It looks like the Minecraft Bedrock beta 1.9.0.3 version just came out and it seems to explore a new Scripting API, as well as some small fixes and changes. This version is available only on Windows 10, Xbox One and Android. So let’s take a look to see what is new in the latest release from Minecraft.
The newest update brings a new Scripting API
Thanks to the new experimental Scripting API brought by Minecraft Bedrock beta 1.9.0.3, users will be able to make adjustments to the inner components in a game simply by writing commands. The Script Engine from Minecraft is using JavaScript, which allows the writing of Scripts, as well as their bundling along with Behavior Packs in order to put into effect various actions. Some of these actions are listening and answering to game events, or recovering and altering data in the components from entities, which can affect various parts of the game. At the moment, this feature is available only in Windows 10, once the “Use Experimental GamePlay” setting is enabled.
