PocketMine-MP/changelogs/5.29.md

5.29.0

Released 18th June 2025.

This is a support release for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.21.90.

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.

General

• Added support for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.21.90.
• Removed support for earlier versions.

Fixes

• Fixed thread crashes sometimes not reporting proper cause information in crashdumps.
• Fixed crash when a plugin replaced a player's held tool with a different tool with a damage exceeding the old tool's max damage during an action.
• Fixed performance issue of PlayerAuthInputPacket input flags handling (broken change detection).
• Fixed BaseInventory->addItem() triggering updates on empty slots when no items were added.
• Fixed slow check in SubChunk block layer garbage collection.

Internals

• LoginPacketHandler->processLogin() signature has changed. This will break any plugins overriding LoginPacketHandler. As noted above, this is not covered by the API version guarantee.
• Automated branch sync for minor-next and major-next is now triggered by repository_dispatch from a cron job in this repository instead of RestrictedActions. The RestrictedActions cron job was getting automatically disabled by GitHub due to repo inactivity.
