PLEASE READ before participating in the Minecraft Beta:
- Joining the beta will replace your game with a work in progress version of Minecraft
- You will not have access to Realms and will not be able to join non-beta players while you're previewing the beta
- Any worlds played while in the beta cannot be opened in previous versions of the game so please make copies of worlds to prevent losing them
- Beta builds can be unstable and are not representative of final version quality
- The beta is available only on Xbox One, Windows 10, and Android (Google Play). To join or leave the beta, see aka.ms/JoinMCBeta for detailed instructions
General
- Lava and water textures are now visible after placing Slime block or Honey block next to or above them (MCPE-62255)
- End gateways will now correctly calculate distance to the center block when searching for an exit position (MCPE-48922)
- Plants and crops now grow more consistently when near chunk borders
Structure Blocks
- Removed the name field from the structure block 3D Export screen
- Fixed incorrect chunk position calculation for block changes that occur during the structure block preview window
- Structure loading/saving no longer affects ticking blocks in nearby chunks
- Fixed the Reset button not re-rendering the wireframe bounding box
Technical/Commands
- Fixed the logic that decides whether or not an entity can be summoned. Now you can summon an entity using the execute command, which this bug disallowed
- Fixed particles when using animation controllers to play particles and switching to a different state that also plays particles
