Minecraft PE 1.16.0.63

After Minecraft PE 1.16.0.61 released last week, the MCPE developers have a new beta for us to explore: Minecraft PE 1.16.0.63. You are probably confused about the fact that they skipped 1.16.0.62, but let us assure you that this is an absolutely normal fact in regards to MCPE beta versions.
Before enlisting its features, we must remind you that you cannot play in Realms and with players who use full game versions while playing in a beta and that the beta builds are usually not very stable comparing to the ones made in full versions.

Like always, the MCPE developers had to fix crashes, this time more of them:

• A crash happening when the player chooses to play in survival mode and when he/she crafted 64 honey blocks from the recipes book
  
• A crash happening when equipping Netherite armor
  
• A crash happening when a mob’s state changes
  

Besides the crashes, the developers along with the Minecraft PE players detected more lags, bugs, and other problems that had to be fixed too:

• A serious lag linked to the navigation walk occurring when a flying entity hits the ground was resolved.
  
• The loading screens have been updated and improved
  
• The issue affecting the Xbox One users when they try to access the marketplace was resolved

• Bastion remnants no longer host barrier blocks, but the chests found there will always contain loot
  
• The sounds accompanying the smithing table, lodestone, chains, weeping and twisting vines, and compass were fixed
  
• Twisting and weeping vines were improved and have additional features now
  
• Players can use charcoal to craft campfires and soul torches now
  
• The silk touch enchant now works on more blocks
  
• The player can push chains with a Piston now without breaking them
  
• When a Strider carries a baby strider, the baby will freeze when the big one is on land. Their movement speed was also modified
  
• The items crafted from netherite will be fire-resistant in all the situations
  
• The maximum length of the basalt colums is of ten blocks now
  
• All the mobs, except the piglins will prefer to use stone swords now
  
• The door textures was improved
