MCPE-230289 Book and Quill Text Formatting Broken - Line Breaks and Alignment and Colored Text Behaving Inconsistently Community Consensus MCPE-230169 Severe Performance Issues, And possible memory leak after updating to 1.21.120 Duplicate

Comments

Update: Now Affects NEW Books Too (Vanilla 26.0-26.3 Realms) not just ones written before the GDK migration

Repro Steps

  1. Get a book and quill

2. Type:

. Example Text

. Example Text

. Example Text

. Example Text

2. Close without signing & reopen → Line breaks vanish, bullets/alignment jumble into garbage

Affected: Latest Bedrock 26.3, completely vanilla Realms, no addons. Old worlds books were bad, but now fresh books break too – kills all book usage.

Quite frankly, I find it completely absurd that this issue was raised almost half a year ago (Oct 30, 2025) with full repro steps, yet the staff refuse to do anything about it despite 9+ votes and multiple confirms.

Vote up if broken for you aswell!

I forgot to add in the previous message, this only appears to occur on books that are not signed, when you sign a book it saves the formatting, however as stated above when you edit, close, and reopen an unsigned book the formatting glitch occurs

The world was originally created on 1.19.60 i believe

I am unable to share the full world file as it contains private information like peoples real world names written on signs and in books. Since this is a public tracker where anyone can view and download said file, im not willing to upload it

There are no addons active, i am running the vanilla game

Yes

It seems to mostly occur with text formatted with bullet points like:

. Example text

. Example text

. Example text

. Example text

. Example text

After editing, closing, and reopening the book the text will all be jumbled and unformatted like this:

. Example text. Example text. Example text

. Example text. Example text

performance is still horrible as of the latest update, constant stuttering and frame drops
