There are a few very cool surprises prepared for us by the Mojang Studios team this week. In Minecraft Bedrock 1.16.230.52, which is the newest beta, and in our opinion is even better than Minecraft Bedrock 1.16.230.50 that was released last week, they have introduced a mob with a very distinctive behavior and a new block along with all its possible variants. Of course, they have not forgotten about the bugfixes too.

Whats new in Minecraft Bedrock 1.16.230.52

Let us give priority to the new character and start with its description:

The Axolotl. This new creature has the enlisted-below distinctive features:

• Spawns in water, under the ground
• Can have random colors (except blue)
• Blue ones can be obtained only by breeding these characters
• Attacks only mobs that live underwater, for example, fish
• Adores tropical fish in buckets, so the player can use such buckets to tempt and breed them
• Can be picked up in big amounts using empty buckets
• May dry out really fast when is not underwater
• Can fake their death. They do this when they take damage. During the period when they fake, their health regenerates

These are the new mob’s general features, but you will learn more about it by installing the version and monitoring it in your gaming world. This is also available for the new block which is:

The Deepslate. This awesome-looking new block has a lot of variations: deepslate ores, chiseled, cobbled, polished, and even cracked deepslate. You can use these blocks to craft a lot of interesting things, for example, walls or stairs.

The Mojang team also made a number of technical changes and fixes: they introduced new functions, for example, getAmplifier and getDuration,more functions for the gametest and more, but we will let you discover all of them individually. Instead, we will enlist all the detected problems affecting the gameplay. These are:

• Poor underwater visibility
• Some blocks being placeable on pointed dripstones while naturally, this not being possible
• Dripstones not producing the right sounds when jumped or walked on
• Players not being able to wax oxidized copper
• Glowing lichen missing from the Nature tab
• Lightning rods failing to activate observers when they should
• Arrows and other projectiles getting stuck in dripleafs
• Water going through moss while it should be stopped by it
• Impossibility to place ladders, cakes, vines, item frames and other blocks on top of moss blocks
• Spore blossoms dropping hanging roots when mined with shears
• Mobs not recognizing moss blocks and failing to pathfind across them
• Screen reader pronouncing certain buttons incorrectly
• Trident being positioned incorrectly in entities’ hands
• Players failing to catch any kind of fish when trying to do this using a bucket
• Rabbits ignoring crops
• Pigs, chicken, sheep, and other farm animals eating infinitely the food given by the player

Happily, all these problems have been successfully resolved and won’t prevent us from playing smoothly anymore.
