Players can protect themselves from Powder Snow by equipping leather armor. Mobs inside a block of Powder Snow start to freeze and eventually take damage. Most mobs cannot walk on Powder Snow, but fall into the block instead. Powder Snow is now available in the Creative inventory in the game, outside of the Experimental Features. Moving forward, Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Betas should include far more features for players to test as development peaks on the first phase of the Caves and Cliffs Update. Instead, the 1.16 branch makes way for the massive upcoming Caves and Cliffs Update and the 1.17 branch. With the latest Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.0.50, the Nether Update branch is officially no more.
Today is a big day for Minecraft players enrolled in the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition betas.
The beta includes a ton of new features and tweaks, and hides another batch of new features behind the "Experimental Features" toggle. Today, Minecraft: Bedrock Edition betas officially move to the 'Caves and Cliffs Update' with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.0.50. Minecraft: Bedrock Edition has been able to test a handful of new features using its "Experimental Features" toggle.
Mojang Studios is in the middle of developing the next major update for Minecraft, or the 'Caves and Cliffs Update.'. Soon fans will be able to enjoy the same, world-building game no matter what device they choose to play on. It's good to see Minecraft becoming a more unified experience across all platforms. The first image is a temporary interface that is then replaced with the new iteration. To illustrate how the Windows 10 user-interface is being improved, Mojang has a few. You can read the update's full announcement for complete details. Additionally, players can discover and explore sandstone temples in desert biomes, and rabbits now populate the world. Thankfully, Mojang is addressing some of those concerns (no, mod support isn't here yet) with the new 0.13 update, which further closes the gap between platforms.įollowing update 0.12, version 0.13 gives Windows 10/Pocket players access to the Nether, Enchanting and Brewing (introduced in 0.12), and the highly requested Basic Redstone. Concerned fans have called out the lack of parity between those versions and Minecraft proper, specifically for its lack of mod integration. Rather than continue with the mod-friendly PC version fans know, Mojang has paired the Windows 10 edition with the 30 million unit-selling Pocket version. The Windows 10 Minecraft beta has been a curious thing to watch develop.
