Minecraft PE 1.18.30.22

The developers have released a new test version of Minecraft 1.18.30.22. Changes and bug fixes have been made, and Allay has been added!

Allay

Allay can collect the same items from the world as it holds in its hand
If an Allay holds an item it got from a player, it will follow that player
The Allay is able to drop items at nearby Note Blocks
When playing a Note Block near an Allay, that Note Block becomes the Allays favourite Note Block for 30 seconds, and the Allay will attempt to drop off
items at the Note Block rather than at the player
If an Allay has items in its inventory, it will attempt to give them to its owner
The Allay sometimes spawns in cages next to Pillager Outposts (similar to Iron Golem), and inside Woodland Mansions

Sculk

Changed Sculk Catalyst block to match recent redesign which is described below:
- A mysteriously soul-emitting block that blooms when mobs die within an 8-block radius
- Mobs that perish in the presence of the catalyst will not drop their experience
- Instead, a bubbling charge will be created at the place the mob perished
- This charge from mobs will spread through Sculk Veins and Sculk blocks in random directions until they find a valid substrate that they can convert into Sculk
Made some changes to Sculk Sensors to be at parity with Java Edition

Darkness Effect

A new mob effect unique to the Warden and Sculk Shrieker, which will afflict players with the effect when nearby
Lowers the gamma down at an equivalent of “Moody” while having this effect
In periodic pulses, will lower the overall brightness of the world so that the darkness creeps up against light sources
When the Warden is around, torches will be more important than ever!

Updated Touch Controls

Enables preview of new touch control schemes for players on mobile devices
These can be enabled by navigating to Settings > Touch > Enable New Touch Control Schemes

Gameplay

Changed the spawning logic for Iron Golems and Cats to make it easier for them to spawn in roofed areas, like underground villages
Scaffolding can no longer be placed without support on y=0
Fire that exists before the Fire Tick game rule is enabled will continue to spread again

Vanilla Parity

Shulkers now have a chance to spawn another Shulker when hit by a Shulker projectile
When a mob picks up an item, the item can be seen slightly "pulled" towards the mob right as it picks it up. This matches the behavior of Java Edition
Blaze Fireball will deal knockback on impact
Acacia Trees now grow Leaves on every branch below Y = 0
Mobs can no longer spawn on Campfires

Blocks

Glow Lichen does not generate hanging in the air inside Strongholds anymore
Glow Lichen now correctly checks for the face of the block they are attached to be full
Glow Lichen can now be attached to Leaves
Blocks such as Glow Lichen, Torches, and Redstone can no longer be placed on or attached to Brewing Stands
Blocks such as Glow Lichen, Torches, and Redstone can now be placed on or attached to Trapdoors, depending on their state
Azaleas and Lily Pads are now broken by flowing water

Commands

Graphical

Fixed lighting bug where light level 1 incorrectly dropped to 0 when placing blocks in light level 1 with multiple light sources
Sculk Sensors and Magma Blocks are now visible in the darkness

Items

Observers placed facing Double Chests no longer send out a Redstone pulse when reloading/re-entering a chunk

User Interface

Villagers

Technical Updates

The trade screen will no longer open if the owner of the "minecraft:economy_trade_table" component is on fire
Changed block (Cactus, ChorusFlower, Crop, Grass, PointedDripstone, Sapling) tick rates to match Java Edition
Random tick positions will no longer be chosen below the world
Clarified documentation for query.is_item_name_any that the slot index is required when there is more than one slot, i.e. the hotbar
