On February 26, 2025, Mojang released Minecraft 1.21.70.25 beta and preview. While this new version did not bring any major new features, it includes many changes, improvements, and bug fixes.The first change in Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.70.25 is related to add-ons. These are the Bedrock Edition equivalent of mods from the Java Edition. However, using them used to disable achievements, discouraging many players from using add-ons in their regular worlds. Starting with version 1.21.70.25, add-ons will no longer disable achievements in the Bedrock Edition.Mojang has also reverted some of the sheep spawning changes introduced in recent betas and previews. There are also changes related to cows, wildflowers, and wandering trader trades, among other things.

This represents the particles used when the Block is destroyedThere is two fields for it:"texture" is a required string field to set the texture used by the particles"tint_method" is an optional string field that multiplies the texture color with a predefined tint. Default to "none". Supported values are "none", "default_foliage", "birch_foliage", "evergreen_foliage", "dry_foliage", "grass" and "water".Block format before 1.21.70 will be upgraded to have the component added using the texture from the "down" or "*" of the minecraft:material_instances component if present and "none" for tint_method. This was the old behavior.Block format from 1.21.70 without the component will not be upgraded and uses the invalid textureExamples:"minecraft:destruction_particles": {"texture": "my_particles_texture","tint_method": "grass"}or"minecraft:destruction_particles": {"texture": "my_particles_texture"}BugFixed issue that occurs when cancelling world resource pack downloadFixed crash that occurs when initializing minecraft:decorated_pot rendererCommandsRemoved set_movement_authority command.Dedicated ServerExposed a new parameter for dedicated server.
