Third

[limpid hamlet]

WE ARE BACK

[noble apex]

First.

[fleet geyser]

first

oop nvm

[frail estuary]

Fist

[fallow heart]

Redstone consumer component

[sudden folio]

It is no longer possible for two mobs to mount each other simultaneously

[high sable]

last

[limpid hamlet]

so static light doesn't cast shadows
or so i think

[shrewd pivot]

huh what

[fallow heart]

Minecraft:leashable block component

[high sable]

johnathan render dragon is typing

[sudden folio]

Open windows such as inventory, trading, or chat, will now close when you are hurt by a mob

Windows will not close repeatedly if you are attacked multiple times in quick succession

what are peoples thoughts on this?

i feel like people are gonna hate it

[noble apex]

Leashable component...

[noble apex]

Love.

[sudden folio]

really?

[amber zinc]

We hope you have fun with this early look at static block lights! There is still a ton of work to do on the feature, but we wanted to get the core of the tech into your hands as soon as possible. 🙏

[random tusk]

didn't this happen this already?

[noble apex]

The 2nd one? Hell yeah.

[frail estuary]

LEASHEABLE COMPONENT FOR BLOCKS

[ember marsh]

RTX MENTIONED

[neat gulch]

Yoo...

[fallow heart]

The water logging roots thing is nice

[remote sluice]

REDSTONE BABY

[sudden folio]

i suppose the second one makes sense, but the first one seems annoying. if you're being attacked and aksing someone in chat for help it'll close the chat lol

[noble apex]

I would have loved images.

[frail estuary]

BlockComponentRedstoneUpdateEvent

[noble apex]

I guess we have to test it ourselves or docs.

[high sable]

any mention of memory leaks?

[frail estuary]

I’m going to write a letter for Mojang this Christmas

[wooden aspen]

RTX FIX!!!

[untold meteor]

The new splash screen text is what we needed

[high sable]

huh

[random tusk]

this is pretty nice too imo

[fallow heart]

The shovel tag is peak

[lusty ledge]

YAYYYYYY
i am so excited for static light

[frail estuary]

Can someone test where the leash entity spawns with the new leasheable component?

[fallow heart]

What does static block light mean?

[lusty ledge]

i've been checking every preview for this ever since they were announced

light but staic !

[remote sluice]

You know how excited I am for this

[limpid hamlet]

RTX Community when RTX mentioned

[fallow heart]

Doesn’t light emission already do that

[limpid hamlet]

but it's colored now

[remote sluice]

Its actually so fucking crazy official redstone inputs on custom block came.put know my fucjing birthday

[lusty ledge]

STAIC LITBGTGTGT ! !

[remote sluice]

Best birthday present on god

[fallow heart]

You can color lights with out RTX/Vibrant Visuals now?

[fleet geyser]

they should make it an accessibility option cuz i personally hate this

[limpid hamlet]

i don't think so YET

[fallow heart]

Oh

Well it sounds interesting

[sudden folio]

yeah i agree with that

[random tusk]

rtx laready has colored lighting iirc?

[limpid hamlet]

WE HAVE TO TEST

[fallow heart]

It does

I have a rtx card and use it frequently

[junior lion]

Custom Consumers are a thing now 🔥

[spark warren]

RTX has had colored light forever

[trim halo]

Shockingly good Preview this far into the cycle

[fleet geyser]

i swear RTX got discontinued

[spark warren]

It did not

[fleet geyser]

when i tried it; it barely worked and looked horrible

[limpid hamlet]

what next?
Refractions 👀

[fleet geyser]

ah i see

[spark warren]

It's just not getting further new content

[fleet geyser]

ohhhh

makes sense

[untold meteor]

Damn today is a big day for redstone

[fleet geyser]

eror

[lusty ledge]

i do hope this one gets changed eventually

like, this is the first version of it so it makes sense

and i'm extremely excited for this

[ember marsh]

Perhaps we won't get the next cycle?

[remote sluice]

Wait a fucking minute

[warped ocean]

This is the best day ever

[limpid hamlet]

what does it mean btw

[lusty ledge]

colored glass won't change light colour.

[warped ocean]

Only refraction could make my life better

[lusty ledge]

which yeah, that's a separate technical issue that'd require some more work

[limpid hamlet]

point light doesn't either?

[remote sluice]

MCPE-231122

[untold meteor]

Wait what is static lightning

[lusty ledge]

plus if they do it, they'd have to also apply it for pont lights

[amber zinc]

This screenshot is from an older version of the tech, but this still demonstrates the general idea of what is possible with color mixing. 🙂

[idle dune]

yay, redstone update event

[ember marsh]

Legendary

[limpid hamlet]

HOLY WE ARE SO BACk

[lusty ledge]

very cool! looks great!

[spark warren]

It's so good

[noble apex]

It's ok.

[oblique patrol]

There was an error while executing this command!

[noble apex]

I can't lie I'm warming up to the idea from watching clones but...

Im still not a fan.

[untold meteor]

Imagine this with mirror blocks

[noble apex]

Oh my God bruh Mojira bot are you down because mojira is down?

[remote sluice]

Bruh

[ember marsh]

Shh, let him think

[remote sluice]

Take a shot whenever Mojira is down

[idle dune]

this bot is thinking really hard.

[untold meteor]

In 15 mins it won't be thinking

[remote sluice]

Anyways best birthday present thanks mojang

[idle dune]

lmao

[oblique patrol]

There was an error while executing this command!

[untold meteor]

(Interactions expire in 15 mins)

[sleek kestrel]

MCPE-169754 is still not fixed, a shame

[gusty aspen]

Let bot cook

[fleet geyser]

rip bot

[ember marsh]

+1 prepass render target XD

[rotund cypress]

I don't like the change where windows close when hurt by a mob

What if I'm performing extreme clutch manuevers and crafting something that will save my life

[untold meteor]

Isn't that how it has always been tho

[idle dune]

@last warren hey, look at that, the potion stuff will be stable in server 2.4.0

[rotund cypress]

If it was then why would it be mentioned in the changelog

[untold meteor]

Idk I'm confused after looking at the changelog

[steel otter]

@hollow kite so it works with previews too, huh?

[hollow kite]

Hell yeah!

[amber zinc]

We actually fit it into the same g-buffer footprint that we already had. 😉

[lusty ledge]

I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT STATI CLIGHT

i just yelled about it in like every server i'm active in

[untold meteor]

What I remember is if mob hits, window closes
But if you open again and mob hits in quick succession, window doesn't close

[noble apex]

@hollow kite any chance we can also put the msixvc link to the bot or?

http://assets1.xboxlive.com/7/9bcb9729-a886-4ff0-8a1b-2ea27294bdc6/98bd2335-9b01-4e4c-bd05-ccc01614078b/1.21.13027.0.4d3d7571-540b-4ebb-9968-a301639d6c0c/Microsoft.MinecraftWindowsBeta_1.21.13027.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixvc

[remote sluice]

Can someone test if a block with minecraft:redstone_producer updates that component properly

[rotund cypress]

I will continue to wait for the day I secure a victory in a preview

[noble apex]

Downloading the preview right now.

[hollow kite]

I can yeah

[steel otter]

W dev :3

[noble apex]

Your demotion has been delayed.

[hollow kite]

YOOOO LETS GO

[lusty ledge]

also i like how GDK updates are on time

they're now always at 18:00

or, more consistently

[untold meteor]

Powered by Microsoft Store

So we still enjoy peak download speeds

[lusty ledge]

UWP updates were always like 20-30 minutes late

[noble apex]

Testing coloured lighting right now.

[warped ocean]

does static light work with heightmaps like this?

[steel otter]

"peak" 💀

[noble apex]

Yeah...it's quite faint.

[remote sluice]

The colors seem a bit dull

[brittle reef]

yeah

it seems subtle

[ember marsh]

That's vanilla VV tho

[rotund cypress]

Is there a way to set the intensity of the light?

[brittle reef]

but this is just vanilla vv yeah

[remote sluice]

I think there should be a concentration component to the lights

[lusty ledge]

yeah, hopefully that gets changed

[noble apex]

It says via the ligth emission.

[spark warren]

It's probably done that way intentionally for the default resource pack

[remote sluice]

So you can have lights be a faint blue

[rotund cypress]

ah ok, so it's whatever then

better for the colors to be subtle on default imo

[remote sluice]

Or dye everything it touches a vibrant blue

[spark warren]

Default is meant to not be super drastic

Imo just the subtle lighting alone looks way better than it all being the same intense yellow

[rotund cypress]

what color light would the enchanting table emit

[brittle reef]

definitely does

[rotund cypress]

Why does the enchanting table even emit light

[tardy lynx]

magic

[rotund cypress]

It's a diamond and obsidian

[spark warren]

The book probably

[random tusk]

one could hope 😭

[spark warren]

It seems blocks will still need a light level to use this

[foggy acorn]

custom redstone components are now possible??

[spark warren]

Which ig makes sense for gameplay reasons

[noble apex]

Holy shit....

[spark warren]

Point lights

[noble apex]

Ah.

Hehehe

[spark warren]

But

It seems the fallback color matches the point light color

That's a huge W

[noble apex]

I should diff now.

[ember marsh]

Would've been cool if we could overwrite it, but I get why we can't, as then it'd be confusing due to light level also being a core game mechanic driving mob spawns

[spark warren]

Yep

[remote sluice]

Speaking of light level

I have an idea

https://discord.com/channels/1138536747932864532/1344844007963885569

I think A is a lot more realistic

But i just want longer reaching light sources man

[uneven raptor]

Ggs

[noble apex]

I forgot, is this point or static

[limpid hamlet]

point light

point light seems to be more concentrated and have a star shape

[ember marsh]

What if you turn off point lights?

[spark warren]

But yea look at the edge of the point light, the color matches it

[urban oar]

WAAAA

[ember marsh]

Point lights off

[urban oar]

my dreams have been fullfilled

[sacred rapids]

Static lights here now?

[limpid hamlet]

ohHHH that's nice
bc you can turn off point lights from settings and
could be huge for low perf players honestly

[noble apex]

Yeah I see it.

[ember marsh]

Ooo wait, you can now type in chat immediately after pressing /

[spark warren]

Thank god

[spark warren]

Yes

[soft bramble]

Finally

[noble apex]

Ah the account is up next for OreUI

[sacred rapids]

[noble apex]

?

[sacred rapids]

Static lights pretty cool ngl

[limpid hamlet]

we about to have fun HEHE

[random tusk]

huh what did i miss

[remote sluice]

/jira issue:MCPE:231122

[noble apex]

Hang on, brb, gonna change every point light to static light

[spark warren]

There's a really nice roll off on it

[oblique patrol]

There was an error while executing this command!

[idle dune]

pretty

[remote sluice]

Mojira servers are powered by hamster I swear

[ember marsh]

Looks like there are some chunk border bugs when lights don't propagate into nearby chunks if they already have a light of a different color

[spark warren]

Fog light propagation when

please

With 3 cherries on top

[limpid hamlet]

think refractions might come first 🙏

[spark warren]

Prob

[quick oak]

whats new?

ooo static lights

[remote sluice]

Redstone Static lights

[limpid hamlet]

I still hope they add static lights for normal / fancy graphics

[quick oak]

lovely

[forest nova]

spawn egg organisation
it makes me sad, how we cant organise custom ones

[quick oak]

would it be possible tho

[idle dune]

redstone update event

[quick oak]

i see i see

nothing much interesting for me on api stuff tho

[limpid hamlet]

everything is possible

[idle dune]

I mean... stable potion methods is cool

[dark mantle]

@shrewd pivot any idea what does the new ui thing do?

[random tusk]

new acoount settings or smth

[noble apex]

Hermitcraft using static light

[quick oak]

ye thats nice

[noble apex]

I changed the light colours.

[quick oak]

but they still havent fixed effect before event

[idle dune]

which I was questioning why it was in beta since like 1.13.0 the other day...

[limpid hamlet]

can some one tell me what vpn should i use to download from ms store
download speeds suck asf

[quick oak]

that thing still returns translated texts as string

[limpid hamlet]

yo we can have lava lights in VV without insane point light lag

[spark warren]

Nether finally doesn't feel super vanilla game with this

Caves will benefit too

[remote sluice]

Uhh can you apply these custom blocks right?

[noble apex]

Interesting.

[quick oak]

this looks really nice

vibrant visuals gonna be more vibrant

[remote sluice]

Wish the verdant frog lights were more green

[noble apex]

Yeah....coloured lighting right now is a disapointment.

[spark warren]

How so

Personally this was exactly what I was expecting it to be

[noble apex]

The colours of the blocks they chose + it being dependent on light emission.

[soft bramble]

And more visual

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1193471621181227049.gif?size=160&name=cat+sunset

[remote sluice]

.

[fallow heart]

r/chargeyourphone

[spark warren]

I mean that's why it's customizable (the colors)

Default is gonna be subtle anyway

[noble apex]

Me when I'm giving feedback on the default look since not everyone can or wants to use resource packs.

This is not the fault of the tech team but the VV design team.

[brittle reef]

would it be possible for static lights to be able to interact with pbr like point lights do

[ember marsh]

Naturally, without a sign out button

[spark warren]

Very possible. Hope they consider it

[fleet geyser]

can’t be bothered 💔

[brittle reef]

that would be great

[fleet geyser]

running on fumes

[soft bramble]

https://discord.gg/minecraftfeedback

[forest nova]

wait so what's static light (im stupid and tired) is it just coloured lighting?

[noble apex]

Yes.

[fallow heart]

Seems so

[quick oak]

https://tenor.com/view/pc-overload-computer-overheat-in-fire-gif-7521895808184892476

[fallow heart]

But VV only as well it seems

[spark warren]

I'm not faulting you for that. It's good to get feedback but their design with default was to be subtle and not obstructive

[forest nova]

that's pretty cool

[spark warren]

So it's likely why it is that way

[forest nova]

expected that

[random tusk]

the removal of that button had to happen at some point sadly didnt it

[soft bramble]

It's really cool imo

[lusty ledge]

I think it's very good for some blocks.

[fallow heart]

I might make my pack compatible with VV because of that though

All my light blocks can get colored in VV

[noble apex]

Lava and amethyst are my favourite.

[lusty ledge]

enchanting table, soul campfire, redstone torch are good

[spark warren]

Colored floodfill is a great option cuz it's cheap and looks good

[soft bramble]

Looks like hytale if you ask me

[brittle reef]

point lights definitely look a lot better

[soft bramble]

Really cool tho

[brittle reef]

now that they dont have yellow static light

[spark warren]

Yep

[soft bramble]

Pretty

[lusty ledge]

yeah that'll be the big improvement for sure

[noble apex]

I need to know how they decide what is static and isnt.

[spark warren]

Based on shadows. Full blocks cannot cast shadows

So they don't have point lights

Torches, lanterns and end rods will have them

Cuz they can cast shadows

[ember marsh]

I wonder if this can be solved by using a different attenuation. So not linear like in vanilla but something more realistic, which is much brighter closer to the light source

[forest nova]

it's like glitchy it seem :(
my packs with VV compatibility randomly give some ppl an error if their device cant run it, and makes it all unusable

[noble apex]

Lichen is too white.

[lusty ledge]

I think the specific colours could use improvements for vanilla but like
i'm just so glad static lights are finally here

[noble apex]

Ok...what about non full static

Why those.

[spark warren]

Wym?

Like why use point lights on non full blocks?

[noble apex]

Glowberries use static, they're not a full block.

[spark warren]

Iirc their point light doesn't cast shadows

Actually

No

It's because there's ALOT of them

And point lights get laggy in large numbers

That's my best guess

[noble apex]

The humble torch spam.

[amber zinc]

These are definitely not our final/inteded colors. This one is on me. The JSON values we have are in the wrong space. Need to be squared or sqrt'd. 😅 That's why they are sort of muted.

[limpid hamlet]

yes you are right they did do that for a time
and they disabled it :(

[sleek kestrel]

is the point light thing ever coming to VV or just a side thing

[amber bear]

if all the resources we received throughout this cycle 1.21.130 remain stable in 1.21.140, we will receive many good things.

[limpid hamlet]

they are coming

[spark warren]

Both lights are included with eachother

[noble apex]

Oh yeah, I know they're not the final. I'm just saying, first impressions matter.

[sleek kestrel]

well, let's hope they can also optimize VV with this addition too

[soft bramble]

Fr

[alpine zinc]

I cant start the game It keeps crashing bc I imported a rp

[warped ocean]

vibrant visuals is suppose to be super vanilla so it's normal that they choose very basic and desaturated colors so they won't mess with existing buildings and worlds

[inland egret]

Happy Preview Day

[sleek kestrel]

Not runing VV at 120fps with a 4060 is pretty bad

[warped ocean]

that is a very colorful preview

[spark warren]

Simple math error

[noble apex]

Wouldnt it make more sense for an experiment to...you know, experiment with things first before settling down.

[ember marsh]

Berries are also kind of large for a point light. They're the size of a full block in terms of dimensions, although much smaller in volume

[soft bramble]

O shut

[noble apex]

Is this something we can change on our end ie change the hex or?

[sleek kestrel]

if mojang ever fix MCPE-169754, they can whatever the f they want with the game I will not care lol

[noble apex]

Portal blocks too?

[amber bear]

VERY happy

[spark warren]

Likely not cuz it's an internal math error

You could probably saturate the values a ton

But then once it's fixed

[lusty ledge]

ooo makes sense
overall, great job on the static lights. This will certainly join my list of "best recent Minecraft features", i absolutely love how it looks.

[spark warren]

You'd have to revert it

[lusty ledge]

i've been waiting so long for colored lighting in vanilla

[vestal iris]

Vibrant Visuals 2

[lusty ledge]

this genuinley is so exciting to me

[noble apex]

My folders get nuked every week so...I dont care.

[ember marsh]

Yeah. Their reflections look weird with point lights on low roughness blocks

[limpid hamlet]

more like 1.1

[vestal iris]

Let's see how long colored lighting stays in experimental preview haha

[spark warren]

Do hope for directional lightmapping and fog light propagation tho 🙏

[amber zinc]

Yeah, especially if you're using our JSON as a starting point.

[soft bramble]

Is that possible with rtx?

[noble apex]

https://tenor.com/view/i-request-elaboration-white-vision-paul-bettany-wandavision-i-want-an-explanation-gif-22928362

[spark warren]

It's not needed for RTX

RTX has GI fog

[junior lion]

Can anyone test whether if this is fixed?

[spark warren]

And GI influences normals

[vestal iris]

Yes it is fixed, for me at least

[soft bramble]

Wasn't that disabled in brtx default?

Though it was bugged lol

[alpine zinc]

does anyone know how to fix this?

[vestal iris]

In fact, they actually completely fixed the cursor moving during gameplay in the Preview
But in 1.21.122, it still moves

[junior lion]

Great. Hopefully soon a hotfix with it as well 🤞

[spark warren]

No. Neither are

[warped ocean]

i hope we will get it

directional lightmapping is really needed

[soft bramble]

Colored shadows when

[noble apex]

That is...only one face emits light?

[amber zinc]

It should be a matter of squaring each channel value that already exists.

[warped ocean]

directional lightmapping and refraction

[vestal iris]

I'm ngl, that light on the ground doesn't look good

[lusty ledge]

also, static light is blocked by tinted glass like block light should be, while point lights aren't so you can still do the fun directional point lights but also can actually use them without it and have it still look good

[amber zinc]

Technically I think it's 2.2, but squaring should be close enough. It's not a big deal either way. I'd encourage people to author their own light colors to their own liking.

[spark warren]

Will test it eventually 🫡

But persona 5 tho....

Tough deal here

[noble apex]

Thank you AI

[lusty ledge]

i think i already have my favorite feature of 2026

[fallow heart]

I’m probably gonna make it a separate rp so that people who can run VV can download it and all that

[warped ocean]

aajab is AI?

[amber zinc]

lol wut?

[soft bramble]

Or a subpack

[fallow heart]

Aijabrams

[noble apex]

Oh no lol. I used AI to write a Py script for me to square

[spark warren]

Peak intersection

[fallow heart]

Yeah that to

[soft bramble]

I think he is

He is copilot

[warped ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/watching-you-observe-seeing-i-saw-you-gif-5740825

[noble apex]

lol...white water.

[soft bramble]

Milk

[spark warren]

Is it only hexcode or can I also do RGB in 0-255 (or 0-1)

[noble apex]

I have no idea how accurate GPT is

[lusty ledge]

everything looks so much better without the yellow blocklight around point lights

[noble apex]

Vanilla: f9c69b
GPT: f39a5e

It does look brighter fwiw

[wheat bronze]

It's pow2, so simply squaring channels

[noble apex]

Thanks Matt. ❤️

[spark warren]

Figured I'd ask cuz I much prefer using RGB

[alpine zinc]

Why does the preview keep crashing I cant open the preview anymore I reinstall it but still same issue

[ember marsh]

0-255 rgb works, according to the schema in the docs

[spark warren]

Ok nice

If I can keep myself off persona for... not another 10 hour session I'll probably play with it 😂

[ember marsh]

Hm, I thought the issue was with gamma correction, which uses 2.2 gamma. Unless ya'll are using pow2 as gamma?

Lava looks a bit dim this preview

[noble apex]

Yeah, i just to pow4 looks so much better

[junior lion]

In my opinion it looks better 🤭

[wheat bronze]

Normally yes, but in this case it was pow2 😅

[junior lion]

But probably not intended cause it should give out light

[idle dune]

I do not agree lol

[spark warren]

I still don't understand the decision to not make lava very emissive

[noble apex]

Finally...no more figuring out if it's lichen or diamonds.

[spark warren]

Glow lichen imo is 110% too intense

This is a default VV issue for me tho

[noble apex]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-meme-trying-not-to-laugh-laugh-homeless-gif-9458928528704746136

[ember marsh]

pruprle

[jolly shell]

Mmmm color

[noble apex]

This is not the purple I chose in my colour picker.

then again I have two different monitors

[ember marsh]

U need to square the color after choosing it in color picker

[quick oak]

oh- eugh what the hell

[jolly shell]

i dont like how the lights are diamond shaped. i want my spherical falloffs!! /lh

[noble apex]

I chose the colour then squared it then put it in the picker

[limpid hamlet]

they look better with static

nice update
going to sleep

[slow thicket]

This is a really nice addition, but I didn't think we'd get it so soon.

[forest nova]

is that vanilla?

or res pack

[noble apex]

This is pow4

[forest nova]

oh word

[spring depot]

damn im so glad they didnt stop with graphics improvements

[amber zinc]

Can't stop, won't stop

[noble apex]

Pow2

[slow thicket]

Are point lights still experimental? It's been a while since I've paid attention to the VV side of updates.

[noble apex]

Yes.

[tardy lynx]

I was confused about what propogates_power did since it didn't seem to work (i was using propagates_power) and then realised they spelt propagate wrong

[noble apex]

Ruh roh.

@inland egret is known/will change or is this a changelog issue?

[wheat bronze]

It should match the color from color pickers 😅

[noble apex]

0% bloom.

[ember marsh]

Ah whoops, I misinterpreted where the issue was 😅

[lusty ledge]

Like, i think this build still looks better with the tinted glass directing the lighting, but it actually works without it now

[ember marsh]

That reminds me of lego batman for some reason

The colors

Looks like you're about to fight the joker

[tardy lynx]

does anyone know what the difference between power being conducted and propagated is

[noble apex]

@amber zinc Any chance we can untie light emission from the component?

[lusty ledge]

good, i love how LEGO Batman 1 looks.

like the art direction in that game is genuinley so good, a LEGO game has no right having art direction as good as that.

visually still holds up because of this, despite how old the game is now.

[noble apex]

Oh cool, with the OreUI, you can see int he background your settings change.

[lusty ledge]

I'm so glad we get to actually discuss these changes, like static light with the devs here.

both in terms of it being good to give feedback directly, and they get to see how excited i am for static light

[warped ocean]

auto exposure ruins new lightning for me

[tardy lynx]

redstone_conductor is ignored for consumers
propogates_power seems to work the same as redstone_conductor would normally

[remote sluice]

What is propagates_power

Is that something new

[tardy lynx]

it's not making much sense to me right now
it seems like it's similar to making a block conduct redstone except it cuts off wire in a different way

[noble apex]

Is the new redstone stuff not just comparators?

[tardy lynx]

no

[pastel iron]

Custom blocks can be powered by redstone

[remote sluice]

Static Lights + Redstone Power means my lamps about to go triple platinum in the streets

[lusty ledge]

i don't think i'll be able to switch off VV anymore.

static lights are just too good

they don't hurt performance like point lights

and look amazing

[sleek kestrel]

what's going on with panorama pngs

[noble apex]

Oh literally

  "minecraft:leashable": {
    "offset": [
      0,
      8,
      0
    ]
  }

Yeah it works.

Dope

8,8,8

[pastel iron]

Pretty sure the offset for fences is 0, 12, 0

[noble apex]

Oh, no content error...but it clamps it to 16.

[tardy lynx]

conductor: false, propagates: false | conductor: true, propagates: false
conductor: false, propagates: true | conductor: true, propagates: true

I feel like conductor: false, propagates: true shouldn't be possible

[ember marsh]

Different panorama?

[noble apex]

Oh no I get it, they reordered the panorama it seems.

Anyone else notice that when powering a golden rail the texture shifts a bit?

[slow thicket]

Is that in the Nether?

[noble apex]

No.

It's a sepia effect I added to cold biomes.

[lusty ledge]

oh dear
Xbox does not work this preview.

your break/place blocks sometimes get stuck

so like, you'll click to place a block, it'll keep placing until you switch hotbar slot

same with breaking

not consistently either

[unkempt badge]

is there any difference when the redstone power is going up? like powering the bottom grass block

[noble apex]

Beacon beams need to have coloured lighting.

[lusty ledge]

i think beacons should be blue rather than yellow. and then yeah, it'd be neat if the beam itself had colours or if stained glass affected light colour.

[tardy lynx]

I think anything in those screenshots preventing power from going down also prevented it going up

[lusty ledge]

candles don't have colored lights (which, personally i wish they did)
but you can pretend they do by putting a colored torch under them.

[noble apex]

just edit the pack for testing/demo purposes

I still think we should be able to decouple the brightness from the actual light emission.

That looks really cool

[lusty ledge]

Recreated that image

or, as close as i could get to it

[noble apex]

Stealing this.

[spark warren]

The current iteration has some occlusion?

Interesting

Wait does vanilla blocklight also behave that way?

[amber bear]

They fixed the shovel tag, now they just need to fix the sound of the axe and hoe being used.

[spark warren]

Cuz I swear it doesn't

[lusty ledge]

as in?

[spark warren]

Oh wait is that tinted glass on top

[lusty ledge]

yeah

[spark warren]

Nvm then

[lusty ledge]

this works like vanilla blocklight

but colorful

and fun

[spark warren]

I would've not had tinted glass on top

So it's as close as possible

[lusty ledge]

well thats what the left image is for :(

but then the light spills out

idk what block was used on top in the original image

but the light doesn't spill out there

[spark warren]

There isn't one in the original

It's a fully open space

[noble apex]

There is clearly glass no?

Are we kiijubg at the same image?

[spark warren]

Not in the one posted by mojang

There's no glass here

[noble apex]

AJ literally posted one with glass.

Are you using Matt's?

[spark warren]

Did he?

I didn't see that one

[lusty ledge]

its the one i replied to

[noble apex]

Literally pinned.

That too

[lusty ledge]

the reason i sent 2 versions is because it didn't look completely right either way

[spark warren]

Ig there is some glass or something there

Or it's some test environment with a dev tool block or something

[stiff kraken]

I see it now

It's tinted glass

That explains the lines

[stiff kraken]

Btw, can't wait to see more examples of coloured lighting at play, and especially can't wait to see it be released. Any comments for what you guys are planning next?

[lusty ledge]

actually i think i know what my issue was here

the tinted glass ceiling is supposed to be 1 block up

with tinted glass also covering the upper block of the walls

more accurate recreation

[noble apex]

What is an action set

Ah, must be for their docs tooling come to think of it.

OMG yes.Finally

[stiff kraken]

Anything in those files?

[neat sable]

Hello

[wheat bronze]

I also made the walls of the second layer tinted glass in the original screenshot 😛
...and customized the tinted glass texture in the for the screenshot to make it more see-thru

[amber bear]

The is_shovel tag has been completely fixed; it now performs all the actions of the vanilla version with sound and also removes durability like in the vanilla version.

Now all that's left is to fix the is_axe tag to make the sound and remove durability when using the item in a log, and the is_hoe tag, which doesn't make a sound or remove durability when used.

[idle dune]

fixed? it was supposed to do that before?

[lime rampart]

The is_shovel tag change is versioned right? If not that would break any add-on that manually fixed the durability and sound.

[chrome skiff]

yep, action set is just tooling stuff

[noble apex]

I don't think tags are versioned.

[tardy lynx]

ig it would be possible but I doubt they would

[quasi creek]

any info there? idk if it means that from one element in UI, you can insert some bindings to other element -(using source_control_name)

[lime rampart]

Well, that's an issue.

[lusty ledge]

gladelight

[lusty ledge]

also yes matt i noticed the second layer of glass thing and corrected it here :3

[neat sable]

?

[wheat bronze]

Hopefully the blending and light accumulation works out nicely or close to expected. Lighting should accumulate/get brighter when lights of different colors are overlapped.

Lights of the same color + intensity won't get brighter though 😅

[spark warren]

Wow

(With a point light)

[noble apex]

Need to decouple light level with brightness.

[quasi creek]

@shrewd pivot nvm bruh,

sibling scope:
panel1:
panel2:
panel3:
(you can grab some bindings from panel4)
panel4:
sibling_scope: true

ancestor scope:
panel1:
panel2
panel3:
panel4:
(you can grab some bindings from panel1, or does it go just ip until it finds value you look for)
ancestor_scope: true

[spark warren]

This is quite awesome

[quasi creek]

interesting way, basically it eliminates same names, so you can just dive to its parents, previously you could do the same but each element must have different name

[spark warren]

Yea this is fire

[noble apex]

21 fps

[spark warren]

(My pack doesn't use local lighting files yet so it's neat it still works

[spark warren]

The fire has point lights so makes sense

I never moved to the new syntax yet

[neat sable]

What's this user interface change

Because no one's talking about it

[amber bear]

I used version 1.21.110 format.

[shrewd pivot]

Does this work on a referenced element?

[amber bear]

But I think this isn't versioned.

[neat sable]

?

[prisma briar]

happy static light day

[lusty ledge]

even very simple stuff like this is just fun

[frail estuary]

Clicked the wrong gif huh

[noble apex]

Anyone test moving static light

[noble apex]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-vtuber-lapwing-ryan-gosling-perfection-gif-5822215988145616004

[lusty ledge]

that is something that feels like it needs work.

if you push a static light, you get flashing lights. And it first swaps back to yellow block light when you break/move the light source.

[prisma briar]

this is super cool

[lusty ledge]

yeah. You can do so much more now that you aren't limited to "no light" or "yellow light" (or white in fancy)

different light colours completely change how a build feels

[prisma briar]

Ahhhh I can't wait to test I want to get on pc
eepy very early morning

[quasi creek]

yeah I guess? I am not fully sure wdym

[shrewd pivot]

the thing with [email protected]

[noble apex]

Weird.

[noble apex]

Who needs colour grading am I right.

[lusty ledge]

red :3

i can finally make fully red builds without using red blocks.

and it feels completely different when using different torches !

[stark sorrel]

Added the creative_reach field to minecraft:kinetic_weapon item component

• Defines the reach used when the user is in Creative Mode
• Defaults to reach if unspecified
  Added the creative_reach field to minecraft:piercing_weapon item component
• Defines the reach used when the user is in Creative Mode
• Defaults to reach if unspecified

This seems really redundant. I wish they'd just make a reach component

[noble apex]

that would mean they acknowledge the combat update

[marsh escarp]

surely

[amber zinc]

Doc updates for static lights are live: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/vibrantvisuals/lightingcustomization?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable#static-lights

[remote sluice]

You know i have a colored lamps addon

I can share it with you when I update it i think you'd like it

[lusty ledge]

sure !
i probably will given how much i love messing around with this stuff.

this is why i really hope we get colored candle light.

sure it messes with some existing builds but it allows so much creativity, 16 colours at 4 light levels would go a long way here.

[eternal plank]

I Love y’all. Cant wait to see this get better than basic coloured flood-fill

[quasi creek]

probably yeah

if siblings works this way why it wouldnt

[abstract bluff]

I'll miss that second post

[noble apex]

Wouldnt it be funny if I deleted the wrong post.

[hollow kite]

Imagine

[abstract bluff]

Should've

[unique ocean]

Me too. So much history gone

[abstract bluff]

Probably a thousand messages or more

[unique ocean]

I’d wager ten thousand. The cure to cancer may have been there

[hollow kite]

Me trying to implement this and forget I had the bot on

[abstract bluff]

Damn I gotta read changelogs more often, minecraft:redstone_consumer is awesome

can't wait for it to be stable

[molten crow]

I'm not sure if this was added this update or if I missed this recently but the @minecraft/server-admin module now has 2 more parameters being allowJoin and disallowJoin. Following this, the server.properties for BDS now has a new property called allow-player-joining: true.

• When set to 'false' players will not be able to join the server unless explicitly allowed by scripting (via AsyncPlayerJoinBeforeEvent)

import { beforeEvents } from '@minecraft/server-admin';

beforeEvents.asyncPlayerJoin.subscribe(async ({
    allowJoin, disallowJoin, disconnect, isValid, name, persistentId
}) => {
    // Add code here..
});```

-# If this was something I missed, please let me know.

[rancid flicker]

what server-admin does?

[molten crow]

You can use it for transfering players to other servers or to stop players from being able to join before they're allowed to download the resource packs.

The main purpose I see with the update to asyncPlayerJoin and the new server property is for features like user bans or allowlists.

Though normally you would use @minecraft/server-net to fetch the player from a Database and check if they're banned that way or have them load until you've been able to fetch their saved player data from your external Database and so on...

[amber bear]

I hope it stays at 1.21.140

[noble apex]

Hopefully Discord doesn't compress the shit out of this.

[molten crow]

lava and amethyst static light

[noble apex]

It's giving Dungeons vibes.

[frail estuary]

Yeah

[molten crow]

The colour mixing is so good.

Just messed around with the coloured torches!

[prisma briar]

[stiff kraken]

How do caves look

Near lava

[eternal plank]

How such Vibrant colours.

Every one of mine are extremely washed.

Especially on Grass.

Nether Portal doesn’t even look purple unless I place a WHITE block nearby.

90% of colours don’t show on grass.

Wayyyy too washed out

[noble apex]

The colours in this week are muted.

They accidentally sqrt instead of pow2

[eternal plank]

Layman’s terms?

No idea what either of those are.

And the better question is - can I fix it?

Or just wait

[noble apex]

Yes.

Just take all the lights, convert from hex to rgb, square each channel.

[eternal plank]

I feel dumb.

Like literally get the square root of each value and use that instead? So like 255 would be 16?

[noble apex]

No, square them, not square root them.

[eternal plank]

The hell does that mean?! 😭 🤣

[noble apex]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

[eternal plank]

I see.
Seems basic enough though.

So basically color channels are screwed and you have to triple whatever value you’re intending to use.

Nvm more than triple but yeh

[limpid hamlet]

full light blocks got point light back

[stark sorrel]

*square

[eternal plank]

255*255 is the same as 255 square

Or am I not understanding

I was mistaken, thinking of the example.

I meant multiply the value you want, by itself.

[barren mason]

owww cool vv udpate

[limpid hamlet]

em do yall have tis bug??

[prisma briar]

[south cedar]

do shadows work with them

[eternal plank]

What pack is this? That lava texture is actually nice.

Good color match too for static light

[eternal plank]

Sometimes is an overstatement.

Now I Cannot play without using MnK.

[glass ferry]

FINALLY!

Finally they fixed this too (this one has been VERY annoying).

[molten crow]

So when does tinted glass make colored lighting from sea lanterns or glowstone?

[noble apex]

Hm?

[molten crow]

Well I placed red stained glass infront of a sea lantern and glowstone but the light stays its normal color

It doesn't change the lighting to red, so I was wondering when we'll get that or if that's just something that isn't in vanilla vv

[noble apex]

They said in the changelog glass will not affect the light colour.

[molten crow]

but why... sad day

[lusty ledge]

I mean, it's the first publically released iteration of this.
Hopefully they add that at some point

it's interesting that they actually mentioned this in the changelog in the first place, usually a feature not existing wouldn't be mentioned.

[eternal plank]

Remember - a dev did mention stained glass changing light colour and how it’s a challenge for memory and performance.

Probably something that could be coming. Assuming the issues are resolved.

[noble apex]

More memory leaks please.

[lusty ledge]

Yeah. I really hope they manage to figure it out as we need more ways to customize the lights

more ways to do fun looking lights is good

[prisma briar]

[gloomy radish]

Been playing dungeons, and this looks like a screenshot from it

Does anyone have a replacement local_lighting.json with the squaring completed they could send me? I'd rather not do it manually or use ChatGPT if someone has already done it.

i have a python script...

Thank you.

I’m really bad at Python, despite a lot of trying

Best update fr

[raven axle]

This preview won't even open on my pc it crashes before even opening

Does it happen to anyone

[fallow heart]

hasn't happened to me

[remote sluice]

I think there should an additional couple properties added to onRedstoneUpdate that are:
powerDirections:
Returns an array of all directions that are actively transmitting a power to this block. powerDirections.(insert direction here) returns true or false depending if said direction is giving an redstone signal or not

powerLevel.(insert direction here) also likewise should return the power level of the block in said direction if it is actively giving power to this block

[tardy lynx]

Being able to get the power coming from each direction would be great but powerDirections would be redundant since you could check whether the power level in a direction is more than 0

[remote sluice]

Oh yeah duh

[alpine zinc]

Why does the preview keep crashing? I cant play it. Is there away to fix this?

[lime rampart]

From what I've tested it crashes when you have improved input response enabled. You have to disable that manually by editing the options file.

[alpine zinc]

yeah it works thanks. What a dumb bug

and I also found another bug XD

this game bruh

[molten crow]

I couldn't open my game today 👍

Had to reinstall to fix it

My friend was having the same issue on stable while I had mine on preview

[molten crow]

My game is crashing again... WHY!?!?!? 😭

[lime rampart]

@molten crow

[molten crow]

It started working again by itself.. thanks though. I'll make sure to have this turned off

[remote sluice]

I run into this issue when making local_lighting/local_lighting.json

[prisma briar]

use 1.21.120

[remote sluice]

Ok

[raven axle]

My game is always crashing im this preview. I reinstalled it a lot of times and it won't open

[raven axle]

How do you turn it off without opening the game

[molten crow]

I mean I just went in game and turned it off when it was working again but go to:
%appdata%\Minecraft Bedrock\Users\Shared\games\com.mojang\minecraftpe
and open the options.txt file

Then look for gfx_vsync and set it to 0 I think

I think that's the input response shit

There's also ctrl_improvedInputResponse:0 so just double check that too

I haven't done this fix so I wouldn't know tbh.. I just know where it is

[raven axle]

Thanks 👍🏻

[remote sluice]

:(

@lusty ledge hey uh you wanna test my colored lamps addon for me pretty please
