Experimental Technical Updates

##API

  • Added BlockComponentRedstoneUpdateEvent, which can be subscribed by custom block components
  • Added onRedstoneUpdate custom component subscription in beta with the following conditions
    • Block has minecraft:redstone_consumer component, otherwise CONTENT_ERROR is thrown
    • Subscription is not queued if the BlockComponentRedstoneUpdateEvent.powerLevel is less than minecraft:redstone_consumer field min_power
      Here is an example of a custom component json and the subscription script:
{
	"format_version": "1.21.130",
	"minecraft:block": {
		"description": {
			"identifier": "test:custom_block"
		},
		"components": {
			"minecraft:redstone_consumer": {
				"min_power": 10,
				"propogates_power": true
			},
			"test:custom_component": {}
		}
	}
}

import { system } from '@minecraft/server-wrapper';
system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(init => {
    init.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("test:custom_component", {
        onRedstoneUpdate: _ => {
            //insert logic here
        }
    });
});

Blocks

  • We now will mirror the minecraft:corner block state when used within a structure
  • Added minecraft:redstone_consumer component behind the Upcoming Creator Features experiment. A component describing how a block can consume and potentially propogate a redstone signal
    • Contains optional field min_power which defines the minimum value for incoming signal stregth. If signal strength is greater than or equal to this value then the onRedstoneUpdate event is sent to Scripts. Defaults to 0 meaning event is always emitted
    • Contains optional field propogates_power a Boolean to control whether a signal can pass through this block or not, defaults to false
    • This component is currently not available for block permutations

    • Example:

      {
	"format_version": "1.21.130",
	"minecraft:block": {
		"description": {
			"identifier": "test:custom_consumer_block"
		},
		"components": {
			"minecraft:redstone_consumer": {
				"min_power": 5,
				"propogates_power": true
			}
		}
	}
}
  • Modified minecraft:material_instances block component
    • Removed redundant experimental field shaded formerly named emissive
    • Same effect can be achieved with existing fields, example below
"minecraft:material_instances" : {
	"*": {
		"texture": "my_texture",
		"render_method": "opaque",
		"face_dimming": false,
		"ambient_occlusion", false
	}
}
  • Added minecraft:leashable block component, which allows custom blocks to receive a lead attachment, including an offset field to change the position of the leash knot. Currently only available with "Upcoming Creator Features" enabled

Graphical

  • Fixed an error where Marketplace content containing local_lighting.json could spam content errors (MCPE-1498487)
  • Added Colored Static Block Lighting under the Render Dragon Features for Creators toggle
    • Feature is only available in Previews and using Vibrant Visuals in worlds which the experiment toggle is active
      • Temporarily disabled on Android and PlayStation due to technical issues
    • Static lights can be defined in local_lighting.json using "light_type": "static_light"
    • Blocks with the "point_light" light_type will also receive colored static lighting
    • Static lighting follows Minecraft lighting rules and respects the minecraft:light_emission and minecraft:light_dampening block components
    • Static lighting is additive/accumulated, so overlapping lights of different colors will cause lighting to get brighter
      • Overlapping lights of the same type (i.e. same color and light_emission) will not cause lighting to get brighter
    • Static lighting is not affected by stained glass or other translucent blocks
    • The static lighting experimental feature is under development and may look or behave different as development progresses
