'''Beta 1.21.40.22''' (ChromeOS, Android) or '''Preview 1.21.40.22''' (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox, PlayStation) is the third beta/''Preview'' version for [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.21.40]], released on September 18, 2024,<ref>{{cite|url=https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/30356048742413|title=Minecraft Beta & Preview - 1.21.40.22|website=Minecraft Feedback|date=September 18, 2024}}</ref> which adds dyed [[Minecraft:bundle]]s in all 16 colors, and fixes bugs.

== Changes ==
=== General ===
'''[[Minecraft:Realms]]'''
*Added a new Realm Event.
[[File:New UI - Play Screen Menu "Realms" Tab (Bedrock Preview 1.21.40.22).png|380px|thumb|New Play Screen "Realms" Tab.]]

=== Mobs ===
'''[[Minecraft:Bat]]s'''
*Updated the rules under which they spawn in the world:
**Bats can now spawn at any height, provided the area is covered and sufficiently dark.
**They must spawn on one of the following blocks: stone, granite, diorite, andesite, tuff, or deepslate.
**As a result, bats may now happen to spawn above the surface.

=== Technical ===
'''[[Minecraft:API]]'''
*Moved {{cd|getRedstonePower}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|1.15.0}}.

'''[[Minecraft:Block]]s'''
*Updated the jigsaw block:
**Updated the jigsaw block UI.
**Added selection priority and placement priority fields.
*Updated references to old block names in behavior pack color recipe files.
*Updated references to old block names in behavior pack feature files.
*Updated references to old block names in biome definition files.

'''[[Minecraft:Commands/camera|Camera]]'''
*The {{cd|minecraft:follow_orbit}} preset is no longer behind the experimental toggle.

'''Components'''
*Moved the {{cd|minecraft:redstone_conductivity}} component out of the Upcoming Creator Features experiment for {{cd|format_versions}} {{cd|1.21.30}} and above.

'''Entity Components'''
*Expanded {{cd|minecraft:explode}} with the following new fields:
**{{cd|damage_scaling}}: A scale factor applied to the explosion's damage to entities. A value of 0 prevents the explosion from dealing any damage. Negative values cause the explosion to heal entities instead:
**{{cd|toggles_blocks}}: If true, the explosion will toggle blocks in the explosion radius.
**{{cd|knockback_scaling}}: A scale factor applied to the knockback force caused by the explosion.
**{{cd|particle_effect}}: The name of the particle effect to use. The accepted strings are {{cd|wind_burst}} or {{cd|breeze_wind_burst}}. All other inputs will use the default explosion particles.
**{{cd|sound_effect}}: The name of the sound effect played when the explosion triggers.
**{{cd|negates_fall_damage}}: Defines whether the explosion should apply fall damage negation to players above the point of collision.
**{{cd|allow_underwater}}: If true, the explosion will affect blocks and entities underwater.

'''Graphical'''
*Starting with base game version 1.21.40, built-in {{cd|biomes_client.json}} files will no longer be loaded. That file from other packs will continue to be loaded. Water and fog settings are now in individual {{cd|client_biome.json }} files in resource packs. When both {{cd|biomes_client.json}} and the individual {{cd|client_biome.json}} file specify competing values, the loaded {{cd|biomes_client.json}} from creator content will have priority.

== Experimental ==
These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", "Bundles", "New Third Person Presets", and "Upcoming Creator Features" experimental toggles.
=== Additions ===
==== Technical ====
'''[[Minecraft:Add-on]]s and Script Engine'''
*Add support for custom items with the {{cd|minecraft:block_placer}} item component to use the referenced "block" as the icon for the item:
**If the {{cd|minecraft:icon}} component is specified, it will override the "block" icon.
**Requires the "Upcoming Creator Features" toggle. Must use item json version {{cd|1.21.40}} or higher.

'''API'''
*Added enum {{cd|PlatformType}} export enum {{cd|<nowiki>PlatformType { Console = 'Console', Desktop = 'Desktop', Mobile = 'Mobile', } Class ScriptClientSystemInfo</nowiki>}}:
**Added field {{cd|platformType}}.
**Added field {{cd|maxRenderDistance}}.

'''Camera'''
*Added camera relative movement to the "New Third Person Presets" experimental toggle:
**Camera relative movement is enabled on any camera that inherits from {{cd|minecraft:follow_orbit}} and sets {{cd|align_camera_and_target_forward}} to {{cd|false}}.

=== Changes ===
==== Items ====
'''[[Minecraft:Bundle]]s'''
* {{Animate|White Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Light Gray Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Light Gray Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Black Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Brown Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Red Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Orange Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Yellow Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Lime Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Green Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Cyan Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Light Blue Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Blue Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Purple Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Magenta Bundle JE1 BE1.png; Pink Bundle JE1 BE1.png|32px}} They can now be dyed 16 different colors using dyes.

==== Technical ====
'''API'''
*Moved {{cd|PlayerInteractWithBlockBeforeEvent}} and {{cd|PlayerInteractWithBlockAfterEvent}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|1.15.0}}.
*Moved {{cd|PlayerInteractWithEntityBeforeEvent}} and {{cd|PlayerInteractWithEntityAfterEvent}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|1.15.0}}.

'''Graphical'''
*Updated some JSON schemas for Deferred Technical Preview resource packs. Creators must update their packs to the new format. Documentation on the Creator Learning Portal will be updated accordingly:
**Split up the contents of {{cd|lighting/global.json}} into 3 files: {{cd|lighting/global.json}}, {{cd|point_lights/global.json}} and {{cd|pbr/global.json}}. They contain directional lights + emissive desaturation, point light colors and MERS fallbacks respectively.
**The schema for {{cd|lighting/global.json}} is now wrapped in a new {{cd|minecraft:lighting_settings}} object and also requires a {{cd|description}} object with an {{cd|identifier}} string to act as a unique name for your settings. The {{cd|format_version}} field has also been modified to require a string as opposed to an array of integers, and must use a version of {{cd|1.21.40}}.
**The filepath for atmospheric scattering files has been relocated to {{cd|atmospherics/atmospherics.json}}.
**The schema for {{cd|atmospherics/atmospherics.json}} is now wrapped in a new {{cd|minecraft:atmosphere_settings}} object and also requires a {{cd|description}} object with an {{cd|identifier}} string to act as a unique name for player's settings. It also requires a {{cd|format_version}} string, which must be a version of {{cd|1.21.40}}.
**The schema for {{cd|color_grading/color_grading.json}} now requires a {{cd|format_version}} string, which must be a version of {{cd|1.21.40}}.
**The schema for {{cd|water/water.json}} now requires a {{cd|format_version}} string, which must be a version of {{cd|1.21.40}}.
