Minecraft PE 1.16.200

By visiting our website, you will always be up to date with the latest game-related news, and today is one of those days. The Mojang Studios team released Minecraft PE 1.16.200. This version contains almost as many changes, updates, and fixes as Minecraft PE 1.16.100, so take your time to explore them.

Starting with this grand release, the players will have many more possibilities and of course, the playing process will be smoother and bugless.
Let’s start with what’s most important:

• From now on, the Ray Tracing can be enabled by the Windows 10 users if they have the required graphic hardware. This means that your MCPE world will acquire a totally new dimension with cutting-edge lighting and super-realistic textures. Thanks to this option, everything, starting with the lighting, and ending in the maps will be incredibly beautiful and realistic. The map and addon creators can benefit from these possibilities too because the developers introduced new documentation for creating game content.
  
  
  
  
• From now on, the Open XR can be used on Windows 10. This is done to support Oculus VR and Windows MR. This way you can use an optional open-sourced API standard that will allow you to join a bigger choice of devices from the vendors who span across MR/VR devices. The Open XR option allows a better unification of the MR and VR devices.
  
  
  
  
• From now on, the RenderDragon can be enabled by Windows 10 users too. This way, the Windows 10 users can also enjoy a better game stability. Unfortunately, mobile users cannot use this option yet, but the Mojang team is working on this.
  
• As we mentioned in an article about a previously-released version, the MCPE users will be able to control their music and sound volumes with the new Volume Settings. The sliders from the Main Settings menu will allow you to manage the volume of the sounds as shown in the picture below.
  
  

These are the new game features

The developers also pay special attention to the vanilla parity lately, but you probably know about the ones from this version, because they have been introduced in the previously-released betas. Some of them are:
Fireballs coming from ghasts can’t destroy basalt anymore
Dragon eggs will drop as items if killed by an explosion
Bees do not fly away further than twenty-two blocks from their nests
The texture of the leggings made of Netherite was updated
Disabled the option of placing twisting vines on composters while sneaking
