8 best features and changes in Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25
Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25 is out now for all compatible devices. The update brings a host of features to the Pale Garden ahead of its release with the upcoming Winter Drop. It introduces an array of features to the biome and implements a few gameplay and balancing changes to existing mobs and blocks in the game.
Here are the best features and changes in Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25.
What are the best features and changes in Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25?
1) Eyeblossom flower
Eyeblossom is a new flower that has been added exclusively to Minecraft's Pale Garden. This unique flower has a day/night cycle that affects its visual and functional behavior. During the day, it is closed and appears grey, but at night, it blooms with an orange glow. Although the plant can be a great way to navigate the biome, it is not strong enough to repel the creaking.
The eyeblossom can be harvested for dyes — gray dye during the day and orange dye at night. Additionally, you can add the mysterious flower to suspicious stew to for a blindness or nausea effect (depending on the variant added). The fact that this plant is toxic to bees should be a clear sign that it isn't to be messed with.
2) Resin
Resin is another feature added to the Pale Garden as part of the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25 update. This multi-face block is spawned from Pale Oak trees and can only be collected when a creaking mob is damaged. It is found in clumps and can be combined in the crafting table to create resin blocks.
Resin blocks can be used as building materials. They can also be refined into resin bricks, which can be used to make several items, such as stairs, walls, slabs, and more.
3) Changes to the creaking heart
One of the most interesting mechanics introduced in the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25 beta and preview is the ability to craft a creaking heart using resin. You can now craft the mob's heart by using a block of resin and placing it between two Pale Oak logs in the crafting bench. The creaking heart can be used to spawn the creaking mob, so this is a great way to farm the heart.
Additionally, naturally generated creaking hearts will now drop 20 to 24 experience, even when collected with Silk Touch.
4) Changes to Pale Garden mechanics
The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25 has introduced a host of changes to the features and behaviors of the Pale Garden. The color of the biome's sky at night has been further adjusted to match the game's Java edition in an effort at vanilla parity.
Pale Oak saplings can now be composted, while the Pale Hanging moss has received similar sounds as other moss and Pale moss blocks to ensure uniformity across the category.
The frequency of the Pale Hanging Moss ambiance sound has also been increased to add to the eerie setting in the biome.

5) Modifications to the creaking mob
Thanks to the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25 update, the creaking has received a boost to its speed when it is attacked and will deal more damage.
Additionally, when a creaking heart is destroyed, the creaking connected to it will now twitch for a few seconds before crumbling and disappearing. This has been implemented to make the demise of the mob more realistic. The creature's attack speed has also been reduced for parity with the title's Java edition.
The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25 update has also introduced changes to the creaking's walking and attack animation, making it seem more authentic and eerie. In addition to those changes, a creaking spawned by a creaking heart no longer avoids damaging blocks. Those spawned by commands or spawn eggs are no longer invulnerable to fire and lava.
6) Updates to blocks and items
The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25 introduces a host of changes to existing blocks and mobs to improve the gameplay performance for players. Items such as the dispenser, blast furnace, hopper, cauldron, smoke, dropper, enchanting table, and furnace blocks can now only be dropped when broken with a pickaxe.
The update balances the effects of the budding amethyst, which is now slower to mine with an improper tool. It also fixes an issue where the color of a shulker box was not being displayed as part of the name listing. Additionally, grass and nylium blocks now decay to dirt and netherrack when placed below an observer.

7) Gameplay updates
Mojang is known to implement gameplay changes with updates, and this is also the case with Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25.
The camera in the game now rotates the correct way around the X and Y axes when the /camera command is invoked in-game. Additionally, a change has been made to the bundles that were recently added as part of the Bundles of Bravery drop.
Using an empty bundle now causes a specific animation to play in first- and third-person person view, improving the user experience of the item.
8) Updates to the user interface
The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25 update introduces many modifications to the game's user interface.
Firstly, the size of a shield item no longer changes when it is moved between slots in the inventory. Additionally, it is now possible to collect crafting output with a bundle to add specific crafted items to the bundle itself.
The 1.21.50.25 update has also introduced changes to touch controls, primarily for Pocket Edition users. It has even fixed a bug where boats could be interacted with during control customization.
A new feature, allowing players to double tap the "fly up" to stop flying in joystick mode, has also been introduced. Meanwhile, the X button from the Command Block UI (when using the gamepad) has been removed.
