    • If you are not in the dimension where you last died, or you haven't died yet in your world, it will randomly spin
    • It can be crafted with 1 Compass surrounded by 8 Echo Shards
    • *Echo Shards will be available as loot in Ancient Cities in a future update

Warden

  • Warden now has a hurt animation when taking damage (MCPE-153575)
  • Fixed a bug where the Warden's ribcage UVs were overlapping their right tendril UVs (MCPE-153797)
  • Warden will now prioritize players over mobs when angry
  • Improved Warden suspect tracking gameplay behavior, and increased the Warden’s ‘sniff’ range

Frog

Goat Horn (Experimental)

  • Goat Horn sound is now instant
  • Added Goat Horn variations to the Pillager outposts
  • Removed Copper Horn. Although community feedback was mostly positive, the Copper Horn was a fun experiment that didn't quite live up to our design goals, so we decided to remove it. We understand people might be sad, but to be able to try out new and interesting things we need to be able to remove experimental features sometimes. This leaves space for even better features in the future!

Touch Controls

  • Player can now change hotbar item slot while in a Boat (MCPE-153762)
