=== Technical ===
'''[[Minecraft:API]]'''
* Released the stable {{cd|BlockVibrationPropertiesComponent}} Script API for reading a block's vibration behavior through {{cd|getCanDampenVibrations()}} and {{cd|getCanOccludeVibrations()}} in {{cd|V2_12_0}}.
* Released {{cd|class BlockComponentNeighborChangedAfterEvent}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|v2.12.0}}.
* Released {{cd|interface NeighborChange}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|v2.12.0}}.
* Released {{cd|BlockComponentNamedTickEvent}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|v2.12.0}} in {{cd|@minecraft/server}}.
* Released {{cd|ScriptBlock.scheduleNamedTick}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|v2.12.0}} in {{cd|@minecraft/server}}.
* Released {{cd|ScriptBlock.hasScheduledNamedTick}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|v2.12.0}} in {{cd|@minecraft/server}}.
* Released {{cd|ScriptBlock.removeScheduledNamedTicks}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|v2.12.0}} in {{cd|@minecraft/server}}.
* Released {{cd|ScriptBlock.getScheduledNamedTickCount}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|v2.12.0}} in {{cd|@minecraft/server}}.
* Released {{cd|ScriptBlock.getAllScheduledNamedTicks}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|v2.12.0}} in {{cd|@minecraft/server}}.
* {{cd|BlockInventoryComponent}}:
** Custom blocks whose {{cd|minecraft:block_entity}} component declares a container now provide {{cd|BlockInventoryComponent}} without requiring any experiments.

'''[[Minecraft:Block components]]'''
* {{cd|minecraft:block_entity}}:
** Released the {{cd|container}} field from experimental, so custom blocks using {{cd|format_version}} 1.26.20 or later no longer need the Upcoming Creator Features experiment to declare a container with {{cd|slot_count}} (1 to 54) and the optional {{cd|title}} and {{cd|show_ui_on_interaction}} fields.

'''Blocks'''
* Released the {{cd|minecraft:vibration_properties}} block component for custom blocks in format version {{cd|1_26_60}}, with {{cd|dampen_vibrations}} and {{cd|occlude_vibrations}} properties that control whether blocks dampen or occlude vibrations.
* Released the {{cd|minecraft:neighbor_change}} block component from the Upcoming Creator Features experiment. It requires format version 1.26.60 or later.
** {{cd|neighbor_directions}} configures which neighboring directions trigger the {{cd|onNeighborChanged}} block custom component event.
* Released the {{cd|minecraft:enchantment_power_transmitter}} block component from the Upcoming Creator Features experiment. It requires format version 1.26.60 or later.

'''[[Minecraft:Bedrock Dedicated Server|Dedicated server]]'''
* Updated {{cd|PackOptimizer}} config format to take the output mode: {{cd|brpak}} (default), {{cd|brarchive}} or {{cd|unpacked}}.
* When using PackOptimizer, each input pack is transformed according to the specified output mode, regardless of its original format.
* Improved error handling and feedback when using PackOptimizer.

'''Entities'''
* Added the Beta-only field to an entity's description field {{cd|clear_behaviors_on_component_changes}} to opt into clearing a mob's existing AI components when any component changes occur; it defaults to {{cd|false}} for Beta documents.

'''Entity components'''
* Added a new {{cd|minecraft:entity_rotation_always_follows_head}} entity component, available to entity definitions using the {{cd|beta}} format version, which keeps the entity's rotation aligned with its head after look behaviors run.
** It overrides the yaw set by movement components, so it is intended for entities that turn in place.
* Added a new {{cd|minecraft:spherical_look_control}} entity component, which turns the entity's head toward targets set by look behaviors along the shortest arc in 3D, combining upward or downward rotation (pitch) with side-to-side rotation (yaw) in a single turn.
** Look requests turn at the average of the pitch and yaw speeds supplied by the look behavior, optionally scaled by distance.
** With no look request, the head keeps its current direction unless its pitch is outside {{cd|pitch_limits}}, in which case it returns toward the nearest limit at {{cd|pitch_recovery_speed}}.
** {{cd|pitch_recovery_speed}}: The speed in degrees per second used to return the head's pitch within {{cd|pitch_limits}} when no look request is present, from {{cd|0}} to {{cd|3600}}, defaulting to {{cd|60}}.
*** {{cd|0}} disables the pitch recovery when no look request is present.
*** Does not limit turning toward requested targets.
** {{cd|reference_distance}}: An optional positive distance in blocks at or below which the look behavior's average pitch and yaw speed applies unchanged.
*** Beyond this distance, turn speed is multiplied by reference_distance divided by the target distance, so doubling the distance halves the speed.
*** Distance is measured from the entity's breathing point to the requested look position.
*** Applies only to position targets, with distance scaling disabled when omitted.
** {{cd|pitch_limits}}: The {{cd|min}} and {{cd|max}} pitch in degrees, from {{cd|-90}} (straight up) to {{cd|90}} (straight down) and defaulting to {{cd|-90}} and {{cd|90}}.
*** Set both to the same value for a fixed pitch.
** Only available to entity definitions using the {{cd|beta}} format version.
* {{cd|minecraft:projectile}}:
** Added {{cd|death_message_override}} to {{cd|on_hit.impact_damage}} for entity format versions 1.26.70 and later, setting the localization key of the death message shown when the impact damage kills an entity.
*** In the death message, {{cd|%1$s}} is the name of the killed entity and {{cd|%2$s}} is the name of the projectile's owner, or of the projectile itself if it has no owner.

'''UI'''
* Data-Driven Containers:
** Creators are expected not to modify the UI for data-driven containers ({{cd|ui/data_driven_container_screen.json}} and the {{cd|data_driven_container}} namespace), as it may receive breaking changes in future updates and comes with no backwards compatibility guarantees.

== Experimental ==
These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs" and "Upcoming Creator Features" [[Minecraft:experimental]] toggles.

=== Changes ===
==== Technical ====
'''Actor'''
* Passenger of block will now take into account the rotation limit they were given.
* Passenger of block will stop being passenger when their supporting block is removed or replaced with a different block type.
* {{cd|PlayerDimensionChangeAfterEvent}}:
** Added the beta read-only {{cd|source}} property, which reports what caused the player to change dimensions using the new {{cd|PlayerDimensionChangeSource}} enum.
* {{cd|PlayerDimensionChangeSource}}:
* Added the beta {{cd|PlayerDimensionChangeSource}} enum with the values {{cd|Portal}}, {{cd|TeleportCommand}}, {{cd|PlayerRespawn}}, and {{cd|Unknown}}.

'''[[Minecraft:API]]'''
* Added {{cd|includeNamespace}} and {{cd|excludeNamespace}} to {{cd|BiomeFilter}}.
** If a namespace is added to {{cd|includeNamespace}} or {{cd|excludeNamespace}}, a biome using that namespace can be found.
* Added {{cd|includeNamespace}} and {{cd|excludeNamespace}} to {{cd|BlockFilter}}.
** If a namespace is added to {{cd|includeNamespace}} or {{cd|excludeNamespace}}, a block using that namespace can be found.
* Added {{cd|namespaces}} and {{cd|excludeNamespaces}} to {{cd|EntityFilter}}.
** If a namespace is added to {{cd|namespaces}} or {{cd|excludeNamespaces}}, an entity using that namespace can be found.
* Added {{cd|world.afterEvents.portalActivate}}, {{cd|PortalActivateAfterEvent}}, and {{cd|PortalActivateAfterEventSignal}} to {{cd|@minecraft/server}} in {{cd|beta}} to notify scripts after a Nether portal is activated, providing its dimension, ignition location, and initiating player when known.
* Added property {{cd|ItemCustomComponent.onReleaseUse}} to {{cd|beta}}.
* Added two new methods to {{cd|BlockEntityStorageComponent}} and {{cd|ItemBlockEntityStorageComponent}}, still behind {{cd|beta}}:
** {{cd|remove}} removes a stored entity from the current content pack's storage without releasing it into the world. No entity, experience, or item drops are spawned.
** {{cd|totalSize}} returns the total number of entities stored in this block's entity storage across all content packs.

'''Blocks'''
* {{cd|minecraft:collision_box}} has been updated to support voxel shape identifiers as a collision shape from 1.26.70 and onwards:
** Requires the "Voxel Shapes" experiment. Using the component as a 'bool' or a box array remains non-experimental.
** Identifiers can be a custom voxel shape, {{cd|minecraft:unit_cube}}, or minecraft:empty.
** Voxel shapes that exceed the collision bounds of {{cd|[0,0,0]}} to {{cd|[16,24,16]}} will be clamped and registered with a warning.
