The changelog for this beta includes:

  • Pressure plates have been fixed to have no collision again
  • Local split-screen players can once again see the Ender Dragon and Ender Crystal
  • Fixed a crash that occurred on PlayStation 4 due to other players using custom skins
  • The Angry system now checks if the mob with the angry component can attack before broadcasting anger to others, rather than after broadcasting anger to others. This avoids a never-ending loop when multiple mobs triggered each other’s anger indefinitely on peaceful
  • The ‘rider_can_interact’ field on ‘minecraft:rideable’ is now used again
  • Behavior animation components will no longer try to reload after a suspend resume and a mob/player rides something
  • Drowned geometry is no longer broken in content packs
  • Zombies can spawn underground again
  • Making command selectors use the current position of an actor rather than the previous position of an actor
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent the Marketplace loading correctly
  • Meeting requirements for some achievements offline will now unlock it after reconnecting
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Command Blocks to stop working unexpectedly
  • The bounding box of the player used for spawning is now the correct size, so we don’t think a player is in a dangerous spot when they are actually safe
  • Parity: Fixed the issue with chests with loot tables not generating loot until opened or destroyed
  • Made using the ‘/fill’ command more efficient, improving performance
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when pressing the Manage Account button in Profile settings
  • Fixed notifications not appearing on iOS
