The Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.80 update is finally here, and it brings some exciting features for players. From flat world biomes to better gameplay control, here are the top highlights of this update.
1. Flat World Biomes Now in Bedrock
Players can now build on flat world biomes in Bedrock Edition, a feature that was only available in Java before. The update adds several flat world presets like Classic Flat, Water World, and Tunneler’s Dream. These are perfect for players who enjoy mega builds or want to test mob farms.
2. Realms Get Smarter and Easier
The Realms system now includes an Advanced tab. This lets players pick their preferred server location or choose the best one automatically. The game also shows a message while joining Realms, so players know which server they’re connecting to. These changes make online play more reliable and smooth.
3. Blocks and Mobs Behave Better
The update improves the behavior of several blocks and mobs. Flowers and small plants now have the same look and random placement as in the Java version. Parrots can now mimic new mobs like phantoms and ravagers. Wither skeletons and zombified piglins can walk in lava. These changes bring the Bedrock Edition closer to Java in terms of gameplay.
4. UI and Storage Improvements
The update adds useful tools for managing storage. If a download fails, the game now shows a clear error message and a new Manage Storage button. Players can also clear stuck downloads using a Clear Download Cache option. On consoles, there’s now a Filter Profanity toggle to make gameplay safer for children. These small upgrades help players enjoy the game with fewer problems.
The 1.21.80 update makes Minecraft Bedrock more powerful and user-friendly. It brings Java features to more players and improves the overall experience with smarter tools and better controls.
