Experimental Features
Recipe Unlocking
We tested having a notification that informed you about new ways of creating recipes you’ve already unlocked. It didn’t feel helpful. Do you know how many ways there are to make sticks?! Yeah, a lot. We are removing this version of the unlocking notification
Spectator mode is for spectating. Not unlocking recipes! With this fix recipes won’t unlock when you’re in spectator mode
Unlocking a new recipe no longer sets the inventory toggle option to be "All". The craftable toggle will now reliably stay the way you left it
Sneak and Crawl
Fixed an issue that caused players to automatically sneak while on ladders
Fixed a bug that caused the player to get stuck at the top of a ladder when sneaking
Crawling head rotation no longer follows camera rotation directly
Fixed an issue where Swift Sneak did not increase Crawling speed
Fixed an issue where legacy Crawling was not working correctly with the Sneak and Crawl toggle turned off
Fixed an issue where mobs did not have the correct collision box when spawning
Short Sneaking has now been ‘de-experimentified’ and is available during normal gameplay
Crawling animation is no longer triggered while gliding below blocks
Players can now be forced into sneak/crawl state while flying
Features and Bug Fixes
General
Fixed player capes not properly flapping when moving forward but looking sideways (fixed for real this time!)
Reduce cases where players might see 'Unable to connect' errors due to 'Expired Auth from Discovery'
Fixed issues with unresponsive or laggy input when using Mouse together with a Controller
Mouse Input
Improved handling of simultaneous mouse clicks, triggering each individual associated action/response
Accessibility

Default chat duration now set to 10 seconds while default toast notification duration remains at 3 seconds
Text-to-speech Narrator now reads item names when selecting items in the hotbar

Technical Updates
Dedicated Server
Fixed invalid entries in allowlist.json causing crash
Add-Ons and Script Engine
Actually fixed the bug that caused player capes to stop flapping when moving forward but looking sideways in the query.cape_flap_amount by switching the rotation used from the player's looking rotation to the player's body rotation
Observer blocks use state "minecraft:facing_direction" instead of "facing_direction". "minecraft:facing_direction" uses string values ("down", "up", "north", "south", "east", "west")
Entities
Custom entities are no longer restricted to overriding Vanilla entities released before 1.20. All Vanilla entities can be used in the "identifier" or "runtime_identifier" field, including Camel and Sniffer.

Added helper function isValid to several classes in order to check if the object is valid. This can safely be used on any handle to a native object before accessing or using the object, to ensure the underlying object still exists and is valid to use.
Block (checks the block is a valid position in bounds and the containing chunk is loaded & ticking)
Container (checks the relevent container inventory exists and is valid)
Effect (checks the owning entity is valid and the effect exists on that entity)
ScreenDisplay (checks the owning player is valid)
ScoreboardObjective (checks the objective entry exists and is attached to a valid scoreboard)
Entity (checks that the entity exists in the world. Will return true if the entity is dead)
Player
SimulatedPlayer (Note simulated players do not automatically get removed from the world, so isValid will return true long after they are dead)
ContainerSlot (checks the item context is valid: Container exists in the world, such as the owning entity, and the slot is within the container bounds)
Already existed as a readonly property, changed to a method for consistency
Component
EntityAttributeComponent (checks the owning entity is valid and the attribute exists on the entity)
BlockLiquidContainerComponent (checks block exists and is a valid cauldron type)
Added read only method isValidLiquid which checks if the liquid in the cauldron matches the component in question (EG. BlockLavaContainerComponent checks for lava liquid)
EntityComponent (checks the owning entity exists)
ItemComponent (checks the owning item exists)
World
Renamed getTime to getTimeOfDay.
Renamed setTime to setTimeOfDay.
setTimeOfDay now accepts a TimeOfDay enum as an argument.

Camera command can now take a 'facing' option instead of a 'rot' option with a target entity or position specified
Fixed custom cameras to not use the 'inside block' effect when player head is inside a block
