If you are an active Bedrock user, you are probably up to date with all the cool features developed lately and with all the talk around the Caves and Cliffs update. Last week we informed our readers about the release of the first beta of the grand update. If you managed to read the article, you probably noticed that the MCPE developers started making the experimental features non-experimental, this meaning that to enjoy them, players won’t have to enable any toggles anymore. In Minecraft PE 1.17.0.52 they managed to move even more features so we can welcome them officially.

Starting with Minecraft PE 1.17.0.50 and continuing with the present beta, you will detect that the following features are non-experimental anymore:

• Raw copper ores
  
• Raw gold ores
  
• Raw iron ores
  
• Goats
  
• Glow Item Frames
  
• Glow Squids
  
• Glow Ink
  
• Dripstone
  
• Pointed Dripstone
  
• Powder Snow
  
• Axolotls
  

The developers noticed that some strange errors may happen when the experimental toggle is enabled, for example, mobs failing to spawn below a certain level and underwater view distance being totally different from how it was initially planned. Happily, these problems were resolved, but this is not everything they had to fix. They also had to resolve a lot of other problems, so they:

• Moved the Caves and Cliffs toggle that was not localized correctly
  
• Made the dripstones destroy as they should when the blocks they are placed on are broken as a result of block updates
  
• Made trees grow normally when the player bonemeals saplings that are planted on moss blocks
  
• Corrected the sounds emitted by axolotls and increased their swimming frequency
  
• Introduced the possibility to repair stone tools and weapons on an anvil using cobbled deepslate, just like in the Java edition
  
• Made powder snow fill cauldrons correctly
  
• Made most mobs walk on powder snow correctly
  
• Made mobs that are inside such snow freeze (this will happen step by step and eventually, the mobs will get damage)
  
• Made buckets a useful tool for picking up and placing such snow
  
• Fixed several minor issues affecting the glow lichen’s map colors and visibility
  
• Improved the colors of the texts that are applied on signs
  
• Improved the colors of azalea and their flowering variants on maps
  
• Made maps and posters shine inside glow item frames
  
• Developed the possibility to obtain more raw ores when applying a fortune enchantment
  
• Fixed a serious problem preventing users from connecting to Realms and multiplayer sessions while using cellular data
  
• Fixed bugs affecting the underwater view distance and the underwater fog
  
• Made boats break when interacting with cacti
  
• Corrected the position of bows and crossbows when the player/mob shoots with it
  
• Fixed a bug allowing players to craft different-colored fireworks using one single dye
  
• Fixed a bug preventing mobs from making sounds when entering the water
