Minecraft 1.16.210.56 Changelog

Dripstone

Added pointed dripstone blocks
- These can be found in the creative inventory for now
A pointed dripstone block can be placed in the ceiling and on the floor, creating stalactites and stalagmites
Falling on a stalagmite causes increased fall damage
Breaking the ceiling above a stalactite causes it to fall towards the ground and will cause damage on impact with entities
Stalactites have a dripping water and lava animation
Known issues:
- When hanging Pointed Dripstones start falling their position is slightly offset
- Sneaking while placing tips of opposing stalactites and stalagmites merges them
- Placed pointed dripstone can be destroyed by lava on Bedrock
- If player is killed by stalactite or stalagmite fall damage, custom death message is not displayed
- Pointed dripstone item is rendered differently in-hand on Bedrock compared to Java Edition
- Placing pointed dripstones in water results in the water being removed
- Player receives 2 points of damage when jumping on a stalagmite

Introducing the bizarre, tendril-filled world of sculk – prepare for sculk sensors to creep you out with their unique ability to detect nearby vibrations
A vibration is anything that causes physical motion; if you are careful, there are some motions that are undetectable to sensors by sneaking. There are still quite a few of these events missing though - stay tuned!
These sneak-friendly vibrations currently include walking, falling to the ground
The current list of vibration events are as follows: (more will be added in future updates)
- Step
- Swim
- Block Place
- Block Destroy
- Elytra Free Fall
- Hit Ground
- Splash
- Projectile Shoot
Sculk sensors will not listen to vibrations that are directly created by other sculk sources
When a vibration is detected, a signal is sent from the source location to the sensor at a speed of 1 game tick per block
Other vibrations cannot be detected by a sensor when a signal is already traveling to it
When the signal has arrived, the sensor will be activated for 40 game ticks (approximately 2 seconds)
While activated, the sensor cannot detect other vibrations
Sculk sensors can detect vibrations in an 8-block radius around it
Known issues:
- Sculk sensors cannot be waterlogged
- Wool occlusion is not yet added to the blocks’ functionality. This will be added in a later beta

General

Fixed Pork Chop achievement and trophy being unlocked by raw porkchop
Fixed a bug where foxes wouldn't knock off and eat sweet berries
Clicking "Download Template" when missing required templates of an existing world now correctly downloads the required templates
Fixed bug that allowed players to place custom spawn eggs by default in Adventure mode

Commands

The '/setblock' command now supports setting the connected state for the soul_lantern block
The '/setblock' command now supports setting the rotation state for the chain block
'SetBlock' and 'SetBlockAtPos' events now support custom block states

Blocks

Fix for certain Marketplace worlds having incorrect block data when played on Realms and multiplayer between mobile and PC

World Generation

Mcstructure files saved with entities no longer crash game when loaded into the world

Technical Changes

A boolean parameter called "ignore_game_mode" is added for the block event response "decrement_stack", set to false by default. Thus "decrement_stack" no longer decreases the item stack when playing in Creative by default
