Minecraft Bedrock Beta 1.21.50.28 Patch Notes: Eyeblossom Updates, Texture Improvements, Bug Fixes, and Additional Changes

The latest Minecraft Bedrock Edition beta, version 1.21.50.28, has officially launched, showcasing an array of enhancements and bug fixes, although it does not introduce any new gameplay features. As Mojang Studios prepares players for exciting upcoming updates during the Winter drop, this patch lays the groundwork for anticipated changes and improvements.

This update focuses primarily on optimizing textures across various brick blocks, ensuring they are visually coherent. Significantly, the update addresses previously problematic textures for certain leaf types, eliminating black markings visible from a distance. Additionally, there have been adjustments to the interaction mechanics between bees and the introduced Eyeblossom flowers, further enhancing the gameplay experience.

Under the new mechanics, bees will only experience poisoning when they interact with an open Eyeblossom, and the duration of the poison effect has been decreased. Let’s delve into the detailed patch notes to see what modifications and enhancements have been made in Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.28.
