Minecraft: Bedrock edition beta testing some ‘Update Caves and Cliffs has initially added goats and snow powder

If you are a fan of Minecraft and you are registered for the beta version of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, you’ll want to pay special attention to the new beta update that is being deployed for the initiated now. Beta 1.16.200.52 is a mundane update on the surface, filled mostly with new bug fixes for the already released Nether update, but this beta differs from other recent releases by hiding experimental features behind a toggle buried in the settings.

With the latest beta version of Minecraft players can test a handful of features that will be included in the next update Caves and Cliffs, which was announced in Minecraft Live in style. There has been an experimental Features toggle in Minecraft for a while, but with the latest beta it’s expanded to be more powerful and granular, and using these toggle players may enable early caves and cliff shelters to update. before the Nether Update has even had its final farewell.
