Released on October 25, 2022, version for Minecraft Bedrock (including Windows 10) may not have added a new dimension, but it brought critical "Vanilla Parity" and foundational technical changes that fundamentally improved the "The Wild Update" experience. 1. Achieving "Vanilla Parity"
This update addressed several frustrating glitches that plagued earlier 1.19 builds:
Mojang's long-term goal is making the Bedrock and Java editions feel identical. Version 1.19.40 made major strides here:
: The hunger cost for swimming was decreased to match Java Edition. Mob Dynamics :
are now faster, have a larger collision box, and can be damaged by Evoker Fangs.
: When you are defeated by a renamed weapon or a mob holding a custom-named item, the death message now displays that custom name .
: A new "Clear Cache" button was added to Storage Settings. This helps fix issues with downloading Marketplace content without deleting your worlds.
