Gameplay and Visuals: A Smoother, Shinier World
What’s it like to pause mid-block-break without the animation lingering like an uninvited guest? This update ensures the block-breaking animation halts when you open the Pause Menu, keeping your screen crisp. New players, this means less visual clutter as you learn; pros, it’s a small but satisfying polish for fast-paced builds.
Graphically, the game dazzles with Vibrant Visuals fixes. End Crystal and Beacon beams now animate smoothly, and weather like rain or storms shifts the sky’s colors and lighting dynamically—imagine crafting under a thunderous, vivid sky! Graphics settings are now at the top of the video menu for quick tweaks, and interactable blocks highlight correctly even without outline selection. How will these changes make your builds pop?
Mobs with Personality: Foxes, Endermen, and More
Picture a Fox scampering through a forest, clutching a non-stackable item like a proud treasure hunter! This update fixes Foxes to pick up such items and hold them properly, not wear them as armor. Endermen step up too, now able to grab any block type from Java Edition and place them via commands, just like Foxes or Allays. No more sneaky block-stealing without line-of-sight or misplaced blocks—Endermen are sharper than ever. And in Swamps, watch for Bogged spawning as Spider Jockeys for a thrilling surprise!
For taming fans, angered Wolves can’t be leashed until tamed, adding strategy to your adventures. Which mob’s new behavior excites you most to test?
Interface and Parity: Seamless and Unified
Ever hit the wrong gamepad buttons and saw the death screen while alive? That glitch is gone, ensuring a smoother UI. New audio tab previews let you hear settings before applying, perfect for customizing your vibe. On the parity front, Endermen’s block-carrying aligns with Java Edition, creating consistency across platforms. How might these tweaks streamline your gameplay?
Technical Goodies: For Creators and Tinkerers
Modders and scripters, this one’s for you! New AI goals—minecraft:behavior.take_block and minecraft:behavior.place_block—replace older Enderman behaviors, letting entities pick up or place blocks with customizable ranges, chances, and triggers. Imagine designing a mob that builds for you! The @n command targets the closest entity, opening doors for precise redstone traps or automation.
API updates move components like BlockMovableComponent and MovementType to stable 2.0.0, while block rendering methods like alpha_test_to_opaque revert to opaque at a distance for visual clarity. The Editor tool gains tooltips, updated keybindings, and a structure repository shift for smoother creation. Plus, Molang’s query.is_carrying_block now works for all entities, and texture parsing clamps weights for stability. What creative project could these spark?
