🍌 Preview 1.21.110.25

[gaunt osprey]

since it'll go 1.21.130 (winter drop) -> 1.21.140 (bedrock small update) -> 1.21.150 (spring drop) -> 1.21.160 (bedrock update) -> 1.??.???? (announced at Minecraft Live 1 2026)
because 1.21.150's preview cycle will start before minecraft live 1 2026.

and they wouldn't do a 1.22 that isn't announced at Minecraft Live first.

[lost bluff]

also i feels like .110 previews is gonna be here for awhile, judging by not-so-small changelogs and is also a drop release.

hopefully we doesn't reach .110.30 with this one

[gaunt osprey]

i just want .120 already because we clearly aren't getting custom superflats and seemingly also no XSS VV fixes in 110, so i need to hope the next one has them

hopefully they at least fix the classic texture pack creepers in 110 still

they fixed husks

[lost bluff]

love this funny cycle

new 2 previews came out with actual fixes and new stuff, then everything is just script updates and bugfixes afterwards

stable comes out, preview goes in loop.

everytime.

[gaunt osprey]

one of these days we'll get custom superflats and it'll be great!
is that day the 1.21.120 preview cycle?
is it 1.21.130? 1.21.140? 1.21.150? 1.21.160? 1.21.121110?

no one knows !

[warped egret]

pout

are you on pc

[gaunt osprey]

poutpout

sometimes

[warped egret]

just use a generator then

if superflat presets arent good enough

[lost bluff]

if you don't get what you want within 2 weeks ( 2 previews ), yeah you're gotta wait another 5-6 weeks for another previews lmao

[gaunt osprey]

i know but
i want the custom superflats on console too :<
also like, structures and features and stuff.

[warped egret]

your pc and console account are not the same?

[gaunt osprey]

they are

but there's no world transferring in this game.

for whatever reason

[warped egret]

really?

[lost bluff]

The worlds does not sync between platforms.

[warped egret]

hm

[lost bluff]

you'll have to buy and use realms just to get your worlds from other platforms you play on.

[warped egret]

couldnt you just like, download a mcworld file onto your console

[gaunt osprey]

yeah. And i couldn't even actually use the realm if i bought it, as that requires a second subscription, to xbox game pass.

[lost bluff]

No, console is extremely locked down for third party stuff like these.

[gaunt osprey]

sadly consoles don't like letting you download files anymore, this isn't the PS3.

this was possible on PS3/Xbox 360

and it was good.

so, Sony and Microsoft decided "we aren't anti consumer enough"

and removed it for later console gens

[lost bluff]

If sony didn't go full lockdown mode where they cares who jailbreak their consoles, we would never have stuff like these.

they removed "Other OS" feature from PS3 that is extremely useful for me... just to patch the said jailbreak

from there basically everything is locked down and other like xbox and nintendo follows after.

[gaunt osprey]

at least PS3 still lets you download game save files from PC to console.

you can still import minecraft worlds or LittleBigPlanet levels from the archive onto the PS3

[warped egret]

I thought xbox series x has a file system

ps5 does too, but its locked behind ps plus I think

can you just not click and import?

[lost bluff]

they doesn't have file manager at least anymore.

only they have is "file picker"

[warped egret]

they're doesnt, they doesn't

lmao

[lost bluff]

i can't see texts in the sunlight yk

[gaunt osprey]

xbox still does i think

but

to download stuff into minecraft

you have to reinstall the game every time.

because files can only be imported in the old version of bedrock

[warped egret]

that does not make sense

[lost bluff]

xbox supports file manager stuff that also leads to launch minecraft and import stuff.

i mean, not surprised since software on that console is literally windows 10 kernel and every games runs under UWP anyways.

[gaunt osprey]

the way it works is, you delete Minecraft, install the older bedrock one which sees the files you put in the folder, then it updates to the new bedrock one and the files stay.

it's a goofy system.

[lost bluff]

people used that advantage to basically make their own file manager and releases on microsoft store and people imported their worlds and stuff with that.

eventually microsoft know what's happening and removed that thing off their store.

[gaunt osprey]

not fun

[warped egret]

less money from the marketplace

[lost bluff]

Sony in another hand, well. yeah don't.

you're getting console ban with that too.

[gaunt osprey]

imo console bans shouldn't be a thing.

[warped egret]

yes they should

[unborn geyser]

Sony and apple are like peas in a pod

[gaunt osprey]

it's a ridiculous concept. Imagine getting banned from accessing your PC because you downloaded a file Microsoft doesn't like.

[unborn geyser]

They should kiss

[lost bluff]

agreed, but it's just sony thing anyways.

they sees someone jailbreaking their console, they go sue.

[unborn geyser]

You also get account locked for taking action against them 🦅

[lost bluff]

literally lol

if you thinking about adding third party stuff that sony doesn't know, just. dont. get xbox instead

[unborn geyser]

Aside from that one guy who ran Linux on a ps4

Glorious.

[lost bluff]

that would be someone i know i fear.

[unborn geyser]

Whodat

[warped egret]

i was thinking cheaters but I doubt its easy to cheat on newer consoles

[wispy yoke]

fire preview from what I'm reading

[warped egret]

it really is.

this, along with the script api stuff we got from the last 2 previews... its great

[wispy yoke]

motivating me to try out addons for the first time in forever

[burnt egret]

sim4 spawns too many mobs near to you so a lot of players getting jumped by mobs for that.

I would recommend playing sim6 ._.

[raven salmon]

Hot preview!

[nova comet]

Just saw this changelog today, and I'm blown away.

I find it perfect that they now have a redstone producer component just when I am dealing with electricity in my addon lol.

[pearl parcel]

one theory I have is they jump to 1.26.x etc. to match the year like what Apple did with their OSes

[halcyon relic]

WHAT

AND REDSTONE PRODUCER?!

[sullen terrace]

keep scrolling

[halcyon relic]

Custom flower pot additions?!

[sullen terrace]

heck

keep scrolling

[halcyon relic]

Player swing?!

[sullen terrace]

🔥

[halcyon relic]

Oml this preview is stacked

I so wish I had the time to play with it

[radiant wedge]

Hi all, happy (late) preview day! If you have any feedback on player swing, please let us know

[calm gazelle]

Ive noticed a few people say it triggers numeorus times a second similar to the old interact event. Is this intended?

[twilit sentinel]

swing detection would be perfect if we could detect hitting air on the "tap to interact" touch control scheme.

[nova comet]

I almost forgot. Has Mojang fixed the bug of entites not being able to detect blocks that have items with the "replace block item" turned on in the move_to_block component?

[feral fossil]

regarding the swing event, in addition to what the others mentioned, it would help if the event have a source or cause property (what caused the event)

like block hit, entity hit, block interaction, item use and so on

[radiant wedge]

It should trigger once per arm swing. If you swing 5 times consecutively, the event triggers 5 times. If it is triggering more than that, then there's a bug!

[radiant wedge]

That's not directly related to the swing event (sounds like gameplay, control scheme feature), but I'll make a note!

[radiant wedge]

That makes sense. Like swing context of some sort

[feral fossil]

yeah

[calm gazelle]

Ah I think I understand it now. Mining will trigger numerous arm swing then yeah? or drinking/eating. What's considered a swing?

[radiant wedge]

Any time you see your arm swing

[twilit sentinel]

That's not a swing

[feral fossil]

Mining is, drinking is not?

[calm gazelle]

#879773489601585244 message

[twilit sentinel]

Then how about this? being able to force an entity to play the swing event. In the player's case, this would be useful for making a block or item interaction look more real. A lot of times when making these interactions, the swing isn't played automatically

So like player.swing()

[calm gazelle]

I need to test eating and drinking then. Because Minato said mining will trigger it.

[twilit sentinel]

mining does swing your arm

eating and drinking do not

[feral fossil]

let me test that

[calm gazelle]

I wonder if the use_animation will trigger it then. Does trident count as swinging? What is swinging because when you run your arms swing back and forth.

[twilit sentinel]

It's the animation that plays when breaking and hitting stuff

that's "swing"

[hushed marlin]

im curious, i still haven't tried using this new swing event, but is there a way to filter it, like it will only do something if the player is holding a specific item?

[feral fossil]

yeah, drinking and eating does not trigger it

[twilit sentinel]

You can just test if the player is holding the item in the mainhand

you don't need a special filter for that

[calm gazelle]

So for all intents and purpose, at its most basic, it detects left click and right click if you're using it on a block or throwing something.

[twilit sentinel]

Oversimplified, but essentially

[hushed marlin]

oh yeah i see, thanks!

[radiant wedge]

Swing should include: attacking, interacting, using storage, throwing, using certain items, dropping an item

[calm gazelle]

Oh drop detection sweet!

[feral fossil]

~~itemUseOn stuff don't trigger it either ~~
nvm, just some of them
bucket did trigger it but brush did not, make sense i guess sense one don't have swing

[calm gazelle]

Eating cake?

[feral fossil]

do trigger it

[radiant wedge]

Can you provide a specific example use case?

[feral fossil]

droping an item trigger it twice

-# how do i spell that

[calm gazelle]

wut.

why

[hushed marlin]

does it also trigger by using a fishing rod?

[sudden forge]

alylica

[radiant wedge]

I believe so

[calm gazelle]

:0

[feral fossil]

it does twice

lol

pulling do trigger it too

[hushed marlin]

wait, harvesting berries also swing arm, right?

[feral fossil]

it does

lot of stuff trigger it twice

[radiant wedge]

If you find stuff that triggers the event twice, please let it be known! 🙃

[twilit sentinel]

Say I decided to use a beforeEvent. It cancels the item's normal behaviour (if any) and replaces it with my own. In this case I still want the item to swing visually

Like I detect a stick being "used", and it, say, turns a block into a falling block.

Ok not interacting with a block, but the air instead, and it turns all the blocks around me into water

Pretty much anytime I want to implement item use logic when the item isn't really being used according to the game

[radiant wedge]

This is a good way to put it for its current state. It's rather basic, but you can still do cool things with it - like you could even make fps-like hitscan gameplay using player.dimension.getEntitiesFromRay when the event is triggered.

[radiant wedge]

Cool, makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

[calm gazelle]

Thats actually a cool example! Might toy around with that.

[charred plume]

That’s definitely what I’m using the event for, had to rely on player.json for the whole development process of my add-on and bear with the delays, I’m glad that we have an event for that now

[calm gazelle]

current state
Of course I expect it to be iterate on more like all events, and I know 90% of the time yall cant share, but does this include a beforeEvent for swinging? I myself cannot think of a use case currently but it's worth asking.

[charred plume]

Maybe if we get an event source property (what Minato suggested) it could be used for preventing players from hitting another entity while holding a certain item (sometimes, once again, useful for guns, and also a small step forward to beforeEntityHurt)

[north cove]

I 100% need this for RuneCraft to disable people from using tools and weapons they don't meet level requirements for

Right now I just apply slowness or mining fatigue but it's easily exploitable and won't apply on the first use

[sullen terrace]

Okay, so..

Behold

[calm gazelle]

What in the plants vs zombie ass game is this

[sullen terrace]

😭

They obey my swing

[calm gazelle]

Oh wait...you can utilsie pseudo pathfinding ( or just apply impulse) to make your army go in a spot.

[sullen terrace]

I was trying something similar earlier but was taking too long

OH WAIT I DID IT

Not exactly how I want though

[radiant wedge]

Have you tried utilizing the cancel variable on ItemUseBeforeEvent, PlayerInteractWithBlockBeforeEvent, and/or PlayerInteractWithEntityBeforeEvent?

[sullen terrace]

Here are some notes I gathered:

• I notice some double triggers when interacting with doors, fence gates, trapdoors, block placing and block breaking (event fires twice in quick succession).
• Bow, crossbow, trident charge does not trigger the swing event, which I find a bit weird because the arm swings. I assume it doesn't because is just an animation.
• Food and potion drinking don't trigger the swing event.
• Fishing rod sometimes double triggers. Sometimes it doesn't.
• I have noticed that throwing potions trigger the swing event more than 2 times sometimes, but is very odd. I might have clicked multiple times without noticing.
• Spyglass, brush and emotes don't trigger the event.
• When serializing the event object (JSON.stringify), the result is always {}. The fields (player, heldItemStack) only appear when accessed explicitly, which makes debugging harder and suggests the event shape may not be fully exposed.

Some might be pointless, others might not

Hope it helps

[calm gazelle]

Damn, trident charge doesnt trigger? I can detect other ways but Im surprised.

[sullen terrace]

Yeah

[calm gazelle]

Emotes might be tricky because some emotes dont swing your arms.

We have the event anyways.

[sullen terrace]

Yep

Tried various emotes, but it seems animation themselves don't trigger the event

[twilit sentinel]

None of those items trigger swings

[radiant wedge]

A beforeEvent doesn't exist for swing. Let us know if you have any use cases

[twilit sentinel]

Why would emote trigger swing?

[sullen terrace]

Yeah that's what I said, the arm swings visually but no event is triggered

[twilit sentinel]

But that's not the same thing

[calm gazelle]

Because at first glance if you see an event called Swing you would assume it just means your arm swinging.

[sullen terrace]

Yep

[calm gazelle]

Which is why we're doing all these test cases because even the wiki doesnt have a dedicated swinging page.

[twilit sentinel]

I thought it would be clear

Hit swing is clearly different from all those other swings

[calm gazelle]

It might be for Native English speaker.

[sullen terrace]

Hit is not the only swing though

Placing, interacting, using

[twilit sentinel]

All you have to do is look at the animation

[twilit sentinel]

All those share the exact same animation

[calm gazelle]

Contains information regarding a player starting to swing their arm.
This is what it says in the docs. Nothing about HIT swing specifically.

Hence the confusion.

[sullen terrace]

Ayup, that's why I tested all those

[calm gazelle]

I understand how Kai also interprets that as we're both not native English speakers and how it can be interpreted differently. Not saying all non natives have this issue.

[twilit sentinel]

The swing it's talking about is when the arm does that circular motion from player action.

[warped egret]

breaking a block triggers it like 20 times

[twilit sentinel]

I see then

In that case it would help if it came with a GIF to show the specific kind of swing it's talking about, along with examples

[calm gazelle]

Right but the docs don't say that.

Hell, even the dictionary:

To move back and forth suspended or as if suspended from above.

[north cove]

Right now I don't have any systems using the cancel variable. For interacting with entities/blocks since everything I'm doing is with custom interactions/blocks I don't really need to worry about it since I just don't "do" the thing. For swinging tools I'm using entityHitEntity and entityHitBlock at the moment. I don't recall if I ever tried just cancelling it with ItemUseBefore and I don't see why I couldn't... I'll take a look. Thank you!

[north cove]

@radiant wedge Sorry, my brain might be malfunctioning, I probably used confusing nomenclature when it comes to what I meant. I didn't mean "using," rather "swinging" like when hitting an entity or starting to break a block. ItemUse unfortunately won't fire for these things.

[sullen terrace]

100% impossible

[calm gazelle]

Hell yeah!

[radiant wedge]

How about ItemUseOnBeforeEvent or PlayerBreakBlockBeforeEvent?

[sullen terrace]

It would be super cool if the spyglass triggered it!

[north cove]

you can use item start/stop use for that

[sullen terrace]

Yeah, but wanted to create something fun with swing

[meager thistle]

The old way of checking for swing was variable.attack_time, which people would use as if it didn't trigger on item drop and other unrelated actions. It would be good to know if this event could distinguish between the various things that can trigger a swing.

[north cove]

I use playerBreakBlockBeforeEvent to detect mining blocks the player doesn't meet the requirements to mine. To ItemUseOnBeforeEvent, do you mean ItemStartUseOn? This doesn't work either because the player has to be "using" the item i.e., turning grass into path blocks or something related.

[radiant wedge]

Oh I see. That event was deprecated but it is mentioned in the documentation to use PlayerInteractWithBlockBeforeEvent instead. This event doesn't fire for you in your case?

[north cove]

nope, these events only fire when right clicking something

never left click

[wraith saffron]

I'm hoping we see some a "dynamic" value to power level that allows custom redstone blocks to be settable via scripting instead of hard-coupled to permutations.

(I couldn't read through everything here; someone may have already said this.)

[thick bough]

Does this mean we can use script to force player or mob to swing?

[charred plume]

This means we can detect swinging (mainly LMB)

[thick bough]

So no force swing yet 😞

[warped egret]

no

[thick bough]

Bummer

When before hurt event it's been ages

Well become grandparents before it gets released

[warped egret]

I see no use for that, what do you need it for

[thick bough]

My port for java edition Kimetsunoyaiba since it uses force swing or like other things

[warped egret]

idk what that is

[thick bough]

Like a Jojo addon that makes the player swing and makes the stands do ora

[thick bough]

Bro hasn't watched demon slayer or sum ahh

[warped egret]

you are right, bro has not.

[thick bough]

Knew it 🗿

Poor soul

Is this tuff?

[warped egret]

2nd time Im seeing the word "tuff" being used

are you asking if its cool?

[thick bough]

Yes I mean the Minecraft block tuff

Living under the rock ahh

[warped egret]

I made that joke

[thick bough]

🧢

[thick bough]

Fein Fein Fein fein

[warped egret]

not "capping" broham

[warped egret]

it is tuff

im going back under my tuff rock

[thick bough]

You slinky smily smiley doggy woody empty hall of a mess not cap it not tuff at all

[spare goblet]

I’d honestly love that.

[sullen terrace]

Hoping this too. We don’t need this many permutations for redstone

[white grove]

what if, for example, i use playerInteractWithBlock, i use a stick on a block. the block transforms to some kind of other block, and the swing animation plays, but it doesn't, and there's no way to do that right now...

[calm gazelle]

I really doubt this will happen.

[sullen terrace]

I doubt it too, but I really wish is not limited to permutations

[north cove]

I jst hope I convinced toph to give us a before swing lol

[feral fossil]

What would that do? Disabled the swing?

[north cove]

well, yeah

[sullen terrace]

How would that work

[feral fossil]

Not sure how will that work, with stuff like place block event you do place it before the server cancel it and the client update it information
So will the swing show in client or what

[sullen terrace]

you should convince for beforeentityhurt smh

[north cove]

I choose my battles

[warped pollen]

Has anyone used the new swing event? How good is it?

The way it was phrased makes me think it's nothing more than a scripting interface for variable.attack_time

[calm gazelle]

Yeah, there's been a few discussion above.

[charred plume]

Well it’s basically that, but from what I noticed, it has a shorter delay (compared to BP anim controllers)

[warped pollen]

Oh. So no new functionality

Or at least, on the surface. With it being in scripting, we can at least read more of the player's state to (better) determine the context of the swing

[ebon vigil]

Does haste effect the event?

[main spoke]

wait

SINCE WHEN DID THIS GET ADDED

[main spoke]

WHAT

oh it was there since 1.21.100

[rare elk]

lore

[crisp bear]

will we be able to use the swing event to detect simply holding left click at some point?

[warped egret]

it detects when the swing animation happens.

your player doesnt swing their arm multiple times when holding

so I doubt it

[crisp bear]

that's the annoying thing about it.. it sucks that it just swings once

though i doubt they'll change that just for an event

[ebon vigil]

would have been better if they added it to the input after event

[feral fossil]

Only on a block

[crisp bear]

No I know, that’s why I asked about it being just by hand/item

[feral fossil]

Doubt, if they are planning to do so it will be a different event

[crisp bear]

I feel like something like holding left click would end up just coming down to them adding some kind of input registry event or something like that

[feral fossil]

One can dream

[grizzled sail]

day 899964565464562 asking for entityHurtBeforeEvent

[light bison]

@upper marten

[ebon dune]

whats raw lorr

oh

[main spoke]

item lore, but it accepts RawMessage now

[main spoke]

i found out that the amount of playerSwingStart afterevent triggering in the same tick depends on the client's framerate (if the server is singleplayer or an xbox world)

but this seems like the case only for triggers from breaking blocks

placing a block, punching the air, or interacting with a block triggers it only once

[main spoke]

sorry for the late reply, i tested it out just now:

haste and mining fatigue does affect on the delay between events

but it doesnt change how many times its fired in the same tick

interestingly though, the event still fires even if the arm does not swing (with high haste)

[ebon vigil]

aye this is good

[main spoke]

this is how it looks btw

the number on top in the actionbar is the amount of time the event fired in the same tick

the one on bottom is Date.now()
