[languid tinsel]

Is the preview real if there is no thread?

[eternal shoal]

could you add control over shadow color to shadow config?

[white fractal]

does this mean that only marketplace worlds and texture packs are not compatible?

[rotund pivot]

Bedrock devs doing the most unasked for bug fixes /j

[eternal shoal]

also thats awesome that we will be able to change reflections :D

[rotund pivot]

acutally thats half joke and half serious, why did that need to be changed lol

[prisma steeple]

probably due to version locking or the toggle not being enabled on those worlds

[lethal idol]

Fr

[rotund pivot]

Oh also custom components v2

[eternal shoal]

Pack creators change it already by changing sky color but it would be amazing to have it as a official option in shadow config file

[wet shell]

Bro they’re still calling it dtp in the experimental changelog

💀

[white fractal]

were happy ghasts 1:1 copied from wolves?

[languid tinsel]

Oooh love to see more stable apis before 2.0.0!

[prisma steeple]

waiting on the scripting type dumps

[half depot]

Sweet. I have a few requests that would be cool to add to global files. Bloom (because per biome bloom mainly for the nether would be great), and emissive strength would be excellent

[fickle lark]

wait so its depricated in format version 1.21.80 and higher right, so if i keep my blocks at a certain format version will they break or no

[lethal idol]

New configs for shadows and reflections

[white fractal]

maybe "shared packs" toggle or texture packs not optimized for VV

[tropic trout]

Yeah, we need to break that habit now, eh? Long live Vibrant Visuals!

[quasi wedge]

this is how I know it's not real

it's not .23, url is .24, post title is .25

[torn pond]

3 in 1 preview.

[lethal idol]

Bruh

[agile matrix]

URL is outdated, title of the post is accurate. I was also confused 🙂

[hoary forge]

No post on the feedback site?

[wet shell]

This is our April fools preview

[elfin flower]

soo uhhh where's thread

[rotund pivot]

So instead of fixing numerous animation glitches plauging the game for years they decide to nerf sprinting in Bedrock. Thats kinda disappointing...

[half depot]

This update is quite huge

[languid tinsel]

I imagine it moved from .23 and .24 when the preview moved from Tuesday -> Wednesday -> Today

[fickle lark]

drop the link

[prisma steeple]

they likely won't break for a while, but you should update anyway. There's no reason to stay on the old custom component system

[torn pond]

preview isnt out yet so no thread :<

[prisma steeple]

update when it goes stable, I mean

They edited it 😱 leaks leaks leaks I still want to know what it means. Just codename?

[worthy gorge]

preview is out on iOS

[white fractal]

only on water

[lethal idol]

Btw, has the local exposure issue been fixed?

[rotund pivot]

Yes right

The 'bug' still made exloration more convenient.

[simple badger]

Preview out on Android

[simple steppe]

nice

[tropic trout]

Also in final testing. Fix incoming.

[rough path]

Well...now Im more confused.

[slender wren]

[celest sluice]

That was a bug? Dang.

[torn pond]

weird. not out for me yet :<

[prisma steeple]

[hazy mantle]

Is it out on PS4?

How does the parameters work on custom components

Rest in peace
renderdragon features for creators

[lethal idol]

what does this mean

[marble karma]

Like how is that going to be actually used

[wet shell]

What

[rough path]

Let's discuss in #1357384182514454579

[half depot]

Oh yea i see. So I assume this is how we use our resource packs with it

[wet shell]

Ahhhh

[rich vault]

What's the difference between changelogs on minecraft.net and feedback.minecraft.net and why do we need both?

[wet shell]

Little odd but okay

People will definitely think deferred and vv are two separate things now

[worthy gorge]

No

[wet shell]

😭

[half depot]

its still there

[rich vault]

And that both are somehow shaders

[half depot]

im on rn

not every changelog is on minecraft.net, that's it

[foggy isle]

OH MY CLOUDS

[simple badger]

No texture pack added

The clouds are different

i knew the default rp would use normals

[foggy isle]

looks really good

[elfin flower]

100fps what

[half depot]

holy crap this looks incredible

Aside from

the second toggle is related only to the JSON files or ot changes the behavior of 2.x.x apis as well?

[cerulean quarry]

Ohh my bad

i thought i was there

[fringe island]

no stable jigsaw

[white fractal]

not that jigsaw ui update?

[fringe island]

?

I'm very excited for jigsaw generation to be stabilized

[white fractal]

ah, that, i thought jigsaw ui

[fringe island]

No

I hope it will be stabilized in 1.21.80, I wanted to release an addon with this feature for this version without using experiments

[white fractal]

wait.

[past wharf]

they ruined old swimming

bruh java swimming is so cringe

who thought it was good at mojang ?

https://tenor.com/view/death-note-kira-anime-rush-fast-write-gif-8708162

[elfin flower]

ok people just already exploiting JSON-UI just to get the minecraft event cape is the funniest thing i ever seen

apparently they forced a mine level 2 unlocked via a pack, and somehow. lets you get in the level 2 mine even though you're not supposed to. there's like 0 check whatsoever

Also, the defenese minigame can be broken by too many people in the out of bound arena for some reason.

[quasi wedge]

thought people said the big hog guy drops diamonds too

but I ran around for a bit and couldn't find one

[elfin flower]

Probably got disabled after few days since it caused quite a chaos in day one.

This thing randomly spawns in randomly locations so you would literally die by 2-3 hits with leather armor.

you cannot outrun it either since it literally FAST

quite a tank too since it took me about 7 or 8 hits with maxed diamond sword to kill it.

[quasi wedge]

You played it long enough for a max diamond sword?

[elfin flower]

it's not that hard or long to grind

you get about 16,000~ emeralds per hour when grinding mining

which diamond sword costs 1500 upto around 3000 or 4000 emeralds, the enchantment costs about 5000 emeralds and it's only one time upgrade.

idk if it's intentional or not but you can only enchant your stuff once.

[simple steppe]

i got the cape with a stone sword and a iron axe i found

the only thing i bought is the iron picaxe

[elfin flower]

Apparently quest 6 isn't even day locked.

[simple steppe]

yeah

[elfin flower]

it even counts when you get diamonds for some reason even the quest isn't unlocked

so you basically can get the cape right now even the last quest is still locked, does not have any check whatsoever

[simple steppe]

the mines form is only looked behind the ui

i deleted the server form ui and entered it

[elfin flower]

yeah, I accidentally found out via modifying my internal UI stuff

apparently it's not even proper locked whatsoever

you just go there. no check too

[simple steppe]

yeah

[elfin flower]

i don't wanna do it yet or otherwise it'll be like golden cape all over again

I'll probably wait until the quest 6 is actually unlocked along with the mine itself

[simple steppe]

can it be accidentally unlocked?

sense you can technically get diamond in other way

even afk in the cave as raysworks showed

[elfin flower]

yeah you could via that piglins on the cave

they do spawn randomly

or maybe get them via mob spawners

never seen them on those before but might exist

[carmine kettle]

It has a check, it's just the wrong check :(

[simple steppe]

i think the actual check happen on the level 2 main entrance, you do need to return there

[simple steppe]

yikes

[elfin flower]

moment before a disaster.

[carmine kettle]

As far as I know, the cashout on levels 1 and 2 use the same code path

[elfin flower]

but yeah seems like you can't accidentally get the quest to count if that check exists.

it seems like it since i got diamonds at day one and nothing counted whatsoever

i assumed it's just locked quest stuff until not really at last quest

[simple steppe]

so level 1 entrance work for diamond check?

[carmine kettle]

Yeah. The "last quest" part is what's wrong, someone put a 5 instead of a 6 lol

[elfin flower]

well that explains those early cape

[carmine kettle]

Congrats to the early birds! You got an ugly cape two days earlier than most folks

[elfin flower]

idk if that piglins still spawn or not but that thing still pretty annoying even with diamond armor tbh

the entire chat is just death messages from that piglin

[carmine kettle]

Oh dang, Great Hog on a killing spree

[elfin flower]

i died to it like many time cuz it just teleported behind me

[torn pond]

They are quite rare, idk what determines their spawning tbh.

but yeah, they drop diamonds.

i got the cape using that.

[elfin flower]

Not rare but just stupidly random.

it can spawn anytime even if the player is already there

[torn pond]

Thankfully, i think it gives diamonds to all nearby players. I got the last set of diamonds i needed from one that died in some cave near me but i couldn't even see it

[elfin flower]

It's dropped as item I pretty sure.

[torn pond]

nope. It's put in your inventory.

like the ores

you can drop them as items and give them to other players which is what i did with my leftover diamonds

but like, if you kill a great hog with a bow, or are in a cave away from it, you still get the diamonds even if you never get close to it.

(the way i got the cape was: 2 great hog kills with sword, 1 with bow, and 1 where i never even saw it, someone killed it in a nearby cave)

[elfin flower]

it's probably detects who does the damage most or which player joined first.

either way literally everyones just die to it and i can get diamond from that way

[torn pond]

maybe? but that wouldn't explain that last one where i never even saw it.

I'd assume it's just "give diamonds to all players in x radius from the great hog when it dies"

[elfin flower]

I never get any diamond even I'm within it's radius with 3-4 diamond armored players attacking great hog tbh

[torn pond]

weird, idk then.

[elfin flower]

i managed to kill one when their AI just dead.

stuck on the wall for some reason

or just around lava pools since it can't get near you

[torn pond]

it is a bit too big for some areas

so it can get stuck

[elfin flower]

it also pretty much just a way to get people stuff too

you lead the great hog to player, they dies, inventory drops, profit.

also they kinda like your regular hostile mobs, so if you die to it and nobody near you, it'll just despawn.

[torn pond]

sad

[elfin flower]

though unfortunately it'll just respawn to other people after despawn or death.

which probably gonna be funny thing because this thing always spawn behind player

[toxic horizon]

ayy nice, I've got the new OreUI play screen

however, this happens when I go back

[white fractal]

definitely not ready

[tropic chasm]

To fix bugs, Bedrock players go to extreme lengths 🚩
One of the content creators for this edition made a pixel art showcasing a bug and traveled to the studio to deliver it to the developers. The bug causes items to increase in size as their resolution increases, and it has been present in the game for several years now.

I wonder if Jeb then summoned an attachable file lol

[white fractal]

[cerulean quarry]

Its technicly not a bug if the minecraft whats to have all pixels the same size

[white fractal]

then the happy ghast must be twice as huge already

[rough path]

Small you mean.

[cerulean quarry]

well yea there is inconsistancy bc where is point of 16x16 pixel shadows

[white fractal]

that huge items bug when using high quality textures*

[rough path]

The happy ghast is not pixel consistent.

Its pixels are larger than that of a normal pixel. So...smaller.

[white fractal]

32x ghast is weird

[cerulean quarry]

its not, the pixel size compared to other should be consistant

Today I watched the Minecraft movie, and well it was better than I expected, it's not the movie of the year, I honestly found the movie a little rushed, but I liked it, it's cool, and the translation of the items is very good, they used the Java translation a lot, anyway I liked it, I recommend it if you're not too demanding

[stoic orchid]

The Java and Bedrock teams are swapping notes as we look at how to extend Locator Bar capability for creators. Parity isn't a goal, but we're sill working here.

[undone crane]

vanilla parity gone 💔

[rough path]

Could y'all at least decide a consistent name for the gamerule. The creators aspect is totally understandable as you have stated numerous times in the past. But the gamerule name 💔

[stoic orchid]

write a bug and send it to me, I'll send it to the right person.

[rough path]

Time to log into the Bug Report for the first time since Migration.

[dawn fable]

I don't think changing the locator bar would be part of "vanilla gameplay"

[undone crane]

imagine if todays preview fixses piston memory leak

[rough path]

I actually might wait for today's Preview first tbh.

[fluid wadi]

Is it even possible to ban Cici? I fear they may have too much power

[hoary forge]

I mean Kayla would technically still be involved in adding it so

[ionic ocean]

It’s literally impossible right now. Maybe if you contacted Discord directly to reassign the server. Give it time, though. We’ll see…

[rough path]

If we all collectively pretend he doesn't exist in the server anymore.

Let’s all block Cici!

[limber tiger]

Does bedrock android has crash log?

[elfin flower]

I don't think bedrock has crashlog.

if they have, it's probably located somewhere on root directory which you can't really access it on your android phone unless you're rooted.

[edgy abyss]

G2A are scammers

[simple steppe]

never had any problems with them
or are you referring to the other part of the deal

Yes.

alr, i will keep that in mind

@edgy abyss same with kinguin and gamivo?

[charred geode]

I did this and Minecraft achievements got disabled as soon as i loaded the world

[rough path]

Looks like they patched it in .71

[charred geode]

i am on 1.21.70

brand new world, no cheat no experiments, it doesn't tell me that the addon will disable my achievements before i join but it does that

[dawn fable]

it should be metadata

[charred geode]

that's crazy

[rough path]

I love being blind.

But it's weird it tells you that it doesn't disable achievements.

[warm shale]

-# 71

[charred geode]

it tells me that m world might not look or behave the same, but i thought that's normal will all addons

[charred geode]

it worked, nice catch

[muted widget]

why have i only found out that we can use states in growing plant feature

[rough path]

Lol.

[muted widget]

i've just found out so many things about features, that previously would save me hours...

[sleek grail]

You can use them in pretty much every feature

[muted widget]

i might be wrong, but i think the last time i tested states in growing plant feature, it didn't work, and only allowed just blocks

again, i might be confusing it with something else i did previously

[nocturne sage]

Hey do we have any confirmation on what irl subspecies the temperature variants are based on?

The cold pig is a wooly pig and the cold cow is a highland cow but that's all i'm sure of

[tepid trout]

you mean how pig chanfecskin if they're on cold, warn muddy etc...?

[nocturne sage]

Yea

The textures are based on irl varieties

[tepid trout]

Ahh has biome tag filter and entity properties

[nocturne sage]

And for the love of mine i have no idea what the chickens are based on

The default one is based on a leghorn

[tepid trout]

That's what I don't know, but for pigs, chickens they have entity properties and uses has bioke tag filter for cold warn and temperature(?)

[nocturne sage]

I'm not asking how they work in code i'm questioning the visual design

[tepid trout]

Ohh mybad...

I'm damn stupid lol

[nocturne sage]

In code the biomes each have a cold, warm, or neither tag, and each of the 4 mobs has a on_spawn event to check it, and a coresponding component group to add

The 4 mobs being chicken, pig, cow, and adult frog

[fluid wadi]

They mentioned that the warm pig was based on a red river hog. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_river_hog

[nocturne sage]

Hm i see

[toxic horizon]

Ok, maybe I was too harsh on the locator bar https://youtu.be/ZeslGm9DLbQ

Good feature for adventure maps with the waypoints command

😔 It's not even that old.

[stoic orchid]

We can't make /place feature as a command stable enough to run in all the places. But your solution here is the placeFeature API. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/dimension?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental#placefeature

[rough path]

Is there any chance if the engine detects the command it outputs a feedback suggesting to use the Native method?

[stoic orchid]

that's a good sugestion!

[plush wedge]

Sounds like a great addition to this which already does that for a bunch of others

[dawn fable]

Since using runCommand doesn't work at all for place feature, I think it should be built-in

[prisma steeple]

would be nice to have it built-in as well though, since those commands do actually work, but this one doesn't at all

[stoic orchid]

I agree if we intentionally have commands that don't work in certain situations, we should be providing feedback.

[latent radish]

Any particular reason why they're only being marked now? A few old RTX bug reports got marked a WF recerntly too, like years old.

Got some emails about them

[stoic orchid]

probably part of cleaning up the new migrated database

[plush wedge]

Long story short these tickets were already resolved in the internal bug tracker and are just now reflecting this in the public tracker

So I cry when I realize my 6 year old bug report I've been holding out hope would some day get fixed and updating every preview was actually closed 5.9 years ago and has been completely ignored this whole time

Too bad I didn't also report "text cursor is the ugliest low contrast shade of neon green you've ever seen in your life"

[stoic orchid]

MCPE-179126 - I can no longer repro this on Windows.

MCPE-170849 - I agree with you this is a valid bug. When it was closed, we had different Parity goals. Where there are nearly identical commands with nearly identical functionality between Bedrock/Java - we should be syntactically at parity. This is at least how we should be designing new commands. It's tougher to prioritize fixing older commands at the expense of other feature work.

MCPE-114592 - I can still repro this issue. Raised this to folks who are looking holistically at stuff like this these days.

MCPE-161850 - I can still repro, but I agree that this isn't going to be prioritized to be fixed.

MCPE-31709 - Sent this to someone that is looking at stuff close to this to see if they want to improve. But I agree with the low priority that the bug got.

MCPE-31705 - There were debates on this one on how to handle in the context of accessibility systems. Folks landed on the perspective that the current design is preferred.

MCPE-185067 - This is accurately close as-designed. Our current /reload all is a workflow improvement that is a stop-gap while we continue to look at places where we can improve hot-reloading. Closing this bug doesn't mean we've stopped looking at all up workflow improvements.

Unfortunately, it isn't scalable for me to try to dig up all bugs, but hopefully this helps bring closure to some of these 🙂

[dusty shale]

would be nuts for someone to expect you to

[celest sluice]

I'd be considered. This is the sort of thing that should be happening internally

[plush wedge]

Not kayla making me feel bad again by taking my mean spirited venting seriously 😭 jk love u
Anyway my replies to replies
MCPE-179126 - I actually tested this just yesterday on the preview. You have to be a really fast typer but it does still make me type /ive and /coreboard maybe 50% of the time
MCPE-170849 - I was surprised because they changed the : to = citing parity in the changelog but there never was parity in this command (and still isn't)
MCPE-185067 - I get it but frankly it's crazy that world loading performance in general is this bad
Others - thank you, I get that many of these seem trivial/inconsequential but they really do matter to me, I wouldn't have taken the time to report them otherwise

[stoic orchid]

World loading - that's a broader issue than /reload all. And it's something folks are always looking at.

MCPE-179126 - ok yeah, I can repro, but BARELY. There's got to be less than a frame window. It's possible it's platform specific and if your PC is slower framerate, it could impact. Either way, I agree with the priority of the bug.

And I know all the bugs you report matter to you. I appreciate every bug you enter! They are all valid. We just can't fix everything, and sometimes we just don't agree. But that doesn't mean your bugs are invalid 🙂

When I worked QA at EA, hundreds of my bugs would get shipped with every title 🙂

[languid tinsel]

My dashboard of "can_ship" is often long on each project 🙂

[plush wedge]

I'm actually very patient, as long as the bug is open I will wait as long as it takes until it gets fixed, but "won't fix??" Like... EVER?!

I'm still coping that the sprint jump animation issue will get fixed in some years because they set it to "postponed" instead of WF

[stoic orchid]

part of this is also just maintaining hygiene in bug trackers. there's always two philosophies here:

1. Keep any bug around as long as possible as a record
2. Clean up the bugs so that only bugs of a high enough priority are kept, so that when teams do filtering, you save them time from not looking at bugs that are unlikely to be fixed.

With that said, I have no idea what the philosophy is for the Mojira folks 🙂 But based on what ya'll are posting today, it seems to be that they are trying to synchronize status between our internal bug tracker and Mojira.

[rough path]

😵‍💫 What if we just stopped updating the game? no more new bugs then.

[half depot]

true

[marble karma]

Any ideas for ways to display maps on custom blocks?

[ionic ocean]

I myself am iffy on reporting bugs. I had one that I raised on the private tracker that was valid and causes a painful amount of friction for people doing world-gen. It was — and I'm still adamant about this — incorrectly dismissed.

Since then, I haven't bothered reporting most bugs I come across in the add-ons engine.

[rough path]

This seems more of a general #add-ons question.

[ionic ocean]

Good on you for fighting the good fight, though, @plush wedge.

[marble karma]

Oke

[rough path]

I've only bothered reporting bugs that frankly makes no sense such as some item component's values being affected by two's complements.

[ionic ocean]

Mine was that grid distribution ranges in scatter interfaces (present in both feature rules and scatter features) are incorrectly projected to 0 most of the time. The simplest workaround for this bug is to make a whole new file.

Guess how often fixed grid distributions need to be used by people who know what they're doing in world-gen? All the damned time. 😦

God, I know so many. I think I could probably file 200 bug reports just relating to the add-ons engine… and that's just blocks, items, particles, and world-gen.

[rough path]

And you should

[ionic ocean]

I know. It's just hard. Writing good bug reports is quite time-consuming. The hardest part is trying to be convincing that the issue is important enough to fix.

For example, developer experience is almost always sacrificed in favor of getting new features in. Many of my reports and snippets of feedback to Mojang technically have workarounds, so they're usually ignored.

[stoic orchid]

I'd argue that a lot of the feature work we do is to provide more stable solutions than the workarounds used by the community. But the point is taken.

[rough path]

HCF moment.

[stoic orchid]

"backward compatibility" can also make "small quality of developer life" changes really really expensive.

But as always, we try to balance work. New stuff, improve stuff, stabilize stuff.

And I will say, Cici, your feedback has helped us take action in improving our platform in more ways than you probably know. ❤️

[hoary forge]

Cici for the win!

Re: Bug tracker—One I was a bit disappointed to see come back as Won't Fix was MCPE-128407: Selecting text does not highlight it. While I can live with it due to how I select text, it is a pretty major UX feature that is missing across nearly every UI in the game

I have a PC that was mid-range in 2020, and I can definitely feel the delay with opening the chat window.

[plush wedge]

Here's another WF I just got
MCPE-135265 Marker entities are exceedingly laggy to both client and server
Why are entities 30x laggier in the edition that's supposed to be performance optimized to run on phones?

[carmine kettle]

I think a large part of the cost in that demonstration came down to calculating collisions for entity pushing(?) but even in isolation, entities are on average laggier

[plush wedge]

Is that right? Do you need something other than empty components to disable that? I'd run a fairer test if I need to add components to remove behavior

[carmine kettle]

You could experiment with setting a smaller collision box and ensuring each entity is spaced far enough out. Past that ... not sure

Client might be helped with that one packet component whose name now eludes me

[plush wedge]

Oh here's another
MCPE-105278 Compressed structure files can't be loaded
How can anyone be expected to ship packs with uncompressed structure files? Those things are humongous and so so easy to compress. As is 5 large structures will blow you past the limit

[carmine kettle]

Structures can be compressed?

[plush wedge]

I guess the pack zip itself is supposed to take care of it? But still on disk that's so unnecessary

[carmine kettle]

Yeah, that is only relevant when sending data over a CDN or through whatever peer file sharing Bedrock uses

[plush wedge]

That's like if every image in a resource pack needed to be a raw bitmap instead of png

For practical reasons I'd love to know what an entity with no components defined does and how to make it not do those things if possible. My expectation is no components = no behavior

[heady sable]

It will float up iirc

Saw someone made a zombie with no compoments and it just got zoomed to the moon cause no gravity component 🤭

[plush wedge]

Yeah I do not understand why mobs without the health component take damage, mobs without physics component can move, mobs without collision box can still be hit, etc

[heady sable]

Kayla, you are doing great work by going after these bugs and give out some more explanation, thank you ❤️

[stoic orchid]

This one was triaged a long time ago as a pretty low impact fix. Curious what scenarios this impacts you in. I guess, without this fix, content that has lots of structures would be large on the player's device - wheras if you could store and load compressed structures, the content would be smaller for players? Do I have that right?

But content it stored on player's device in the compressed .mcworld and .mcaddon file format, so does this actually impact anything?

[stoic orchid]

Honestly, anything related to the old JSON UI I just hold my breath and wait for OreUI. All of these screens are going to get completely redone at some point in the next 100 years. And the OreUI text input component has this feature (as you can see in current OreUI screen). But, it's not a great excuse, I get that.

[willow harness]

So us getting to use the new ore ui is still a long way down the road

[stoic orchid]

less than 100 years!

[willow harness]

Hmm

[hoary forge]

Excited for OreUI?

[tropic chasm]

Like 99?

[dusty shale]

finally, a time frame

[stoic orchid]

Maximum hype

[willow harness]

Has this happen to anyone else where the json ui works on every single device except for mobile

[carmine kettle]

I believe I see this issue show up in the new Create New World screen too! But I need to double check

[fringe island]

I just want to understand why oreUi doesn't support "emojis" and colors in texts like json ui

[ionic ocean]

Well, if that's true, you've inspired me not to give up then. Prepare yourself.

Also, I had no idea you replied to me. Please ping or reply ping me, BAO peeps!

[torn pond]

Really curious about how just edible OreUI will be once it's done.

[plush wedge]

Yes that's right. Behavior packs are fully unpacked, so once the world is created, it will be large. I'm not sure to what extent this affects bandwidth or download times, but we want to keep packs compliant and small. It's tempting now to embed structures in the world instead despite the disadvantages of that

[ionic ocean]

We're definitely concerned about content limits in regards to structures — espcially now that jigsaws are right around the corner.

[dawn fable]

wait nvm, Ctrl + A still doesn't highlight

[obsidian lark]

Why do I even play this version smh
I ask myself that when I play both Java and Bedrock. I've been doing this for so long that I can see the limitations of both platforms. 😅

Want to make an animated model on Bedrock? Sure, that'll just be a few hours of your time.
Want to make an animated model on Java? Your entire week has been ruined.

And I'm sure you know how I feel about bitwise operations. I think you made your own recently. 😅

[rotund pivot]

Why

Is it so hard on java

[tepid trout]

If you want to animate in java, I used geckolib...

It's a mod, if datapacks wise you need to have a model then animate it like a keyframe in-game using invisible invulnerable armor stand or entity

[obsidian lark]

It just doesn't support it. You basically need to make a scoreboard timer and have it modify the NBT of a display entity at certain points in time. It's about as crude as it gets.
We're also limited to scoreboard math. If you need a trig function or bitwise operation, you need to make one.

Then there's the lack of bones, the rotation limits on the model format, etc. I can go on for ages about this. It's so bad and hasn't changed for like a decade.

There are tools like Animated Java that can generate "animations", but it just doesn't feel right. Mojang will change something randomly and your 100,000+ commands you generated will need to be fixed.

[tepid trout]

the thing I like in that is I can pause in which keyframe...

Where I think this scenario makes even more sense is dev workflows where you might want to share structure files between creators. Being able to just load compressed structures seems like it would be convenient.

True! I just remembered that in maps with multiple devs, we have this weird invented structure-based patch system to attempt to "merge" changes to the world that occur in separate branches.

MCPE-151953 /schedule fires before entities are fully loaded (WAI)
Okay then why did the changelog say otherwise? Seriously, how can I run a command on all entities in an area? Sounds straightforward, but if I can't even trust that half of them are loaded, what am I supposed to do? So many maps just assume chunks are loaded, and they're usually right, but I want to be more robust than that. Relogging at the wrong time should not softlock you.
MCPE-57207 Player motion not taken into account when throwing projectiles (WAI)
Not mapmaking related but another time bedrock just decides it wants its survival experience to be worse for some reason.
MCPE-153513 Geometry and animation Z axis is mirrored (WAI)
Very intuitive behavior that X and Y match the world, but Z is opposite! I'm sure this gotcha is diligently and prominently documented, right?
MCPE-59935 Block breaking has several frames delay (WF)
Not mapmaking related but wow bedrock just does not care at all about being ugly and unresponsive huh. I notice this in every marketing video that was recorded in bedrock.
MCPE-153514 Particles attached to locators invert worldspace (WF)
I love having to duplicate my particle files and carefully negating all the coordinates just because I want to spawn it at a locator, very cool!

preview day?

[idle summit]

Preview Tuesdays

[zenith aspen]

Hi rolling drcat

[charred ocean]

preview tuesdays

[rough path]

Bedrock once again proving why we should pay attention to it

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-25w16a

[idle summit]

Real

Java snapshot is pretty cool looking tbh

The amount of changes to shader stuffs makes me wonder if Java is gonna get something cool soon

[celest sluice]

Well they did say they are working on getting Vibrant Visuals on Java. I assume this work is to pave the way for a graphics overhaul

[idle summit]

Yeah probably

Didn’t know why they would apply changes to the spider shader and the invert shader

Makes me wonder if we could get the super secret shader stuffs back

[fringe island]

very interesting, but I believe this will not come to Bedrock today right

[foggy isle]

BANANA!!!!! 🍌

[idle summit]

I hope we get more world gen stuffs

[celest sluice]

From the sounds of it, no. We're in bug fixing territory

[limber ledge]

Bro they added this from the Movie

[foggy isle]

Wow

[celest sluice]

Now you can reliably carry mobs anywhere :D

[tropic chasm]

Really?

Please don’t fool me

Is that real?

[celest sluice]

It's real

[tropic chasm]

🥹

I have faith in survival once again

[foggy isle]

How?

Do we need 4 ropes for that?

[lethal pumice]

Preview when?🥺

[foggy isle]

TODAY!!

[tropic chasm]

Can you leash tnt minecarts

[fringe island]

maybe, I don't know, but since he's a mob maybe it works

[muted widget]

ohohohoho

https://tenor.com/view/bomber-german-germany-brasil-ww1-gif-18228460

[limber tiger]

i guess we gonna have to wait next for good stuff

[sleek grail]

Love it

Using a firework rocket when flying with leashed entities will now break the leash connections
Idk about this one though

[celest sluice]

I don't think so

[fringe island]

https://www.minecraft.net/pt-br/article/unleash-your-imagination

[half depot]

Goated feature

[fringe island]

Now I would like to know when we will be able to attach leashes to custom blocks.

[sleek grail]

I'd like a function to attach leads to mobs through scripts

[normal wolf]

When preview

[rough path]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.18.0/classes/EntityLeashableComponent.html#leashto

Already possible.

[willow sequoia]

New preview looks crazy

[normal wolf]

Where

[azure spade]

When Preview?

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great honour to announce that it might be preview day

When do Previews usually happen?

Previews starting from March 11, 2025 will try to release on a Tuesday: https://bsky.app/profile/jorax.bsky.social/post/3lk4lhrpmoc2p

Apr 15, 2025, 12:03 AM

[willow sequoia]

The snapshot I meant

[normal wolf]

Ok

[willow sequoia]

The lead stuff

[simple steppe]

Did the edit every vanilla model to add the anchors for the lead

[rotund pivot]

Is today the preview day or no?

[willow sequoia]

Allegedly

[sleek grail]

Last I'd used this it only worked with players

[rough path]

Well because it wasnt possible last time you used it.

[sleek grail]

Wandering traders

[heady sable]

1.21.80.28 out on iOS

[wet shell]

I was about to say that

[hasty grotto]

https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/35868117841933-Minecraft-Beta-Preview-1-21-80-28

no leash update this week

[rotund pivot]

Oh great

It seems as though 1.21.80 is gonna release with the swimming bug

Playing bedrock with controller is about to get really annoying

[hasty grotto]

#1361731327145021500

[stiff anvil]

Do polymeshes for blocks for Minecraft Bedorck work?

[prisma niche]

Oh cool. We can control the end flash in some way.

[rough path]

No.

[stiff anvil]

Is there an alternative? ?

[rough path]

No.

[stiff anvil]

Microsoft has talked about adding them? (for blocks) ?

[rough path]

No.

Is this the question that broke Mr. CyberAxe?

[rough path]

Yes.

[hasty grotto]

yuck

[torn pond]

i turned the new lead mechanics into an allay-based boat elevator :)

why is java redstone so annoying 3:

[fringe island]

next Preview 1.21.90.20?

[rough path]

Only one way to find out.

[hasty grotto]

genius!

[elfin flower]

so i guess we accidentally got a flying carrier on latest java preview

that makes happy ghast a literal flying balloon.

[torn pond]

Sadly, these interact weirdly with players

so, you can't have a player carried by a ghast boat

only mobs

hopefully they change that so players work the same way as mobs, when a player is in a boat that's carried by another entity.

[elfin flower]

yeah we'll have to see when this hit on bedrock.

[torn pond]

yeah

[elfin flower]

bedrock's player entity works even more weirdly

that might work

[torn pond]

well played, Mojang. Adding a feature i've been asking for (player-built bigger boats), in the goofiest way possible.

[elfin flower]

villager carrier made 200% easier

[torn pond]

i was hoping for block built boats, but like, fair enough, this technically does achieve a similar result .

and it is fun

[elfin flower]

i would honestly prefer that locked as gamerule tbh

[torn pond]

what?

block built ships?

[elfin flower]

No, the new leash thing.

[torn pond]

o

[elfin flower]

feels awfully unbalanced to me ngl

[torn pond]

i think it should be an option, but on by default.

its fun

encourages creativity

[elfin flower]

yeah, it should be as optional gamerule stuff

[torn pond]

like, you should be able to turn it off, but the way it is in the new snapshot imo is how it should be normally. It's not like you couldn't carry mobs with happy ghasts or whatever before, you just had to hold the leads yourself.

[thick wharf]

Anyone else noticed the bug where if you attack while running it cancels velocity? Has this been reported or fixed in previews?

[elfin flower]

you can carry about probably 20+ mobs on a single happy ghast.

insanely unbalanced to few category sometimes.

[torn pond]

yeah, but like, it's not like you couldn't do that before :<

you just held the leads yourself and got the same result

[elfin flower]

like wdym we can carry a entire 20+ boat chest on a single happy ghast

[torn pond]

big boat

At least happy ghasts are slow

[elfin flower]

also java with leash is honestly funky too

[tribal torrent]

woah janky pirate ships in minecraft now?

[elfin flower]

apparently iirc you can just carry mobs on a boat and fly them with elytra

they would not get unleashed.

i think them stacking up with the new leash might be uh, overpowered with elytra tbh

[rich vault]

From today's snapshot. Prepping java for VV? 👀

[torn pond]

At this point, i feel like the elytra is just irrelevant when it comes to balancing because there's nothing balanced about it :<

[elfin flower]

yeah considering the elytra is a endgame item, but that felt quite weird

[torn pond]

i still wish they never added the firework boost to it tbh. It's useful, yeah, but i prefer the other, more creative and limiting ways to boost yourself with it.

[elfin flower]

we don't have that kind of thing on bedrock, atleast yet

[celest sluice]

didn't the changelog say they'd get unleased when you rocket boost?

[torn pond]

i liked the elytra as a glider, and then having boosts with things like tridents and stuff.

[elfin flower]

I suppose.

[elfin flower]

As I like to use them, bedrock says no.

[random karma]

they NEED to make minecarts leashable

holy peak

[torn pond]

this boat buff is certainly very nice.

this new drop is actually a surprisingly good transportation update. Boat buffs, new flying mob. They just need to add in the experimental minecart features.

[tropic chasm]

good boats!

[marble karma]

When we get multi-box hitbox support

I wish we can also get the ability to tie a hitbox/selection box to a cube

[torn pond]

yet another use for the new leads

🚡

[tepid trout]

You gave me an addon idea lol...

[hasty grotto]

hoping they improve the bedrock leash too

like making it less prone to breaking like in java

[quasi wedge]

zipline!

[cloud moon]

new hotfix is causing my game to crash immediately when I try to load it up

[fickle lark]

fun fact if you still have a world with the Slate when they accidently added it in, its not an update info block, so i think eventually itll come back as an actual feature in coming updates (they did this with the NPC, border, deny and allow blocks before they were added officially)

since they fixed it

like why would they go out of there way to fix it just to remove it

if you also use a hacked client to get the rest of the variants, they also work

if yall want these in your world without hacks, use a structure block and import this structure, its a shulker with all 3 of the boards

[dusty shale]

lol

[ionic ocean]

Unfortunately, it looks like jigsaws are still quite broken. I'm 99% sure heightmap_projection isn't meant to exist now that start_height has been reworked.

[fringe island]

probably for this reason that you returned to the experimental?

[ionic ocean]

Maybe

There are probably more issues.

[fringe island]

Yea

It would be interesting if it were possible to apply molang in generation as well as feature_rule

[tribal walrus]

they probably had their functionality given when the edu items were added to the creative inventory

[fickle lark]

that was added before they were "mistakenly" added

[tribal walrus]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fringe island]

but I would still really like a stable jigsaw, I really love the fact that we can generate large structures and locate them

[ionic ocean]

Ah, okay, I see the intent with jigsaws. It's just… a bad developer experience again.

[simple steppe]

You can get it using script api

[red dove]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is anyone else experiencing this weird issue while playing CubeCraft's Pillar of Fortune minigame?

We play as a party on the same Wi-Fi (we're roommates), and though it’s rare, the game sometimes freezes for all of us-across Windows, Linux (Android). When it happens, the game freezes and doesn't close itself, causing high RAM usage, 100% SSD usage and constant swapping RAM (screenshot attached).

The whole Windows would freeze if you don't act quick (force kill Minecraft process), the game makes the swap size increased to 40GB or something...

I don’t have many screenshots, but It has occurred 4 times in both Linux and Window

also, the 99% ram usage is really weird. Maybe it was failing to swap properly and keeps retrying?
the strangest part was, task manager showed that minecraft wasn't using anywhere near that much memory - the RAM was being used by something else, but it didn't show up in task manager

kinda insane that Minecraft would have something to break both Linux and Window lol

also, we mostly face the issue when there is a vex attacking players...
idk why is that

[hoary forge]

oops pfft

[tepid trout]

Hey king..

[hoary forge]

hiya!

[hoary forge]

I love that sticker

[eternal shoal]

same

[cerulean quarry]

Vibrant Visuals

[eternal shoal]

Vibrant Pixels

huh, that name is not that bad

[elfin flower]

also i just realized that "fast graphic" is now "simple graphic"

disappointing.

[dawn fable]

I don't think it's ever been called "fast" on bedrock
It's called "sad" in the material files

[elfin flower]

well it doesn't even have "fast" since it's just a fancy graphic toggle.

[tribal torrent]

my prediction of the next game drop name

Ride Along

or Along the Ride

something like that

[white fractal]

ultra hd 8k super vibrant pixels

[limber ledge]

I hope they improve the Sun Angle or add a special setting for it

[austere mirage]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/creatorcamp?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[tropic chasm]

About the happy ghast

Don’t you guys think it is possible and also ideal for them to come more near the player when they have a snowball in their hand? Currently they go close to us kind of far away

[rich vault]

If they do, there should be a detection method, as a couple of add-ons and maps rely on vanilla sun position

[sleek grail]

Is it fixed? Or can you can calculate the vanilla sun position

[rich vault]

You can calculate angle from time of day

But if the sun is using orbital offset (rotated around world Y axis) then just a single sun angle won't be enough to calculate sun position in the sky

[dawn fable]

i'm not sure if having the sun at a different angle would look good with the blocky shadows

[sleek grail]

Is orbital offset a VV thing?

[lethal idol]

yes it is in VV

[celest sluice]

But it also affects the sun in default rendering

[rough path]

I recall a bug where turning off Deferred made the sun go back to normal position.

[rich vault]

It also used to apply to RTX, but they patched it :(

It was for a good reason tho, as it wasn't working exactly right. Unfortunate that I had to spent all that time fixing it in BetterRTX just for it to get removed in the next update

[rough path]

Can anyone else confirm the entity variant based sounds only works with Enum properties?

[rough path]

:\ also seems like you can only query one property at a time?

[charred ocean]

bedrock moments

[ionic ocean]

Has anyone observed that item display transforms of vanilla blocks changed in the last half-year? I swear my values were perfect… I just loaded things up for the first time in a while to find out there were indeed not.

[tropic chasm]

Yeah they did changed

[ionic ocean]

Was it in a changelog recently?

[tropic chasm]

I don't think it was mentioned

[ionic ocean]

Mmm.

I also think they fixed some crazy UV bugs with fences.

[tropic chasm]

If I recall correctly my blocks had a strange x & z change, minimal but there was

And they looked fine before

And it was just in rotation, translation and others was fine

[tropic chasm]

Really? Vanilla fences?

[ionic ocean]

Yeah, it had some UV mapping issues when adjacency changed.

The biggest pain point is the UV mapping issue on the down face of full blocks.

[ionic ocean]

Man, I need to keep up with the changelogs, I guess. The default x-rotation for third-person display transforms changed to 70 from 75.

[tropic chasm]

You can get stuck in a black screen error if you pause right after a /reload all

No buttons can be clicked

[simple steppe]

yeah, had that happen a lot of times

[tepid trout]

Did Navi mention anything not having "multi-params"

iirc he did.

I meant that for example in the mandatory parameters I have "test" it has 3 seperate mandatory/optional parameters, if I have "test2" instead it has 4 parameters

Unless I am just delusional

[torn pond]

Has the shulker always been smaller than a block?

[hasty grotto]

https://bsky.app/profile/dinnerbone.com/post/3lmziytg3qk2a not really for bedrock but still interesting

Nathan Adams (@dinnerbone.com)

I've started a _very unofficial_ discord server where some mojang developers and modders are discussing the rendering overhaul that Minecraft java edition is going through. It's free for all to read (though it's likely quite technical 😅), but only relevant modders can speak.

[random karma]

Even if there have been changes, they're still terrible

at least on stable

Was working with them recently and it's extraordinarily upsetting having the UV jump around depending on the connection bits

[ionic ocean]

It looked like the blocks I tested got fixed.

[random karma]

https://youtu.be/x63P2Os8LUI
:(

[heady sable]

We have this discord server 🤭

[ionic ocean]

Hmm, I'll double check.

I wonder how I missed that…

[random karma]

This was on .73 stable, haven't checked preview

[lethal idol]

Why do we no have something like this for bedrock

[hasty grotto]

the way bedrocks been built makes low level modding difficult

[lethal idol]

Yea that is true, but having direct feedback from many devs here will help and looking at how dinnerbone is showing how work is progressing is interesting to see.

Yes this server and the bedrock graphics server kinda does this but having a dedicated server will help in one way or an other

[heady sable]

The current way things happen is already good enough. Feedback gets delivered very quickly

Many bugs about deferred rending the Mali GPU were reported here and almost all are fixed. Would've gone unnoticed if it wasn't for the devs here

[lethal idol]

100% agree with that, like the devs working on this is just amazing, but that was just my opinion after I saw that Java VV server.

[rich vault]

That server was created to communicate with mod and shader developers and make sure Mojang doesn't permanently kill shaders again in another game edition

Bedrock shader and modding scene is too small for them to care sadly

And shaders are already cooked and has been for a long time so no point in making a server now

[elfin flower]

well probably make sense since there's no actual modloader for bedrock in the first place.

so there's not much people can do just to mess around with very limited shader

Also i do wonder when will we be getting optional renders between OpenGL or Vulkan on the phone

somehow an emulated version of java edition with vulkan somehow ran better than bedrock.

[hasty grotto]

and getting rid of symbols really didnt help with that

[hasty grotto]

pojav with zink or?

[charred ocean]

should be pojav

[elfin flower]

Only Vulkan.

There's a vulkan mod on java and does indeed work on PC or just pojav (with additional vulkan android library required). they basically just swap the entire pojav renderer into Vulkan instead, regardless which renderer you choose, it will be replaced by Vulkan completely.

It runs basically better than any renderer pojav provided.

Unfortunately, some mods that require additional stuff that vulkan does not have will not work.

All of this, only vulkan renderer. somehow makes a emulated java edition on a phone more playable than bedrock with more render distance, playable servers with like 50 players whereas bedrock just turning itself into a slideshow with that amount of players.

If a emulated version of the game runs better than native version of the game that is supposed to be more optimized than java-based game, that's pretty bad.

[past wharf]

Bedrock can't even handle spam clicks

I don't speak about the tp bug but the lag

[hasty grotto]

oh they get really mad if people mention android in their server

[ionic ocean]

Oh, my god. I just found this.

[elfin flower]

Yeah, same as sodium or any java performance mods. They found out that pojav has more people than regular people who play java on PC.

Obviously this also being linux issues too.

but they do work nonetheless. except vulkan mod.

as they swapped out the renderer entirely hence better performance, No translation layer like every pojav's renderer, just native renderer. phones that does not have atleast Vulkan 1.3 supported will not run.

probably likely why devs doesn't like android people.

it just one of those people who having low-end devices that does not support what devs required. hell this is also why PS2 emulator aka AetherSX2 went completely cancelled.

[shadow mason]

tbf there was, they just killed it off xD

but eh, in the end... Add-Ons are the better solution

[rough path]

It be so cool Mojang if you ported the Minecart Improvements experiment to Bedrock.

[carmine kettle]

Has that really been eight months already 😭 time flies

[white fractal]

and when redstone torch redesign

[rough path]

Right...but it makes more sense for the minecart since summer drop is transport based is what Im alluding to.

[dawn fable]

don't you love how the faces don't line up properly?
why would you ever want this torch model to be replaced?

[white fractal]

on java it's already changed

[rough path]

Quaz was being sarcastic/jokey.

[lethal idol]

Well speak of parity

[torn pond]

I wonder if they're actually still working on it in the background, or if they just abandoned it. It was generally very positively recieved, so it'd be weird to abandon it, but it hasn't recieved any updates in the snapshots i think? the default max speed is still the same old 8 (imo it should be at least 16, maybe higher)

[wintry lantern]

how should I enable VV? the toggle is unavailable for me

[foggy isle]

what device?

and what specs/model?

[wintry lantern]

rog strix g15 smth
ryzen 7 4000
rtx 3050 laptop

[foggy isle]

i see

it use igpu

[wintry lantern]

no it doesn't?

[foggy isle]

hmm

what about setting?

it should

[wintry lantern]

wdym

[foggy isle]

did you enable vibrant visuals?

[elfin flower]

You can probably try any deferred packs and "render dragon" experiment toggle first.

if that works, VV should also work.

[wintry lantern]

Third is VV, fourth is Ray tracing

[tribal walrus]

why can't we disable movement simulation in our own worlds?

:/

[heady sable]

It's an experiment in the World Settings. After you enable it there, join the world and open video settings to find "Vibrant Visuals" (or how it is called in your language)

[wintry lantern]

I have it enabled tho

[heady sable]

Can you send the debug text (at the top of the screen))?

[wintry lantern]

prizma deffered works for me btw

[heady sable]

You can enable deferred but not VV?

[wintry lantern]

kinda yeah

without a deffered RP i can't enable VV

[devout barn]

They currently have their hands full with drops and vibrant visuals, unfortunately I don't think we'll see more experiments or updates to experiments unless they're specifically planned for a drop sometime

[foggy isle]

that's mean you didn't activate vibrant visuals experiment

[wintry lantern]

oh wait

it's a separate experiment

i'm dumb

[torn pond]

i mean, the summer drop would be the perfect time to bring back those minecart experiments.

they're already improving transportation with happy ghasts and new lead mechanics, so they might as well also improve the minecarts and make it a full transportation drop.

(and the minecart experiments work really well with the new lead mechanics)

[devout barn]

True, we'll have to see

[heady sable]

Minecarts in Bedrock are so broken at this point, even any update will make them better

(In case you don't know, they can ride on rails normally but if they aren't on any rails or go off their rails everything gets weird)

[devout barn]

Coolest thing about minecarts on Bedrock at least is you can make them load chunks with just a behavior pack
