Happy preview day \o/

[lean rivet]

smh where emoji in post title

[split gate]

hi

[rancid zinc]

add banana

[stuck veldt]

banger update my dudes and also rip bot

[turbid lichen]

Can probably mimic the delay to item pickup from spawned items that vanilla items dropping through loot tables normally have

[austere cedar]

[stuck veldt]

also 2 minecraft grass blocks as a thumbnail i guess lmao

[rapid ivy]

PARTIES

YOO?

[timid galleon]

SEED IN SCRIPT!!

[calm lily]

Party time 🕺🏼

[harsh gazelle]

Bot committed die

[turbid lichen]

What is the benefit of seed being available in scripts? I guess servers might be able to use it?

[rapid ivy]

Pause screen settings button

[rancid zinc]

hooray

[harsh gazelle]

Finally listening to community feedback about dumb marketplace things

[sour crystal]

some internal stuff going on?

[stuck veldt]

Changed Settings button on the Game Menu back to being a text button
LMAOOOOOOOOOO

[barren iron]

Nether biomes and world seed in scripting, this is epic :0

[rancid zinc]

all it took was public shaming

[rapid ivy]

YOOO ITEM PICKUP EVENT

[lavish rock]

Quite useful for my use case.

[stuck veldt]

im screaming holy it took this long

[harsh gazelle]

minecraft:village_type and and nether biomes are cool

[lean rivet]

java when they don't like something:

[sour crystal]

They have generate so much new schemeas that i am lost in it

[turbid lichen]

If you can't say what it is then it's not real

[harsh gazelle]

Subtitles are cool as well

I need a picture of them because I’m in school

[lean rivet]

are ddui schemas also new?

[lavish rock]

Using noisejs to perform certain functions at certain coordinates depending on the noise.

[sour crystal]

yea there were some changes and additions mainly

[rancid zinc]

good preview

[split wave]

happy preview day

[gaunt torrent]

see you next year ig lol

[harsh gazelle]

Crazy

I hope they are json because I hate js

[zenith light]

Happy preview

[rancid zinc]

unfortunately they are json

[languid moon]

Can anyone tell me if the minecraft:connection trait was already moved to stable?

[lean rivet]

what is the repo that these are in again?

[languid moon]

Or the minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction state?

[fading kestrel]

Happy preview!

[sour crystal]

https://github.com/bedrock-apis/bds-docs/commit/d42f86fe7b15530ddb300aeabd8f108411176347

[languid moon]

Seems strange to release the connection_rule component without those, also.

[harsh gazelle]

Peak

[gaunt torrent]

??

[harsh gazelle]

Banned

[languid moon]

Also, does Nether biome replacement not require any experiments?

[gaunt torrent]

you can't access to the closed actions link

[dusk crescent]

Happy preview day!

[harsh gazelle]

[gaunt torrent]

might be good if mojangsters fix that too

this one works but not the other

[dusk crescent]

What is onEntity?

[turbid lichen]

wasn't that added last week and we thought it was a typo lol

[solid tinsel]

Yeah!! Settings before Browse Add-Ons!!!!! 🥳

Now two buttons at the bottom look goofy

[turbid lichen]

Yeah, they should add the "Browse Add-ons!" button there with an image!

[lean rivet]

subtitles in top right corner is an intresting design choice

[harsh gazelle]

Really?

[lean rivet]

yeah

[solid tinsel]

Where party system!?

I see nothing lol

[lean rivet]

probaly waiting rollout

[solid tinsel]

Fair

I shall wait

[turbid lichen]

What happens with custom sounds?

[solid tinsel]

I tend to skip over the notes at the top if it was there lol

[dusk crescent]

Nether custom biomes in December

Isn’t it peak?

[turbid lichen]

Are there lang keys in the text file for sounds?

[languid moon]

Finally, onEntity could be interesting. There are actually a few different ways block events can be triggered from entities. I'm excited to see if they all work.

[rapid ivy]

Now they gotta move the browse addons at the bottom

[stray dome]

Ohhh onEntity

[gaunt torrent]

should definetely be bottom right of the screen

[languid moon]

Do we have any APIs to hook into the subtitle system?

I'm huge on accessibility; I'd love to get started on that.

[solid tinsel]

EWWWWWW

[pallid zealot]

Not at the moment AFAIK but the feature is designed to be creator compatible. I'll see if I can find details.

[solid tinsel]

EWWWWWW

[twilit jungle]

I broke this preview.

[solid tinsel]

cool but weird placement

[languid moon]

I don't mind waiting. I'd just prefer this feature not launch for Vanilla content without stable APIs for creators, too.

[turbid lichen]

Hoping this is something that is just a new line in sound_definitions.json

[fast lake]

Happy preview 🙂

[gaunt torrent]

yeah the closed caption feature is kinda random

placing a block says you are breaking once

[languid moon]

Y'all Mojangsters have a good holiday break.

[dusk crescent]

Play some good games ❤️

[solid tinsel]

What would be the purpose of getting the seed?

[hoary canyon]

the naming for this is a bit strange, but glad we finally have this back

[harsh gazelle]

Interesting

[dusk crescent]

What is onEntity though?

[hoary canyon]

Blocks can handle the entity execute_event_on_home_block event via custom components in scripting, being beta features

[languid moon]

Entity definitions can call events on blocks.

[gaunt torrent]

lol

[lavish rock]

How so?

[dusk crescent]

OH!

The pale garden thing or bee thing

Lovely!

[hoary canyon]

idk, onEntity just feels a bit odd to me

[dusk crescent]

onEntityReach

[harsh gazelle]

I imagine that’s what it’ll be

[languid moon]

Some of these are hardcoded. I'm curious to see if minecraft:raid_garden can fire minecraft:on_raided.

[solid tinsel]

Placing block says block broken but breaking sea lantern says something falls on a block 🤣

[hoary canyon]

I assume this is for any event triggered from an entity, so that would be inaccurate

we had this capability with HCF before, but it never made it into custom components until now

[gaunt torrent]

yeah it's reallt reallly random and not fully fonctionnal

[languid moon]

I'm a little surprised the API isn't structured for custom events in general.

[mellow python]

is the subtitles top right of the screen?

[languid moon]

I mean, blocks should be able to call events on other blocks.

[mellow python]

or can we change the position?

[lavish rock]

But it isnt.

[gaunt torrent]

nope

[solid tinsel]

yeah.. i wish it were in parity with java in the bottom right

[sour crystal]

I am free if anyone whats to test the party system, but i am not sure how to join/create party

[harsh gazelle]

Yeah

[dusk crescent]

I have to try it out myself honestly

[languid moon]

I guess for now we'll have to summon an entity inside a block, set its home position to that block, and then call the event?

[rancid jackal]

What's onEntity?

[twilit jungle]

I can’t select anything in that panel. Dunno if they actually broke the ui

[rapid ivy]

il test on ios

they make it look like 1.26 lol

[twilit jungle]

It is 1.26, trust

[lean rivet]

erm why do we need this screen mojang

[rapid ivy]

ik it technically is but yeah

[lavish rock]

DDUI!

[lean rivet]

it feels like they accidentaly left it in tho

[autumn kettle]

THIS IS ANOTHER BUTTON

[fluid stream]

custom chests now fully possible with onEntity?

[rapid ivy]

they left a menu testing screen in there lol

[lavish rock]

No no, its a test modal.

[mellow python]

wait what Actionformdata and Modalformdata combined? We also need that

[lavish rock]

Likely to help creators get started.

[rapid ivy]

how to access it

[harsh gazelle]

Where is that?

[rancid jackal]

Did they update server ui?

[languid moon]

No. There is no way to open the inventory UI on a player.

[rapid ivy]

it’s not a new form guys

[lavish rock]

Thats coming later.

[lean rivet]

In ddui files

[harsh gazelle]

Bedrock samples? Because I can’t find the DDUI files in bedrock samples?

[rapid ivy]

custom chests would be so peak

[harsh gazelle]

Alr

[gaunt torrent]

is there any more ore ui related stuff ?

[fluid stream]

what exactly does it do then?

[sour crystal]

does it has some kind of screen UI? Maybe i could try to invoke it in API

i mean Screen ID not ui

[robust carbon]

first

[lean rivet]

minecraft:modal_form

[rapid ivy]

where abouts is the party screen

[empty condor]

help i'm stuck

[solid tinsel]

oooooohhhhh

[gaunt torrent]

what?

[robust carbon]

this reminds me of essential mod xd

[gaunt torrent]

yeah lmao it's broken

[lean rivet]

oh interesting depening how you accses smth, it changes how it looks

[rose gust]

Can't wait for the stable version to be released.

[empty condor]

divided into "featured experiences" and "creator experiences", i'll definitely prefer creator xp

[crystal scarab]

Epic last preview of the year!

[empty condor]

how can you access this

[eager solstice]

so this is our hibernation food?

for the next four weeks

[rose gust]

Because of this block update I was really looking forward to it so my add-on could be resumed.

[lean rivet]

modify oreui, replace bed/death screen with this screen

[empty condor]

ok so that was internal

[lean rivet]

yeah

[gaunt torrent]

anything else with ore ui?

than this

[empty condor]

but those nonsense paddings are still not fixed, probably to dirty promote oreui?

[lean rivet]

no, unless you count ddui getting smth called extentsions

[visual comet]

WHAT

World.seed

no way

[sour crystal]

tried with api and no luck

[tepid vigil]

"onEntity" poor choice of name, tho there is hardly a fitting name without being long
onEntityTriggerEventOnHomeBlock

[autumn kettle]

i feel like "onEntityEvent" would be apt

[lean rivet]

i just thoguht why is part 15 people if lan wolrd supports max 8 people

[autumn kettle]

though, we already have onBeforeDurabilityDamage, anything is possible

[hoary canyon]

onEntityDefinitionEvent could also be more accurate to the world event

[sour crystal]

What file is that? whats the path?

[lavish rock]

The name doesnt really matter as long as its descriptive.

[autumn kettle]

onEntity isnt really descriptive though

[hoary canyon]

nvm, apparently that was changed to dataDrivenEntityTrigger

[autumn kettle]

on entity what? what is the entity doing?

[lavish rock]

Not saying inEntity is descriptive.

Referring to "it might be too long"

[autumn kettle]

oh yeah fair

[lean rivet]

resource_packs/vanilla_1.21.130/ddui/root/modal_form.json

[sour crystal]

time to create own resource_pack then

[autumn kettle]

anyone have a sc of where the settings button is now?

[lean rivet]

it's an file in xboxgames foler so it woudl amke sense if api or smth like that cannot accsess it

[marble raptor]

Finally

[sour crystal]

yea i guess experimental things might be disabled by default for vanilla forlders or something, i will try creating own resource pack and setting up script for it as well

[lavish rock]

Btw, thank you @split wave and team for discouraging it while still enabling it.

This is one of the rare instance I've seen you guys disclosing this instead of limiting it. Curious to know the reason for the discouragement though.

[marble raptor]

I don't understand, what is this for? Block-entity?

[lavish rock]

Bees entering hive, Creaking connecting to a heart

[marble raptor]

Ah yes, I understand, thank you.

[gaunt torrent]

they changed one pixel of the parched texture 💀

[pale prism]

Does this preview fix item custom components requiring a format version of ≥1.26.0

[marble raptor]

I don't know

[mellow python]

the party dropdowns are sooo bugy when I click on one of them I cant do anything I need to restart my game

[stuck veldt]

upcoming harya complaint essay on a texture sprite

[spark tundra]

Did they add anything useful

[tranquil heart]

So will we be finaly able to modify equipment slots of entities, other than player?? With the new entity pick up item event, if yes that'll be awesome

[halcyon sparrow]

...........

[split wave]

The rest is coming next Preview. "fences and stairs" should fully be possible in 1.26.0

[hoary canyon]

please

[languid moon]

That's awesome to hear. Thank you.

[hoary canyon]

I'm surprised we still haven't gotten access to equipment on mobs

[harsh gazelle]

Yipeee

[marble raptor]

I hope to see snow tinting and snowlogging soon too, you guys are doing a lot of cooking and I'm excited, but now it's time to rest a bit.

[eager solstice]

yay changelog for next preview leaked by mojang

[harsh gazelle]

Maybe the side texture of grass changing colors based on biome eventually as well

[sour crystal]

Cool

[harsh gazelle]

Cool

[rancid zinc]

looks a bit odd

that empty space at the top

[sour crystal]

its good

[undone steppe]

I initially agreed that the subtitles should be on the bottom right, but then I remembered that controller hints are a thing

[undone steppe]

Perfect timing

[gaunt torrent]

Well it’s too late for us to expect a good texture in any game drop so at this point I give up

[visual comet]

someone check out the new party system feedback page comment

🫡

[undone steppe]

Don't feel like it

[gaunt torrent]

Why don’t they used ore Ui for party

[mellow python]

but we need an option then where we can put it on top right (default) or bottom right

[visual comet]

https://aka.ms/MinecraftPartyFeedback

[undone steppe]

Ah yes. Just like the option we have for moving chat on the bottom left

[lavish rock]

What does it look like?

[gaunt torrent]

JSON Ui

In setting tab

[lavish rock]

Ah the settings.

[undone steppe]

Huh that's a good point

[lavish rock]

I thought you meant the ingame.

[undone steppe]

They're ore UI ifying it anyway

[gaunt torrent]

Oh well not that

Still, I don’t get why it’s not under ore Ui tho

[mellow python]

can you invite me I want to test it

[undone steppe]

Bro that comment is completely unrelated to the party system

[visual comet]

Ok

idk who commented that

[sour crystal]

Looks like local BDS doesn't works as well

[visual comet]

praise to him whoever commented it

[undone steppe]

Oh, I thought you were advertising your comment

[undone steppe]

Try Soul Steel

[mellow python]

I like the new friends list design and it also not lag that much

[sour crystal]

idk if possible with preview

[undone steppe]

Not my best moment

Guess your only other options are realms or directly joining

[sour crystal]

yea i tested local BDS and didn't work, but i kinda expected that

[sour crystal]

Same idea actually i was about to join our serenity test server but then i realize we don't support new protocol yet haha

[ornate barn]

parties

[lean rivet]

Probaly bc oreui does not support dropdown where u tick things on/off

[languid moon]

Wow, it looks like most of the core wood and stone set stuff will be fully functional by the time 26.0 hits. I think the only things that really throw a wrench in things are:

• Not having custom pick block. This is needed for double slabs to return single slabs.
• Block item overrides breaking fast bridging. Block item overrides are at least needed for slab accumulation.

[undone steppe]

Nice to see that the light leaking issue is fixed (I think)

[lavish rock]

Are your double slabs a separate block?

[languid moon]

Of course

[lavish rock]

Interesting.

I never thought to do that tbh.

[languid moon]

???

[lavish rock]

Javas is a block state.

[lusty light]

I do not like where the subtitles are on the screen

[languid moon]

Then go develop for Java Edition

[lusty light]

And the "Footsteps" subtitle only shows up like once before going away..

The direction it comes from also just shows up once with it

Placing a block counts as "Block Broken"

[sour crystal]

World Preview image is also send lol

[undone steppe]

If we check the sound files, we might get a hint to why this happens

[lusty light]

Ah,, that makes sense..

[craggy field]

Pickup item event

[harsh gazelle]

I really like parties but I wanna see how they work with realms

[undone steppe]

So what does it mean to be in a party?

[marble raptor]

Unless we use state for double slab as in Java.

Currently, I do this for my slabs.

[sour crystal]

Automatic redirection on where host goes, only /reload all doesn't works properly

[twilit jungle]

omg

[undone steppe]

So if the host exits their world then joins a new one, everyone else follows automatically?

[undone steppe]

Huh?

[lusty light]

While I am glad we have subtitles, they do seem to need a bit more work. I would love it if it had a similar UI position like Java when your UI profile is set to "Classic"

[crystal scarab]

Look at rhe FPS counter

[undone steppe]

I know. Huh?

[marble raptor]

But the custom pick block would be useful for other things as well, such as crops like wheat, for example, which gives you the seeds.

[sour crystal]

yea pretty much

[undone steppe]

That's kinda neat

[sour crystal]

yea

[undone steppe]

I don't play with others all that much so I'm not as hyped as other people

[twilit jungle]

is minecraft service down

[gaunt torrent]

Your games runs really well

[violet wigeon]

onEntity being useful is nice

Though I wish it wasn't just from executing on the home block

[languid moon]

Exactly

[languid moon]

This is a feature I'm stunned isn't there yet.

[sour crystal]

Its not enabled like this yet

[harsh gazelle]

Oof

[steep osprey]

preview

[steep osprey]

YAYYYYYYYY

[undone steppe]

Devil's Advocate: They should make the Browse Add-ons button functional. I should at least be able to apply the addon to the world I'm in without manually reloading it

[steep osprey]

agreed. Though, small steps, let's at least get enabling RPs in-game first.

instead of having to quit out of the world every time you want to use a different RP when on java you've been able to swap them in-game forever

yayyyyy

[undone steppe]

How's the light leaking from the sun?

[dull bluff]

i hope ddui gives us better visual customization🙏

[steep osprey]

not sure idk if i have any areas in my world that are good examples of it

so idk how to test

[median bone]

Where do I find this and what does it do?

[scenic barn]

are format versions still starting with 1.?
in the last preview changelog they were 1.26.0 but in this one they're 26.0

[solid tinsel]

Just noticed I have this now.. shouldn't the "World" tab only show players in the world while "People" should show friends and offline and of course "Party" showing members in your party (as it already does)

Would this not make more sense to do?

I will say that I do like the layout for this though! 👏

[median bone]

What is ore ui?? @solid tinsel

Can we customise it like json ui?

[solid tinsel]

The image above is ore ui... and I don't know the information about customising it yet

[median bone]

Ah okay

There’s actually zero documentation for this

[sour crystal]

no luck with showing custom screens sadly

I guess it requires experimental toggle thats not available yet

[mellow python]

is this for jsonUI?

[sour crystal]

yea DDUI

[median bone]

This works???

[undone steppe]

Ore UI

[sour crystal]

No errors, no response, no screen

[mellow python]

wait what? we can create ore UI now?

[median bone]

And how do you do the layout??

[median bone]

Oh

[sour crystal]

Here is simplified root layout

{
   "format_version": "1.21.130",
   "minecraft:ui-root": {
      "description": {
         "identifier": "con:test_form"
      },
      "attribs": {
         "root_point": "minecraft:screen"
      },
      "layout": {
         "markup": [
            {
               "tag": "Panel",
               "attribs": {
                  "colorMode": "barrel",
                  "stacked": false
               },
               "children": [
                  {
                     "tag": "Panel.Text",
                     "attribs": {
                        "text": "§aH§be§cl§dl§eo World!! ;)"
                     }
                  },
                  {
                     "tag": "Panel.CloseButton",
                     "attribs": {}
                  }
               ]
            }
         ]
      }
   }
}

[scenic barn]

DDUI screens are written in JSON and displayed by the game using Ore UI

[undone steppe]

No we can't (yet)

[sour crystal]

We are so close, i guess Kayla just forgot to add the new toggle for it

[median bone]

What is the file path for this?

[sour crystal]

<resource-pack>/ddui/root/your-custom-screen.json

[undone steppe]

We could never forget the ``

[sour crystal]

you can also create custom modular components that could be shared across screens

[median bone]

Thanks bro

[solid tinsel]

Where did you get the DataDrivenScreen from?

[sour crystal]

doesn't really helps as you can't really test it

[sour crystal]

own tool to generate types

[solid tinsel]

gotcha

[median bone]

I mean for responding

[undone steppe]

So what's missing that's in JSON UI at the moment. I'm aware this isn't complete, but just curious

[sour crystal]

Add this on top of global files

declare module "@minecraft/server-ui" {

   export class DataDrivenScreen {
      public constructor();
      public showScreen(player: server.Player, screenId: string): void;
   }
   export class DataStore {
      public getProperty(player: server.Player, dataStoreName: string, property: string): (string | undefined);
      public getPropertyPath(player: server.Player, dataStoreName: string, property: string, path: string): (string | undefined);
      public setClientWritable(player: server.Player, dataStoreName: string, property: string, path: string, isWritable?: boolean): void;
      public setProperty(player: server.Player, dataStoreName: string, property: string, data: string): void;
      public setPropertyPath(player: server.Player, dataStoreName: string, property: string, path: string, data: boolean | number | string): void;
      public subscribe(player: server.Player, dataStoreName: string, property: string, path: string, onChange: (arg0?: string) => void): (arg0?: string) => void;
      public unsubscribe(onChange: (arg0?: string) => void): boolean;
      private constructor();
   }
   export const ddui: DataStore;
}

[sour crystal]

I guess its close to being complete

they just didn't enable it for producation i would guess

no error --> no experiment enabled

[median bone]

Then json ui will not work anymore or it will still be active

?

[undone steppe]

Talking about features. I'm not well-versed in JSON-UI-fu

[sour crystal]

json-ui was never officially supported so i would guess it would be removed without too much care of backwards compatibility

[median bone]

😭

[undone steppe]

Besides older marketplace worlds

[sour crystal]

afaik even for marketplace worlds, mabye only modal forms would stay

idk

[median bone]

Do you know if the new sponsored server (dungeons) is made with json ui?

I forgot the name

[undone steppe]

yes

Nothing uses custom Ore UI right now

[median bone]

Not even the mc menu for the worlds?

[scenic barn]

that isn't custom

[twilit jungle]

?

[sour crystal]

use alpha modules

[frozen zealot]

[harsh gazelle]

Peak

[lavish rock]

Exvuse me for using java as a reference since we dont have vanilla reference on Bedrock.

[lavish rock]

Did I miss something, why are the docs referencing it from read only to restricted execution mode now

[undone steppe]

Where's the closed caption option?

nevermind. Found it

It didn't have a description on it

[sour crystal]

yea its called as restriction execution now, they even changed the error names from privileges to not allowed in restricted execution

[languid moon]

What do you mean we don't have a reference?

[lavish rock]

I decompile Java to see their class files.

And there's no slab.json in the blocks folder in the samples as well for Bedrock.

Another example, Java's leaves has a distance property, ours do not, at least not exposed.

[languid moon]

🙁

I'm disappointed in you.

[lavish rock]

You mean you weren't before when I told you how we made custom caves?

[marble raptor]

Custom mobs that have custom sounds but lack subtitles will have no sound.

Subtitles are required for the mob to have sound.

[lavish rock]

Good.

[eager solstice]

<Snake Slithers>

[marble raptor]

I took the test and it's still mandatory to use 1.26.0±

[lavish rock]

I'm going to assume this means 1.26.0 not 26.0.0.

[scenic barn]

either that or they're going with 1.26.0 for client entities and 26.0 for blocks

[ornate barn]

any eta on serenity's update?

[dull bluff]

Why do we construct a screen instance if it's empty

Idk maybe try creating the DDScreen in early execution?

[solid tinsel]

😭 world.beforeEvents.entityItemPickup <-- I was just asking last preview for beforeItemDrop and we got the reverse lmao

Maybe next time... 🙏

Though I guess itemDrop would have to account for dropping from your hand or from your cursor 🤷‍♂️ who knows

[solid tinsel]

Go careful using the new "Party" options.. I got soft locked in the "Receive party invites from" menu (have to restart game)

Seems like they all cause this soft lock at the moment

[robust carbon]

im curious, can you change the position of subtitle?

[marble raptor]

I don't think so currently; you can only enable or disable it. Currently, the button doesn't even have a description.

[cedar umbra]

i wonder if they have plans on adding contexts for custom sounds?

[lavish rock]

Wdym?

[cedar umbra]

closed captions for custom sounds

[lavish rock]

Is already possible.

[cedar umbra]

oh.

my bad

i didnt expect to have quite a handful of stuff in this preview

@lavish rock this is unrelated with this preview but do you know what BiomeType.getTags() do?

[lavish rock]

Gets...the...tags?

[cedar umbra]

i was about to specify

[frozen zealot]

lol

[lavish rock]

😂 Like...

What else?

[cedar umbra]

actually better question

[lavish rock]

It actually gets the components.

[cedar umbra]

what are tags for biomes

oh

[lavish rock]

Also why is village type a component not a tag

Will custom biomes/jigsaw structure get a similar API?

[cedar umbra]

ohhhhhh

yeah i should search before asking next time

[lavish rock]

😂

[lavish rock]

😂 They messed up.

[dusk crescent]

I think Sean is trying to hide that it gets his address and not the biome tag

[dark cove]

this needs to be in the next hotfix im tired of closing and reopening the game bruh 🥀

[marble raptor]

In addition to already being possible, it's mandatory; otherwise, your sound won't play in the game.

[marble raptor]

It retrieves the tags that the biome has.

[frozen zealot]

he was already answered and he specified more

he wanted to know what a biome tag was

and he figured out

[marble raptor]

minecraft:village_type Does it only define the type of village in the biome, or does it also allow villages to generate in the biome?

[frozen zealot]

im assuming the first thing, because thats how its described in the changelog

[marble raptor]

So it's kind of strange, because why would we define the type if it only generates in vanilla biomes, unless Mojang is planning to release a tag for generation?

[languid moon]

Oh, my god. minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction seems wildly broken.

[hard herald]

how so

[languid moon]

I have more research to do; I'd have to confirm. But it seems:

• Self-connections are incorrect for outward-facing corners.
• Connections are direction-inverted with Vanilla when using "blocks_to_corner_with": [{"tags": "q.any_tag('minecraft:cornerable_stairs')"}].

[marble raptor]

One question, did you add the trait connection?

[hard herald]

ok keep me posted

[languid moon]

Yes.

I will research some more. I really need this (and all other support/connection stuff) to hit release correctly.

[languid moon]

Here's the gist of the problem I'm seeing. Inward-facing self-cornering work great for both rotations. Outward-facing and Vanilla-cornering doesn't line up.

(Yes, I'm checking the server-side states, not just relying on my own geometry.)

(I have a video that I believe proves one of my claims… but I can't send it here. )

[marble raptor]

That's strange, I tested it and mine is working.

[languid moon]

Care to send your file over? I can verify it in a flash.

[hard herald]

Can you share your pack so we can verify?

[languid moon]

Sure thing, but it may be later tonight.

[marble raptor]

This is what I'm using.

[languid moon]

Could you give me your geometry?

[marble raptor]

Here

[languid moon]

Yours also isn't working with Vanilla oak stairs.

But yours is working with outward-facing self-connections.

The difference in our files is that you have the minecraft:connection trait, which shouldn't be required for stairs. But for some reason, its existence is allowing things to work correctly.

[marble raptor]

I needed to add this for the connection to work correctly.

I just noticed a problem: the vanilla stairs are leaking water when placed in corners.

And the use_liquid_clipping It works when it wants to work.

[marble raptor]

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and when it does work, it only works in one direction.

[languid moon]

I can't check your file again right now, but I do know the liquid detection component isn't affected by transformation rotation.

[marble raptor]

I set the rotation manually using the geometry.

[marble raptor]

Only the vanilla ones leak water when they're in the corner; the custom ones function as they should without leaking water.

[marble raptor]

Look the test

[marble raptor]

Apparently, this only happens when the middle blocks are custom and the corner is vanilla; if they are all vanilla, it works normally.

[shell peak]

Wait what it is enabled now?

[stuck veldt]

did anyone having an issue with global packs not applying?

[prisma elm]

I checked on my Android and pc and they seem to work just fine

[stuck veldt]

It's not working for me apparently on PC.

It doesn't want to apply until i relaunch the game.

[prisma elm]

That's weird

[stuck veldt]

even then, joining the world with 'applied' global packs on just doesn't apply either.

had to put my packs on world so i can use it

[prisma elm]

Actually I didn't check removing and enabling the packs, I'll check that as soon as I can

[prisma elm]

ok everything seems fine for me , so it might be smth on your end

[stuck veldt]

ive reinstalled the game with a fresh install btw still doesn't seem to work.

[prisma elm]

huh

[stuck veldt]

Also did tried using my backup drive where i also have windows installed there has the same issue either unfortunately.

so no, definitely not my windows config were the fault so idk what went wrong.

[prisma elm]

are you trying with a specific texture pack? there might be smth wrong in the pack itself

[stuck veldt]

When i apply the pack, it just doesn't show any "loading resource pack" popup or dialog.

[prisma elm]

although what can be wrong in the pack that might cause this

[stuck veldt]

It just ignores it for whatever reason.

I tried all packs btw just fyi

[prisma elm]

oh

[stuck veldt]

including the marketplace ones.

[prisma elm]

hmm

[stuck veldt]

but yeah, stable works perfectly fine

but not preview.

[prisma elm]

I am gonna try to use the launcher and if that changes anything although it shouldn't

[prisma elm]

oh you meant preview, I am sorry I was testing on stable ;-;

let me test the preview rq

Ok yea I am having the same issue

it says that my global resource pack activate but nothing changes

[languid moon]

Man, I really am not sure about the support stuff hitting release. I mean, I kinda like what's happening now. They could use template/preset strings in more places in blocks. But it should really be a face mapping that respects transformation rotation.

For an example using top-side slabs, it could look like:

"minecraft:support": {
  "*": "none",
  "up": "full"
}

This would have the same logic as the material instances component. Valid string values would be "none", "center", "edges", or "full".

Then, in a pressure plate:

"minecraft:placement_filter": {
  "conditions": [
    {
      "block_filter": ["q.block_support_tier('up', 'center')"],
      "allowed_faces": ["up"]
    }
  ]
}

The Molang query would accept 2 required parameters, direction and tier, where the latter is the same as the support component above.

Because the slab's up face was "full", that tier covers both center and edges. Therefore, the custom pressure plate would be allowed atop the custom top-half slab.

Okay, so a rework isn't in the cards now that's it's flagged for stable release. But I am surprised we didn't get any semblance of the Molang query to correspond with the current preset-based minecraft:support component.

[languid moon]

Ah, shit. minecraft:support is actually bugged right now… I think. I'm gonna try to get to the bottom of this later with the blocks team.

[ocean mist]

okay wait a sec I don't think was public in the last preview

the keyboard & mouse controls screen is public

[lavish rock]

It's been public for a while now.

[ocean mist]

oh alr

yeah it's been a bit since i last checked a preview version

been too busy

catching up with versions is a pain now

[solemn trail]

Am I the only one whose subtitles don't display half of the sounds?

[marble raptor]

That's a good idea, let's see what will be done in 2026, that year seems special.

[languid moon]

Doesn’t look like onEntity works with on_reach in minecraft:behavior.move_to_block

Not sure if it's supposed to, though…

[frozen zealot]

well it only specifies execute_event_on_home_block

[languid moon]

That is true. I was kinda hoping it could receive any block event call from entities. If it's just gonna be that one, I'd hope they'd rename it.

The subtitle system works great for custom content at first glance.

[tulip thorn]

so it doesnt work?

[languid moon]

I'm seeing it provide support on the opposite lateral face from what it should be doing.

The top/bottom support face is set up correctly.

[tulip thorn]

your docs arnt the same as https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/blockreference/examples/blockcomponents/minecraftblock_support?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[languid moon]

My docs?

[tulip thorn]

.

[languid moon]

Oh, yes! That's just a "dream" component — one that would let us do anything. I'm unfortunately quite aware that we don't have something that powerful right now.

[tulip thorn]

also do we need to remove collision and selection box?

[languid moon]

No

[tulip thorn]

do you have a working stair template?

mines not working

[languid moon]

Why isn't yours working?

[quick viper]

What does this mean ?

Can someone explain connection_rule

[solid tinsel]

No it’s not just you. It seems Mojang aren’t sending the sounds every new sound that plays.

It seems to be really janky right now and sends one randomly when it feels like it

[harsh gazelle]

I think it defines how things like fences and glass panes connect to the block

[marble raptor]

To allow connection of vanilla blocks, currently only fences are enabled.

[unkempt phoenix]

Out of curiosity, why?

[quick viper]

So do we have a chance to make a connected glass add-on like java edition?

[harsh gazelle]

We already can it seems

[quick viper]

Can u dm me the addon

[harsh gazelle]

I don’t have one

They added block culling rules a while ago and someone made them with that

[abstract dock]

The game is still crashing, there's no way they messed it up this much

It's when I'm getting suggestions for /place feature

Really? Wow

[cerulean pendant]

Nether biomes don’t work well at all; they have a lot of bugs, and I barely managed to get them working

[violet wigeon]

You should be more specific if you want it to be fixed

[steep osprey]

based on this screenshot there appear to be lines

[magic merlin]

awesome

[rocky jackal]

Wait, what

No f way

[cerulean pendant]

you’re right

Nether biomes don’t work the same way as Overworld biomes. If you try to modify the surface_builder materials, they don’t change, and if you use /locate biome it gives you the biome’s coordinates, but the biome doesn’t actually generate. It only works if surface_material_adjustments is used, but that causes lines to appear, which are actually the biome that was replaced. On top of that, it completely replaces the biome regardless of the amount, and as I said, those lines are the biome it replaced

[lavish rock]

Cannot wait to test custom nether biomes.

I assumed it work the same as targetting cave biomes due to Nether Biomes being 3d.

[lavish rock]

Those look like chunk borders

[cerulean pendant]

I thought the same, but they don’t work correctly.

[lavish rock]

Intriguing it is only in a certain axis

Could you try using features to place every block in the biome with diamond blocks or something

[cerulean pendant]

Yes, but for example, I replaced nether_wastes and it completely replaced the entire biome even though I set amount to 0.3, and as I said, those lines are nether_wastes

[lavish rock]

That doesn't explain much.

It only explains those are nether wastes, not why it's only on chunk borders or why only in one axis.

[cerulean pendant]

I don’t know why that happens either; I hope they fix it in the next beta

[lavish rock]

Can you target all nether biomes.

Curious to see if certain biomes behave differently in terms of the chunk border

[cerulean pendant]

okay, wait for me

Once again, the biome no longer appears.

code:
{ "format_version": "1.26.0", "minecraft:biome": { "description": { "identifier": "test:nether_biome" }, "components": { "minecraft:climate": { "downfall": 0.0, "snow_accumulation": [ 0.0, 0.125 ], "temperature": 2.0 }, "minecraft:surface_builder": { "builder": { "type": "minecraft:overworld", "sea_floor_depth": 1, "sea_floor_material": "minecraft:moss_block", "foundation_material": "minecraft:netherrack", "mid_material": "minecraft:netherrack", "top_material": "minecraft:moss_block", "sea_material": "minecraft:lava" } }, "minecraft:surface_material_adjustments": { "adjustments": [ { "materials": { "top_material": "minecraft:netherrack", "sea_floor_material": "minecraft:netherrack" }, "noise_frequency_scale": 0.1, "noise_range": [ 0.4, 1.0 ] } ] }, "minecraft:replace_biomes": { "replacements": [ { "dimension": "minecraft:nether", "targets": [ "minecraft:hell", "minecraft:basalt_deltas", "minecraft:soulsand_valley", "minecraft:crimson_forest", "minecraft:warped_forest" ], "amount": 0.3, "noise_frequency_scale": 1.0 } ] }, "minecraft:tags": { "tags": [ "nether_biome" ] } } } }

[lavish rock]

Wack

[ocean mist]

is the gameplay subtitles feature going a gradual platform rollout? I have tested it on PC and it works fine but I don't see the toggle to enable it on android beta

no toggle in accessibility and the version is definetly updated to 26.0.25

[marble raptor]

Works for me on android

[ocean mist]

weird

[ocean mist]

maybe i should try reinstalling the beta

[ocean mist]

ok that fixed up.

[turbid lichen]

I feel like cancelling damage in beforeEntityHurt should also not reduce the items durability

or maybe an itemDamage property that we can set in execution

[frozen zealot]

entityHitEntity beforeEvent would make more sense for that

[weary brook]

i mean tbf, its still using the item, its just doing nothing

[frozen zealot]

because it doesnt cancel the hit, it cancels the damage from the hit

[weary brook]

its like tryna use a flint and steel on ice haha

[turbid lichen]

before entityHitEntity event when

[frozen zealot]

lol

[weary brook]

we have a new goal

[turbid lichen]

oh well, I'm not going to bother just setting a new item with different durability, that will just be the minor consequence of someone using an item they can't use

Still leagues better than before where I was just giving players mining fatigue and weakness if they used an item they couldn't use

[marble raptor]

I suffered from the same problem, let's wait until next year, this is the first preview where it was added.

[vital coyote]

@carmine tusk

[marble raptor]

/26 in the name

[mellow olive]

I just remembered. Is Entity.target still in beta?

[frozen zealot]

yes

[mellow olive]

Will they ever release it to stable? It's the main reason why my addon has to be experimental.

[frozen zealot]

Well yeah, everything eventually becomes stable

[lavish rock]

Well...

[frozen zealot]

eventually

lol

[lavish rock]

HCF...

[frozen zealot]

oh yeah

not everything then

rip entity.fallDistance

[earnest portal]

I have zero idea what happened here except Bugrock

[sour crystal]

nice

[rocky jackal]

At least its not as laggy as lagva edition tho

But I've never seen a bug like this before tbh

That's interesting

[stuck veldt]

mfw a mobile game that was ported to every platform somehow has a better optimization and performance than a PC game

[carmine tusk]

Does anyone know a way to run the DDUI files? I've tried everything and nothing worked, alpha version of the API server UI, editing the game files, and nothing works.

[lavish rock]

You can't yet.

[carmine tusk]

If Mojang doesn't make it customizable, I'm going to freak out.

At least there's some new information besides the fact that they use JSON as a basis for interacting with the ORE UI?

[lavish rock]

What's the new info?

[carmine tusk]

I was talking to some people from the marketplace and they think it won't be customizable because it's a way for developers to standardize with the new Minecraft interface (ORE UI).

[lavish rock]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-cat-catlaughing-laughingcat-point-gif-7577620470218150413

It's been stated numerous times that Mojang has plans to make OreUI customizable. It's just a matter of when.

[carmine tusk]

Maybe yes, maybe no, but for now it probably won't happen, given how Mojang works.

[lavish rock]

I'm quite confused.

https://x.com/Volgar/status/1877646602703196601?s=20

Oleg Kozitsyn (@Volgar)

@agentms_ Oh, I see how it can be interpreted this way. My answer was more about the approach of just moving every single Ore UI file under resource packs, and that's not gonna happen for the reasons mentioned above. We working on other mechanisms to do modding.

X · Jan 10, 2025, 9:20 AM

[carmine tusk]

Mojang often releases features that aren't what they should be. I personally think they'll release them without customization options for now, but over time they'll make them customizable.

[stuck veldt]

DDUI is too early at the moment, come back later lmao.

[carmine tusk]

Wow, that's really good.

[stuck veldt]

It would be customizable however, but not the way you would expect really. — It's not customizable pre-game, but it would be in-game.

[carmine tusk]

That's what I'm thinking; for now, it'll just be a base, probably without the possibility of customization.

[lean rivet]

In theory you can see them by replacing bed screen with them but i would not call it running

[carmine tusk]

[tepid vigil]

imo, ore ui should have stayed in preview for a bit longer before releasing it bit by bit
json ui devs at this point just waiting for what screen is going to get killed next with no alt

[median bone]

What is ddui??

[undone steppe]

Data Driven UI

[median bone]

What does this mean?

[undone steppe]

That you can customize the UI

without making code

[median bone]

Okayyy

[ocean mist]

i thought you were running two instances for a second lmfao
