If you already managed to try the grand Minecraft PE 1.16.210 full version (or even if you didn’t), we invite you to go further and see what other new features the Mojang team developed for us this week. Minecraft Bedrock 1.16.220.52 brings not only new features, modifications in the world modification but also a big number of fixes made in relation to the errors affecting some freshly-introduced features, including the lightning rod and the copper blocks.
Before starting, it is our duty to prevent you that you may lose your existing worlds when installing the present one, so please keep a copy of them. The worlds created in this version can be accessed only with it or with other upcoming versions, so if you are planning to use earlier versions, we suggest you make copies of your builds again. Also, note that you cannot play with people who use full versions and in Realms while trying the beta that we are talking about now.

As we already told you, there are a lot of new blocks for you to explore, but first, let’s get it done with the fixed problems done in relation to the:
Lightning Rod:

• When hit by lightning, they will make the copper’s oxidation period slower, but only if they are placed near them
  
• Fixed the color of leaves that have blocks around them and have the rod placed on them
  
• Canceled their ability to connect to fences and walls, just like in the Java game edition
  
• Fixed issue making liquids re-render when such rods are placed on them
  
• Fixed problem of the player not being able to interact with any blocks if he/she holds such a rod in his/her hand
  
• Made particles emit around it when there is a thunderstorm
  

Copper blocks:

• Made particles emit around them when the player waxes them
  
• Made particles emit around them when the player de-waxes them (see details about de-waxing copper below)
  
• Made particles emit around them when the dispenser de-waxes them
  
• Made particles emit around them when they are struck by lightning
  
• Resolved a texture-related problem affecting these blocks’ orientation in caves
  
• Removed the ability to craft using them if they already oxidized
  
• Made the sounds played when walking on them assigned to the Player’s audio category
  
• Made them craftable in the stonecutter if they are waxed
  
• All their variants are implemented as separate block IDs
  
• Gave the players the possibility to obtain two slabs when making them from blocks in the stonecutter
  
• Fixed the coloring of stairs and slabs made of such blocks in maps
  
• Made it de-waxable using a furnace
  
• Added the ability to craft these blocks and their cut variants into stairs and slabs
  
• Made it de-waxable using an axe. This way the player can scrap off the patina step by step

• Made it possible to use the back button using the keyboard
  
• Resolved the errors occurring when the user applies the /clear command
  
• Resolved the error preventing view bobbing from being disabled by the user
  
• Resolved an error making crosshair lose its transparency
  
• Resolved an issue affecting the piston’s textures
  
• Resolved an issue preventing fog from being scaled properly in the nether
  
• Resolved an issue making texts on signs appear incorrectly
  
• Resolved Minecraft PE crashing when the user and the bottle of experience hit the portal at the same time
  

Dear players, there are more fixes in this version, but we mentioned only the most important ones because we still have to tell you about the new blocks and don’t want to take too much of your time.
So, there are a lot of cool new blocks for you to explore and interact with. All of them are meant to generate in Lush Caves. These blocks are:

• Moss blocks and carpets
  
• Cave vines with glow berries growing on them
  
• Simple azalea and azalea leaves and their flowering variants
  
• Hanging roots
  
• Spore blossom blocks
  
• Dripleaf blocks
  
• Rooted dirt
  

Look at the picture below to see an example of the new Lush caves with all their blocks. If you want to see them in your Bedrock world, install this version and enable the Experimental Features toggle.
