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 

Sculk Sensor 

• 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 

Bug Fixes

 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  

Other Known Issues in this Beta: 

• A crash may occur when suspending and resuming the game on Android
• The patch notes screen may contain an invalid link to the Marketplace
