Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.10.22 beta and preview: Best features and changes

The Minecraft 1.21.10.22 update brings quite a few changes that can affect the player's usual gameplay. Out of the numerous changes, here are five that we think are the most significant:

1) Shaders no longer crash

Minecraft shaders are among the most popular add-ons, even in the Bedrock Edition. They enhance the visual quality of the game, often transforming the familiar blocky and pixelated Minecraft into something comparable to modern AAA titles.

However, this amazing feature had been unusable on Android devices that utilize an Arm Mali GPU, as the game would crash quite often with shaders enabled. This annoying bug has now been fixed, allowing players to enjoy the latest Tricky Trials update features.

2) Different material doors can now form double doors

Doors made with different materials can now be placed to function like double doors. This feature, introduced in the Java Edition not too long ago, is now available in the Bedrock version of the game.

Although combining different types of doors may seem strange to many, it provides players who enjoy unorthodox aesthetics with a good option to pair two doors together.

3) Player-fired wind charges are now faster

The wind charge is a unique craftable item that can be thrown by the player. The projectile moves in a straight line, and upon impact, a burst of wind appears, causing a knockback effect on nearby entities.

The Minecraft wind charge is primarily used as a parkour item and to prevent fall damage in emergencies. With the 1.21.10.22 beta update, the speed of the wind charge, when used by a player, has been increased by 50% to bring it in line with the Java Edition.

Additionally, the bell no longer rings twice when a wind charge projectile activates it, and the model of the projectile now renders correctly with its bounding box.

4) Brightness control options

A new quality-of-life feature has been added to the video settings menu, allowing players to control the brightness and gamma levels. These settings can be accessed in the latest beta and preview version by switching the graphics mode to the "Deferred Technical Preview" option, after which the control sliders will appear.

5) Players do not receive damage during world load

An annoying bug that was causing players to experience damage from mobs or other sources while exiting or loading into a world before the cause of the damage even appeared on the player's screen has now been finally fixed.

The same issue was causing damage to players when the game was loading into another dimension or during the dimension change animation.
