PocketMine-MP/changelogs/5.3.md

5.3.0

Released 12th July 2023.

For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.20.10

This is a support release for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.20.10.

Plugin compatibility: Plugins for previous 5.x versions will run unchanged on this release, unless they use internal APIs, reflection, or packages like the pocketmine\network\mcpe or pocketmine\data namespace. Do not update plugin minimum API versions unless you need new features added in this release.

WARNING: If your plugin uses the pocketmine\network\mcpe namespace, you're not shielded by API change constraints. Consider using the mcpe-protocol directive in plugin.yml as a constraint if you're using packets directly.

Internals

5.3.3

Released 24th July 2023.

Included releases

This release includes changes from the following releases:

• 4.23.3 - Various bug fixes

Fixes

• Added a workaround for PM4 worlds with chunks corrupted by Refaltor77/CustomItemAPI.
  • While this was not the fault of PocketMine-MP itself, a significant number of users were affected by this problem.
  • This error was not detected by PM4 due to missing validation of certain data which should not have existed in 1.12.
  • An error will now be logged when this corruption is detected, but the affected chunks should otherwise load normally.
• Relaxed validation of expected 3D biome array counts per chunk in LevelDB worlds.
  • Vanilla Bedrock currently saves 24 palettes (and only 24 are required), but it saved 25, 32, or 64 biome palettes per chunk in older versions.
  • Core validation for these padding biomes was very strict, enforcing exact compliance with vanilla.
  • Since only 24 palettes are actually required, the remaining palettes may now be omitted irrespective of the chunk version.
  • An error will still be logged when this mistake is detected, but the affected chunks will otherwise load normally.
• Fixed /kill not working on players who had (re)spawned in the 3 seconds immediately after (re)spawning (due to noDamageTicks).
• Fixed /kill not working correctly for players with high levels of Health Boost or other health-altering effects.
• Fixed netherite items being destroyed by lava.
• Fireproof entities no longer display the burning animation when in fire or lava. This does not apply to creative players, who are immortal rather than being fireproof.
• Fixed frosted ice melting in certain conditions which didn't match vanilla Bedrock.

5.3.4

Released 1st August 2023.

Included releases

This release includes changes from the following releases:

• 4.23.4 - Item entity lag fix

This release contains no other significant changes.
