Performance and Stability

• Fixed several crashes that could occur during gameplay

Gameplay

General

• Fixed an issue where animations in the achievement screen could be played backwards

Technical Changes

• Removed legacy fall damage packet from client
• Made some small changes around how we calculate the spawn position of dropped items from a player that dies from falling
• Added support for the music command, allowing creators to play and control custom music
• Changed LegacyCubemap from opaque to transparent (MCPE-94275)
• Fog Definition identifier cannot use the "minecraft" namespace unless it's from a vanilla resource pack
• Blocks that have ticking components will now clear their pending ticks from the ticking queue upon removal
  • Added the on_player_destroyed trigger component

DataDrivenBlocks

• Made data driven blocks with disabled collision pathable 

Documentation

• Added documentation for block event responses and re-organized block documentation
