[sweet jolt]

https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/12571216557709-Minecraft-Beta-Preview-1-19-70-20

[true stump]

happy preview day!

[final whale]

🍌

Yoo

[chilly tartan]

[bitter mortar]

Nice beta

[knotty cairn]

Huuuge beta

[true stump]

API changelog taking up most of the space lol

[bitter mortar]

But no block stuff so automatically bad

[obsidian breach]

sounds like a big change

[knotty cairn]

SLAB CROUCHING!

[obsidian breach]

was having a rolling eye when i read that, my brain just overloaded basically

[knotty cairn]

Bootleg air tag through scripts

[shut prairie]

Biggest API changelog ever

lol

[bitter mortar]

Shouldn't have to use scripting to overcome shortcomings

[sudden scroll]

Holy shit

Kayla, your excel was right

[true stump]

It's not a shortcoming if scripting gives you the functionality

scripting is the future of the platform!

[inner anchor]

wow

[obtuse quail]

speaking of player sneaking, does it replicate the java sneaking animation (where there is some sort of transition)

[bitter mortar]

Oops I forgot it's not gametest anymore. My mistake

[chilly tartan]

crazy, now i’m thinking abt passageways

[inner anchor]

that name will live on in our hearts

[gloomy ice]

oh my gosh we can almost crawl

[final whale]

Finally

[upper flume]

Yooo

[chilly tartan]

i dream of the day when java trapdoor crawling parity is here

[final whale]

Me too

[sudden scroll]

Best bugfix ever!!!! 🥳

[gloomy ice]

I'm confused, why is it going straight to 1.19.70.20?

[obtuse quail]

GameTest Framework is still in the game via server-gametest

[shut prairie]

Maybe 1.19.70 will be the "movement parity" update, starting with this sneaking parity!

[chilly tartan]

ragdoll physics when

[true stump]

as opposed to?

[gloomy ice]

just 1.19.70.0

[knotty cairn]

Big change is the transition to vector3 in scripts

[gloomy ice]

has it always been like that?

[obtuse quail]

@bitter mortar your air tag is in scripting api instead of blocks json

[obsidian breach]

i mean, that's a good question 🤔

[sudden scroll]

Kayla made sure that was the case, so sneaky /s

[obsidian breach]

before this, we did start from 1.xx.xx.1

[true stump]

yeah I think most previews start at .20

[obsidian breach]

and then we moved the goal post to 1.xx.xx.50 and then here at 1.xx.xx.20

[knotty cairn]

Internal dev builds!? 😳

[chilly tartan]

@true stump when is the banner map parity coming out

[sudden scroll]

Yes they exist

[gloomy ice]

oh, you're right

[obsidian breach]

nope, the 1.xx.xx.1 to 1.xx.xx.19 are reserved for full release

[gloomy ice]

Are we skipping a 1.19.60 stable release then?

[obsidian breach]

nope, it just means the dev cycle on that is done

[knotty cairn]

No please god no

[upper flume]

19.60 is probably soon then

[obsidian breach]

also wouldn't it be suck to skip a version but arghhh

[chilly tartan]

1.20 The Unstable Update!

[gloomy ice]

yeah it would since we haven't had a stable release in almost 2 months

[obsidian breach]

I mean, 2 months is still a very frequent pace of updates, much faster than what Java is currently doing atm

[sudden scroll]

Remember: there were holidays in between

[gloomy ice]

OH GOODIE!

[knotty cairn]

I need scoreboard scripts

[obsidian breach]

So, I think having 2-3 months is like the bare minimum of frequent updates here

[upper flume]

Cool

[gloomy ice]

Now I can see what's going on, because atm if the witch has weakness, poison, and slowness on it and starts getting hit with harming potions

it chugs healing potions 24/7

and is extremely hard to kill

[chilly tartan]

is the script calling in function commands available yet?

[glacial nymph]

NICE GAMETEST UPDATE

[knotty cairn]

.60

[shut prairie]

SCRIPT API*

[chilly tartan]

still in preview huh

[knotty cairn]

[chilly tartan]

[knotty cairn]

Ye

[chilly tartan]

witches are ez

[gloomy ice]

guess gravel is learning scripting now

[chilly tartan]

guess i will have to as well

[knotty cairn]

One of us. One of us. One of us.

[inner anchor]

Close enough to air tags

[chilly tartan]

im guessing we won’t get a stable release for another month or two so i can actually use it

[knotty cairn]

☹️

[chilly tartan]

boooo

i want function files to let me use scripts just for stupid custom messages

aesthetics are all i want!

[knotty cairn]

Trigger entity events and pass them to scripts

[true stump]

Holidays, my dude 🙂

[obsidian breach]

Also, January is pretty much silent/calm month so...

[knotty cairn]

Would mojang push .60 release if I told them I wanted it really really badly?

[obsidian breach]

No, while you might think it is done

[knotty cairn]

I need

[obsidian breach]

It actually still has some stuff that needs to be fixed that haven't been pushed into the beta in time

[gloomy ice]

well, it just puts me into a weird state

[obsidian breach]

Like the JSON file that is placed in the incorrect folder, that was just fixed in today's beta new cycle

[gloomy ice]

Because now there's a lot of scritping stuff I need to update to 1.19.70, but but there's also a lot of things I need to fix in 1.19.60 and get ready to release

[knotty cairn]

Yeah

[gloomy ice]

but I won't be able to test things properly

[knotty cairn]

Breaking changes in .70, but great features in .60

[gloomy ice]

can I prevent my preview from updating

[knotty cairn]

Can’t wait for all the beginner scripters to cry out for help once .70 breaks everything

[chilly tartan]

wut

[obsidian breach]

their mistakes relying on stuff that is very experimental

[sudden scroll]

It's experimental for a reason, anything could change

For example when the Molang experimental queries were changed

[gloomy ice]

I don't think I'd get very far in anything if I had to rely on stable stuff

[final whale]

It broke nothing for me because i’m already rewriting my own API that was create like almost a year ago

[shut prairie]

Now that we read the changelog, it's time to check if there are any secret RenderDragon and OreUI changes 😄

[final whale]

I’m on it

[shut prairie]

Okay

[chilly tartan]

we have the professional scouting for us

[obsidian breach]

It's not out for me on any of my platform wth

[high fractal]

Yeah previews always start at 1.x.x.20

[high fractal]

That's mostly because 2/3 out of 4 weeks in December was a studio break for the holidays

[gloomy ice]

Is there a way to prevent the Minecraft Launcher from updating preview to 1.19.70.20

[high fractal]

Dammit I should have scrolled some more 😂

[chilly tartan]

skill issue smh

do we get special crouch feature now or just Java?

[obsidian breach]

🤷

[high fractal]

I really don't understand people using experimental features which are inherently subject to change being upset when something breaks because it changes. 🤷‍♂️

[sudden scroll]

Me neither

[chilly tartan]

because we can and will and nobody can stop us

[upper flume]

Yeah, like it's annoying but you should learn to expect it

I've never been able to test preview cos I only have Minecraft IOS lol

[high fractal]

Why not join flighting?

[final whale]

TestFlight

[chilly tartan]

flighting💀

[upper flume]

It's always full for me

[chilly tartan]

skill issue

[upper flume]

😔

[sly meteor]

Inventory component for more blocks and entityDie event goo!

[obsidian breach]

that was a long wait

[high fractal]

Do you keep an eye out on Josh's Twitter for when he tweets some people who were inactive for kicked?

[upper flume]

Who is josh bruh 💀

I do not

[final whale]

I do

[obsidian breach]

https://twitter.com/JORAX79

[high fractal]

He's one of the release managers 😄 he manages the TestFlight program I believe

[upper flume]

Yo thanks

[chilly tartan]

ew twitter

[obsidian breach]

imagine not knowing josh 💀

[high fractal]

https://twitter.com/JORAX79/status/1610332431554588672?t=XWpWNsZxM2i-z-Ja-EA8fg&s=19
So he'll tweet when inactive members of the TestFlight get removed

Josh Mulanax (@JORAX79)

Happy New Year! We're a tad late due to the holidays but have opened 1327 slots for the iOS version of Minecraft Preview - to join head over to https://t.co/GgjIiQYb9C. As a reminder you can find Preview info at https://t.co/PrYLjaDoBb.

Twitter · Jan 3, 2023, 5:49 PM

Smh apple limited TestFlight size

[final whale]

Also why does it always take a long time for me to appear on the Microsoft Store?

[upper flume]

Bruh you can't just say a basic name like josh and expect me to know I'm sorry

🗿

[final whale]

It’s still not out for me

[inner anchor]

Yeah

[obsidian breach]

issa joke lol

[upper flume]

I will keep my eyes peeled 💦 for josh

[high fractal]

Yeah my bad I should have said more than just Josh @upper flume 😄 sorry!

[upper flume]

Ikik

[bitter mortar]

That's real josh

[upper flume]

Nah ur fine

[high fractal]

I still need to buy a new iPhone at work so I can get into TestFlight because ours can't get iOS 13 which you need now (very old iPhone)

[shut prairie]

ah wait

they finally fixed that bug?

It was very boring

[inner anchor]

I thought that was a feature

[shut prairie]

oh no pls 😄

It was so bad

I prefer the Java one

[obsidian breach]

yeah, being on windowed mode having that bug fixed was a plus

[chilly tartan]

14 Pro Max purple

get the goofy notch

[obsidian breach]

yeah this bug was mentioned, i get that

[bitter mortar]

"Very old iPhone" so last year?

[upper flume]

Pretty skin 😮

[high fractal]

It might be an iPhone 6 😂

[final whale]

Did they fix this bug where the camera is inside the block?

[obsidian breach]

just a slight camera issue

[knotty cairn]

I don’t mind the changes

[bitter mortar]

Really lol. I can see that being pretty fast.

[final whale]

Also cool they added a transition when crouching just like Java

[final whale]

How about first person?

[gloomy ice]

Someone wake up mammerla please 🥺

[obsidian breach]

yeah its really smooth wth

[gloomy ice]

woah

[upper flume]

I Hope we get crawling next

[bitter mortar]

How does it test when your sneaking in player.json

[upper flume]

Like with trapdoors an shit that would be elite

[gloomy ice]

query.is_sneaking

duh

[final whale]

Thanks

[bitter mortar]

Really? Thought they would use environmental sensor.

[upper flume]

Ok this feels kinda cursed tho considering bedrock doesn't have changeable cameras really so it looks very strange to me

[gloomy ice]

oh idk

[bitter mortar]

Anyone got file?

[obsidian breach]

no crawling yet

[final whale]

It’s updating, i will send you the file when it’s done

[bitter mortar]

Thank

[gloomy ice]

hopefully that's next

[obsidian breach]

rip

[upper flume]

One day

[upper flume]

Probably my biggest wish for bedrock Addons would be like customisable camera heights and stuff, or Atleast having it scale with the player size if changed

[obsidian breach]

addition to the horse.json

            "extra_variant": 0.2, // 1/5
            "variant": 0.111 // ~1/9
          },
          "mutation_strategy": "random",
          "random_variant_mutation_interval": [0, 7],
          "random_extra_variant_mutation_interval": [0, 5]```

[upper flume]

Oh?

What's different

[obsidian breach]

Breeding horses can now produce random variants

[final whale]

You want the player.json right?

[upper flume]

Kewl

[gloomy ice]

interesting

[final whale]

If yes it haven’t been modified

[obsidian breach]

Ooooh End Crystal has a proper collision/hitbox now

[chilly tartan]

i went from a 7+ to a 13 and it’s amazing, it really is worth the upgrade, especially if you use your phone a lot like me

[gloomy ice]

players taking fall damage when riding a camel? I haven't played survival in a while, but didn't they change it to where horses didn't cause fall damage?

[chilly tartan]

reading minecraft bugs are like describing a fever dream

[bitter mortar]

Ye

[final whale]

^

[obsidian breach]

they changed the minecraft:camera_sneak_offset at least on camera json

[gloomy ice]

I'd think that would be hardcoded

[bitter mortar]

Really? So hit box adjustment hardcoded?

[gloomy ice]

I mean, you can set it up yourself

[bitter mortar]

Oh

[gloomy ice]

Use an actor property permutation checking for query.is_sneaking to modify hitbox

[candid crown]

YOO

They added death events

Let's gooooooo

[chilly tartan]

the bug catcher appears

[bitter mortar]

Or just environment sensor with filters

[obsidian breach]

they split the wool now?

[chilly tartan]

YES

please tell me this works for concrete too

i hate having to look up ID’s

[obsidian breach]

nope, just wool for now :/

[chilly tartan]

dam

[knotty cairn]

Epic beta

[glacial nymph]

Really? Best beta so far

[obsidian breach]

fr

you can take a look at terrain_texture.json and blocks.json changes

[upper flume]

What's camera.json

[chilly tartan]

wait-

[shut prairie]

THE FLATTENING OH YEAH

[chilly tartan]

camera controls when?

[shut prairie]

FINALLY

[upper flume]

Frfr

I think it's education camera tho

[obsidian breach]

not the json, the camera folder contains 3 json, with each respective persepctive such as first person, third and third front person

[upper flume]

Cool

[obsidian breach]

this one

[upper flume]

Adjustable camera will be possible one day I hope

[chilly tartan]

can you edit?

[glacial nymph]

*I forgot the Android update is delayed 😔 *

[obsidian breach]

not sure, it's trial and error for ya...

[chilly tartan]

no, i have no idea what i’m doing

being able to switch between first and third person and editing third person would make a really cool shooting game

[final whale]

Wdym? Json is easy except JsonUI

[chilly tartan]

u do it then

see if you can edit pos of camera

[rotund saddle]

Piglin Head Blocks rendered in the hotbar or inventory no longer have the ear overlapping the rest of the head (MCPE-164605) https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-164605

Addressing the symptom and not the problem :/ https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-123305

[little ermine]

minecraft:item_storage New UI?

[vague trout]

ok

[upper flume]

Yo

[chilly tartan]

Piglins can now experience COVID like symptoms and can quarantine in bastions, avoiding players and other Piglins, this also decreases their speed, attack and defense

huh

[upper flume]

I guess that kind of confirms bundles would be in 1.20 or smthn

[upper flume]

Why is this phrased like a Pokémon status move description

[chilly tartan]

mojang wildin’

[glacial nymph]

Player’s hitbox height now reduces to 1.5 blocks while sneaking
So we can sneak under slab? Can someone test it?

[rotund saddle]

I wasn't intending that to be a joke. I was referring to that it seems instead of fixing the underlying issue, block rendering for any geo more complex than a few cubes being broken, they just moved the elements for the piglin head around instead of addressing that rendering should not work differently in the inventory vs in world.

[chilly tartan]

i wasn’t responding to your comment but i agree

[glacial nymph]

Nice, another parity

[obsidian breach]

yes you can 👍

[gloomy ice]

oh! sweet

They used the shooter component for the witch

uhh..

wait a second what is this

[true stump]

that was in 1.19.60 wasn't it?

[gloomy ice]

nop

But There's something else here that's not in the changelogs

[true stump]

neverminde thinking of the previous shooter component changes.

[gloomy ice]

"all_of" : [
                { "test" : "actor_health", "subject" : "other", "value" : 8, "operator" : ">="},
                {
                  "none_of": [
                    { "test": "has_mob_effect", "subject": "other", "value": "poison" }
                  ]
                }
              ]```

"actor_health"

is not a current filter

is that new?

[fast carbon]

Thanks now I gotta update my documentation.

[gloomy ice]

I think I would have known about health detection in an environment sensor if it existed already, this is the first time I've seen it

[chilly tartan]

@gloomy ice you are really excited about that witch fix

[gloomy ice]

well, I was because I had done some testing with how the witch uses potions

and now there's just a brand new filter for health detection just randomly hidden in it

[chilly tartan]

did you see the camera files?

[gloomy ice]

don't care too much about the camera

[chilly tartan]

sad

[gloomy ice]

trying to find when the "actor_health" filter was added

ahh

it was snuck in at the start of 1.19.60.20

[final whale]

Ok

[gloomy ice]

guess I never saw these

[knotty cairn]

Interesting

[chilly tartan]

are actors NPC’s

[gloomy ice]

actors are entities

the player is also an actor

[fast carbon]

But not all actors are NPCs

[chilly tartan]

[knotty cairn]

They could probably hold their own in a movie

[quasi tusk]

I’m just happy they fixed behavior packs, and now you can unapply them on your world.

[gloomy ice]

Is that why my stupid pack wouldn't get removed from my world?

[knotty cairn]

If it has scripts it says it contains plugins

[gloomy ice]

Absolutely brain boggling

[quasi tusk]

Ya I thought that was actually a good idea as if the world corrupts the pack won’t deapply ever. But eh

[quasi tusk]

Holy

[knotty cairn]

Hah

[chilly tartan]

YOU CAN!

[quasi tusk]

Rip all custome skins

[chilly tartan]

can you animate the pos

please tell me you can

a simple Json script make the camera move to the right indefinitely

[obsidian breach]

whyyy

[gloomy ice]

Why are you trying to sleep in the ground

[obsidian breach]

it is possible on java and it's not even on crawl mode

[rotund saddle]

I wonder if armor trimmings will force attachables to have support for overlay color via render controller... it seems they could implement them without it, but then it would not have as much customization as java does with the pallet system. Or they I guess could do something inaccessible like they currently have for leather attachables, but that would be unfortunate.

[chilly tartan]

this begs the question of if you can now make more camera pos than just the 3 we have

[obsidian breach]

because why not, it is possible on java

[quasi tusk]

You can

[chilly tartan]

this is amazing

[gloomy ice]

time to figure out if you can communicate to the client to change camera position when changing a players scale

[chilly tartan]

so this means we can set custom points for player camera, if we can get it to move we effectively can make cutscenes

[gloomy ice]

true miniaturization of players

[quasi tusk]

All my custom skins like SpongeBob are broken tho

[gloomy ice]

guess you'll need to

exsponge them

[quasi tusk]

[rotund saddle]

Poly mesh my beloved

[chilly tartan]

@final whale does this mean we can also switch camera position automatically

[final whale]

setting the offset in minecraft:camera_sneak_offset to 0 will make the camera stay in the same position when crouching

[final whale]

i actually don't know

[vague trout]

🤙

[chilly tartan]

being able to use scripts for this stuff would be amazing, imagine the possibilities

[candid crown]

Wow what

How do you get those in-game

[chilly tartan]

imagine entire camera scenes, completely animated along paths

[final whale]

the posibilities would be endless

[chilly tartan]

i would make a cutscene for literally everything

[knotty cairn]

Minecraft dungeons but in minecraft

[chilly tartan]

this would be amazing for entities as well, imagine mounting a boat and the camera swings out to allow you to see yourself and the boat, windwaker style

[final whale]

inverting the offset of minecraft:camera_sneak_offset makes your camera go up when you crouch

[knotty cairn]

Are those files available in a behaviour pack? Or just the game files?

[final whale]

the game files

[quasi tusk]

Finally

[knotty cairn]

Alright

[final whale]

in the cameras folder inside vanilla resource pack

[chilly tartan]

can you pretty please check to see about moving cameras?

[final whale]

this is the first person file

[chilly tartan]

blend?

if that means the time to switch from first to third person on a linear scale then that means we could just place the second camera pos where we want our camera to end and then our blend time will be slow

of course this is all useless if you can’t switch the players camera to anything

[final whale]

the quality isn't the best because of Xbox Gamebar

[chilly tartan]

okay that clipping is just, weird

is there a way to cut back on it?

i think it’s cool we can rotate though

[final whale]

i don't think there is

[chilly tartan]

that’s so weird, do you know what is causing the clipping?

[final whale]

nope

[chilly tartan]

hmmm

try like a verticals transition

go up from first person to high above the players head in a direct linear line, and see if it clips

eventually i’d love to be able to switch a players camera to an entity bone and just animate the invisible bone in blockbench, allowing things like bézier curves and such

[quasi tusk]

This video is so cursed

[chilly tartan]

no it’s exciting

[quasi tusk]

But new possibilities for horror maps

[chilly tartan]

@high fractal what are you thinking abt the camera changes?

[final whale]

Can any of the mods pin this?

[chilly tartan]

@knotty cairn can pin it

[knotty cairn]

I forgor I could

Was like, “dang I wish somebody could pin the changelog”

[gloomy ice]

oh no

I did the same thing earlier

[knotty cairn]

[chilly tartan]

@final whale did you mean in this discussion or in the form

[final whale]

Wdym?

[chilly tartan]

nvm

[gloomy ice]

what's a lava black

[chilly tartan]

representation

[elder valve]

Fixed an issue where dead players prevented other players from skipping night
finally

[elder valve]

https://github.com/JaylyDev/ScriptAPI/blob/main/docs/MinecraftApi/%40minecraft/server/runCommandAsync.md
Needs update again. Now we have spawn point api.

[obtuse quail]

We're not updating the docs in my scriptapi repository, wiki scripting category is having a rewrite.

[elder valve]

oh okay

what wiki

[obtuse quail]

bedrock wiki

[knotty cairn]

https://github.com/Bedrock-OSS/bedrock-wiki/pull/583

[chilly tartan]

^ @final whale did you try it?

[final whale]

Currently i’m away from my laptop but i will make sure to try it later

[chilly tartan]

that’s okay💖

im wondering if we can in some way spoof the camera location

trick the system in some way

[final whale]

I don’t there is a way because the cameras are in resource packs but Mojang might allow us in the future to modify them in someway maybe from inside the game using a command or using ScriptAPI

[chilly tartan]

@final whale like this?

[final whale]

Yes, but you never know they might never allow us to modify the camera position

[chilly tartan]

true, allowing us to attach it to a separate entity or even part of an entity would be incredibly exciting

[hollow summit]

yoyooyoyoy what finally

[chilly tartan]

look at the camera video

[hollow summit]

I saw, this is awesome

I can't wait for this to be available and used by like map creators

[true stump]

camera hacks pain me so much...

[shut prairie]

Never change your pp Kayla, it’s so nice.

[sudden scroll]

[chilly tartan]

why👀

[true stump]

because they break all the time

[chilly tartan]

do you think we will get full camera control eventually?

[chilly trout]

Containers are exposed now 😱

[true stump]

If I could snap my fingers, you'd have it today.

[chilly tartan]

snap snap snap

[true stump]

So yes, I think camera control is an important feature we should build. But nothing to announce today.

[chilly tartan]

can i put in some suggestions you can bring back to the team?

[true stump]

anything to avoid these hacks....

[obtuse quail]

man just brutally hurt a person

[chilly tartan]

@true stump would something like this be a possibility?

sorry i’m just very excited

[obtuse quail]

why do i feel like thats java spectator mobs behavior

[fast carbon]

Two birds with one stone

[outer dove]

update day!

[wicked swan]

• Added on_hot_block entity filter
• Re-added indefinite render distance of entities using the minecraft:ender_dragon runtime identifier (note the cube):

[wispy dome]

would love if the infinite render distance became like an RP component but all of the stuff here is super exciting

especially the data driven camera height 🙏

[fast carbon]

So ominous.

[wispy dome]

was there a flattening of the wool types? I didn't see it in the changelog

[fast carbon]

There was, and only wool right now.

[wispy dome]

really really nice step in the right direction for 1.20 though

[gloomy ice]

@wicked swan that filter was actually added at the start of the 1.19.60.20 previews

weird if your difs are telling you it's new

[sudden scroll]

This shows that it is possible for it to work. We just need to get our hands on some sort of component or slider and then can finally customize our rendering depending on playstyle and device capability ☺️

[dull spindle]

woww

[swift shard]

Are we supposed to use scripting API if we want to add inventories to blocks or will there be a inventory component at some point?

also will scripting completely replace the json stuff at some point?

[knotty cairn]

Scripts can’t add inventories to blocks, just read and write to existing ones.

And I highly doubt that scripts will replace json.

[swift shard]

ah ok it looked like it was going to replace it with all the inventory talking in the changelog

[misty shard]

I can see it replacing commands though.

[quasi tusk]

Ore-ui will replace json tho

[knotty cairn]

Json UI

And good

Because json ui is awful

[quasi tusk]

Agree

[true stump]

Don't tell Jason he's getting replaced

[knotty cairn]

I won’t

[upper flume]

Kid named Jason :

🗿

[quasi tusk]

He

[upper flume]

Also what you can edit the camera?

[swift shard]

Jason's in fear for his life right now ore and script are giving him the mean eye lol

stink eye*

[quasi tusk]

[polar roost]

It's funny that the highlight of every changelog is often a 1.13 feature finally getting half ported

[upper flume]

Wym

[polar roost]

Oh, I guess the sneaking change was 1.14

[quasi tusk]

I understand

[bitter mortar]

The biggest crime is that dirt is the only data driven-ish block. Some dev left it in on "accident"

[inner ruin]

Bruh, finally

[true stump]

well we certainly wouldn't want to rush things!

[polar roost]

Slow and steady

[west sluice]

1.5 BLOCK SNEAKING?!!!

[stable hamlet]

Its preview day ma dudes

[west sluice]

this is a great preview

[knotty cairn]

Fr fr

[west sluice]

still no seedable math.random not impressed

[sly meteor]

yes

[wispy dome]

i'd also attribute it to the fact that the bedrock team has 100x more on their table

[misty shard]

Both have a lot on the table, but it's in different areas.

[shut prairie]

Well, 1.9’s combat update and 1.13’s technical update are only updates that Bedrock didn’t receive. Last year, in 1.18.30 changelog, they added huge combat parity changes, like shield cooldown, hunger parity, and much much more, but they don’t want to add everything because Mojang will update the combat again and they will release the update at the same time on both editions, and so they just added the things that they can add now and they don’t need to wait the combat update, while for other things, like attack cooldown, etc… they want to wait for the next combat update. While for the 1.13’s technical update, I’n glad that they are doing. They firstly released the new /execute command and now they are trying to give us the flattening (identifier parity). Looks like they will do this one by one on every update instead of releasing one major technical update that breaks everything like what Java’s 1.13 did. So, it’a good!

[misty shard]

What if Mojang feels like the combat doesn't need to be overhauled.

Java hasn't gotten an experimental combat snapshot in many years and instead got a ton of QoL changes.

[shut prairie]

I guess you don’t know the latest news on combat update

[misty shard]

Actual news or rumors? I read every changelog.

[shut prairie]

Combat snapshots were doing by Jeb, but Jeb told us that the gameplay team has now taken the combat update and they will do this with the whole gameplay team when they will ready, like every major updates.

And the gameplay team was busy with caves update, wild update, and now 1.20 and so it kept delaying

So we even have chance for 1.20 too since we don’t know the actual theme, but I doubt.

[shut prairie]

News

He told us on twitter not on the changelogs

[misty shard]

I'd have to look into that.

[true stump]

Twitter would never lie to us

[misty shard]

Overall I don't know how they could make it better. Anything is better than using up my mouse's rated number of clicks in a single play session.

Beta 1.7.3 combat was better. Food didn't stack, couldn't sprint, armor degradation, and automatic bows. /s

[shut prairie]

I prefer the combat update with The End update, like 1.9 version. If you ask why, because: not all players go to The End and so it will be a good update for only overworld and nether players too.

[shut prairie]

They want to release a whole new combat mechanic instead of making the current system better.

[chilly tartan]

im just a simple man, all I need is camera movements

[shut prairie]

Now Mojang added new touch controls, I want the ability to edit or make new controls with touch, mouse-n-keyboard, and gamepad.

Also, a query about “query.player.chunk.loaded” will be a cool addition, it will detect if the player’s chunk is fully loaded or not and so if we do big maps or minigames we can start the minigame when all players’ chunks are loaded for the competitive game. What do you think about this @true stump

[gloomy ice]

Won't a players chunk always be fully loaded

[shut prairie]

Maybe first 4 chunks is enough ahaha

[chilly tartan]

pretty sure yeah, it prioritizes peoples chunk I think

[shut prairie]

Just adding something to check if players first 4 or 6 or 8 chunks (however you like) is loaded or not to continue the map.

[misty shard]

Java recently got this:

[obsidian breach]

End Crystal on Bedrock 1.19.50 vs 1.19.70 beta

• The hitbox is now 2 x 2 blocks.
• The animation position is lowered and corrected.
• The explosion now doesn't destroy terrain below it unless it is inside the blocks.

[west sluice]

does it not destroy blocks because the origin of the ray casting is lower?

[obsidian breach]

No, the explosion is negated by obsidian below it

[west sluice]

i know, i mean did they lower the origin so most of the rays hit the obsidian and not the weaker blocks

[obsidian breach]

I dunno, maybe? They did lower the animation position that is...

[west sluice]

interesting

[bitter mortar]

Not ATM.

[true stump]

How many air tags do I need to add to scripting before gravel starts learning?

[west sluice]

half a stack

• 1 more for good luck

is grass considered empty space

[bitter mortar]

I will definitely get into it if you... well I suppose... add it in some other way.. maybe implement the testing of "air" in a preexisting system like one that is used in queries.

just an idea

[true stump]

hmmmmm

[dull spindle]

can we get minecraft:fuel for custom block (please emoji)

[misty shard]

Can we get bitwise scoreboard operations too?

Last time this was brought up with a Java dev, they were like: "You're just going to make floats" or "You're just going to implement the fast inverse square root".

We can say it's a parity feature if it's added to Bedrock.

[west sluice]

i want bitwise operators for molang

[west sluice]

i see nothing wrong with that

[misty shard]

Same. Then we could use int entity properties as bitfields.

[west sluice]

i can use it to implement simplex noise

[misty shard]

Bitwise scoreboard operations are a really popular suggestion. I'm not sure why they don't like it.

[west sluice]

they have their priorities i guess

[misty shard]

Java still doesn't have /scoreboard players random too. They can add an entirely new command (/ride), but not add an extra subcommand to /scoreboard players. 😅

I know they have priorities, but it's still annoying.

[west sluice]

whats the players random , is it like it selects a random player or something else

[misty shard]

It generates a random scoreboard value between a min and max.

[west sluice]

ah, i too wish theyd just make everything random have a seed input

where my math.random(seed) and q.world_seed mojank

[misty shard]

Yeah, that would be nice.
For scoreboards, I'd even be fine with a way to set the RNG seed globally.

[west sluice]

sigh mojang

[elder valve]

has player.json been changed?

[upper flume]

I think someone said it hadn't

[elder valve]

so both sprint movement and sneak collisionbox are not data-driven

[upper flume]

I guess

[dull spindle]

sad

[final whale]

Hitbox adjustment is probably hardcoded for the Player because nothing changed in the player.json

[final whale]

Get ready to see something

[dull spindle]

see what

[final whale]

It’s being uploaded

[dull spindle]

bro think its replay mod

very cool tho

how

[final whale]

Modifying the player’s camera

[dull spindle]

windows only?

[final whale]

you can do it on Android too but i think you need to modify the apk

[elder valve]

i guess no

not as component group

js can detect sprint using movement component
i guess collisionbox component is the same

[chilly tartan]

this is amazing, we have some more work to do and i have some more questions about it, this is very exciting

one step closer to the cutscenes, if we just constantly teleport the players head in place we can get cutscenes (albeit janky) would work well

i guess my question is if we could make a bézier curve using math expressions for the zoom out @final whale

[final whale]

Currently you can’t change the third person camera’s position

[chilly tartan]

can you add another camera pos?

[final whale]

I don’t think we can

[final whale]

I mean i can using third person front

[chilly tartan]

no i mean like adding another camera file and seeing if when switching through if uses the 4th camera pos

[inner ruin]

Why things need to be hardcoded?

[final whale]

You can’t

[chilly tartan]

hmmm

and i’m guessing we can’t force the player into any camera modes?

[final whale]

Yes you have to use F5

[chilly tartan]

so that still makes this feature a little useless

[final whale]

Yes

[chilly tartan]

it’s a step in the right direction tho!

[stable hamlet]

Prevent cheating

[final whale]

I really hope @minecraft/client module will allow us to switch to different cameras

[inner ruin]

Like vanilla blocks

Whats the cheat from it

I just want a reference

[chilly tartan]

we could then trigger a function file when a player enters a space that triggers a script activating a cutscene

[stable hamlet]

Most have components that we dont havr access to probably

[final whale]

It’s a ScriptAPI module, you don’t need to use a function file

[chilly tartan]

im going to be wary of adding these to my game just yet but i will keep it in the back of my head for possible features

thank you @final whale for testing all this for me

[stable hamlet]

it be amazing if you added sonic boom as a damage cause to scripting

[chilly tartan]

/damage doesn’t work?

[final whale]

You’re welcome!

[stable hamlet]

/damage works

What the problem is

#old-script-api message

[inner anchor]

why

If people want to cheat theyll find a way

preventing modification of certain things with resource packs will just limit resource packs

[glacial nymph]

Maybe it's missing as EntityDamageCause enum doesn't have sonicBoom property

[rotund saddle]

Custom blocks are far from fully functional at this point and have a lot of game breaking bugs/limitations, so I think there's a lot of work to do before data driven vanilla blocks would even be on the table, if ever.

[inner anchor]

oh

I thought people were talking about the camera json files

Sorry

[fast carbon]

So was I. I can definitely see modifying camera.json to make cheating easier though. I'd wager they have the same thought process for skins with custom geometry.

[final whale]

Like making a free look mod?

[fast carbon]

Yeah. If Mojang ever do decide on giving more camera controls, they're likely to be server side or something.

[chilly tartan]

eh, that’s not really what i would want out of minecraft, even if i was cheating

free look would be a pain in minecraft

[final whale]

And that’s what we want, we want it to be server side so we can make cutscenes

[fast carbon]

Me too. The only thing missing from our cinematic arsenal is smooth camera rotation.

[chilly tartan]

using we pronouns now, really feeling the team energy now!

[chilly tartan]

did you see my proposal above

being able to switch the camera to an entity bone and just animate it in blockbench

[final whale]

Also it will allow us to lock the camera

Moving the mouse will not make the screen jitter like Java

[fast carbon]

Sounds good.

[chilly tartan]

i don’t think we would ever get a replay mod like minecraft interface

but you never know, itl depend on how the edit mode comes out

[gloomy ice]

just figure out whatever Hive did

[chilly tartan]

?

what?

[gloomy ice]

Hive has a full on replay feature that lets them watch their entire matches play out

player movement, actions, and all

[chilly tartan]

oh, plug-ins def

[gloomy ice]

and you can freely move around during the replay

[final whale]

It was made using custom server software

[chilly tartan]

we’re talking about camera

[gloomy ice]

ah

[fast carbon]

Yeah plugins would be able to achieve some form of replay.

I even saw someone demonstrate with their own system.

But being a plugin means it has some limitations, without client side modding.

[chilly tartan]

i would be making like 80 different cutscenes if i was able to use the camera how i wanted too

i think it would really open up the possibilities for new gameplay options

[upper flume]

I hope if they give more camera control it could be toggled with like a camera command or smthn

[chilly tartan]

if not it would be useless

[upper flume]

Like how there's like.. /dialogue to open npc stuff with

[chilly tartan]

i would want a command and a scripting component

[fast carbon]

/camera start "camera_path_resource"

[chilly tartan]

that’s a great idea actually, it could be a function file

[upper flume]

Also it could be useful even without Addons as a command if you wanted to just force the player to always be in first person or something

[fast carbon]

/camera lock first_person

[upper flume]

That too ye

[chilly tartan]

or for riding entities, like if you have a boat and want to view it from above and behind for steering

[upper flume]

Yeah

[chilly tartan]

maybe being able to also enable camera tilt and camera effects using scripting too

turn left and the camera tilts a little

[upper flume]

Ye

[fast carbon]

/camerashake is only the beginning. lol

[chilly tartan]

camera shake is kinda bad, i use it occasionally but the smoothing is awful

wait-

nope never mind

[final whale]

I’m already working on my own custom version of Minecraft and the i’ve locked the camera to third person

[upper flume]

I can never think of a use for camera shake tbh

[chilly tartan]

i use it for teleporters

[upper flume]

Hmm tru

[fast carbon]

If the ground is rumbling? When a large event is happening?

[chilly tartan]

out of bounds

[upper flume]

Maybe I just never make the right stuff for it

[chilly tartan]

speaking of out of bounds @high fractal how did you manage the world limits?

[final whale]

You can use ScriptAPI to teleport players when they are out of bounds

[chilly tartan]

ah

i guess that makes sense

[rotund saddle]

Then again the ability to modify materials at all also lets you cheat. Since you can do something like ambients pack that makes entity hitboxes that are visible through everything. So basically you can have X-ray for entities

[chilly tartan]

cheaters are going to cheat regardless

i just want creative freedom

[rotund saddle]

But we cannot have it 🙂

[chilly tartan]

eventually

day 3.15^9208490 of waiting for bedrock to become open sourced

[chilly tartan]

i think i would prefer this infinitely over having multiple separate camera files

[final whale]

Bedrock Edition will never become open sourced

[chilly tartan]

you never know

wanted camera feature: Focal length

to be able to change the focal length would be OP

so cinematic

imagine that with RTX

minecraft bedrock would be suddenly top teir

[final whale]

It would be cool if it becomes open source but it’s Mojang’s source of money so they can’t

[chilly tartan]

it could eventually run out of support and is not profitable and they could do to

[final whale]

Also i think we should go to #off-topic because we are not talking about the update

[obsidian breach]

i dunno why 500+ people likes this post about a preview spliting wools

[obtuse quail]

its cool yknow

[fast carbon]

You don't how many people come to me confused about how to place coloured wool down.

[obsidian breach]

didn't expect it would be a hit tweet about wools lmao

[fast carbon]

Next thing to flatten has gotta be stone and the logs.

[inner anchor]

What if servers override that to stop easier cheating?

[obsidian breach]

i really hope the preview cycle is does have some breathing period instead of just releasing every month

[inner anchor]

Wow

[obsidian breach]

there needs to be a striking balance between releasing updates fast and getting beta done properly without having more bugs

[fast carbon]

That's not a bad idea. In fact that's what can be done with skins to disallow custom ones.

But to be honest, I really think it would be better if camera settings for clients are server side anyway

[high fractal]

Hmm?

[chilly tartan]

the thing you were talking abt

[high fractal]

Confushion

I'll head to #off-topic

[rotund saddle]

Unfortunately though they did not split it in terrain_texture :/ https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/preview/resource_pack/textures/terrain_texture.json#L3319

[obsidian breach]

It is split in terrain_texture.json in the preview app, it just that the github hasn't been updated yet.

also the github hasn't been updated since Oct last year bruh

[rotund saddle]

For that file... but they also made a release yesterday labeled with the current version xD

Very confusing indeed

I also wish they would just use the name of the block for the texture keys instead of this weird "wool_colored_x" nonsense... those are so difficult to deal with programmatically because from what I can tell there is basically no way to systematically get what maps to what without just hard coding it.

[glacial nymph]

That because they didn't change anything until latest preview

[high fractal]

There's only been one major version tbf so it's one behind 🤷‍♂️

[obsidian breach]

well, fair enough

[digital scroll]

idk if this has been pointed out yet but there's some stuff about bundles in the documentation of the latest preview?

[obtuse quail]

omg we may be gettting bundle after 3 years

[stable hamlet]

That was added in .50

Doesnt even work

[upper flume]

Yeah I reckon it's for 1.20

[digital scroll]

never said it worked, just saying it existed

[candid crown]

Any idea why my mouse turns into the click thing when I'm just hovering over the text

[sudden scroll]

I noticed the same, but it seems to happen with every preview

It doesn't link to anything

[final whale]

Don’t worry about it

[candid crown]

The scroll bar is also a bit interesting

[high fractal]

Oh no that's not good

[obtuse quail]

loving web dev

[eternal swift]

what are my ears witnessing

[fast carbon]

• Scrollbar is going where no scrollbar has gone before.

[twilit hare]

And they didnt fix the dang jump button overlapping with the fudge status effects

[candid crown]

Excuse me...

[sudden scroll]

You got trolled

[final whale]

Can’t believe they still haven’t fixed it

Sorry for mention, accidentally left reply mentions on

[candid crown]

No worries, I'm good with that

[candid crown]

That's an issue from before?

[final whale]

Yes, it has been an issue from the first day of it being used

And that issue made a lot of players confused because the Preview announcement modal appeared on PlayStations in stable builds which made them think that the Preview is coming to PlayStation

[candid crown]

Oh

[faint sinew]

Already done

[west sluice]

with scoreboards?

[faint sinew]

oh

i thought you meant world gen

[west sluice]

the conversation was about scoreboards

:p

It's supposed to look like it's spinning

[west sluice]

yes

[warm elm]

get the fuck on wormwood, Chil

[west sluice]

school

ill be home at 1.5 hours

[warm elm]

oop

[chilly tartan]

it just looks like it’s going back and forth jarringly

[warm elm]

It looks Jank as a sticker, I really don't know why.

Maybe I could smooth it out somehow.

[fast carbon]

Maybe it's because the rotation isn't smooth.

[chilly tartan]

it still looks like it’s bouncing back and forth, but if i switch and come back it rotates once

[fast carbon]

It needs to slow down near the points it extends the furthest to the GIF edge.

[chilly tartan]

if you stare at the bottom it fully rotates, if you stare at the too it bounces

congrats you accidentally made an optical illusion

[inner anchor]

Better than those ballerina silhouettes

Well, it is a Betana

Data driven camera's?

I'm gonna check it out brb

keep it that way, the ames window banana illusion is great

[plain relic]

how did you edit this? from a normal resource pack or did you edit the internal vanilla resource pack?

[final whale]

Internal one
