Bedrock Editor v0.7.4 is a minor alpha release for the Bedrock Editor released on October 9, 2024.^[1][2]

Changes

Brush tool

• Selection now has a freehand select that uses brushes to paint
• Updated general brush functionality:
  • Brush shapes are visualized as grey wireframes, and show only affected blocks in yellow
  • Cursor Control / Mouse Mode is now using a common control which is shared across extensions
  • Brush Selection, Masking and Brush Properties is now using a custom control which is shared across extensions
  • Brush Painting now visualizes only affected blocks
• Added support for brush shape offsets.

API

• Added addToggleGroup function to IPropertyPane API to create toggle groups with selectable icon buttons.
• Added an optional infoTooltip: TooltipInteractiveContent property to IRootPropertyPane API, displayed as an icon in the drawer header. Interactive tooltips remain active on hover and support links and paragraphs.
• Added serialize(obj) and deserialize(string) functions. These act like JSON.stringify/JSON.parse but will use custom serializers/deserializers registered with registerSerializationForType.
  • CompoundBlockVolume and BlockVolume are able to be serialized and deserialized with these functions.
• Added registerSerializationForType<T>(constructor, name, serializer, deserializer) which registers any type with custom serialization/deserialization for serialize and deserialize.
• Updated Block Masks to work when empty (always match).
• Added cancel property to endPainting().
• Added mouse button event data to the widget state change event so that server scripts can track mouse button events (press, release, drag) and the state of modifier keys (⇧ Shift, ctrl).
• Changed deleted fillColor and outlineColor in CursorProperties so that causes the Cursor colors to return back to the colors of those keys in the currently-selected theme.

Others

• Added a new settings screen in View > View Settings to configure certain view related settings (like invisible block visibility and chunk boundaries)
• Added control buttons next to the hotbar to switch the active palette and manage other palettes.
• Updated Selection Volume and Cursor colors to default to the colors of those keys in the currently-selected theme.
• Changed Client Widget X, Y, and Z arrows to always be the colors of those keys in the currently-selected theme.

Fixes

• Fixed issues with selection being cleared on tool focus change.
