A recent buzz in the gaming world is all about Minecraft's new updates. Although a "soaring Skies" update was rumored, it turns out that was just a dream. Instead, the focus is on the exciting Bedrock Edition 1.20.1.60 update, which is all set and ready to launch.
Bedrock players have a lot to look forward to. Unlike Java Edition, which updates frequently, Bedrock updates come out about eight times a year. The reason is that Bedrock runs on many platforms, and each requires a review period. This means Bedrock updates need more planning and timing.
One of the standout features in this new update is the fully functional pause button. Something Java players have had for a while, Bedrock players can now enjoy the same. Before, hitting pause didn't quite stop the action—much to some players' frustration. With the update, everything stops when you pause, including chickens and pigs.
Another thrilling change is the return of surface ravines. Previously, ravines would only generate below the surface. Now, these ravines can stretch to the surface, even weaving through villages. This adds a new challenge and thrill to exploring.
World generation is also seeing changes. Every biome will now have surface decorations that mirror the Java edition. Grass, flowers, trees, and more will have new spots. These tweaks make each Minecraft world feel unique and vibrant.
The pick block feature gets an update too. It's always been a handy tool, letting players quickly grab blocks. Now, Bedrock survival players can use this feature. Mobile players will need to enable this in settings, but it promises to make building much easier.
Switch players aren't left out either. Performance improvements mean players can enjoy smoother gameplay. A 4% boost might not seem like much, but every little bit counts in ensuring a better gaming experience.
Release timing for this update is estimated based on past patterns. Bedrock's updates typically roll out on Tuesdays, about two weeks after the last preview. So, players should expect this exciting update soon. The next few weeks are looking promising for all Bedrock fans.
As Bedrock development continues, 1.20.1.70 is already in the works. This future update is expected to bring even more exciting changes, aligning with the spring update on Java Edition. Fans will be on the lookout for hints of what's to come.
For more news and updates, it's always good to keep an eye on official announcements. With each update, Minecraft continues to grow and improve, offering its community new ways to enjoy the game.
