+**For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.14.60**
+
+This is a feature release, containing various minor API additions, deprecations and a few minor features.
+
+### Note about API versions
+Plugins which don't touch the protocol and compatible with any previous 3.x.y version will also run on these releases and do not need API bumps.
+Plugin developers should **only** update their required API to this version if you need the changes in this build.
+
+**WARNING: If your plugin uses the protocol, you're not shielded by API change constraints.** You should consider using the `mcpe-protocol` directive in `plugin.yml` as a constraint if you do.
+
+# 3.13.0
+## Core
+- PHP 7.3.0 or newer is now required.
+- Player movement processing has been revamped. It's now more tolerant of network lag and doesn't have as many problems with falling.
+
+## User Interface
+- `/time` now supports additional aliases `noon`, `sunset`, `midnight` and `sunrise`.
+- Removed warnings when a plugin registers a handler for a deprecated event. Since this warning is developer-focused, and too specific to be useful, it just caused annoyance and confusion to users who didn't know what it meant.
+
+## API
+### General
+- It's now possible to require a specific operating system using the `os` directive in `plugin.yml`. More information about this directive can be found in the [developer documentation](https://github.com/pmmp/DeveloperDocs).
+
+### Player
+- `Player->resetItemCooldown()` now accepts a second parameter, allowing plugins to provide a custom duration.
+- The following methods have been deprecated and have recommended replacements:
+  - `Player->addTitle()` -> `Player->sendTitle()`
+  - `Player->addSubTitle()` -> `Player->sendSubTitle()`
+  - `Player->addActionBarMessage()` -> `Player->sendActionBarMessage()`
+
+### Event
+- The following methods have been deprecated:
+  - `EntityDespawnEvent->getType()`
+  - `EntityDespawnEvent->getPosition()`
+  - `EntityDespawnEvent->isCreature()`
+  - `EntityDespawnEvent->isHuman()`
+  - `EntityDespawnEvent->isProjectile()`
+  - `EntityDespawnEvent->isVehicle()`
+  - `EntityDespawnEvent->isItem()`
+  - `EntitySpawnEvent->getType()`
+  - `EntitySpawnEvent->getPosition()`
+  - `EntitySpawnEvent->isCreature()`
+  - `EntitySpawnEvent->isHuman()`
+  - `EntitySpawnEvent->isProjectile()`
+  - `EntitySpawnEvent->isVehicle()`
+  - `EntitySpawnEvent->isItem()`
+- Added the following API methods:
+  - `EntityDeathEvent->getXpDropAmount()`
+  - `EntityDeathEvent->setXpDropAmount()`
+- `PlayerDeathEvent::__construct()` now accepts a fourth (optional) parameter `int $xp`.
+- `EntityDeathEvent::__construct()` now accepts a third (optional) parameter `int $xp`.
+
+### Inventory
+- The following classes have been deprecated:
+  - `Recipe`
+- The following methods have been deprecated:
+  - `CraftingManager->registerRecipe()`
+  - `Recipe->registerToCraftingManager()` (and all its implementations)
+
+### Item
+- New `Enchantment` type ID constants have been added.
+- `ItemFactory::fromStringSingle()` has been added. This works exactly the same as `ItemFactory::fromString()`, but it has a return type of `Item` instead of `Item|Item[]` (more static analysis friendly).
+
+### Level
+- Added the following API methods:
+  - `Position->getLevelNonNull()`: this is the same as `Position->getLevel()`, but throws an `AssumptionFailedError` if the level is null or invalid (more static analysis friendly).
+  - `Level->getTimeOfDay()`
+- The following constants have been changed:
+  - `Level::TIME_DAY` now has a value of `1000`
+  - `Level::TIME_NIGHT` now has a value of `13000`
+- Added the following constants:
+  - `Level::TIME_MIDNIGHT`
+  - `Level::TIME_NOON`
+- The following types of particles now accept optional `Color` parameters in the constructor:
+  - `EnchantParticle`
+  - `InstantEnchantParticle`
+
+### Network
+- Added the following API methods:
+  - `RakLibInterface->setPacketLimit()`
+
+### Scheduler
+AsyncTask thread-local storage has been improved, making it simpler and easier to use.
+- `AsyncTask->fetchLocal()` no longer deletes stored thread-local data. Instead, the storage behaves more like properties, and gets deleted when the AsyncTask object goes out of scope.
+- `AsyncTask->peekLocal()` has been `@deprecated` (use `fetchLocal()` instead).
+- Notices are no longer emitted if an async task doesn't fetch its locally stored data.
+- The following methods have been deprecated:
+  - `AsyncTask->getFromThreadStore()` (use its worker's corresponding method)
+  - `AsyncTask->saveToThreadStore()` (use its worker's corresponding method)
+  - `AsyncTask->removeFromThreadStore()` (use its worker's corresponding method)
+
+### Utils
+- The following functions have been deprecated and have recommended replacements:
+  - `Utils::getMemoryUsage()` -> split into `Process::getMemoryUsage()` and `Process::getAdvancedMemoryUsage()` (not 1:1 replacement!!)
+  - `Utils::getRealMemoryUsage()` -> `Process::getRealMemoryUsage()`
+  - `Utils::getThreadCount()` -> `Process::getThreadCount()`
+  - `Utils::kill()` -> `Process::kill()`
+  - `Utils::execute()` -> `Process::execute()`
+- Added the following constants:
+  - `Utils::OS_WINDOWS`
+  - `Utils::OS_IOS`
+  - `Utils::OS_MACOS`
+  - `Utils::OS_ANDROID`
+  - `Utils::OS_LINUX`
+  - `Utils::OS_BSD`
+  - `Utils::OS_UNKNOWN`
+- Added the following API methods:
+  - `Config->getPath()`
+  - `Utils::recursiveUnlink()`
+  - `Terminal::write()`
+  - `Terminal::writeLine()`
