As part of the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.26 update, the Wandering Trader will now carry Pale Oak saplings, Pale Moss block, and the hanging Pale Moss among its offerings.

The Wandering Trader is a great way for players to purchase valuable resources in exchange for resources like emeralds. These items have been added to the trader's stock as part of Mojang's gradual rollout of the Pale Garden's features ahead of the Winter Drop.

2) Pale Garden gets a facelift

The Pale Garden got new features and changes as part of the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.26 update. The flammability of the Pale Moss, Pale Moss carpet, and Pale hanging moss has been changed, which makes them burn more quickly but take longer to catch fire. Additionally, they can now be ignited by lava.

The eerie eyeblossom flower, which was recently introduced, now plays sounds when opening and closing. This adds to the biome's haunting ambiance. Open eyeblossoms will also emit sounds when placed on a Pale Moss block.

Additionally, vines play the correct sounds, and the Pale Oak leaves now emit falling leaf particles, making a major atmospheric change to the existing visuals of the Pale Garden biome.

3) Creaking heart receives changes

The creaking heart is one of the best ways to spawn a creaking as well as collect the precious new item, resin. As part of the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.26 update, the distance by which the heart can spread resin clumps has been reduced by one block.

Resin clumps can now only spread onto a Pale Oak, stripped Pale Oak, Pale log, or the stripped Pale Oak log with a creaking heart connected to it. This limits the area of spread for the item and makes it easier for players to farm resin in Minecraft.

4) Creaking gets modifications

The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.26 also makes certain modifications to the behavior of the creaking mob. The speed of non-hostile creakings has been reduced, and the attack from tamed wolves no longer prevents the mob from attacking players.

Additionally, the creaking can no longer move when only its feet are observed or its feet are in soul sand or mud. As part of the update, these mobs can now approach a player who is looking downward. They will stop only once they enter the player's field of vision.

The creaking mob has also received new sway animations when hit by a projectile, as well as improvements to smooth out its attack animations for a more natural motion.

The Minecraft Bedrock update 1.21.50.26 beta and preview also implement some major changes to the user interface to improve the gameplay experience. This experimental version now enables the selection of disabled buttons on the 'Join friends' menu even while crossplay is turned off.

Additionally, Dualsense gamepads now have the correct tooltip icons on mobile devices, making it easier for players to read and know about their items. This update also addresses the issue of spacing on Minecraft Realms stories and timeline pages.

The beta and preview also fixed the issue where the death screen and new bed screen would sometimes have the incorrect textures applied when resource packs are enabled in the game. The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.26 update also fixed issues for touch-enabled devices as it addressed a bug where boats were interactive during control customization.
