Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.28 beta and preview patch notes: Eyeblossom changes, texture changes, bug fixes, and more

The Minecraft 1.21.50.28 beta and preview has been released for Bedrock Edition, bringing many interesting changes and fixes, but no new features. That said, Mojang Studios has already announced numerous features for the Winter drop, so players can expect upcoming patches to include many changes and fixes related to them.

Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.28 has improved the textures of all brick blocks by aligning them consistently. Among the adjustments, certain leaves will no longer have black textures when viewed from afar. The new eyeblossom flowers have also received some changes, particularly regarding the way bees interact with them.

Now, bees will only be poisoned when they interact with open eyeblossom. Mojang has also reduced the duration of this poison effect on bees. Let's go through the complete patch notes for Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.28 to find out what's been changed and fixed.
