Minecraft PE 1.16.0

If you are an active visitor of our website, you couldn’t have missed all the fuss around the Nether Update, an upcoming version promising us a totally new and exciting Nether with a lot of fantastic biomes, mobs, and blocks. Minecraft 1.16.0.51 is the first beta revealing all the new Nether’s secrets.

Whats new in Minecraft Bedrock 1.16 Nether Update

Like we already mentioned, this hellish version brings new biomes for you to explore, mobs to interact with and blocks to build.

• The Nether Fog Biome is not actually a biome, but a mysterious fog connecting the rest of the biomes in the Nether
  
• The Nether Warped Forests are very mysterious-looking and creepy places, but regardless of the first impression this biome creates, it is less dangerous for the player compared to the rest of the Nether biomes. Here you will find a lot of weird looking vegetation, dominated by warped nylium and fungi. Because the place is dark and covered in a dense blue fog and the air in it is studded with wwarped spores, a source of light is absolutely necessary, so there are shroomlights to help you see clearer.
  
  
  
  
• The Nether Crimson Forests are quite similar to the previously described biomes, but instead of the nylium described above there is crimson nylium and enormous fungi . The caves in this biomes are “decorated ” with weeping vines. This forest is not as safe as the previous forest. All the mobs brought by this version like to wander around here.
  
• The Nether Soulsand Valleys are seemingly the creepiest places around here. There is no vegetation here, just soul sand, soul soil hot ashes floating in the air and a blue glow covering the entire place. The players must be extremely careful here, because the place is haunted by skeletons.
  

Version 1.16.0.51 brings an incredible number of blocks that can be discovered in the described-above biomes. These are:

• Crimson stem is a block located in crimson forests. It looks like wood but it is not flammable.
  
• Warped stem is a block located in warped forests. It looks like wood but it is not flammable.
  
• Basalt blocks are Nether pillars but you can use them for other purposes too
  
• Crimsom Nylium are blocks serving as ground in crimson forests. It can be spread by using bone meal on it.
  
• Warped Nylium are blocks serving as ground in warped forests. It can be spread as described in the point above
  
• Shroomlights are newly introduced light sources
  
• Nether sprouts are a new kind of vegetation
  
• Crimsom roots are similar vegetation too
  
• So are the Warped roots
  
• Crimson fungi can be helped to grow with bone meal
  
• Warped fungi can be helped to grow with bone meal
  
• Weeping vines have a mainly decorative aim for the caves
  
• Soul soil is an absolutely magic block. The players can use it to summon withers and to craft light sources
  
• Target block, which is for now just experimental because the developers intend to improve it in the near future
  

• The Nether Hoglins are mainly living in crimson biomes. They are very aggressive and they try to kill players as soon as they notice them. If destroyed, they are dropping pork chops. If you want to try breeding these beasts, you can do it by using crimson fungi, but the result may end in you getting hurt, so be cautious. Hoglins fear piglins (see description below) but not enough as to give up without a bloody fight. These creatures don’t really like warped fungi smells, so you can use it to keep them away. The baby hoglins are very cute. They try to look hostile, but they present no danger to the player.
  
  
  
  
• The Nether Piglins also live in the same forests too but they also like to full around in the local wastes. Just like the previously described mobs, they are hostile, but not towards players who are dressed decently (just a hint). To avoid being destroyed by the piglins:
  
  1. Do never open chests in their presence
     
  2. Do never mine gold blocks in their presence
     
  
  You can barter for various helpful items with the piglins. For this, throw gold ingots at them.
  Piglins are very courageous and attack players and wither skeletons. They also attack hoglins, but as we already mentioned, the hoglins are not the most coward creatures so the results of such fights may vary from case to case.
  Piglins usually fight in large groups.
  
  
  
  
• Nether Zombified Piglins are custom piglins that were infortunate enough to die in the overworld. They attack and scare the hell out of the ordinary piglins.
  

Netherite is an absolutely awesome looking material. Players can use it to make their diamond gear better looking and more effective. Because this material does not sink in lava, in case a player wearing such a gear is affected by lava, he won’t lose all of his/her items. The items crafted with netherite have a high enchantment value and the tools are more durable. The netherite weapons cause a lot of damage and the armor is tougher (even more than the diamond weapons and armor). Moreover, the armor gives the player a resistance to knockback attacks. The player use netherite for creating ingots and as fuel for beacon. To obtain netherite, you should dig in the ancient debris in the deepest places of the Nether. We must warn you that this is extremely dangerous. After, combine four gold ingots with four netherite scrap in the crafting table.
