[junior oar]

lets goo

[solar lance]

ohhh

[ebon grove]

Banana!

[vernal crown]

[bold saffron]

Per player particles are here! i love it!

[solar lance]

nice

[junior oar]

🍌

[compact plover]

waos

[reef ermine]

Happy preview day!

Welcome to 1.20.60 😮

[solar lance]

script api tweaks

[odd glen]

Happy Preview day!

[bright jasper]

Wish this had an explosion power parameter and wasn't tied to radius. Whatever equation it uses to determine explosion damage is exponential and becomes a nuke with any radius higher than 1.

[junior oar]

stable .50 in this month?

[pallid reef]

good but where is minecraft 1.19.50 release

[bright jasper]

They're usually staggered by a week

[reef ermine]

It might be delayed to the start of december? 1.20.40 threw off the releases around the start of the month 😮

[solar lance]

and more api been stablized

[hardy scarab]

Yooo let’s go I always wanted to access players via scripts

[solar lance]

horray

[wooden horizon]

No more random fall damage? Nice

[bright jasper]

format mistake

[fathom belfry]

1.20.50 might come out the same time that Java 1.20.3 does

[hardy scarab]

Every single time lol

[fathom belfry]

Since both have similar gameplay changes like the bat remodel and the 1.21 experiments

[reef ermine]

When dat?

[fathom belfry]

SoonTM 😉 But sooner once Java starts pre-releases

[bright jasper]

™

[solar lance]

format lol, it's the fixed rule for update logs (x

[junior oar]

bro 💀 when can i download the preview
it's 1am rn

[willow oasis]

run_command 🥹

[reef ermine]

RUN COMMAND

[odd glen]

run_command is dead. Long live queue_command

[junior oar]

💀 damn we at mcdonalds now huh

[solar lance]

RIP for run_command

[willow oasis]

Yay queue command

[compact plover]

"queue_command": {
  "command": [
    //commands
  ]
}

right?

[odd glen]

should work exactly the way run_command was working

[solar lance]

nice

[compact plover]

[solar lance]

it's more readable I think

[junior oar]

I'm gonna go to sleep

[tulip ridge]

Will queue_command only affect entities or blocks as well?

[odd glen]

it's only for entities

[compact plover]

a

[hardy scarab]

I never thought I’d see the day where run command (or something similar) is non experimental 🥹

[tardy ibex]

Get ready for the hardcore mode 👍

[solar lance]

don't worry, I will phone you when it's accessible

[compact plover]

so for blocks and items still unstable?

[junior oar]

my number is 65023898

[wooden horizon]

Ye

[dry rampart]

ok im back and going back again but im late for party

[tulip ridge]

Ok, so blocks will still use run_command but entities will use queue_command, a bit confusing.

[hardy scarab]

Sean, you didn’t even include fixing the fall damage bug in the official discord changelog

[wooden horizon]

Block events are still experimental

[solar lance]

copy that, good night~ 😛

[bold saffron]

run command for blocks is still experimental isn't it?

[odd glen]

blocks and items are both still experimental, and no plans to release run_command for these out of experimental

[last quiver]

Oh? Do I sense the changelogs newest vicitm?

[junior oar]

gn

[bold saffron]

gn

[hardy scarab]

Yeah, it’s you

[bold saffron]

What you think about local perticles!

[hardy scarab]

Very neat

[bold saffron]

ya, so cool

[wooden horizon]

I gotta try that when electriccity is back here

[hardy scarab]

I don’t know when I would use them specifically but they definitely are useful and I would love to use them

[bright jasper]

me when doing player.dimension

[last quiver]

Time to eat lunch

[dry rampart]

okay i should definitely check the quick world creation by tomorrow if it has came for me

[wooden horizon]

Long time

[dry rampart]

goodnight. I'm going to sleep

[wooden horizon]

Well more like a couple weeks

[dry rampart]

10:40pm

[pallid reef]

and what about entity permutations

[ebon grove]

entities don't have permutations

[pallid reef]

really 👀

[bold saffron]

ya, they have properties but not permutations/states

[last quiver]

They have component groups

[pallid reef]

"permutations":[
    {
        "condition":"q.actor_property('property:string_enum_example') == 'first'",
        "components":{
            "minecraft:scale":{
                "value":1.0
            }
        }
    },
    {
        "condition":"q.actor_property('property:string_enum_example') == 'second'",
        "components":{
            "minecraft:scale":{
                "value":2.0
            }
        }
    },
    {
        "condition":"q.actor_property('property:string_enum_example') == 'third'",
        "components":{
            "minecraft:scale":{
                "value":3.0
            }
        }
    }
]

[pallid reef]

why wiki bedrock wrote an article on entity permutations then

[pallid reef]

nah

queue command cant run queries

[wooden horizon]

True, but it's much better to use for running commands on event trigger

[pallid reef]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-properties.html

[pallid reef]

aliases are already out of experimental and properties too but permutations is left

[wooden horizon]

Entity, permutations?

[pallid reef]

yep

[humble frost]

I think I have it

[pallid reef]

and they are real

and are experimental

[humble frost]

it's refering to entity states or whatever they are called

[brazen berry]

Happy Preview day!

[obtuse dagger]

Minecraft Preview v1.20.60.20 is out now on the Microsoft Store!

[obtuse dagger]

Bedrock Dedicated Server for Minecraft Preview v1.20.60.20 is out now!

[humble frost]

got it before u

[unkempt ledge]

Wow

I never thought it'd see the light of day

[last quiver]

Oh bds as well?

[pallid reef]

its referring to this, except permutations , all things from this article is out of experimental
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-properties.html

[ebon grove]

Yeah

[bold saffron]

ya

https://github.com/Bedrock-APIs/bds-docs/tree/preview

Docs are updated!

new Server version 1.9.0-beta!

[humble frost]

playing preview now

[pallid reef]

and i hope entity permutations would be more reliable then component groups

[night holly]

why does it have the word deferred in there

[humble frost]

nice name poggy

[night holly]

show is deferred performance

[pallid reef]

lol

[humble frost]

130fps

[pallid reef]

it seems like they directly went to world without visiting main menu

[night holly]

what does skin standard cust mean

[unkempt ledge]

Why shouldn't it?

[pallid reef]

lang file issues

[night holly]

what was it before

[humble frost]

Got 70fps before this preview

[night holly]

[ebon grove]

I will probably be able to check in a bit to see if it's better for me

[humble frost]

got 150 fps now

[hidden cliff]

mobile?

[night holly]

what’s mobile performance

[humble frost]

I can check

[unkempt ledge]

@astral tartan Thought you should know ^

[pallid reef]

i hope it drops to 50

[humble frost]

150 without upscaling

nice

they havent fixed that one bloom bug

[ebon grove]

neat

[night holly]

wat dat

[last quiver]

My puny device with 2 fps

[astral tartan]

thank you. What am I looking at? I sw run_command is coming out

[ebon grove]

We're now on v1.9.0-beta for the @minecraft/server module

[hidden cliff]

The maximum my device can reach is 40fps

[humble frost]

Input lag is a lot better with deferred

[unkempt ledge]

That run command, unlike what I had predicted, is not going to be removed

[night holly]

don’t know what that means

[hidden cliff]

But it dies when I use multiple light scources

[astral tartan]

Nice.

[clear lichen]

What pack do you use?

I mean

Shader

[humble frost]

mY PACK

[ebon grove]

ScriptAPI thing

[clear lichen]

ah okay

[humble frost]

Poggy's Luminous Dreams

[clear lichen]

aaaah

what is this thing

[ebon grove]

Notifications

[last quiver]

Notifs

[night holly]

what is this for

[last quiver]

Mid

[clear lichen]

hm

[last quiver]

Mines better

[night holly]

what kind of notifications

[odd glen]

I've heard of this add-on!

[last quiver]

/s

[clear lichen]

what is it used for?

[ebon grove]

Mine is in a private repo

[night holly]

recourse pack*

[brazen berry]

I finally finished the 1.20.50.24 changelog, did I miss anything today?

[ebon grove]

Should be Invites, Realms and News

[hidden cliff]

Yours kills my phone

[night holly]

[last quiver]

Get gud

[hidden cliff]

It's the fog

[last quiver]

I love the fog

[astral tartan]

lol Players no longer fall through the block they stand on when switching to Spectator mode and back (MCPE-170522)

[hidden cliff]

When I get to jungles it goes straight to 4fps

[humble frost]

no custom sun light colors, ok

[hidden cliff]

And the fog does look like the ones on pc

[astral tartan]

This is big for hosted

Increased the maximum render distance in Preview on Realms to 20 chunks. We will be collecting data and feedback on the change to determine what render distance increase we can bring to normal Realms. Please share your feedback with us on the feedback discord server or on the feedback site.

[humble frost]

SPENT a month on mine

[last quiver]

Why should I have custom sun colours when the default is already nice?

[humble frost]

eeew all white

[astral tartan]

Decorated Pots now support the use of loot tables```

[ebon grove]

Me who spent over three months and still havent released the pack

[humble frost]

I like this

[last quiver]

And?

[humble frost]

plain

[astral tartan]

I wish they would fix the massive memory leak

[humble frost]

[last quiver]

And?

[pallid reef]

mine prediction turning true soon lol

[humble frost]

@last quiver dw I love ur pack 😘

[pallid reef]

so... the run_command will still work but only if experimental features are on?

[ebon grove]

I still haven't tried anyone's PBR pack

[last quiver]

Poggy I want constructive criticism 😂 saying plain and white does not help

[humble frost]

The default sun colors from the docs is just plain

[pallid reef]

(when it will be released in a full release, i will rename it to the new name)

[humble frost]

so it's not ur pack

all white just feels off

I still wanna change shadow contrast

[proud beacon]

Entity event response run_command has been renamed to queue_command and has been released out of experimental. Commands run via queue_command may be deferred until the next tick. If the entity is removed before the command is run, the command will not execute. Content using run_command under experimental will still work for now but the experimental feature is now considered deprecated

Lets goo!

[rugged void]

what?

how can you fix this with script?

[humble frost]

@junior oar I think the wierd values in atmospherics.json is intenional because they done have seperate keyframes for day and night, so they just merged both into the mess we have in that file.

[clear lichen]

New Ore UI elements (a few ones were already here)

[pallid reef]

Aujourd'hui

[astral tartan]

Could you post this file

[pallid reef]

✨✨

[ebon grove]

translates to today from french'

[junior oar]

:/ damn at least it's gonna stay that way right?

[pallid reef]

i know

i live in france lol

😂

[junior oar]

I am France

[pallid reef]

✨

[junior oar]

🗿

[pallid reef]

[humble frost]

I found this out because I saw that in globat.json the sun and moon use the same keyframe values

[brazen berry]

I miss crab

[pallid reef]

[humble frost]

They can add both sun and moon values to that file to make stuff easier

quite interesting

[junior oar]

So you mean like 0.0 to 1.0 key frames for sun and moon right

[rugged void]

what does the Class player mean in the scripting api changes?

[humble frost]

I don't have the doc link

[last quiver]

L

[pallid reef]

i dont

[ebon grove]

french is my second language

[humble frost]

yea, night time (start of night) is also keyframe 0.0

[clear lichen]

me when this bug is still a thing

[ebon grove]

same

[pallid reef]

i have the crab with me all days lol

[rugged void]

anyone?

[unkempt ledge]

Have the VPs updated yet?

[pallid reef]

im not french, im italian
i miss italy 😀✨

[humble frost]

Deferred fps on mobile is still the same

[pallid reef]

[bright jasper]

It's a format error, the bullet point below it was was meant to be tabbed over.

[rugged void]

oh okay

[junior oar]

I think they meant a fix only for dgpus or mobile was missed out

[humble frost]

yea

[junior oar]

Also is the copper grate blocks being pale in deferred fixed now

[odd glen]

Would love to hear what folks see on Android with the perf improvements to deferred.

[humble frost]

I still get 5fps :/

[bold saffron]

Hey, Kayla are there any information for cameras development?

[odd glen]

nothing to report, but work continues

[dry merlin]

Yah the imax is pretty good

Not sure what that has to do with Minecraft tho

[bold saffron]

interesting

[proud beacon]

if blocks and items events will be deprecated, what about the /event "entity" part? it will be changed to only /event?

Trigger events via /event command will be very useful

[humble frost]

@odd glen I will check 2x if fps is better on android

[wooden horizon]

Wdym?

[wooden horizon]

I tried to see what performance I would get, but it was strangely capped at 30 fps

[junior oar]

No perf improvment for me
Still the same perf

[humble frost]

1-5fps on a decently powerful phone

[junior oar]

I am exactly at 1fps but rarely dipping into 0.9-0.8

[humble frost]

They forgor android

[bright jasper]

He is using the Nokia

[wooden horizon]

So After disabling vsync (don't know why it made it 30 fps) I'm getting around 45-50 fps

This is with vanilla performance of around 80-120 fps

[junior oar]

I think perf improvments are for good GPUs/SOCs
So we were forgotten

[ebon grove]

Me waiting for iOS :<

[bold saffron]

these improvemts are not global based but based for supported deffered graphics so if you use 3th party tools for enabling deffered you will have like very similar results

[wooden horizon]

Ok for some reason I can't set my max FPS while in a world anymore

[humble frost]

At least I get 150 on PC :)

[junior oar]

I am using vanilla no 3rd party and my hardware is supported

[wooden horizon]

Do you still have the max FPS slider while in a world?

[junior oar]

You couldn't. for me I have to quit the world and go into settings

[humble frost]

nope

[wooden horizon]

I distinctly remember being able to do it before

[bold saffron]

how many FPS you have?

[finite chasm]

🤷🏿‍♂️ i didnt find anything interesting in this update

or anything eye catching for my like 1 minute skim through

[junior oar]

Without deferred 40 to 30 fps
With deferred upscaled 2 to 3 fps
Without upscaling q
Exactly 1fps

[last quiver]

Stay on topic please

[junior oar]

Sorry Abt that

[bold saffron]

i can't really say

[junior oar]

Just say it

What is it

[bold saffron]

oh, ya its sad but i don't have butter spects too

[earnest pumice]

[bold saffron]

i have 50-60 fps with low graphics settings and in defferet like 14 FPS so its nothink super duper

[bold saffron]

any questions?

[earnest pumice]

why? lol

[bold saffron]

i think its pretty nice improvement since you are now able to get its permutation

[earnest pumice]

we can't get stuff like banner color from that

data in general

[bold saffron]

ya, but you can't get that from itemStack as well lol, but at least you can get the block future state

[earnest pumice]

you need block to get itemStack not BlockPermutation

forgot that there is a block propertie 🗿

[last quiver]

Time to update my deffered rendering pack

[junior oar]

Lmao be sure to update the engine to 60

People are gonna import the pack to 50 stable and ask why it isn't working

[last quiver]

🙄 People will still do that

[junior oar]

yeah I can't blame them either
mcpedl doesn't offer tags for preview versions

[wheat flicker]

Yooo

[last quiver]

Waiting for modrinth

[junior oar]

yeah I tried to upload my pack there
pretty sad to know they don't offer bedrock addons project upload stuff

also some how frame limiter is working correctly for me

[wheat flicker]

Cancel damage?

Also what's this?

Changed itemStack in ItemReleaseUseAfterEvent to be optional

[hardy scarab]

No…?

[hardy scarab]

ItemStack parameter could sometimes be undefined I guess

[wheat flicker]

Ohh ok

[junior oar]

I am at 25 fps now from 19fps

💪

[last quiver]

Lol

[junior oar]

also pls give us a resolution switcher in game

[clear lichen]

they textures are way better now

[junior oar]

what? again? they updated it?

[clear lichen]

both yeah

[last quiver]

Yeah 😂

[junior oar]

💀 i am gonna have to make new textures again :/

[clear lichen]

the way they are covered in caves 💀

[uneven thicket]

haha, better than nothing I guess

[earnest pumice]

if that part of the structure file 💀

[junior oar]

i am gonna do the texture update tommorow i need to sleep fr fr

[wooden horizon]

Honestly think that's good. It's suspicious enough for players to dig in. But also not too obvious either

[clear lichen]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/773987767989305385/1174430212268753007/F-_j5jJbAAARCqL.jpg?ex=6567905e&is=65551b5e&hm=0d4df85000a498cd02aa7a78bf546d228806c74fbb9f5d87715a2ff27b78fe6b&

The back…

[wooden horizon]

I just tried the chambers on Bedrock now. My shield was almost broken blocking all those arrows

[gilded ibex]

most people can't even run 20 chunks.. (i guess i should say most people dont run over 16)
just increase the player size instead of view distance 😢

[wooden horizon]

wdym by "increase player size"?

[gilded ibex]

you know.. the realm player limit

[wooden horizon]

Oh!

[gilded ibex]

why change the render distance.. just give us more player slots

most servers dont even run above 16 chunks

[wooden horizon]

Why change the render distance? Because there are players that want to see farther

[gilded ibex]

pretty sure people care more about player slots then render distance

[wooden horizon]

They also care about render distance

[gilded ibex]

i never said they didn't 😐 i just said they cared more about slots

[last quiver]

🙂 you can leave a feedback on the official feedback discord

[wooden horizon]

Yeah they care for both. They're focusing on render distance first though

[naive thicket]

How’s the update

Haven’t had a chance to test it out

[sterile sky]

Long Live queue command!

[pallid reef]

everyone got a free cape

[glacial lynx]

Oh my goodness
This is the best banana i've ever seen

[naive thicket]

Ah nice, good to see

[naive thicket]

Hopefully that will go to blocks and items (I don’t remember if they removed run command in the newer versions)

[gilded ibex]

?

[pallid reef]

offer ended

u r late

[gilded ibex]

when?

[pallid reef]

after few mins since i msged

[gilded ibex]

😐

[gilded ibex]

lying isn't very nice

[pallid reef]

sry sry, but u know na, we can get custom capes, i cant tell bcz i dont know what this server staff will do to me after that

[rose rover]

ah yes guessed it

it's .60

interesting update indeed.

[brazen berry]

I am very interested to see what more this update brings

[reef ermine]

long live queue command!

[static wave]

They basically not removed run command

im very happu

Question... Does that change also applies to blocks and items or..?

Because it kinda specified entity events and my blocks are blockys not entities 😔

[bright jasper]

what run_command 😏

[pallid reef]

according to mojangster, they are not planning something for them
#1174391912963244123 message

[gilded hound]

Why are they changing run command

[bright jasper]

Because it had scawy pwoblems

[static wave]

sad

[hidden cliff]

Mobile

Medium shadow quality
Medium point light
6 chunks deferred render distance
22% bloom

[bright jasper]

someone pulled some blinds over your game

[rose rover]

Intended.

[hidden cliff]

fps is way better than before

This is the highest fps I could get

[brazen berry]

Thats really good!

[last quiver]

No idea why the shutter effect happens

😂 Oh, I went from 2fps to 5 fps average in this preview for defferred

[wooden horizon]

omg double the fps 😄

[wooden horizon]

Must have something to do with the shadow map bias.

[hidden cliff]

The shutter thing is the only led for it to be okay for me

[wooden horizon]

Let's not forget light leaking in caves

[last quiver]

Only happens when its day it seems

If its night time, its perfectly fine

Had to set daytime to night for trial chambers

[wooden horizon]

It happens in night too. It's just much less noticeable

[hidden cliff]

yeah

[wooden horizon]

I can see you're taking advantage of the touch customization

[hidden cliff]

Yeah it's better with the customizable controls

[humble frost]

k I am late but they fixed point lights

[night holly]

sweet

[hidden cliff]

What'd they fix

The lighting

[last quiver]

170 fps? Impressive

[humble frost]

Brightness of the point light (colors)

[hidden cliff]

oh Iit

Aiit

[wooden horizon]

What was your FPS before updating?

[ebon grove]

I’m pretty sure he said something like 70

[wooden horizon]

Most of us here noticing performance boosts, then there's this guy in the Minecraft RTX discord #1137476435611754626 message

[ebon grove]

Poor guy

[pallid reef]

lets assume, he had given his device to a technician for repair and the technician did a fraud and replaced parts with cheap copies

[scenic lake]

Increased the maximum render distance in Preview on Realms to 20 chunks. We will be collecting data and feedback on the change to determine what render distance increase we can bring to normal Realms. Please share your feedback with us on the feedback discord server or on the feedback site.
Add an unread post count indicator to the Feed button on the play screen and slots screen

My feedback is this should be customizable for the realms owner via a setting of some sort in the realms menu.

[last quiver]

🤷 why not share that in the feedback discord

[junior oar]

link?

[junior oar]

hehe

[last quiver]

Check the pins

[junior oar]

oh didn't see that thanks

[vestal delta]

IS THIS REAL???

[bold saffron]

ya

[vestal delta]

this would be sooo goood for optimizations and customizations

also for trakers like in other games

so only one player will see what they allowed to see

so many use cases

wow

[bold saffron]

ya, but its not increase much for optimalization, but conditions and customizations are now huge

[vestal delta]

for phones particles are usually reason of most lags. on servers atleast

[unkempt ledge]

What

[ebon grove]

Player.spawnParticle

You can now spawn particles that only one player can see using scriptapi

[unkempt ledge]

How would you make it so only that player can see it?

[proper kiln]

I know this is a duct tape solution, but disabling the damage and then manually writing your own damage function (using ray cast and vector3 stuff) works pretty well

[ebon grove]

Just get the player and use the .spawnParticle method on the player

[proper kiln]

I don’t think that’s how that works

[unkempt ledge]

Huh interesting

[ebon grove]

check the changelog

[unkempt ledge]

What about that says it's only visible to just that player?

[proper kiln]

Yeah exactly

[unkempt ledge]

Does it have something to do with the molang variables? I think I talked to Veka about local particles before and he mentioned passing in a variable

[ebon grove]

Why do you think they added the method to the player?

[proper kiln]

It seems like it’s just a better way instead of dimension.particle

[unkempt ledge]

Fair

Has anyone tested this?

[proper kiln]

How sure are you that it’s only visible to the player it’s called from?

[ebon grove]

Some people already have I think

[ebon grove]

try it

[proper kiln]

I can’t atm, I’m just looking for anyone who has

[proper kiln]

And they said it was client side only?

[ebon grove]

#1174391912963244123 message

[proper kiln]

Very cool

That’ll be fun to use

[ebon grove]

@proper kiln ^

[spark aurora]

So it works?

[ebon grove]

Yeah :D

[spark aurora]

Cool. Tho it's still not as useful as creating a particle from the player entity via RP as in this way particle has access to player queries and can manage itself, while with scripting you'll have to create new particles every tick and specify parameters via molang variable map

Actually hold on, what if try using something like q.property from particle created from API? Would be neat if it was not only visible to one player but was also attached to it & had shared molang context

[ebon grove]

I have no idea how q.property works

[spark aurora]

What about q.variant

[ebon grove]

I've never used Molang before Veka

[spark aurora]

ah

[bold saffron]

ya same for me, for what that could be useful?

but i think client apis could handle local perticles even better

[spark aurora]

It's like client side scripting, you can use it to program the way things are rendered

[bold saffron]

ya

and it doesn't lags the server

[spark aurora]

Yup, so that's what molang is, slightly less powerful client side scripting

[spark aurora]

You can have something like q.variant == 123 ? 1 : 3 in particle scale for custom or vanilla particle and then see if changing variant (not sure if it will work via API) will affect the scale of particle

[bold saffron]

hmmm, does molang can access to entity properties?

bc we can set them via Script API like entity.setProperty

nvm i guess its not conected

[spark aurora]

Yes that's what q.property is for but you have to define a property in player BP entity file first and enable client_sync so that that it can be read from the RP

@spark aurora :<

[spark aurora]

Do you see anything in content log?

[ebon grove]

Absolutely nothing

[spark aurora]

Ah, weird. Well seems like it doesn't work anyways, so that's upsetting

[ebon grove]

Nevermind, i'm blind

[spark aurora]

Ahhh

[weary vine]

Anything in particles that can be controlled by a molang string can be controlled through the script api

Could you not just pass in all the data you'd need through the api?

[unkempt ledge]

Assuming you can get the data through the api, yeah

[spark aurora]

You can only pass starting variables when creating a particle, but you can't send new data when it was already created. While if the particle is attached to an entity and emitted from animation or AC it can actively use player queries and update its state at any time

[unkempt ledge]

Ah yeah

[weary vine]

I see. Maybe one day that capability gets implemented...

[wheat flicker]

Client side?

[ebon grove]

mhm

[ebon grove]

^

[wheat flicker]

This is exactly what I need to make my border particles different colors yay

[ebon grove]

:D

[reef ermine]

Can confirm it's only visible to the player its run on

I scrolled down after that and saw King demonstrated

[bright jasper]

There'd be no point in even using the explosion then lol

[wooden horizon]

I'm definintely using this once 1.20.60 comes along

I wonder why this wasn't integrated into the particle command though 🤔

[ebon grove]

same!

[autumn comet]

Does the particle command even let you specify the starting molang variables?

[wooden horizon]

Actually, no. the particle command is very limited compared to the script API

[autumn comet]

Broken is the word Id use :p

Since most vanilla particles won't even work due to that

So yeah even if they did allow it I don't see what the point would be without fixing it

[wheat flicker]

Does the new client side particle require molangvariablemap? Or do I just use player.

What does this mean? Do we know what the player class in this case is gonna have?

Would be nice to grab player heads

[ebon grove]

I think it doesn't

[ebon grove]

They only updated the player class to add the .spawnParticle method

[wheat flicker]

Awhhhhh ok

[ebon grove]

They sometimes don't format their changelogs properly

[wheat flicker]

Just tryn to understand how it is formatted

Still a w tho for particles per player

[ebon grove]

Yeah :D

[dry rampart]

im alive

and now sleepy

[wheat flicker]

Do you need an AED to jump start your heart?

Get that rhythm

[short lark]

I am curious, does the copper bulb have the 1 gametick delay to activation in bedrock previews that mojang recently removed from Java snapshots? I'll probably make a feedback post to add the 1 gametick delay to bedrock if it wasn't(there are already numerous about the Java delay being removed, I was thinking about one specifically for bedrock)

[junior oar]

I believe latest java snapshot is the same in gametick delay for copper bulb as latest preview

[short lark]

Ok then, good to know

[dry merlin]

If your gonna make any suggestions do it on their discord

[short lark]

That's what I meant

[dry merlin]

Okay. The feedback website sucks..

[junior oar]

:/ yeah i can't login they log me back out again

[dry merlin]

Tons of feedback gets deleted with no explanation

It goes to "approval" then just gone forever

[junior oar]

yeah what is happening with that are they moving serves or some sort

[dry merlin]

It's been a issue for years

[junior oar]

I got what's happening here i managed to log in to the website

my microsoft acc name and feedback site acc is different

which it shouldn't be

[nocturne lark]

It's not the same, Bedrock has at least a 3-tick delay, and Java now has no delay

[brazen berry]

Due to https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-15793

Also Copper Bulb takes 1gt extra to light up, which is just a visual change

[last quiver]

cough Reminder to record your preview bugs on preview not dev builds cough

I just realized

[brittle tangle]

name one thing included in tomorrow's update

[rose rover]

hotdog

[junior oar]

Fixed several crashes note

[dry merlin]

No update

Mojang devs are on vacation and stuff this week

[junior oar]

No 1.20.50? 👉👈

[dry merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/charliebrown-thanksgiving-costume-pilgrims-gif-6374799397446710814

[junior oar]

Fr they should give us 1.20.50 as a Thanksgiving gift

[rose rover]

give it 2 weeks

[bright jasper]

Kayla only said no bedrock preview

said nothing about stable 😏

[brazen berry]

Probably next week (or the week after due to Thanksgiving)

It's usually released in the same week with the .22 preview of the cycle, however since there is Thanksgiving things might be different

[fathom belfry]

I think 1.20.50 will probably come next week as well

It's been a while since a stable release came out just 2 weeks after the last preview right?

last few updates have released like 3 weeks after instead

[reef ermine]

Thanksgiving might throw it off

[pallid reef]

probably 1.20.50 release is coming

bcz ms docs already updated

[earnest pumice]

i hope they fix this in the stable release
https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-176995

[static wave]

And I hope they fix that and this https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-177045

[nocturne lark]

I'm confused about that one... isn't 2^18 correct? Every possible configuration needs to be accounted for

[pallid reef]

?

[wooden horizon]

Wait where did you get that

[pallid reef]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/blockreference/examples/blockstatesandpermutations?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[dry merlin]

The good news is that you can troubleshoot the issue with the debug log, which contains a list of blocks with permutations, sorted with the largest amount at the top.

Debug Log?

[last quiver]

Content log

Or maybe the new debug log string found in the previews, a better debugger

[dry merlin]

oh what was the debug log strings?

Guessing you tweeted about it

https://twitter.com/SmokeyStack_/status/1720127461898277113

[ebon grove]

The debug button is only for internal builds

I checked oreui

If you are interested I recommend you reading the conversation here #1067876948858118185 message

[wheat flicker]

Does the same partical instance color change for the player with new player class we have or is it a new instance per player to change color?

@ebon grove

And they just can't see the other instances

[ebon grove]

Wdym?

[wheat flicker]

So if player a is standing next to player b, the border will appear as different colors, now are the colors the same particle changing the same particle but visually a different color, or is the particle have to be done twice to show for player a and player b meaning 2 particles generated in the same location?

[ebon grove]

You have to spawn the same particle for each player

or just use the dimension one

[wheat flicker]

Awh OK, so it would be generated twice.

Wdym about the dimension one?

[ebon grove]

world.getDimension("overworld").spawnParticle

[wheat flicker]

I'm using the native to generate particles so haven't felt issues yet with one color, but if I introduced two different colors like green for your land and red for enemies etc

[wheat flicker]

Will this generate two different colors?

Would have to use player class right

[ebon grove]

I’m using the native methods too since the particle command is too limited

[ebon grove]

that one will show the particle to all players in the overworld dimension and it should have the same arguments as the player one

[wheat flicker]

So just one color

[ebon grove]

You can spawn multiple particles if you want, you’re not limited to just one

[wheat flicker]

Yeh, I'm just thinking about the color changing for each player due to if they own the claimed land or not near them

I already have 1 color working

I just need to try in preview now

For multiple colors

[ebon grove]

You should be able to assign the particle’s colours to a molang variable and then you would only need to use a MolangVariableMap to change the colour from scripting

[wheat flicker]

Your saying this would work to change the color for each player in the same particle fir each player without having to make or in the same location

[ebon grove]

So what you wanna do is spawn a particle for everyone at the same location with the same colour?

[wheat flicker]

No sorry lmao, you shared example further up this post. I'm saying I want to have different colors for each player. So player "A" owns the 16x16 claim. So it shows green around the border for him, but player "B" is not the owner of that 16x16 claim so the particles show red for him. Player "C" is a member of player "A" claim so it shows orange or yellow. Does this make sense? My question was due to preventing lagg, I don't want to spawn a particle for each player for each location green,red,yellow meaning all particles together are spawning in 3 instances of each particle so each player can see their color assigned to them.

I'm just confused on how the client shows particles between players

If I have to create 3 different particle instances per color, or does the 1 particle dynamically change without having to worry about lagg for each player

[ebon grove]

Oh, I get it now! Sadly you probably would have to spawn a particle for each player

[wheat flicker]

Ok 👍 👌 all I needed to know:)

I thx for the help

same story

[gilded ibex]

I recently mentioned in #1067535608660107284 that I was confused as to why this was happening with my ActionBar after not having messed with any UI files but it turns out that the "Text Background Opacity" option is what was causing this to happen. This options sounds more like a chat feature and not for the ActionBar but I'm honestly not complaining.

[rose rover]

That's minecraft bug

not really a json-ui issues something like that, it's just minecraft doesn't send the output for the json-ui to process.

so I suppose you'll have to manually set the alpha property for actionbar or anything that uses that slider.

this has been broken since ages now since it meant for title/subtitle.

[bright jasper]

It's not really a bug either

It's just a consequence of having several things inherit from the same global
