New Features and Bug Fixes
Biomes
- Music volume will now gradually decrease to zero upon entering a Pale Garden and resume gradually upon leaving.
Pale Garden
- Added the Pale Oak Sapling, Eyeblossoms, Pale Moss Block, and Hanging Pale Moss to the Wandering Trader’s inventory (MCPE-187456).
Blocks
- The flammability of Pale Moss, Pale Moss Carpet, and Hanging Pale Moss has been adjusted. They now catch fire more slowly but burn faster once ignited.
- These blocks can now be set on fire with Lava.
- The attenuation drop-off rate for Hanging Pale Moss and Creaking Heart ambient sounds is now linear, allowing the sounds to be heard from greater distances (MCPE-187326).
- Eyeblossoms now make sound when opening and closing.
- Open Eyeblossoms now emit ambient sounds when placed on a Pale Moss Block.
- Hanging Pale Moss now matches the model seen in the Java Edition (MCPE-187397).
- Eyeblossoms in the world or in Flower Pots now emit particles when opening or closing.
- Pale Oak Leaves now emit falling leaf particles.
Creaking Heart
- The distance over which the Creaking Heart can spread Resin Clumps has been reduced by one block.
- Resin Clumps can now only spread to Pale Oak Log, Stripped Pale Oak Log, Pale Oak Wood, and Stripped Pale Oak Wood.
Resin Bricks
- Recipes for Resin Brick Slabs, Stairs, and Walls now provide the same number of blocks as those for Nether Bricks (MCPE-187707, MCPE-187795, MCPE-187796).
- Developer’s Note: Counting can be tricky sometimes.
Resin Clump
- Mobs can now correctly pathfind over Resin Clumps (MCPE-187778).
Commands
- Translated rawtexts containing extra percentage signs now expand correctly for numbered forms (“%%%%1”), compared to non-numbered ones (“%%%%s”). (MCPE-171001)
- The Effect command now properly displays duration in seconds in the notification message after applying an effect (MCPE-186963).
Features
- Standardized which blocks trees can replace while growing, with a few exceptions (MCPE-187302, MCPE-187301).
- All trees can now grow through leaves, except for Cherry trees, which cannot grow through their own leaves (MCPE-168029).
- All trees can grow on dirt-like blocks (MCPE-187739).
- Tall Grass now properly generates with its upper part in the Pale Garden biome (MCPE-187308).
- Tall Grass now properly generates with its upper part in the Lush Caves biome (MCPE-125799).
Gameplay
- Holding the jump button while falling onto a Slime Block no longer cancels the bounce (MCPE-185354).
- Sneaking while landing on a Slime Block now prevents fall damage.
- Developer’s Note: The intended method for stopping a bounce on a Slime Block is now to sneak. Previously, players could hold the jump button to stop bouncing, but that was an unintended oversight.
- The new player jump behavior now always selects the greater value between existing vertical velocity and jump velocity.
