Recipe Unlocking

  • We tested having a notification that informed you about new ways of creating recipes youve already unlocked. It didnt feel helpful. Do you know how many ways there are to make sticks?! Yeah, a lot. We are removing this version of the unlocking notification
  • Spectator mode is for spectating. Not unlocking recipes! With this fix recipes wont unlock when youre in spectator mode ( MCPE-171073 )
  • Unlocking a new recipe no longer sets the inventory toggle option to be "All". The craftable toggle will now reliably stay the way you left it

  • Players can now be forced into sneak/crawl state while flying

General

Dedicated Server

  • Fixed invalid entries in allowlist.json causing crash ( BDS-18133 )

Add-Ons and Script Engine

  • Actually fixed the bug that caused player capes to stop flapping when moving forward but looking sideways in the query.cape_flap_amount by switching the rotation used from the player's looking rotation to the player's body rotation ( MCPE-153446 )
  • Observer blocks use state "minecraft:facing_direction" instead of "facing_direction". "minecraft:facing_direction" uses string values ("down", "up", "north", "south", "east", "west")
