Minecraft Bedrock players have something new to explore with the release of Update 1.20.60. This update brings over 100 different features. These changes are evenly split between the Overworld and mobs. Players can now experience changes in their game that were once only possible on other platforms.
One of the biggest changes is the game pause option. This feature lets players pause the game, even with a creeper charging toward them. It works in both single-player and multiplayer worlds. This means players can take a break without worrying about losing progress. It's a feature that many have eagerly awaited.
The update also focuses on parity with the Java Edition. Many biomes now have updated decorations. For instance, flower generation is more organized, with clusters instead of random placement. Jungles are denser, and oceans have more seagrass and kelp. Other updates include the return of ravines on the surface, which can be found cutting through villages. This change brings back some nostalgia from earlier Bedrock days.
Enderman behavior has also been updated. They no longer teleport out of boats and minecarts, which is a big deal for speedrunners. In addition, many technical changes and bug fixes aim to enhance the overall gaming experience. The update includes over 80 bug fixes.
For those interested in new features, the update allows for experimenting with future game content. Players can toggle certain features, such as breeding new pig variants. Cold, warm, and temperate pigs can be bred, and their offspring inherit traits from their parents.
Other notable updates include changes to the Woodland Mansion loot chests and the addition of Falling Leaf particles for all trees. Players can also explore new commands and features, like placing World features through commands.
The update is a significant step in bringing parity between Bedrock and Java versions. It enhances the gaming experience with new features and fixes. Players are encouraged to explore and enjoy these new updates and keep an eye out for future content drops.
