Fixes in Minecraft PE 1.17.40.20
In Minecraft PE 1.17.40.20, a new sub-biome has been added – the stony peaks. It resembles tall mountains but is completely devoid of snow. Instead, it features an abundance of gravel blocks and stones. The map generation speed has also been improved, but the developers encourage players to pay attention to it and provide feedback if necessary. Currently, there is only one issue reported in Minecraft on Android – beehives are generated too frequently.
Among the enhancements and modifications in MCBE, the following points stand out:
- Beehives now generate with their openings facing south in the world
- The crafting of maps by cartographers has been improved
- Armor on pillagers and raiders is no longer visible, but its effects remain
- Caves in the overworld now feature a greater number of hostile mobs
- Objects in mountain meadows are now correctly positioned
- The distribution of ores in Minecraft has been slightly altered
- Clouds are now positioned at Y level 192
- Biome, river, and terrain generation has been slightly modified for better aesthetics
- Mob and monster spawning in mountainous sub-biomes has been enhanced
