API
Released @minecraft/server version 2.9.0
Added @minecraft/server version 2.10.0-beta

Moved Dimension.playSound returning a SoundInstance from beta to V1.11.0.
Released Block.getParts from beta to scripts version 2.9.0
Changed EntityFogComponent -> FogSettings, EntityFogComponentError -> FogSettingsError, and added fogSettings property to Player in @minecraft/server beta. FogSettings is functionally identical to EntityFogComponent but is no longer accessed via Entity.getComponent, use Player.fogSettings instead.
Fixed issue where Dimension.fillBlocks would not work when called with a block filter
Released class PlayerStartBreakingBlockAfterEvent from beta to v2.9.0
Released class PlayerStartBreakingBlockAfterEventSignal from beta to v2.9.0
Released class PlayerCancelBreakingBlockAfterEvent from beta to v2.9.0
Released class PlayerCancelBreakingBlockAfterEventSignal from beta to v2.9.0
Released interface PlayerBreakingBlockEventOptions from beta to v2.9.0
Renamed Dimension.findClosestBiome to Dimension.calculateClosestBiomeFromSeed and released from beta to scripts version 2.9.0
Released BiomeSearchOptions from beta to scripts version 2.9.0

Released LootItem.conditions in @minecraft/server v2.9.0 (moved from beta to stable)
Added image method onto CustomForm in @minecraft/server-ui to allow showing images on CustomForms.
Fixed Images in CustomForms not being centered in the form
Added ImageOptions.onClick and ImageOptions.tooltip which allow for a callback on click of an image and a tooltip on images, for use with CustomForm.image
Significantly improved block search speed when using BlockVolume for 'fillBlocks' API.
Blocks
Added "shelf" as an "item_display_transforms" offsets value inside geo.json
This is to give the offsets when placed inside a Shelf Block
Pre 1.26.40 blocks with a "fixed" value will have that value copied to "shelf"
New 1.26.40 blocks will be able to define "fixed" for Item Frame and "self" for Shelf Block
Block Components
Vanilla blocks defined with shapes in the shapes/ folder now use voxel-shape based culling without requiring the Voxel Shapes experiment. This will allow custom blocks using voxel-shapes to attempt to cull against any vanilla block with a voxel-shape
Vanilla fence blocks now expose per-direction connection block states (minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, minecraft:connection_west) reflecting which neighbors the fence connects to
In 1.26.40+ worlds, fence connection changes now send server-side block updates to adjacent blocks. Older worlds keep legacy behavior for compatibility.
Vanilla stair blocks now expose a minecraft:corner block state (none, inner_left, inner_right, outer_left, outer_right) reflecting the corner shape formed with adjacent stairs
For new worlds (base game version 1.26.40 and later), stair corner-state changes now trigger neighbor block updates for parity with Java Edition; existing worlds keep the prior client-only update behavior
Crafting
"minecraft:recipe_smithing_transform" now accepts items tagged with "minecraft:transform_materials" in its "addition" field
Commands
Allow using player name as target for commands (i.e. /tell) for non-operator players.
Allow self selection expansion when using commands (i.e. /tell) for non-operator players.
Fixed clone command cloning partial beds, both parts must be fully inside cloning volume
Fixed the /fill command from improperly placing blocks defined with the minecraft:multi_block trait
Dedicated Server
Fixed content-log-file-enabled option not creating log file when set to true (BDS-23033)
Added CLI options to run the dedicated server in pack optimization mode, allowing creators to optimize packs for testing and distribution inside and outside Marketplace.
Editor
Builds no longer crash or incorrectly copies data out of the Shared 'minecraftWorlds' folder for worlds (with behavior / resource packs enabled) upon exiting the Edit Project screen using the Back / Resume buttons
Fixed an issue where the mouse cursor preview volume vanishes after toggling Vibrant Visuals on/off
Added real-time chunk sync to the Biome Data Assignment Tool
The Vibrant Visuals generate resource pack button now exports any edited configurations to a resource pack with a folder link provided
Renamed "Brush Paint" to "Brush" in the Editor UI
Added glTF and GLB file format support to the Custom Mesh Tool.
The Dimensions dropdown menu now shows a checkmark next to the player's current dimension
Added Structures to the View menu
Added Keyboard Settings to the File menu
Added Biome Data Assignment to the World menu
Added Dimensions Panel to the Dimensions submenu in the World menu
Added a filterProfanity option to string property item so the editor's world export name field validates the input against a profanity filter, surfacing a warning modal and clearing the field when profanity is detected.
Fixed issue that leaves the instance in the layout after baking, instead of removing it.
Fixed a crash that occurred when removing structures from a layout template when a template was placed into the world
Updating a structure from clipboard now opens a confirmation dialog before overwriting, and the option is disabled when the clipboard has no content
Added pagination and selector menu support for tabs
Using mouse wheel scroll on tool rail, action bar items and floating window tabs will now toggle between pages
Added scrolling support for the menu bar and context submenus when they extend beyond the window size
Fixed the cursor indicator from hiding transparent and semi-transparent blocks (e.g., water, glass, ice) behind it, which also caused a missing block in the Paste Preview at the cursor position
Fixed a bug that caused gameplay hotbar to display in Editor tool mode
Added a "Scale By" axis selector and a "Change Mesh" button to the Custom Mesh Tool, letting you size the mesh along its longest, width, height, or depth axis and swap in a different mesh file without leaving the tool.
The Custom Mesh Tool now keeps the imported mesh loaded after placing or cancelling a placement, so you can place the same mesh multiple times without re-importing. The mesh and preview stay ready until you press Cancel while idle or change the mesh.
Updated introduction floating window to be resizable
Fixed a bug where deleting a world template locally and entering Edit World for that world caused potential data loss
Entity Components
Added a new require_collision_overlap boolean field to minecraft:pushable_by_entity's presets:
Determines whether the collision boxes of two entities must overlap for pushing to occur
For format versions 1.26.40 and higher, this field defaults to true
For format versions below 1.26.40, this field defaults to false
Renamed scale_previous_velocity to slowdown_scale
horizontal_power is no longer scaled by 0.4 internallySimilar values for horizontal_power and vertical_power now produce similar knockback on both axes
horizontal_hit_angle_scale
vertical_hit_angle_scale
vertical_position_angle_scale
relative_horizontal (default): Applies knockback along the horizontal direction from attacker to target
hit_direction: Applies knockback based on the hit direction and point of impact (for example, hits from below push upward, and hits on the left side push to the right)
Added a ceil_pre_critical_damage boolean field that rounds the projectile's damage up to the next integer before the critical hit multiplier is applied
power_multiplier is now applied regardless of the difficulty_randomization mode, so it can be used on its own to scale damage by the projectile's velocity
The resulting value is added to damage to define the projectile's base damage
Its default value changed from 2 to 0 so that prior content remains unchanged when neither field is specified
none: difficulty is ignored (default)
additive: a difficulty-driven term is added to the base damage (matches the previous behavior when semi_random_diff_damage was true)
multiplicative: a difficulty-driven term is added to power_multiplier before it scales by the projectile's velocity
When set, the entity cannot be targeted by a cursor hit-test while the picker's point of view lies inside the entity's collision box
no: the projectile never bounces (default)
if_invulnerable: the projectile bounces only when the target is invulnerable to the damage source (e.g. creative mode, shield blocking)
if_no_damage_dealt: the projectile bounces whenever no damage was dealt, regardless of the reason (invulnerability, damage sensor, invulnerability frames)
Content authored against earlier format versions is automatically upgraded when loaded in 1.26.40 or later: true becomes if_invulnerable and false becomes no
Features
Added content error when loading features with identifiers that already exist within the same behavior pack
General
Fixed invulnerability bypass when changing damage of entity hurt before event during lethal damage
Fixed invulnerability timer floating-point cycling issue for very small damage diffs
Graphical
Optimized FrameGraph topological sorting algorithm by replacing DFS-based approach with Kahn's algorithm for improved performance and clarity
Tightened the anti-x-ray trigger box to avoid false-positive cases when riding a mob
Fixed custom blocks rendering a stray solid face that could bleed through textures when a model face was hidden by setting one of its UV size dimensions to zero
Fixed texture bleeding on custom blocks using automatic block face UV assignment with undersized textures
The MERS textures for following baby mobs and Rabbits are now visible
Baby Humanoid Chainmail Armor
Baby Dolphin
Baby Fox
Baby Goat
Baby Hoglin
Baby Panda
Baby Warm Pig
Baby Zombie Piglin
Rabbits
Snifflet
Items
Fixed minecraft:shooter component not being able to shoot if no ammunition was defined
Items declared with a format_version of 1.26.30 or higher now require at least one entry under minecraft:item.components. Previously such items would silently fall back to legacy item parsing; they now fail to register with a content error.
Custom item definitions in resource packs now reliably override their Vanilla counterparts in two previously-broken cases:
A custom definition using an older format_version will now be applied on top of a Vanilla item that ships with format_version 1.16+ (previously the custom data was silently dropped). In Vanilla this only affects minecraft:apple and minecraft:breeze_rod.
A custom definition targeting a Vanilla item by its flattened identifier (e.g. minecraft:enchanted_golden_apple) now correctly applies even when Vanilla defines the item under its legacy identifier (e.g. minecraft:appleEnchanted). (MCPE-185730)
Item Components
Updated item schema validation so minecraft:item.components now requires at least one component entry for item documents in v1_26_30 and beta
JSON Schema
Updated the generated Minecraft JSON Schema files to use a more granular schema layout instead of producing one self-contained schema file per registered type. This reduces duplicated schema content and makes the generated schemas easier to consume with external tools.
Added binary-protocol metadata to generated SharedTypes JSON Schemas, including ordinal index, control value type, underlying type, and serialization options. This gives tools more information about the binary layout of the objects described by the JSON Schemas.
Networking
When connecting to a dedicated server, the client probes the server for NetherNet support with a 3 second timeout. WinHTTP does not honor this timeout in the following situation:
The client connects to the server by URL instead of IP.
The server hostname's DNS record contains multiple IP addresses.
The server is behind a firewall that drops the client's probe TCP packets instead of responding with an RST.
Particles
Particles using textures from the font folder no longer produces erroneous content log error (MCPE-238790)
Sounds
Fixed the destroy block sound position to be at the center of the block instead of at the corner (MCPE-60799)
User Interface
Refactor of ProfileSystem subscriptions for a speculative fix for profile fetches resulting in a crash due to stale reference
Small geometries using the "item_display_transforms" -> "gui" -> "fit_to_frame": false option will now be properly centered in format_version 1.21.130 and above (MCPE-234752)
Experimental Technical Updates
Add-Ons
Improved the experimental JSON document upgrader: configuration parsing errors are now surfaced through the upgrader's error logging, errors that abort an upgrade are recorded in the error log, and files found outside of a pack are ignored instead of failing the run
API
Added a new loot function CarryOverBlockEntityDataFunction with a single boolean field "dynamic_properties" behind beta
Added ItemBlockDynamicPropertiesComponent item component behind beta
It may be retrieved on an item that resulted from a carry_over_block_entity_data loot function
It has two methods, get and totalByteCount which work like their block component counterparts
it has a getInstrumentName function to get the assigned instrument given a valid facing Direction
it has a playInstrumentSound function to play the instrument sound assinged to a given valid facing Direction
the component can be obtained from any custom or vanilla block; if a block does not have the component explicitly defined, then a component with the default sounds will be returned
Added new beta interface SoundDefinitionMusicInfo with optional genres, moods, artist, and title properties describing the music content of a sound definition
Added new optional beta property SoundDefinition.musicInfo exposing the music metadata declared on a server sound definition
Added new optional beta property SoundDefinition.tags exposing the arbitrary tag metadata declared on a server sound definition
Added new optional beta properties on SoundDefinitionFilter for filtering by music metadata and tags: genres, moods, artists, titles, and tags. All comparisons are case-insensitive. An omitted field does not filter; a non-empty array matches when any provided value overlaps the definition's values
Added getShapes method on PrimitiveShapesManager.
Added interface PrimitiveShapeQueryOptions for use with getShapes.
Added AllowListEntry to @minecraft/server-admin with optional name and xuid properties in beta
AllowList changes in @minecraft/server-admin all in beta
Added entries: AllowListEntry[] property
Changed add() to accept either a Player or AllowListEntry and removed accepting string as parameter. Adds InvalidArgumentError to this function when AllowListEntry has both name and xuid properties set to undefined.
Changed remove() to accept either a Player or AllowListEntry and removed accepting string as parameter. Adds InvalidArgumentError to this function when AllowListEntry has both name and xuid properties set to undefined.
Changed contains() to accept either a Player or AllowListEntry and removed accepting string as parameter. Adds InvalidArgumentError to this function when AllowListEntry has both name and xuid properties set to undefined.
Added cloneBlocks method to beta that clones a region of blocks from one area of the dimension to another, with support for clone modes and an optional block filter
The playback position now reflects calls to SoundInstance.seekTo
While a sound is paused via SoundInstance.pause, the playback position no longer advances; SoundInstance.resume continues from where it was paused
Blocks
When applying a "minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation" value via console command, autocomplete suggestions will now correctly show numbers 0-15. Sixteen-way placement direction block trait now applies its rotation with the same orientation as existing Cardinal Direction and Facing Direction traits.
Added some trait restrictions for blocks with the minecraft:multi_block trait
Cannot also define the minecraft:connection trait
Cannot also define the minecraft:placement_position trait
If the minecraft:placement_direction is defined, only the minecraft:cardinal_direction state is allowed to be enabled
The component minecraft:geometry cannot define n_way_visual_rotation for multi-blocks
Cannot also define the minecraft:block_entity component
Storage structure was updated, your saved properties will be lost
Added occlusion voxel shapes for one-arm, two-arm, three-arm, four-arm, and full-arm wall connections. These shapes will be applied to all Wall variations when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled. These shapes improve face culling so that hidden faces of custom blocks are correctly removed when attached to different Wall geometries: single posts, wall runs, corners, T-junctions, intersections, and wall clusters
Fixing default behavior for close button bellow DDUI custom formsDefault visibility value is false
Editor
Removed and replaced uses of minecraft/server CompoundBlockVolume in the Experimental API with the beta minecraft/server-editor RelativeVolumeListBlockVolume
Items
Added a new loot function "carry_over_block_entity_data" with a single boolean field "dynamic_properties" defaulted to false
When looting a block with a block-entity and dynamic-properties, it will try to carry its dynamic-properties over to the created item-stack
Requires "Upcoming Creator Features Experiment"
Jigsaw Structures
A Jigsaw Structure's layout will now be persisted to disk if any intersecting chunks are saved. This makes partially saved Jigsaw Structures less prone to breaking because of configuration changes. The feature will be incrementally rolled out to online devices and Realms.
Sounds
Added a new minecraft:server_sound_definitions payload to sounds/sound_definitions.json that lets behavior packs declare server-side sound definitions for sounds played from script
Each definition can include an optional duration_info with a seconds length and a mode that controls how playback time is tracked
A mode of game_time means the duration is tracked by ticks
A mode of real_time means the duration is tracked by wall-clock time
Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a behavior pack containing a sounds/sound_definitions.json file with the minecraft:server_sound_definitions payload
Added minecaft:sound block component
it requires format version 1.26.20 and Experimental Upcoming Creator Features
it can be used to assign a set of sounds to block and its permutations similar to sound field in blocks.json
blocks.json overrides values of minecraft:sound component, including values in all permutations
