[rose coral]

@errant nymph lots of yours being fixed.

[uncut sapphire]

Fixed a bug where emissive, metalness, and roughness values would not be loaded properly when switching to the Ray Traced graphics mode while in a world.
LETS GO

[frank kelp]

First

[worthy forum]

New damage sensor thing

[rose coral]

"no_but_entity_effects_apply" LMAO

ACTUAL LMAO

[worthy forum]

Holy

[rose coral]

feature_pool_element Nice

[worthy forum]

Feature pool element

I can place trees

[frank kelp]

I’m so happy

[worthy forum]

I can make foundations now

[tribal pewter]

ender chest component is finally here

[rose coral]

dded new version for the water configuration JSON file.
new format version is "1.26.20".
fields "minecraft:water_settings" and "minecraft:water_settings/description" are now required.
Removed point lights visually fading out once past a certain distance from the camera
Hmmm...

[kind moth]

curious

[worthy forum]

Jigsaws touched, peak preview

[glacial cypress]

huge

[latent lodge]

oh wow I actually get pinged too lol thanks

[lean moth]

oh its update day

[kind moth]

potentially

[worthy forum]

Villages can now be 100% working like vanilla

We can place trees and block piles

Oh and ancient cities for the most part

[nocturne scroll]

These were definitely needed

[rose coral]

Added a boolean "rotate_around_center" field to the "minecraft:structure_template_feature" feature
When set to "true", it rotates the structure around its center when placing it in the world
Defaults to "false" if omitted
WOW

[worthy forum]

3/5 elements done. list_pool_element and legacy_single_pool elements next

[wintry sand]

interesting

[worthy forum]

We can place structure features with jigsaw structures now

[wintry sand]

oh cool

[glacial solar]

Happy Preview day \o/

[worthy forum]

Oh hey they fixed the really annoying pack settings bug

[latent lodge]

actual W preview

[worthy forum]

Where changing pack settings would disable the pack

[exotic prism]

Huge tbh

[worthy forum]

[gentle sluice]

yoo, we can now detect if an entity does have or not its inventory opened

huge

[formal geyser]

This should let people do equip sounds outside of scripting now

[wintry sand]

yh i just saw

pretty cool components

[kind moth]

the end flashes in fancy don't light the dimension purple like they do on Java

[wintry sand]

now someone should make elevator music play when their inventory is open with this

[formal geyser]

Isn't this the opposite?

[kind moth]

pleas fix :<

[formal geyser]

It applies to the equippable slots, not the inventory

[kind moth]

on java, they change the sky light colour

[formal geyser]

or is it just saying that this component is not for the inventory

[sudden orbit]

first

[wintry sand]

its just saying it only works in equipment

[exotic prism]

Isn’t that what it says?

[formal geyser]

I guess I just think it's weird to mention

[wintry sand]

so you could do custom equip sounds without scripts

[formal geyser]

That's what I told you

It just reads weird to me

[wintry sand]

some people use inventory slots as custom equipment slots

[formal geyser]

Like "Don't toast toaster strudels in the microwave, use the toaster instead"

[wintry sand]

its probably to clear that up

[exotic prism]

True ig

[gloomy fern]

oh cool an update.

[calm girder]

Smoker getting its own UI

Blast furnace too!

[sudden orbit]

Anyone tested this??

[formal geyser]

How would I test it

🗿

[wintry sand]

smoker one could use some touch-ups

[formal geyser]

oh wait it's actually out on the store already

I'll test it

[wintry sand]

the smoker and blast furnace ones are nice

i really dont like the rest

[balmy canyon]

YES

[wintry parcel]

omigosh yayy

[rose coral]

lol, they nuked the fog schema for the html docs.

[worthy forum]

Typo in the change log ahhhhh

“Entitiy”

[rose coral]

Ah.

[uncut sapphire]

I need this texture changed to a job application png immediately

[formal geyser]

Is that just the end flash

[rose coral]

Yes.

[formal geyser]

Why

[wintry sand]

OMG YAS

I CAN ACTUALLY TRY RAYTRACING NOW MAYBE

[latent lodge]

best preview we got in a good while

[fierce zephyr]

What does this mean?

[rose coral]

You can use features in jigsaws now.

[hasty dove]

OH NICE 😄

[balmy canyon]

I wonder what is this bug fix about tho

[rose coral]

Curious why they're moving that from debug to server.

[fierce zephyr]

Does this mean it's possible to create a jigsaw structure with limitations on feature placement?

[rose coral]

Idk what that means.

[wintry sand]

im hoping its the fix for THIS

[fierce zephyr]

Features can choose specific blocks to be generated.

[hasty dove]

You can't use debug in marketplace products 😛

[rose coral]

Features can always do that by having the may attach to.

[fierce zephyr]

Example: Generate only in lava

[rose coral]

Even if it's out of beta?

[fierce zephyr]

So finally it's possible to make a jigsaw structure that, for example, will only be positioned in lava?

[uncut sapphire]

Hopefully they're not gonna stop at text primitives

[rose coral]

Yeha, that would be a Mojang moment to not allow debug even if it's stabilised and instead move everything to server.

[upbeat bane]

They've made it quite clear that the module is only for debugging so that wouldn't be surprising

[hasty dove]

I mean from a simplistc pov its text displays for bedrock and yeah the debugging utils was just for debugging and not full fledge projects.

[nocturne scroll]

Pretty sure if the pack doesn’t have PBR as part of its capabilities, it wouldn’t load PBR textures

[night adder]

FIRST

[night adder]

Did you remember to ship features?

[night adder]

TEXT RENDERING YAAAAY

[zenith delta]

First

[kind moth]

JE / BE (fancy) / BE (VV)

[zenith delta]

Never been more angry that I'm not home when preview releases, bc new gameplay oreui screens

[kind moth]

the flash is smaller on bedrock fancy than java and doesn't change light colour to purple.
hopefully those issues get resolved in later previews

[lean moth]

ah crap!

[strong mica]

i hope the redstone consumer component update is exactly what i need

what quazchick was talking about

[fierce zephyr]

I don't know why, but the flash seems kind of out of place, like it doesn't belong here.

[wintry sand]

i think part of that is the fact that java's newer lighting changes made this possible without needing any graphics settings

java's sunset and fog look significantly different too

[fierce zephyr]

Hey, many vanilla block tags don't have namespaces, will Minecraft automatically read them as "minecraft"?

[summer oxide]

yoo let's goo

[rose coral]

I do wonder why only VV shows the new pano but Fancy uses default preview.

[wintry parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/its-been84years-titanic-rose-dawson-gif-5372593

[summer oxide]

someone needs to do it rn

[timber dagger]

ENDERCHEST COMPONENT!1!1!1!1

[wintry parcel]

ikr

[formal geyser]

Now give us a beforeEvent so we can make personal chests

[lapis elm]

Is this just non debug debug shapes? I wonder what they look like

[edgy pebble]

umm

are those somehow used to open an entity container/inventory without interacting with the actual entity?

[gentle sluice]

detects when de entity does have its inventory opened or closed

[west star]

HOLY

[edgy pebble]

can it be used on the player? like detecting when the player opens/close its inventory.

if so, i have an idea

[gentle sluice]

i dont know

[west star]

POG

[formal geyser]

Yes, It fires when the player opens their inventory

[hasty dove]

Yes it is it's just going to be out of a beta module and somewhere usable for us marketplace peeps that can't use beta features 😅

[coral timber]

We finally got a component to get the items in someone's Ender chest.

[night adder]

You were meant to ship <insert really cool feature everyone wants here>! 🙁

[hasty dove]

wait <insert really cool feature everyone wants here> was meant to come out today!

[wintry sand]

the funniest way to use this is to make elevator music play near the person who has their inventory open

[night adder]

Hopefully they get RawMessage support

[edgy pebble]

then i can cache it to make some ui images visible,
like opening ur inventory will change the invCache from 0 to 1, and that will make some hudScreen images to become visible (and i can make the hudScreen ui always rendering) so the images will be visible while being in the inventory

[hasty dove]

Looks like the debug one is so maybe it will come over later to the @minecraft/server one?

[edgy pebble]

that way, i can apply some new info like open ur inventory to see what kind of injuries d u have.

[edgy pebble]

and 'Booooo' when they close their inventory

[night adder]

OOOOOH EXCITING

This will be great to replace entities which are just used to show some text, and add localisation support!

[fierce zephyr]

I hope so, otherwise many tags will no longer be usable.

[edgy pebble]

also i really like how they added a new method to send text via scripts, and the text can be 3D as well
-# right after they announce the age verification and blocked chat stuff

[wintry sand]

no just an elevator bell

or just

MAYONNAISE IN AN ELEVATOR

[elfin plover]

primitiveShapesManager

[wintry sand]

kewl

[gentle sluice]

so how does work? its like an entity???

[formal geyser]

Yeah how do I even do it, I downloaded the types but they aren't being helpful at all

[elfin plover]

no
it is it's own think, you can set position, rotation and so on

[elfin plover]

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((event) => {
    const itemStack = event.itemStack;
    const player = event.source;

    const text = new TextPrimitive({x:0,y:2.25,z:0}, player.name)
    text.color = {red:1,green:0,blue:0,alpha:1},
    text.depthTest = false,
    text.rotation = {x: 0,y: 0,z: 0},
    text.attachedTo = player
    text.backgroundColorOverride = {red:0,green:0,blue:0,alpha:1}
    text.scale = 2

    world.primitiveShapesManager.addText(text)
    
});

[rose coral]

It's just debug text.

[elfin plover]

if attachedTo is provided, the location is releative to the entity

[formal geyser]

Oh this is not what I thought it was

[elfin plover]

yeah, but it is good that they added it to the server model
using a feature meant for debugging seemed weird to me

[elfin plover]

you thought it was 3d? lol

[formal geyser]

I thought we would be given options to extrude the text 😭

[elfin plover]

same, lol
but yeah it is just debug text

[formal geyser]

you know what, good enough. I'll have a use for this eventually

It's not saved on world reload 😔 nevermind

[elfin plover]

even on /reload

[formal geyser]

obliterated

[glacial solar]

https://tenor.com/view/clash-royale-heheheha-gif-1227201251014243577

[formal geyser]

This one and the waypoint one have so much potential but requires me to save them somewhere when the world closes and place them all on open

[velvet wolf]

Happy Preview Day

[gentle sluice]

oh, like the hologram thingies in java but just text

cool

[coral timber]

I hope it will be released to the stable as soon as possible. Thats so useful

[elfin plover]

we can use multiple colors but at least color code § work

[fierce zephyr]

Happy happy

[fierce zephyr]

Now we just need the /locate structure to only work if at least one pool is positioned.

[lapis elm]

If these texts could show client side molang expressions of the entity they're attached to, I could throw away my overcomplicated hack version

[frosty plinth]

Day 4 of hoping that Minecraft on Xbox Series S runs at 1080p instead of 4K

[halcyon thunder]

just save the location and put the text back after

[elfin plover]

fake 3d

[halcyon thunder]

ruining addon compatibility just for that lol

[sick comet]

is that just a lot of text entities? 👀

[wintry sand]

you probably wouldnt use more than one addon that does this anyways

[halcyon thunder]

what

[wintry sand]

ah wait

the other functions

nvm

[halcyon thunder]

doesnt matter what you edit in the file, itll make it incompatible if any other addon edits it

[elfin plover]

yep
50

[wicked stone]

native hologram support was not on my bingo card

[sick comet]

amazing lmao

[uncut sapphire]

Can if render right angle triangle character? ◢
If so, it can be used to render arbitrary polygons and 3d models

[sick comet]

im guessing it's just regular characters

[sick comet]

technically all you need is the letter I

[elfin plover]

we don't have transform like java does

[uncut sapphire]

Ahh right, no separate X and Y scaling, damn

[sick comet]

does the text scale based on distance like the debug lines, or is it always the same size like how you'd expect?

just fixed rotation

[elfin plover]

fixed size

[sick comet]

awesome

that's good news

[uncut sapphire]

Imagine someone makes a server side particle system library using text displays for rendering 😭

[wicked stone]

is it always the Minecraft font or ya think it's based off the current RP font

[sick comet]

probably whatever system nametags use

[elfin plover]

tbh, we do need an option to make it scale by distance

[wintry sand]

someone probably will

[fierce zephyr]

It still seems a little out of place.

The new tagging system doesn't seem to work even when using format_version 1.26.20.

[gentle sluice]

im expecting a "Freddy fazbear's pizzeria" ahh Sign

[wintry parcel]

lol

[oak salmon]

How's performance?

[balmy canyon]

No.

Rtx packs were alwaays working without pbr capability

I see what they've fixed

[elfin plover]

Not bad

[sick comet]

just move it closer to the player i if you need that

[balmy canyon]

Now you can turn RTX on in-game, if you entered the world without RTX

[sick comet]

pretty good considering when debug text first came out it was pretty laggy

[frank kelp]

Was there a change to orbital_offset_degrees in this preview? I don't see any mention of it or the global lighting file in the changelog.

[oak salmon]

what changed?

[frank kelp]

I don't know. I don't have content errors but my sun's angle is at 0 degrees despite me giving it a custom one. Same for the moon

My lighting file is being loaded perfectly fine

[west star]

Ooooo that's going to be epic

Oh, I love that they're making it so tags no longer need a namespace

That's actually amazing for using multiple add-ons to get compatibility together

[rose coral]

What.

[formal geyser]

Needs more text layers, add several thousand at once

[west star]

Ah fuck

I misread

As of version 1.26.20, tags cannot freely live as top level entities in the components array.
They must live inside the "minecraft:tags" component, which accepts an array of tags of the format :
"minecraft:tags": ["minecraft:crop", "custom:custom_tag"].
The values must have the format "<namespace>:<tag_name>".
They no longer need to be prefixed with tag:

😔

[nocturne scroll]

It happens

I love the new tag changes for blocks though

[west star]

Same

[rose coral]

Truly, the only way to achieve compatibility is vanilla tags and coordinating with other creators or an addon library.

[west star]

Yeah. I think an add-on library for compatibility should be made for the wiki.bedrock.dev site

[formal geyser]

heh

[west star]

I wouldn't mind helping with it if needed

[rose coral]

But no one in Bedrock likes standards.

[west star]

😅

[rose coral]

Bedrock has to be one of the worst community Ive been a part of.

Always obfuscating, gatekeeping, allergic to contributing.

[west star]

We have no standards let alone low standards 🤣

[oak salmon]

Make a particle system out of it

[nocturne scroll]

So true, and let's not forget toxicity

[west star]

I don't get obfuscating.
Like if someone wants to learn from my code, be my guest.
It might be shit but fo ahead lmao

[formal geyser]

still going good

[west star]

I actually learned a lot when first doing JS just by downloading packs and looking at how they work

[formal geyser]

actually, it was not going good

my FPS went from ~140 to 30 lol

[west star]

https://tenor.com/view/haha-mickael-jackson-queendugif-ahah-hehe-gif-13642339

😭

Has anyone made an effort to even make a standardised system yet?

[formal geyser]

You can't make a standardized system if no one follows it

[nocturne scroll]

Sir, you know you won't need about 1.6k points

[rose coral]

Not worth it.

Most creators are immature cough mcpedl discord cough

[west star]

Oof, now I wish I didn't see wrong and namespaces weren't needed anymore for tags 😔

[formal geyser]

I absolutely need all of these and I can justify it

[tight temple]

Do u think the text can take variables?

[nocturne scroll]

Honestly fair :3

[west star]

What if some of the biggest add-ons and other smaller add-ons made a unified system?
Would that help to make a system that could slowly gain traction?

And like teach people about best practices for compatibility?

[formal geyser]

they're kinda fun to mess with

[west star]

Holy

[wintry sand]

shhh

dont give him any ideas

[sick comet]

do multiple lines work?

[formal geyser]

I don't see why not

you can slap emoji's in there

[sick comet]

also if they're attached to an entity and set to not rotate, are they always static or do they follow the entity's rotation?

[formal geyser]

It works but it might be the last thing you ever see

[sick comet]

lmfao

nice

[fierce zephyr]

Actually, forget it, it's versioned; you need version 1.26.20+.

[wintry sand]

i think mojang might have to limit the characters per line to 100 LOL

[sick comet]

please no enforced limits lol

[formal geyser]

I don't see why

[fierce zephyr]

I don't think versioning was necessary; it should work if the component exists.

[formal geyser]

It's just a 5 KB line of text

[wintry sand]

i dont think the game will like trying to render text outside of render distance

[heavy zinc]

Guys, what’s new?

[fierce zephyr]

Don't work yet

[formal geyser]

I don't think it does

hard to tell though because it was rotating with me

[fierce zephyr]

Based on my tests, only the old mode works in this preview, even in Formt version 1.26.20.

[sage quartz]

Oh wow sky flashes in fancy graphics

[kind moth]

yeah
sadly not like
actually sky flashy.

[sage quartz]

Is it like the Java one

[kind moth]

this is how they look

[kind moth]

smaller and don't actually make it brighter or purple

[sage quartz]

I like javas more for sure

[kind moth]

same

[sage quartz]

But it's nice it's there

[uncut sapphire]

Text primitives would be perfect for RGB screens

[fierce zephyr]

The shelf seems buggy.

[sage quartz]

Javas looks like VVs without the shadows (if we are talking lighting only)

[kind moth]

yeah

java ones are very nice as a backdrop for building stuff while being much simpler than the bedrock VV ones.

[night adder]

This is why we can't have nice things 🤣

[elfin plover]

1000

[kind moth]

like look at how fun the java ones look when you build something in the End

[nocturne scroll]

Data-driven shelfs would be nice. Just sayin'!

[calm girder]

And nautilus armor too

[fierce zephyr]

The placement_filter no longer prevents multi-block placement, but the placement filter isn't working for me.

[fierce zephyr]

In other words, I can position it, but the block doesn't break when it should.

[errant nymph]

Holy shit.

Damn, there are so many changes to things, I don't even know where to begin.

[sage quartz]

I just tested BEs. It's pretty weird. The flash doesn't fade at all. It feels really unfinished

[night adder]

I take it back, this is why we can't have nice things 🤣

[rose coral]

From the top.

Duh.

[night adder]

And this is when Smokey gets demoted

[fierce zephyr]

The icon in the setblock is now working as it should.

[rose coral]

🙄 For alleged admin abuse.

[kind moth]

hopefully it improves over this preview cycle

[west star]

Keyword is ofc alleged

[errant nymph]

And also, do you even realize how big of a deal jigsaws placing features is???

[west star]

Nope

I just know it's amazing for customisability

[rose coral]

It's a big deal...just months too late for me.

[fierce zephyr]

That's interesting, features are more configurable.

[errant nymph]

Wait, what. Everything still looks offset.

[west star]

Yeah, it looks very offset 😭

[errant nymph]

It means features can be /located for one. It also means we can have dynamic systems everywhere instead of just having to make thngs structure-based.

[nocturne scroll]

I've been waiting for it ever since we got jigsaws.

[rose coral]

Gang can we have snow changing block texture or is that already a thing and I missed it.

[west star]

Oh what

[fierce zephyr]

Setting fit_to_frame to false still offset the block.

[west star]

Holy fuck, that's actually amazing

[errant nymph]

@left fiber, thank you. ❤️ (And thanks to the team!)

[nocturne scroll]

Y'all are great

[balmy canyon]

So, welp. This is one of the best previews

[rose coral]

I request minecraft:on_inventory_changed

[upbeat grotto]

It's not that deep 😭

[elfin plover]

connecting two blocks using text

[formal geyser]

I request before Entity/BlockInventoryOpened

[rose coral]

Are you trying to cancel?

[wintry parcel]

nightmare location

[formal geyser]

perhaps

[rose coral]

Does player interact not cancel it

[formal geyser]

erm

[oak salmon]

/inputpermission inventory when

[formal geyser]

It's just not the same 💅

[rose coral]

😩 I just need to detect inventory change. They were so close with equipment change.

[wintry parcel]

/inputpermission closeworld when

[elfin plover]

openContainer when

[formal geyser]

is inventoryItemChange only equipment?

[rose coral]

That's players only. I need it for non players.

[wintry parcel]

entityEquippableComponent on non-players when

[formal geyser]

You'd probably have to read their inventory on open, store it as your own object, then compare it 😭

[rose coral]

Doesn't work for my use case sadly.

[lean moth]

alright, I now realize text was a mistake

[errant nymph]

Haha.

[formal geyser]

We didn't need particles after all

[worthy forum]

Enchanter beam from dungeons

[elfin plover]

lol, i am just playing around
i do have a particle for that

[uncut sapphire]

Yes... And you can make it so much worse by introducing separate X and Y text scaling, so that we can render arbitrary polygons with it ❤️

[lean moth]

you all are coming out with Windows XP wallpapers with the text rendering. What's next, pipes?

[worthy forum]

What’s with the text stuff

[lean moth]

it's just rendering text in world without entities

and a few more options

[worthy forum]

It’s kinda cool but I don’t see very much application other then placing trees and stuff

[rose coral]

Surely this means we can render entities as text.

[oak salmon]

Next update, custom triangle rendering

[worthy forum]

The debug-utilities scripting module?

[errant nymph]

It is by far the biggest thing in this Preview if leveraged to its fullest extent.

[rose coral]

So only by you.

In 8 months.

[errant nymph]

Yeah, kinda.

In 2 years.

[worthy forum]

Maybe

I’m gonna be replacing a tree I have in one of my structures with this but I can’t think of much else other then trees that I’ll be using it for

[zenith delta]

new smoker and blast furnace screens ig (not late trust)

[rose coral]

Furnace just having a border is...something.

[formal geyser]

why are the borders different sizes

[rose coral]

Ancient cities using sculk patches.

[zenith delta]

bc yes

[formal geyser]

you can /locate every single tree

[worthy forum]

Oh yeah I forgot that

[calm girder]

It’s really great

I feel like all containers will have their own textures

[worthy forum]

Ancient cities also use list pool element so we can’t 100% replicate them just yet

[errant nymph]

Doable now via jigsaw-feature bridging:

• Findable features
• Adding trees, walls, anything to existing features
• Processing segments of structure parts as they are generated
• (Not sure if this is supported yet) Features "calling" other structures

[zenith delta]

copper chest crying in the corner

[calm girder]

Would be cool if they ever made it too yeah

Considering ender chest is also there

And has a special gold Ui too

[zenith delta]

you mean the top thigny?

[formal geyser]

oh wait, would it be placing the features inside of the structure bounds?

[calm girder]

I found today some unique button

[formal geyser]

That's actually very good for certain types of structures where you can have variation in decorations

[fierce zephyr]

Interesting, I wonder if they're making the storage screen as well?

[royal depot]

Wait, that's huge. No more nametagging everything just to show something

[rose coral]

The youths don't know about debug utilities.

[formal geyser]

I had no idea it was a thing

Why would I though, I just world.sendMessage every error

[rose coral]

The elderly don't know about debug utilities.

[calm girder]

There

[formal geyser]

and then forget to remove the world.sendMessage when I update my pack

[calm girder]

« latch_ender_chest »

[fierce zephyr]

It would be interesting if you only configured the feature and it's not possible to generate it; it doesn't appear in /locate. I haven't tested it, but I think that if the feature can't generate it, it will still be located.

[calm girder]

so it’s really possible that every containers get its UI

texture

[worthy forum]

Jigsaw structures can already have variations in decorations already, that’s the whole point. It’s more like terrain features can be added on top of more complex looking decorations I would imagine.

[formal geyser]

What I understand is you just have different jigsaw layouts with those decorations placed

This is actual generation

I don't have any uses cases but I need to start exploring structures soon

[kind moth]

I don't think i like the fire icon being on the actual item.

i think this is good visually, but the layout should stay as it is now.

instead of overlaying one piece of useful information over another.

plus the actual progress arrow is missing

[formal geyser]

whose to say the animation changed, idk

Maybe it plays over the item slot as well now

[royal depot]

This.

Hope DDUI arrives in 1.26.10 as experimental. I want to play with it more.

[zenith delta]

yeah that has been there for ages now

[wintry parcel]

hey now

as one of like 4 people who know what a template pool is

i will have you know that

uhh

idk where im going with this actually

[balmy canyon]

So, I wait this from the next preview lol

T9 + my typing skills on mobile are insane

[gentle sluice]

not mentioning holograms like java

• wink wink

[rose coral]

Idk what those are.

[gentle sluice]

entity displays

thats what i meant

[fierce zephyr]

The placement filter is now only working for block filtering instead of support as well.

[snow gale]

these are definitely suggesting a new mon

[fierce zephyr]

This only happens with multi-block

[lapis elm]

Block tags in equipment is a category error

[hearty snow]

LETS GOOOOOOOO! IM SO HAPPY ITS BACK

[gritty prism]

blend machine broke

nvm its just typical blend on blend violence

[fierce zephyr]

But isn't blending for glass?

[gritty prism]

Yeah that's just the material instance the maker of the addon used

I might change it because I hate blend on blend violence

But like

I gotta go through so much shit 😭

[errant nymph]

9(!) block bugs were confirmed fixed today. Yippee! Down to 27.

features can now connect to a Jigsaw Block with any Target Name, rather than only minecraft:bottom

Does this mean features themselves can point back to jigsaws???

[dusk gyro]

Are block tags bugged? I know they changed them to be like items, but I'm still getting errors. Removing the tag component fixes it.

[errant nymph]

Let's check…

You're right.

I will ping them tomorrow.

[dusk gyro]

Thanks. I thought I was going crazy. Everything looked correct on my end.

[errant nymph]

Actually, I don't think anything from the new validation stuff shipped. I can still put flower pottable in permutations.

Fixed pickblock overriding items in hotbar with item_lock (MCPE-706240)
That issue doesn't exist. It's way above the current index.

[dusk gyro]

And here I just wanted to have a relaxing night updating my behavior pack.

[errant nymph]

NO

Also, I think minecraft:feature_pool_element may be bugged.

I can get it to work with Vanilla features but not custom ones.

Oh. It's not working with data-driven Vanilla features, either. Just the hidden ones like minecraft:desert_well_feature and minecraft:_huge_crimson_fungus_feature.

Yeah, I've gotta stop trying. I'm almost positive this is broken. Either that, or there's some setup I don't know about.

[lapis elm]

What is the difference between no_but_entity_effects_apply and no_but_side_effects_apply

[rose coral]

Defines how received damage affects the entity:
\n- "yes", received damage is applied to the entity and all consequences of the attack occur.
\n- "no", entity is unaffected and no side effects from attacking occur.
\n- "no_but_side_effects_apply", entity is unaffected, but the side effects of the attack apply. This means that the attacker's weapon loses durability.
\n- "no_but_entity_effects_apply", damage is not applied to the entity, but knockback and enchantments are applied and the attacker's weapon is used as normal. The entity does not flash red.

[junior rain]

ooo

[worthy forum]

At least the sculk patches should work because I think they are hardcoded

[worthy forum]

No, it just means you don’t need a specific target name in the jigsaw block to spawn features like you do on Java. This just makes it easier to have a bunch of single pool elements and feature pool elements in the same template pool.

[lapis elm]

Knockback and enchantments are considered side effects according to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_damage_sensor?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[errant nymph]

@left fiber: we didn't actually see this part of the changelog working:

The custom block json api has the following changes that will affect loading of block json with format version 1.26.20 and up.

[left fiber]

What do you mean not working? We are enforcing some schema rules, are you saying the old way still works?

[errant nymph]

I can try again, but a couple of us didn't see anything from that section working.

Such as:

• No minecraft:tags component
• No restriction of minecraft:flower_pottable to root components

Tried on 1.26.20 format version

[left fiber]

So you can still use Minecraft and that component IS restricted?

[errant nymph]

Here, let me just double-check.

[gritty prism]

Do you guys have any ideas or plans about improving blend or is that not in your area of work

[errant nymph]

Yeah, this isn't erroring but should be producing 2 errors, one for tag and one for flower_pottable:

{
    "format_version": "1.26.20",
    "minecraft:block": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "test:block3",
            "states": {"a:b": [false, true]}
        },
        "components": {
            "tag:water": {},
            "minecraft:geometry": "minecraft:geometry.full_block",
            "minecraft:material_instances": {
                "*": {"texture": "glowstone"}
            }
        },
        "permutations": [
            {
                "condition": "q.block_state('a:b')",
                "components": {
                    "minecraft:flower_pottable": {}
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

[left fiber]

My team is essentially all things blocks at the moment. What do you mean improve blend?

[gritty prism]

Stuff like this, I know blend shouldn't have been used here but it shouldn't have happened either

[gritty prism]

Theres also the last imagw

[rose coral]

Are we doing feature request, onNeighbourUpdate please /s

[gritty prism]

Where id like to have my block render from far away, be not fully opaque, and not rendering on top of each other

[left fiber]

Yes that’s on our radar

[rose coral]

Jokes aside, I want the snow layer render such as snow layer on top of grass block changes texture.

We either wait for:

• onNeighbourUpdate
• A specific thing in material instance or something that changes texture
  Our current approach was to use onTick but that killed perf.

[gritty prism]

Yeah I try to keep use of onTick to a minimum

And I don't use block entities at all

And one final ask is there any plans to allow OnRedstoneUpdate to see how much power is coming from a given direction and weather it is hard powered or not

Because just just check the surrounding blocks does account for the surrounding blocks not actually powering the block like say repeater thar isnt pointing into the block

[errant nymph]

Also, I have no clue who to contact about world-gen stuff.

[gritty prism]

John World Generation

[uncut sapphire]

Why are you using blend for this to begin with? It's really not meant for this kind of stuff. It could be improved (but not completely fixed), by sorting all transparent geometry, at the expense of performance, but you should really be using alpha test here

[gritty prism]

Here specifically is an addon made by someone else so you'd have to ask someone else

But in general making any block with complex geometry using blend just makes the game shit itself

Hell I still sometimes see faces get deleted out of existence even though im looking straight at them

[upbeat bane]

It happens with vanilla blocks like slime and beacons too, so I think improvement is definitely needed

Really beacons shouldn't be using blend anyway

[uncut sapphire]

Neither should glass tbh

[upbeat bane]

Im glad candles arent anymore

[gritty prism]

Also at least for alpha test id like to see an alpha_test to blend render method to provide at least a compromise with blocks like custom grass looking good close up and still looking fine far away

[rose coral]

🤑 Let's kill mobile and switch.

[gritty prism]

Huh?

[west star]

Would allow for better stuff 🔥

[left fiber]

Passed it along to my team to take a look. I’m technically on vacation so only so much I can do on my phone 😅

[rose coral]

Vas? Above and beyond?

[gritty prism]

I think its so they get rendered far away

[gritty prism]

Brother out here getting pressed by strangers on his free vacation time 😭

[gritty prism]

Which is like half the point of a beacon

[rose coral]

Only the beam needs to be seen, not the block.

BEACON WAYPOINTS WHEN

[gritty prism]

I mean if you can see the bottom of the beacon beam it would be weird to just see it coming out of a pyramid of iron

[errant nymph]

Why are you even here if you're on vacation? LOL. Enjoy your break.

[wintry sand]

thats an interesting use case

[wintry sand]

beacons are minecraft's waypoints

[elfin plover]

Not fully done, but here is a more interesting use case

[calm girder]

Programmer art plank 😬

[elfin plover]

lol, just used the oak one and a red color overlay over it

[fierce zephyr]

Very cool

I don't know why but I somehow misread this as being able to forcefully open an entity or block's inventory for a player. I am now sad.

[west star]

I think DDUI will be the one to forcefully do so, because @slim pine it was confirmed that DDUI will be receiving inventory, block container options in the future

Like making a block container through DDUI

Then probably doing checks through those signals/events

[uncut sapphire]

RIP UI in resource packs then

[rose coral]

Wdym?

[west star]

I don't see why regular UI wouldn't be in RP still

[rose coral]

DDUI files are in RP.

[west star]

Ohh

Lmao, I thought they were in script files in BP

I just thought DDUI and regular OreUI were going to be separated 😅

[uncut sapphire]

Nvm then. I was going to say that DDUI, like many other things, seems to be focusing on scripting capabilities exclusively with no ability to customise it via resource packs, but it is clearly not the case and at least something is being done, even though it currently can't be used, so that's nice.

[west star]

Also, what do .brachive files even do?

[uncut sapphire]

Yeah I forgot those exist. Hopefully they won't meet the fate of client side camera definitions and will be customizable via RPs

[rose coral]

For us? Nothing.

[west star]

Ah

[lean moth]

The idea (eventually, ignoring the modal form templates) is that you would put your visual stuff (layout files, style files, images, etc.) into the resource pack and from script you'd push the screen with data bindings for the data.

The whole "Lets craft a generic form programatically from script" isn't the disired end state. The desire is that people can make rich, detailed, intentional screens in the resource pack and "just" provide data from the server when they go to show it.

[rose coral]

🗿 Can we make DDUI from the new Text shapes.

[uncut sapphire]

Is there any possibility of eventually getting custom UI that can work exclusively in a resource pack, without requiring a BP? It would be cool if we can make custom, functional UI like showing number of arrows in the inventory; showing shield durability as an icon; debug screen with lots of info; interaction pop-ups like showing a bucket icon when pointing at a cow with an empty bucket in hand. Data for these kinds if screens can come from molang, or client scripting if/when that comes out.

[fierce zephyr]

Only server-ui

[fierce zephyr]

When we get a taste of it, it will be perfect.

[uncut sapphire]

It's cool to be able to customise the designs and layouts from resource packs, but currently a combination of json UI + entity rendering is flexible enough to create client-side functional UIs, similar to the ones I named above. So what I'm asking is, whether this use case of functional UI, without BP is something that we will be able to do in the future with the new UI system

[tranquil fog]

i just checked the changelog, i wished i had this half a year ago before i did annoying command stuff to get enderchest contents. ima rewrite my old script when it gets to stable.

[velvet wolf]

This is not something we're currently planning. Our UI focus right now is script driven (which is inherently server-based for the foreseeable future).

[calm girder]

That's a bit sad that you only focus on add-on creation first and resource pack mlater

that's one of my only complains about Ore UI

[nocturne scroll]

[calm girder]

RP can't customs the textures of any assets that OreUI uses

(it's also a reason why i like JSON more than OreUI)

[elfin plover]

@calm girder did you read this

[calm girder]

I haven't because I didn't see the message

[errant nymph]

By the way, @velvet wolf, I didn't see the new features-from-jigsaw stuff working with anything except Vanilla hardcoded features. Nothing data-driven seemed to work. I'm not sure if this is incomplete, I'm missing something, or if I should file a bug…

[calm girder]

That seem more complicated than just, replacing an existing texture (like we usually do in textures/ui/)

[elfin plover]

compatibility

[calm girder]

I understand that

but why they don't just do a textures/ddui instead

[oak salmon]

waiting for client side scripting

[velvet wolf]

Sounds like the PR just missed branch cut. So it should be in next week.

[errant nymph]

Ah, heh.

Thanks.

[pulsar panther]

Attempted to make my own shadow text since TextPrimitive doesn't have it but if depthTest is set to false, even when the second text is rendered behind it ends up having issues and overlays incorrectly just from moving from one side to another. This issue doesn't occur when set to true.

I guess depthTest also chooses to ignore it's own self (other text).

[elfin plover]

could be fixed with a junky work around, but better report it

[worthy forum]

Yay feature_pool_element fix next week

[pulsar panther]

Cool 👍

It's nice that they added RawText to this

[oak salmon]

Finally. Text displays

[pulsar panther]

Shame we can't do TextPrimitive.font() or something. Would be cool to just use MinecraftTen or MinecraftFive font like this but since RawText was added I guess back to glyphs for now lol

[elfin plover]

i have an idea, but navi will not approve

[pulsar panther]

Go on...

[gritty prism]

??????

[fierce zephyr]

I've never seen those mistakes before.

[gritty prism]

literally all my shit using scripting 2.0 is broken wtf

[nocturne estuary]

happening to me too

like wtf

it just started happening today

[graceful pebble]

Same, literally unusable rn for development

[rose coral]

What format version are you using?

Because Alien Edds had this convo here #add-ons message

Seems theyre ab testing.

[junior rain]

That makes a lot of sense

[nocturne estuary]

my blocks weren't using 26.10 for the format version though

also i did try changing a block to use 26.20 and it was still broken

[gritty prism]

1.21.130 😭

[west star]

Why don't you update?

[gritty prism]

I dont need to

[sage quartz]

im forwarding alot of these here just in case

but ive been seeing severe texture corruption since the last few previews

[nocturne scroll]

It's actually not just this Preview. It has happened to me a lot more than you think

[sage quartz]

ive never seen any of this occur once in stable

its been perfectly fine since the texture streaming toggle has been added

which i also have off

[nocturne scroll]

Pretty sure I've had it happen to me in stable but I'll have to make sure later

While it's a fun bug, it does mean that you'll have to either reload the world and at times restart the game

[sage quartz]

it happens regardless of resource pack

[elfin plover]

does the devs have there content log turned off

[sage quartz]

heres the thing right. even with restarting or reloading something else just breaks instead

it changes with every reload

sometimes my crosshair is some random mob texture, sometimes i just dont have a crosshair, sometimes the menu is broken, it changes and sometimes the game is broken immediately on restart

ive reinstalled, scan/repair, basically everything. stable is perfectly fine. been an issue for me at least since texture streaming

resource pack doesnt matter either. happens with none applied

[nocturne scroll]

This shade of pink looks lovely imo

[sage quartz]

this corruption stuff makes it very hard to actually do anything

[nocturne scroll]

Yeah-

[sage quartz]

apparently after searching, its been an issue since like 1.21.100 at least.

[nocturne scroll]

That sounds more like it

[nocturne scroll]

And about this, it's funny how all the shelf textures are just gone

[elfin plover]

wait yeah
i thought that was my doing, sense missing with the atlas texture does some weird stuff sometimes

[sage quartz]

more corruption

[nocturne scroll]

The inventory does look cool though

[elfin plover]

kinda weird that i never ever had the texture swapping bug or the pink one

[sage quartz]

ive never had this issue till now

the last 3 previews have had it

but i cant really give a detailed report on it because idk what causes it

it just happens

[elfin plover]

seem inconsistent

[sage quartz]

the "fix" is to just not play the game, and the cause is just playing the game

[elfin plover]

i didn't have it, i do play previews and test stuff there

[sage quartz]

guess im now one of the unlucky ones stuck with it

ive tried all things that should work

like a scan/repair

[elfin plover]

is it just one device?

[sage quartz]

only happening on my desktop

mobile and laptop dont have the issue

for me

[nocturne scroll]

It's inconsistent for me. It only starts happening when I restart my world several times, but I wonder if it's something that has to do with NVIDIA GPUs?

[sage quartz]

could be an NV issue

im not sure tho

cuz for me its consistent from the time i start the game, to the time i leave. something is always broken, even if its small

[elfin plover]

probably not
i have nvidia gpu
but maybe newer ones

[sage quartz]

if i knew what caused it i could try and repeat it on my other systems but im not sure. its also tough to narrow down if its NV exclusively because my laptop is also NV

and i dont trust the AMD Igpu to actually be able to play the game

[slim pine]

I just got this too, it was working yesterday

Zero changes made

[nova dagger]

I had this issue even in stable v26

[sage quartz]

Yea I realized it's not preview exclusive

Thought it was texture streaming bugs

But if it was it shouldn't be happening cuz I have it off

[nova dagger]

But i actually also have an AMD pc

[sage quartz]

Nice so that can also be ruled out

We love bugs with no clear cause

[nova dagger]

Since the new versions i also cant use any type of skins on servers but they closed my bug report as „Working as intended“ so no more skins for me i guess

[slim pine]

Found a bug report for it, MCPE-237057.

Seemed to spontaneously start occurring today for no clear reason, for several people.

[worn cargo]

Can you tell me what can we do with feature pool element

[worthy forum]

place features in structures

its bugged rn however

[worn cargo]

But how can we use

[worn cargo]

Did there adden anything in jigsaw ui.

[worthy forum]

template pool elements

[worn cargo]

Oh ok

[balmy canyon]

New preview soon! Hope we'll get rtx change as it was last preview!

[sick comet]

I'm a few days late but do you have your fps slider set to unlimited?

That's a common cause for this issue and has been the issue for me in the past

[sage quartz]

Not sure cuz I don't think the slider exists anymore

[sick comet]

it does under fancy graphics options

[sage quartz]

Ah

It's probably on unlimited yes

[sick comet]

yeah that'll be your issue then if so

set it to anything else and it should fix it, maybe after a restart

[sage quartz]

Weird thing to cause issues

[tawny quartz]

Now that we are getting container components, is it possible that we are also getting a way to force a player to open a container?

[fierce zephyr]

No

[kind moth]

ah yes i love purple shelf

this is clearly a hint for the end update

[balmy canyon]

I hate this bug lmao

My OS crached after i started minecraft. I love windows 11!

[slim pine]

They said they added a MERS map for it. I guess they had to trade something else for it, the albedo.

[balmy canyon]

This preview was fire. End flashes for RTX is somthing I wnated for a long time

This is not like a new RTX feature, but it works

[snow gale]

is it only me, or is this just a video of a pink bulb in the sky?

[royal depot]

Is textPrimitive specifically a preview thing? I can't remember if a form of it can be used in experimental.

[native hatch]

Currently preview, yes
But it should be coming to Beta APIs in 26.20 release
