Minecraft PE 1.16.100.50

Minecraft Beta 1.16.100.50 was the first beta version for the 1.16.100 update, released on July 30, 2020, bringing significant improvements to the achievements system and important technical enhancements for Android players. This beta version introduced a completely redesigned achievements screen and made several key gameplay systems more data-driven, laying important groundwork for future updates.

New Achievements Screen and User Interface

The most visible change in this beta was the introduction of a brand new achievements details screen that made tracking progress much more intuitive and informative. This redesign provided players with better visibility into their accomplishments and progress toward unlocking new achievements, making the mobile Minecraft experience more rewarding.

Creative Mode Inventory Updates

This Android apk added farmland blocks to the Creative inventory for the first time, giving builders direct access to this important agricultural block without needing to till dirt first. This quality-of-life improvement made creating farm layouts and agricultural builds much more convenient in creative mode.

Technical and Data-Driven Improvements

Beta 1.16.100.50 made several important systems more data-driven, which improved performance and made the game more stable on mobile devices:

• The minecraft:behavior.controlled_by_player goal became data-driven for better performance
• Squid rendering was converted to a data-driven system
• All minecart types became data-driven, including regular minecarts and variants with chests, hoppers, command blocks, and TNT
• Physics Component's has_gravity now properly determines water gravity for mobs without Navigation Components

Mob Behavior and Performance Fixes

Several important mob behavior improvements were included in this version. The mob inactivity timer now resets when players are within 50 blocks, ensuring creatures remain active and responsive during gameplay. Ghasts can now spawn correctly in all light levels again, fixing a bug that was limiting their natural spawning behavior.

Entity and Movement Improvements

This beta addressed various entity behavior issues that were affecting gameplay quality:

• Fixed Vex movement along x and z directions for more natural flight patterns
• Blaze mobs now properly switch between melee and ranged attacks based on player distance
• Falling blocks now break correctly after falling for extended periods
• Ender Crystals can no longer be pushed by other entities

Android Performance and Accessibility

The update included important accessibility improvements with the addition of a Noto Sans font license button and popup dialog in the Settings screen, ensuring proper font licensing compliance. These changes help maintain consistent text rendering across different Android devices and system languages.

Command and Technical Features

For players interested in commands and technical gameplay, this beta made Chain Command Blocks obtainable through the /give command once again, restoring functionality that had been missing in previous versions. This was particularly important for redstone engineers and command block enthusiasts working on complex contraptions.

Education Edition Integration

The beta also included fixes for Minecraft Education Edition features, specifically addressing a visual issue where clicking to edit text boxes in NPC dialogs wouldn't show the text cursor properly. This ensured that educational content and interactive elements worked correctly on mobile platforms.

As a beta version, Minecraft 1.16.100.50 represented an important testing phase where these new achievements interface changes and technical improvements were refined based on community feedback. The data-driven system conversions particularly benefited Android performance by reducing the computational overhead of various game systems.

This apk was crucial for testing how the new achievements screen would work on different screen sizes and resolutions common in the Android ecosystem, ensuring the interface improvements would benefit all mobile players when the final 1.16.100 update was released.
