Minecraft PE 1.16.220

Dear subscribers and guests, the Mojang team finally released another full game version, that is Minecraft PE 1.16.220. Even if the betas released lately brought us a lot of new features and interesting changes, full versions are better because they are way more stable and assure a smoother gameplay. Moreover, they allow us to play with people who also use full versions and in Realms.
The present update contains many fixes, a big part of them being developed for the map and addon creators, but it also brings a very cool new possibility regarding signs.

• From now on, we will be able to modify the colors of the signs in our Bedrock worlds using dyes. In our opinion, this is a great opportunity allowing us to make our builds more individual and beautiful.
  
  
  
  

Fixes:

• A lot of game crashes were successfully fixed. The most serious ones used to occur when entering a nether portal and using a bottle of enchantment and when renaming a certain map on anvil when the second slot is not empty
  
• The problem of the nether fog rendering incorrectly or failing to render at all sometimes was resolved
  
• The problem of the players entering with a visitor permission failing to drop their inventories upon death was resolved
  
• The problem of drowned not holding tridents correctly was resolved
  
• The animation of the drowned’s arms while they throw tridents was corrected
  
• The problem of shield not getting attached correctly to certain hostile obs was resolved
  
• The problem making non-consistent mobs despawn as soon as they enter the nether dimension was resolved
  
• The problem not letting arrows and tridents pass throw structure void blocks was resolved
  
• The problems preventing players from placing blocks on all sides of other blocks such as top snow, stairs, etc, were resolved
  
• The problem making pistons look black if the player does not enable outline selection was resolved
  
• Several problems making the screen reader read some texts incorrectly or failing to read at all were resolved
  
• The missing ‘find friends’ button was introduced where it should (on Xbox)
  
• A problem affecting the controllers in the Jurassic World pack was resolved
  
• The Marketplace inventory “results” field not updating normally when searching through sections was corrected
  
• A problem not letting players using VR see the death messages in certain situations was resolved
  
• The Storage menu that was previously too dark was made lighter in color
  
• A problem preventing button textures from being scaled properly in certain situations was resolved
  
• A problem making entity selectors allow self selection when cheats are not enabled was resolved
  
• A problem preventing command /clear from working normally in regards to saplings was resolved
  
• The problem preventing command blocks in command block chains from displaying the right number of ticking areas in certain situations was resolved
  
• The problem making %signs appear twice even if the player introduces it just once in command /title was resolved
  
• The problem of command execute disregarding the target’s dimension was resolved
  
• A Character Creator-related problem of Steve’s feet getting colored in the same color as his pants when he has no shoes on was resolved
  
• Another strange problem making some players look just like Steve when playing in multiplayer was resolved
  
• A problem preventing skins from being saved properly after changing them in split-screen was resolved
  
• A problem making Alex’s shirt look strange when the player equips it with certain kinds of pants was resolved
  
• A problem making the “hooray” emote disappear from the emote list after the player buys it was resolved
