Bedrock Editor v0.4.0, also known as The Editor API Update, is an alpha release for the Bedrock Editor released on June 28, 2023, which adds support for Editor Extensions and access to the Editor Scripting API.^[1][2]

Additions

Editor API

• Released Editor API in the @minecraft/server-editor module.
• Released the ability to create TypeScript-based Editor Extensions.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where number slider thumbs in the tool panes were extending beyond the boundaries of the pane.
• Fixed a bug where clicking on the selected tool in the tool rail was not re-opening the closed tool pane.
• Fixed an issue where structure void, light, and barrier blocks were only visible when the player was holding them – now they’re always visible in the Editor.
• Fixed a bug that caused the player's body to not rotate in third-person view when the simulation is paused.
• Improved logging and moved operation chat notifications to the log panel.
• Fixed selection gizmo visibility when there is no active selection. Previously, when there was no selection volume, selection arrow gizmos were being rendered at the world origin (0,0,0).
• The selected theme will now be correctly applied to external links in the Help tab of the Quick Start panel.
• Removed the non-functional hamburger menu button from the Quick Panel tabs.
