Preview 1.20.50.21
Beta 1.20.50.21 (Android) or Preview 1.20.50.21 (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox) is the second beta/Preview version for Bedrock Edition 1.20.50, released on October 18, 2023,[2] which adds the crafter behind an experimental toggle and fixes bugs.
Additions
General
- Added the "Update 1.21" experimental toggle.
- Contains new features for Minecraft 1.21.
- Added new
white_smoke_particleparticle type.
Changes
Blocks
- Inverted the direction in which decorated pots wobble when unsuccessfully interacted with.
Experimental
These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Update 1.21" and "Beta APIs" experimental toggles.
Additions
Blocks
- A variant of crafting table, can be crafted with five iron ingots, a crafting table, two redstone dusts, and a dropper in the crafting table.
- Crafters can be oriented in any direction when placed.
- A pickaxe can increase the speed of mining them.
- Have a user interface similar to crafting table.
- Have 3×3 interactable crafting grid.
- Their crafting grid slots are toggleable, meaning that the player can change the behavior of a slot by clicking or pressing on a slot with an empty hand.
- A toggled slot cannot hold any items and therefore cannot have items placed into it by other blocks such as hoppers and droppers.
- A toggled slot can be toggled off by player, whether clicked directly or holding item(s), pressing slot keys associated with an empty or a not empty hotbar slot.
- Unlike the crafting table, the slots display a preview of the crafted item which will be crafted and ejected on the next redstone pulse, but cannot be manually taken out by the player.
- The user interface is shared between all players interacting with them, meaning that multiple players can interact with them at the same time, similar to chests and hoppers.
- The user interface does not have a recipe book to provide help, so the player must know the recipes.
- The crafter ejects one crafted item at a time when powered by a new redstone pulse, a redstone signal that is not a continuous signal.
- Upon receiving this new signal, crafters eject the recipe result from the front face.
- All the result items will be ejected together when the output result has multiple type of items.
- They can interact with hoppers and droppers, to input/output automatically.
- Hoppers can be used to both insert and pull items out of them.
- Droppers can be used to insert items into them.
- Moving items in from another block with a hopper or a dropper prioritizes filling items into slots, by following these rules:
- If there is a toggled slot, skipped.
- If there is not a toggled slot, crafters prioritize the first empty slot from left-to-right and top-to-bottom.
- If there is not a toggled slot, and there are no empty slots, crafters prioritize the smallest stack of the same item. If there are multiple possible stacks, pick the first from left-to-right and top-to-bottom.
- If failed to select a slot, hoppers and droppers will not take any action.
- When read by a redstone comparator, the redstone signal strength is 0 to 9, where each non-empty or toggled slot adds 1 strength.

Additions
Gameplay
- Added
projectilesCanBreakBlocks, to control whether impact projectiles will destroy blocks that are destructible by them (i.e. chorus flowers, pointed dripstone and decorated pots). Defaults totrue.

- In horizontal directions, mobs' attack reach are now their bounding box extended in horizontal directions, instead of using horizontal width to determine.
- For example, a ravager won't be able to attack through a few block thick walls.
- In vertical directions, mobs' attack reach are now the exact vertical range of their bounding box. When there's no overlap between their bounding box and their target's bounding box in vertical direction, they can not attack, in specific:
- Riding a medium-sized mob (e.g. horse) can get rid of attacks from short mobs (e.g. baby zombie).
- Riding a tall mob (e.g. camel) can get rid of attacks from standard size mobs (e.g. zombie).
- Some mob's reaching height now extended (e.g. enderman, safety height changed from 1.5 to 3).
- In horizontal directions, mobs' attack reach are now their bounding box extended in horizontal directions, instead of using horizontal width to determine.
