Minecraft PE 1.16.230.50

Last week we had the chance to find out about a lot of new surprises introduced as experimental fixes with Minecraft PE 1.16.220.52. In just one week since its release, the most attentive players succeeded to detect several issues affecting some of these features. Happily, the MCPE developers could fix them and other issues preventing players from having a nice and smooth MCPE experience. Moreover, they also managed to develop a new light source generating in caves. You will learn about all these things by reading this article on Minecraft PE 1.16.230.50.

We are sure you want to find out about all the bugfixes carried out by the hard-working MCPE developers, but we bet you prefer to learn about the new features first, so we will satisfy your curiosity.
This week we have just one new Experimental Feature, but believe us, it is something spectacular. This is a kind of lichen working as a source of light and being very useful in caves. This lichen was named the Glow Lichen. The players will be able to spread it on numerous blocks by bonemealing it and will be able to pick it up using shears. Besides this, the new lichen can be waterlogged and composted.
