Since the implementation of the aggressive automated chat safety filters, players are experiencing "silent filtering" or "shadow mutes" when typing completely benign words that are relevant to the game mode they are playing (specifically minigames like Murder Mystery on featured servers such as The Hive).
When a player types a word like "murderer" or "imposter" (or references to external platforms like "IG" for Instagram), the message appears on their own screen as if it was sent successfully. However, the message is completely invisible to every other player in the lobby or world. This makes communication in social-deduction minigames impossible, as the sender has no feedback that their message has been silently blocked.
Steps to Reproduce:
Log into a Minecraft Bedrock multiplayer environment (such as a local world, Realm, or a featured server like The Hive) using two different accounts on separate devices.
On Account A, type and send a standard gameplay word like "murderer", "imposter", or "check on ig".
Observe the chat window on Account A. (The message appears to have been sent successfully).
Observe the chat window on Account B.
Observed Results:
The message is completely missing from Account B's chat window. There is no asterisk, hashtag (####), or "Message Hidden" warning shown to Account A indicating that their chat did not reach the other players.
Expected Results:
Either the message should be allowed through (since "murderer" and "imposter" are essential terms for Bedrock's featured minigames), or the sender should receive a clear notification that their message was blocked/filtered so they know they aren't actually communicating.
I’m having the same problem here too! Happens on all of my devices, like iPad and Windows PC, and I'm sure the profanity filter has been turned off.
