Additions

Template:Main Template:Additions table This version also adds features from Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.5.0 and 1.6.0.

Agent Improvements (based on community feedback)

• Template:Cmd
  • Remove Minecraft:agents from the world
• Players will be able to show the agent coordinates on the HUD
• Template:Cmd now creates or teleports the executor’s agent to the executor.
• New command selectors
  • @c to target the executor’s agent, @v to target all agents
  • Only players with the permission worldbuilders can target all agents. By default all users will have wordbuilder permissions set to false.
• The usual type filters can also be used to target particular agents, so Template:Cmd for instance would look through all entities for those of type agent whose name is Steve.Agent and teleport them to the executor. For more of a shorthand you could do Template:Cmd to target a particular person's agent that's not your own
• Added spawn eggs for agents

Library Beta

• Allows players to view and download worlds in-game without having to go to website. Players will see a new button on their home screen called "Library" which leads to a list of dynamically generated "must have" worlds

Heads-up-display

• Added mouse and keyboard control tips to the in-game HUD, to help players learn the how to move, break/place blocks, etc.
• On by default for teachers and off by default for students, and can be configured in the settings menu.

"How to Play" menu

• Added Education content to the "How to Play" menu.

Educator Resources

• A button on the home screen (which will show for teachers only) that takes users to a new resource on website designed to connect them with the latest and greatest training, lessons and community content

Changes

Coding

• Minecraft:Code Builder can now be used in the game rather than via a separate app. Players will be able to launch code builder using Template:Key if you are using a mouse/keyboard or by pressing the agent icon next to pause/chat on the top center of the screen while on touch.
• Code.org and Scratch will not be present at launch in-game. The Code Connection app can still be used to use these applications.
• Removed Template:Cmd.
