5 best changes implemented in the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.28 beta and preview

1) Changes to block behavior

Thanks to the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.28 beta and preview, trial spawners with a mob set by a spawn egg no longer revert to an empty state when the cooldown comes to an end. Additionally, mangrove leaves will now have a dedicated texture when players disable fancy leaves, allowing for smoother gameplay and optimization on low-end devices.

Nether and Resin have also received a visual overhaul to align horizontally with all other brick blocks. On the other hand, moss blocks have a quieter step and land sound, and decorated pots no longer activate observers when the world loads.

2) Pale Garden changes

The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.28 beta and preview introduces changes for the Pale Garden biome. The sky now appears darker at the horizon during rain while inside the biome.

The update also accommodates the recently introduced eyeblossoms since it introduces a feature where sculk sensors can detect the opening and closing of the flower. Additionally, it has modified the behavior of the poison effect from the eyeblossom — bees now receive damage when they are within the block.

3) Changes to mobs

The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.28 beta and preview also introduces a host of changes and features for mobs. As part of the update, the creaking will no longer sometimes phase through blocks if players look at it from far away. Additionally, ravagers can now destroy all types of leaf blocks.

The update also tweaks the behavior of bees and their interaction with items. They can no longer be tempted by the closed eyeblossom, a variant of the new flower introduced in the Pale Garden biome. If the bees are fed open eyeblossoms, they get inflicted with the poison effect while the wither roses apply the wither effect on the mob.

Many changes have been made in the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.28 beta and preview to improve the user interface. As part of the modifications, items in a bundle tooltip now have a gray background, and the bundle tooltip correctly appears after being placed from the cursor.

Additionally, the update has made modifications to touch controls, fixing a bug where the camera would sometimes get stuck after leaving a boat. It has also addressed a change to the gamepad tooltips, which are now correctly displayed when hovering over the crafting output in the inventory screen as well as the crafting table screen.

Another addition is the ability to feature and showcase screenshots to other players who visit a profile. This also allows them to set custom world thumbnails from in-game screenshots

5) Changes for vanilla parity

Vanilla parity refers to Minecraft's efforts to balance features and behaviors to ensure uniformity across the Bedrock and Java editions. In that effort, managing to eliminate a wolf, silverfish, or bee in one hit no longer angers nearby mobs of the same type. Additionally, managing to eliminate a zombified piglin does not aggravate similar mobs in the vicinity.

Additionally, changes have been made to adjust the frequency of ambient sounds emitted by eyeblossoms, the creaking heart, as well as the Pale hanging moss.
