UPDATED EDIT WORLD SCREEN

The latest Bedrock Preview introduces a new way of editing your worlds in a new redesigned experience. Some features are not supported yet, but we wanted to give you an early look at what we’re building. An updated Edit World experience will gradually be rolled out to players starting today.

Changes: Edit World is being updated with improved navigation, more descriptions, and a new look and feel that matches the new Create New World Screen. It’ll be rolled out gradually across Android, iOS, Windows, and Xbox in the following days. We’re still working on some things, like support for other platforms, and some minor bugs and improvements. We need some more time to work on these features in order to provide the best possible experience. We would love to hear what you think! Share your feedback on the Feedback Site and put “Edit World” in the title so we can find it.

REALMS

  • Introduced Realms Stories, a new social hub for your Realm
  1. Realms Stories features include:
  2. The Story Feed – lets you share your greatest gameplay moments with your fellow Realm members
  3. The Timeline – lets you see when other members are playing on the Realm
  4. The Members tab – shows a list of all Realm members and their permission levels

  • Please note that Realms Stories will not be accessible the first time you launch 1.20.60.23. To use Realms Stories, launch the game, close it, and then launch it again.
  • You can find more details about this feature on the feedback site, where we also hope you will share your thoughts about the feature.
  • Known issues:
  1. The Story Feed won't update with new stories posted by other users until you exit Realms Stories and come back
  2. Users that have been invited to the Realm but have not yet joined, and prior members who were in the Realm but have since left, will show up in the Members tab
  3. Notifying owners about stories/comments doesn't work
  4. Clicking the 'Manage Members' button as a Realm owner can result in a hang
  5. Comments may not always appear properly
  6. Screen-reader narration isn't finished
  7. Realm members don't see themselves in the Members tab 

TECHNICAL UPDATES

ADD-ONS AND SCRIPT ENGINE

  • The "minecraft:geometry.full_block" identifier for the "minecraft:geometry" block component has been added
  1. The "minecraft:geometry.full_block" identifier provides a centered 1x1x1 cube geometry
  2. When combined with a material_instances component with "render_layer": "opaque", it enables rendering-only capabilities previously included in the "minecraft:unit_cube" component including:
  1. Occludes both vanilla and custom neighboring full blocks
  2. Culls faces that neighbor vanilla and custom neighboring full blocks to improve rendering performance

  • Add content error logging to help creators identify content that hits or exceeds the state bit/permutation count per block (MCPE-177045)

GENERAL

  • Updated listed values for the Vanilla "orientation" block state in documentation

API

  • Added Biome Registry biome names and StructureFeatureType enum to vanilla metadata generation

COMPONENTS

  • Added an "interact_filters" field to the "ageable" component, which allows to specify conditions on when the actor can be fed

EDITOR

The Editor and its corresponding API are in early development, and available for keyboard/mouse on Windows PC Bedrock Preview builds. Tag us on social channels with #BedrockEditor.

Learn how to use the Editor, join the GitHub Discussion discussion forum to engage with the team, and get started building extensions via the starter kit and samples.

Updates this week:

  • Default block for BlockType in Selection tool is now 'grass'.
  • Scripted property panes will now be scrollable once they reach a certain height.

  • Added new bindings and support for scripts to be able to push a TypeScript object as a payload on to the transaction stack, and register a set of handler functions which will receive the payload when the transaction system receives an undo or redo event
  • A Navigation record system has been added to Editor. View the GitHub release notes for more details on features and functionality. 
  • Added an export for stringFromExtension so that it can be used in both internal and external Creator extensions
  • A new line tool is added to the Editor. View the GitHub release notes for more details on features and functionality.

Improvements in Minecraft 1.20.60.23 Update 

The Minecraft 1.20.60.23 update brings some cool stuff that makes the game even better. They added a cute new creature called the armadillo that rolls up when it's scared. It drops special things called armadillo scutes, which you can use to make armor for your pet wolves. These armadillos hang out in savannas and don't like sprinting players or undead monsters, so they roll up when they see them. Plus, they won't roll up if they're swimming or flying.

Apart from the armadillos, they fixed a bunch of things too. Like how players sometimes got hurt unexpectedly when building blocks at certain heights, or how the game could crash when jumping between different places too quickly. There are also smaller changes, like making the game look better on certain consoles and making it easier to join your friends' worlds. This update makes Minecraft more fun with new creatures and fixes that make the game smoother to play.

Minecraft Gameplay 

In Minecraft, you get to explore a big 3D world made of blocks where you're free to do whatever you want. You start by picking up these blocks like dirt, stone, trees, and water where you can put them down anywhere to build stuff. You can even dig deep underground or climb tall mountains. There are no strict rules on what you should do, so you can be super creative and build amazing structures, like houses or even entire cities.

But it's not all about building! You'll meet different creatures in the game, like friendly animals and some not-so-friendly ones that show up at night. You can hunt animals for food and materials, but you'll also need to watch out for monsters like zombies and exploding creatures called creepers. You can explore caves, make cool tools, and even create machines using a special material called redstone. 

Fresherslive brings you the pulse of the games world, where you can stay updated and elevate your gameplay.  Our platform empowers you to become the best gamer you can be.
