical
AI Goals
- Made the schemas for the
minecraft:behavior.dig,minecraft:behavior.drink_milk,minecraft:behavior.avoid_block, andminecraft:behavior.avoid_mob_typestricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity JSON that has invalid data in versions 1.21.120 and newer.
- Custom blocks with textures in the
variationsarray no longer require the Upcoming Creator Features experiment toggle to work properly. - The parameter
sampleWidthwas removed from the water configuration JSON file, and consequently the file has a new format and was upgraded to version 1.21.120.
GDK
- Minecraft Preview for Windows now runs on the latest GDK (Game Development Kit).
- This update aligns the game with the standard distribution model on Windows platforms.
- File paths have been updated and upon first install load of this version of Minecraft Preview, existing Minecraft worlds and content will shift to:
%APPDATA%\Minecraft Bedrock Preview. - Some players will still receive the UWP version of Minecraft Preview as this slowly rolls out for testing.
