Features and Bug Fixes

Trial Spawner

  • Fixed some Trial Spawner texture inconsistencies (MCPE-181455)

Commands

  • Music will no longer be stopped by the ‘/stopsound’ command

Game Tips

  • Added a swim tip for touch devices
  • How to move is now taught to players on touch devices with the D-pad control scheme 

Sometimes it’s not a good time to learn new game play skills. For example, opening your inventory is not a relevant skill when you just discovered that the floor is lava. So here are some additional constraints for when game tips don’t show up:

  •  The swim game tip only shows up when you are in water
  • The break block tip is the most relevant tip when you’re freezing in powder snow. Other tips won’t show up
  • When there are hostile mobs nearby you can still learn skills that will help you run away (movement, jumping and camera movement) but other tips won’t bother you

Gameplay

  • Slabs and Stairs should no longer randomly start placing on the bottom when continuously building (MCPE-54855)

Mobs

  • The Bogged’s underwater melee attack no longer applies a Slowness effect to the victim (MCPE-178884)
  • Parrot now correctly imitates the Bogged when nearby
  • Witches now always drop 4-8 Redstone Dust on death
    • This is to improve the viability of farms that utilize Witch Huts to obtain Redstone Dust

Petrified Oak Slab

  • The Oak-Slab-looking variation of “stone_block_slab” (aux value 2) is now flattened into its own new block “minecraft:petrified_oak_slab” (MCPE-180964)
    • Will behave like other Stone Slabs, eg. cannot be destroyed by fire, but will look like an ordinary oak slab
    • “minecraft:petrified_oak_slab” can only be obtained and placed through commands
  • The Oak-Slab-looking variation of “double_stone_block_slab” (aux value 2) is now flattened into its own new block “minecraft:petrified_oak_double_slab” (MCPE-180964)

    • “minecraft:petrified_oak_double_slab” can only be placed through commands

User Interface

  • We have been testing our fixed dpad-tweaks in Preview for a few weeks and are looking for your feedback here: https://aka.ms/newdpadfeedback
  • When Regeneration effect is active, hearts on the HUD no longer move too fast (MCPE-180864) 
  • Shift-clicking inventory items no longer causes the item stack count to briefly appear above the stack
