`@minecraft/server-net`

HttpsOnlyError - HTTPS required but non-HTTPS URI provided

Blocks

Blocks using the minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction value of minecraft:placement_direction now will correctly form inner corners when there are other stairs next to them (MCPE-232019)
Fixed rotation issue for blocks in item frames that use "minecraft:geometry.full_block" for Json "format_version" >= 1.26.0 (MCPE-234715)
- Used to define a block composed of multiple block parts. A multi block treats all individual parts as a single block, like Door blocks
- The selection box can be extended for the size of the multi block, by setting "minecraft:selection_box" to true and the trait will update it based on the parts total and geoemtry size
- The trait combines the AABBs from the "minecraft:selection_box" for each part.
  - So if this is in the components section: "minecraft:selection_box": {"origin": [-8, 0, 5], "size": [16, 16, 3] }
  - Then each part will have an AABB of 16x16x3 and when the player looks at the multi block the outline AABB will be a combined 16x16x9(in world space)
- Enables new state minecraft:multi_block_part
- Required direction property used to define which direction the block parts are placed from 0 to N. Valid values are limited to "up" and "down"
- Optional part_count property used to initialize state minecraft:multi_block_part, valid value range is [2, 4]
- Command inspection & api support will be coming in an upcoming preview Example:

  - "bobbing", makes the entity move up and down at a constant pace
  - "none", doesn't do anything

User Interface

Updated the default Editor UI zoom level from 75% to 100% for improved out-of-box accessibility and readability.
Users with previously saved preferences are unaffected—their saved zoom level will continue to be restored.

Entity Components

Added the ability to pause and reset growth of entities in minecraft:ageable using specified items
- Introduced field "pause_growth_items", which is a list of items that can be fed to the entity to pause growth for baby entities
- Introduced field "reset_growth_items", which is a list of items that can be fed to the entity to reset growth for baby entities
- Introduced ActorDefinitionTrigger field "reset_growth" to trigger an event when aging is reset for baby entities
- Introduced ActorDefinitionTrigger field "pause_growth" to trigger an event when aging is paused for baby entities
A content warning will throw if the amount of experience orbs requested to be spawned in a single tick exceeds the recommended max of 512. It is possible that performance will degrade when a large number of experience orbs are spawned at once.
Split the minecraft:pushable component into two new components:
- minecraft:pushable_by_block is the equivalent of setting "is_pushable_by_piston": true
  - If minecraft:pushable_by_block exists on the entity then Pistons and Shulker Boxes can attempt to push it
  - Removing minecraft:pushable_by_block is the equivalent of setting "is_pushable_by_piston": false
- minecraft:pushable_by_entity is the equivalent of setting setting "is_pushable": true
  - If minecraft:pushable_by_entity exists on the entity then other entities can attempt to push it
  - Removing minecraft:pushable_by_entity is the equivalent of setting "is_pushable": false
- The component minecraft:pushable will no longer be parsed

Entity Filters

Added the "is_tamed" entity filter, telling if the subject entity is tamed (MCPE-234672)

Features

Fixed feature loading to allow for sub-directories and any filename, will now only use identifier in JSON.

##Gameplay

Camera splines and attach entity APIs are now out of experimental

General

Fixed an issue where 'minecraft://?addExternalServer' and other similar URIs might not work when containing URL-encodable characters. (MCPE-232900)
Upgraded actor JSON resources to Cereal slice 1.26.0 and re-serialized to align with the updated schema.

Graphical

The colored block lighting feature is no longer restricted to the Render Dragon Features for Creator Experiment
- To enable this feature, PBR resource packs must include a local_lighting.json with static_light entries. Blocks that do not have a static_light and light_color specified via a provided resource pack will be treated as non-colored lighting and use the standard uniform light color.
- See Local Lights documentation for more information
Static colored lighting on flowing lava and other blocks no longer appears too dark in Vibrant Visuals.
Adding static_light shading to data driven entities in Vibrant Visuals.
Added static_light shading to more entities and items in Vibrant Visuals.
Static colored lighting no longer leaks through corners in Vibrant Visuals.
Adjusted the light attenuation of static colored block lighting to be less intense
Fixed issue with z-fighting on the Brewing Stand and Stonecutter on PlayStation in certain lighting conditions.
Custom blocks with ambient occlusion disabled do not have the occasional black vertex issue anymore
Improve ambient occlusion for blocks using a custom geometry
Fixed issue that caused the spyglass full screen effect to brighten the scene in Vibrant Visuals.
Fixed an issue that caused the End Portal to have invisible panels in Vibrant Visuals.
Removed ESSL_300 shader language support
Began rollout of a new texture streaming feature available in Preview for some selected devices. Toggling on this feature will reduce the GPU memory for certain textures, especially when multiple Add-Ons or packs are in use.
- This feature is toggled off by default and can be found in Video Settings.
- Note that the availability of this toggle for devices may change over subsequent releases.
Fixed gamma encoding of sun, moon, weather, and end sky in Vibrant Visuals mode.
Vibrant visuals now correctly support grayscale crushed images in texture sets
Fixed sky light calculations being applied multiple times per chunk, causing excessive memory usage.
Static/Colorized block lighting in Vibrant Visuals is no longer restricted to Preview builds
- Known issue around empty chunks not propagating colors will be fixed in a future update

Item

The minecraft:block_placer item component has a new boolean field "aligned_placement" (MCPE-234686)
- When true, block placement through this item will be aligned while holding the interaction button down
- It is defaulted to false
- It is supported from format version 1.26.0 onward

JSON Schema

Updating the canopy_decoratorschema to support placing several blocks in a row as a decorator. New schema includes decoration_blocks_sequence as a list of blocks and a count per block to be placed. This aims to replace decoration_block and num_steps, however the old format is still supported but if both are give the new one is prioritised. Example of new format:

 "canopy_decoration" : {
        "decoration_blocks_sequence" : [
          {
            "block": "minecraft:bedrock",
            "count": 1
          },
          {
            "block": "minecraft:dirt",
            "count": [1, 2]
          },
          {
            "block": "minecraft:stone",
            "count": {
              "range_min": 1,
              "range_max": 2
            }
          }
        ],
        "decoration_chance": {
          "numerator": 1,
          "denominator": 4
        },
        "step_direction": "out"
      }

User Interface

Fixed bug that made buttons at the top of the Marketplace screen difficult to select with controller

Experimental Technical Updates

Add-Ons and Script Engine

Added experimental toggle "Voxel Shapes" which enables the use of voxel shapes on Vanilla and custom blocks
- Voxel shapes are currently only used for occlusion/culling.
- Currently, only unit cube Vanilla blocks have a voxel shape associated. With this experiment enabled, custom blocks with a voxel shape will only cull against Vanilla unit cube blocks or other custom blocks with a voxel shape.

API

Added minimum, maximum, or both bounds to several APIs.
Fixed EntityHurtBeforeEvent.cancel to not allow some sources of knockback (sprint bonus, enchantment, mace smash, projectiles) when set to true
Moved localizationKey property on ItemType, EntityType, BlockType, and BlockPermutation from beta to stable.
This release introduces new UI capabilities called Data-Driven UI (DDUI). These APIs introduce a new way to create modal forms with new capabilities and an all new look. New modal forms is the first step in our UI journey for creators. Stay tuned for more features in future updates!
- More information can be found here: Introduction to the Data-Driven UI (DDUI) Framework
- Known Issues:
  1. You need to wait a tick between programmatically closing a CustomForm/MessageBox and opening another.
  2. Showing a CustomForm/MessageBox while UI is already up "queues" the UI to show up instead of failing like the previous form APIs.
  3. CustomForms will only update after being shown via Observables, you cannot add a new button/dropdown/slider/etc while the form is shown.
Reload command. Now it closes all the Data Driven UI screens as part of the execution.
ScriptSetBannerDetailsFunction now includes base color and pattern data.
Fixed an issue with DebugBox where the position was being used as the bottom-left corner, instead of the centre. .
Fixed an issue with DebugShape.attachedTo where the attachment position was unintentionally using the height offset of the entity.
Game Test
- When running /gametest run <test> on a game tests with an invalid structure, the game test is no longer spawned at the world ceiling.
Added dedicatedServer optional global to beta of server-admin for accessing dedicated server only APIs
Added DedicatedServerUtils to beta of server-admin with dedicated server only APIs
Added LevelStorage to beta of server-admin with dedicated server save state management APIs
Added LevelStorageQuerySnapshotFile to beta of server-admin
Added AllowList to beta of server-admin with dedicated server allow list management APIs
Added function Entity.addItem for directly giving items to a mob or player.
Added Block.getParts method behind beta. Returns an array of Block parts if the block has the minecraft:multi_block trait
Observable is a new class that fires change events when the data it is wrapping changes
- CustomForm and MessageBox use these to sync data between the client and the server and you can use observables to get notifications if data changes
- Localizable messages can be provided by using the interface UIRawMessage.
TickingAreaManager
- Changed createTickingArea() to return Promise<void> instead of Promise<TickingArea> in beta
Added locatorBar property to beta - Manages the collection of waypoints displayed on this player's locator bar
Added Waypoint class to beta - Base class for waypoints displayed on the player's locator bar
Added EntityWaypoint class to beta - Waypoint that tracks an entity's position
Added PlayerWaypoint class to beta - Waypoint that tracks a player's position with player-specific visibility rules
Added LocationWaypoint class to beta - Waypoint that points to a fixed location in the world
Added WaypointTexture enum to beta - Enum representing different texture icons for waypoints
Added WaypointTextureBounds interface to beta - Defines a texture and distance range for waypoint display
Added WaypointTextureSelector interface to beta - Defines how waypoint textures change based on distance
Added EntityVisibilityRules interface to beta - Controls waypoint visibility based on entity state
Added PlayerVisibilityRules interface to beta - Controls waypoint visibility based on player-specific states
Added LocatorBar class to beta - Manages the collection of waypoints displayed on a player's locator bar
Added LocatorBarError error class to beta - Error thrown when a locator bar operation fails
Added LocatorBarErrorReason enum to beta - Enum representing reasons why locator bar operations fail
Added InvalidWaypointError error class to beta - Error thrown when attempting operations on an invalid waypoint
Added InvalidWaypointTextureSelectorError error class to beta - Error thrown when using WaypointTextureSelector size over limit

Server-UI DDUI

Changed Class CustomForm
- Changed return of method show(): Promise<void> to Promise<boolean> where returning true means it was shown and false means it was not shown.
- Added isShowing(): boolean method.
Changed Class MessageBox
- Added isShowing(): boolean method.
Changed interface MessageBoxResult.
- Added property wasShown which is set to true if the message box was shown to the player.

Blocks

Added culling_shape field to minecraft:geometry component behind the VoxelShapes toggle.
- The value should be an identifier of a voxel shape and can refer to either a custom voxel shape file, minecraft:unit_cube, or minecraft:empty.
- If the VoxelShapes experiment is enabled and a shape is not specified, minecraft:empty will be used by default if the block does not use minecraft:geometry.full_block.
Blocks can handle the following entity events in scripting through the "onEntity" handler:
- Custom named events:
  - "on_home" from "minecraft:behavior.go_home"
  - “on_escape” from "minecraft:behavior.avoid_block"
  - "on_reach" from "minecraft:behavior.move_to_block"
  - "on_place" from "minecraft:behavior.place_block"
  - "on_take" from "minecraft:behavior.take_block"
- Unlike the current vanilla blocks that handle those events, custom blocks may receive those events up to one tick after they were emitted, depending on how late in the tick the event was emitted.
Added Block trait minecraft:multi_block behind 'Upcoming Creator Features' experiment
Added some Json constraints for blocks with trait minecraft:multi_block
- Component "minecraft:movable" must be defined and cannot be defined in permutations. Valid values for "movement_type" are "popped" or "immovable"
- Component "minecraft:placement_filter" cannot be defined in permutations
Added minecraft:chest_obstruction component under the Upcoming Creator Features toggle
It defines how a block placed above a chest or ender_chest should obstruct their opening
- "obstruction_rule" (Optional): Specifies how the block is evaluated during chest opening if placed above; "shape" is the default when not specified.
  - "always": Will always obstruct a chest from opening.
  - "never" : Will never obstruct a chest from opening.
  - "shape" : Will use the Blocks AABB shape to determine if the chest is obstructed from opening.
- Blocks prior to 26.10 will behave as expected based on their defined geometry and material instances
- Example:

	"format_version": "26.10",
	"minecraft:block": {
		"description": {
			"identifier": "test:test_block"
		},
		"components": {
			"minecraft:chest_obstruction": {
				"obstruction_rule": "always"
			}
		}
	}

Voxel Shapes

Fixed voxel shape loading to properly validate custom shape files. (MCPE-235789)
- Individual boxes must now be within the allowed bounds of (-14, -14, -14) to (30, 30, 30) pixels.
- At least one box must overlap the base block (0-16 pixels on all axes).
- Total shape extent cannot exceed 30 pixels (1 block + 14 pixels) on any axis.
Fixed rare crash on PS5 native due to inconsistency of packet ordering
Fixed content warnings for unit cube and empty shapes that appear when joining a voxel shape enabled world as a client

DDUI

Fixed scroll bar for message box
- It was showing all the time, now it is only rendered when needed

Graphical

Removed the legacy format for specifying light colors in the "Render Dragon for Creators" experiment. point_lights/global.json will no longer be loaded. Creators should migrate to the newer format of local_lighting/local_lighting.json.
