A new Minecraft Preview and Beta update is here, more tweaks and changes to improve your gameplay experience! Please continue to send us your feedback and bug reports, they are much appreciated! Here’s an overview of what’s in the update:

Experimental Features

Recipe Unlocking

  • We tested having a notification that informed you about new ways of creating recipes you’ve already unlocked. It didn’t feel helpful. Do you know how many ways there are to make sticks?! Yeah, a lot. We are removing this version of the unlocking notification
  • Spectator mode is for spectating. Not unlocking recipes! With this fix recipes won’t unlock when you’re in spectator mode (MCPE-171073)
  • Unlocking a new recipe no longer sets the inventory toggle option to be “All”. The craftable toggle will now reliably stay the way you left it

Sneak and Crawl

  • Fixed an issue that caused players to automatically sneak while on ladders (MCPE-166569)
  • Fixed a bug that caused the player to get stuck at the top of a ladder when sneaking (MCPE-171022)
  • Crawling head rotation no longer follows camera rotation directly (MCPE-170838)
  • Fixed an issue where Swift Sneak did not increase Crawling speed (MCPE-170885)
  • Fixed an issue where legacy Crawling was not working correctly with the Sneak and Crawl toggle turned off
  • Fixed an issue where mobs did not have the correct collision box when spawning (MCPE-170983)
  • Short Sneaking has now been ‘de-experimentified’ and is available during normal gameplay
  • Crawling animation is no longer triggered while gliding below blocks (MCPE-170889)
  • Players can now be forced into sneak/crawl state while flying

Features and Bug Fixes

General

  • Fixed player capes not properly flapping when moving forward but looking sideways (fixed for real this time!) (MCPE-153446)
  • Reduce cases where players might see ‘Unable to connect’ errors due to ‘Expired Auth from Discovery’ (MCPE-170814)
  • Fixed issues with unresponsive or laggy input when using Mouse together with a Controller (MCPE-167447)

Mouse Input

  • Improved handling of simultaneous mouse clicks, triggering each individual associated action/response

Accessibility

  • Text-to-speech narrator will now say “Slash button” when hovering over the “/” button in the chat screen
  • Default chat duration now set to 10 seconds while default toast notification duration remains at 3 seconds
  • Text-to-speech Narrator now reads item names when selecting items in the hotbar

Actors

  • Fixed an issue where it was not possible to switch mounts without first manually dismounting (MCPE-170894)

Blocks

  • Pumpkin, Carved Pumpkin and Lit Pumpkin “minecraft:cardinal_direction” state string is now accepted during a world update
  • Mushrooms are now able to spawn on fallen tree trunks (MCPE-138333)

Gameplay

Chiseled Bookshelf

User Interface

Technical Updates

Dedicated Server

  • Fixed invalid entries in allowlist.json causing crash (BDS-18133)

Add-Ons and Script Engine

  • Actually fixed the bug that caused player capes to stop flapping when moving forward but looking sideways in the query.cape_flap_amount by switching the rotation used from the player’s looking rotation to the player’s body rotation (MCPE-153446)
  • Observer blocks use state “minecraft:facing_direction” instead of “facing_direction”. “minecraft:facing_direction” uses string values (“down”, “up”, “north”, “south”, “east”, “west”)

Entities
